Dugout Discussion – Leicester vs West Brom

Gameweek 8 concludes at the King Power Stadium with Leicester City hosting West Bromwich Albion.

The Fantasy Football community will be torn heading into this encounter, with allegiances split between the home attack and the Baggies backline.

Jamie Vardy is undoubtedly the star turn on show. Owned by 16.3% of managers, the five-goal striker was brought in by 294,000 ahead of Gameweek 8, the third most popular transfer target. He has goals in his last two in front of his own supporters, but is yet to score against West Brom at home in three attempts.

Elsewhere for the Foxes, Harry Maguire boasts an ownership of 7.4%, attracting just over 40,000 new managers prior to Saturday’s deadline. The centre-back has a goal and an assist from his three home appearances so far.

Ahmed Hegazi remains the most popular asset in the West Brom camp. Still part of 1.3 million squads, he’s been benched by 353,000 (26.9%) ahead of tonight’s clash.

Meanwhile, Ben Foster was due to be backed by an ownership of just over 800,000 but will play no part in tonight’s match having been ruled out with a knee problem. Over 347,000 of his managers named Foster in their starting XI and now turn to their reserve keeper.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      A brace, a goal, an assist, not getting booked, not getting sent off, making 60 mins.

      Anything!

    In order to beat my H2H opponent I need Okazaki to come on late in the second half so he gets 1 point and then get a yellow so he gets -1 for a total of zero. If not he will get 2 points from an auto sub and beat me by 1 point. Lol.

    Chance of this happening...?

      Zero

        Well he is on the bench so first part of my dream is true no...?

    Be interesting to see how Nacho plays tonight could become a viable prospect if he puts in a few good performances. Just hoping he doesn't become a Macheda (he was the next Pele for those who never heard of him)

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…

        6 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah i saw that 🙂

        Pity the dildo brothers wouldn't cough up the money, West Ham would have been the perfect club for him

      Interestingly Macheda's goals won United 4 points. Without them Liverpool would have won the title.

        That alone makes him one of the true greats

    whats with foster ?

      knee knack

  12. Scotty B

    Best replacement for Salah?

    A Silva
    B Sane
    C Sterling

    1. Wild Rover

      Salah

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years

        This

    2. Rock n Grohl
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Check GW 10 onwards before making that call. If you're sold alreadys then Silva for consistency v Stirling for explosive returns. Stirling just edges it imo

    Best defender to get for TAA who costs 6.0 or less? Kinda put off by Chelsea now that Kante is out and can't protect them. Jones or a City def perhaps?

    Already have DDG - Elliott
    Bavies - Hegazi - Mee - TAA - Mbemba

    1. ENZO SZN™
      • 6 Years

      Jones the season keeper.

      1. PDM TOP 1,000 any Season Le…
        • 14 Years

        Surely DDG is the season keeper !

  14. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Never had a penalty save in all the years I've played. Foster saving a Vardy effort would be lovely 🙂

    1. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      would be a miracle seeing as Myhill starts 🙂

    Would Kane > Aguero be madness? Looks to me like it could pay off (CL dependant) with WC still in the back pocket for GW12.

    Morgan hattrick odds?

    1. R.C

      1 in 1000

    2. Fred54

      About the same chance of WR showing his face here again before half time.

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years

      50/50

    4. GuyIncognito

      About as likely as Leicester winning the Premier League.

    Vardy is such a toe rag.

    Well at least Hegazi's not on negative points....
