Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Leicester

Saturday’s events conclude at the Etihad Stadium where the champions-elect Manchester City host Leicester City.

Fantasy managers will of course be focused on the home side’s attacking assets, with Sergio Aguero backed by 778,000 (13.5%) with the captaincy, including 26 of the top 100 – second only to Mohamed Salah (50).

The Argentine goes into this game with seven goals in his last four home Premier League matches and 10 in his last six in all competitions.

Kevin De Bruyne (3.8%) and Raheem Sterling (2.5%) are also among the top seven captaincy picks for the Gameweek and also boast exceptional records on home turf. De Bruyne has scored 33 points from his previous four, while Sterling has produced 37.

The City defence has been less productive, with just one clean sheet from their last five Gameweeks. Nicolas Otamendi – the top owned defender in the game (31.3%), starts his 15th successive match in all competitions today.

Leicester will be buoyed by City’s defensive record. They recall Riyad Mahrez to the bench after his recent absence following City’s deadline day bid. That leaves Jamie Vardy as perhaps their most likely source of Fantasy returns – he boasts goals in each of his last three Gameweeks.

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

      I would probably laminate it and send it, along with a strongly worded letter, to Granville.

    After being a free member for a few years I joined this year purely to give £12 out of respect to the people that run this site as it is great. Remember FPL is just a free fantasy game that people who enjoy football can play.

    However now I am a member I cannot believe the number of bitchy, self centred, insecure and nasty comments that occur on this site. I am sure a school with a policy for bullying would remove Some members on this site.

    I have one suggestion - add a mute facility so a member can "mute" comments from certain people so they do not have to ever see again comments from some of the deranged idiots that are frequenting this excellent site.

    FFS keep doing what you are doing - Everyone has a right to an opinion but as a member it would be great if I had the right to block all future opinions from certain people leaving me with just the members I respect ?

      Agree with this. Alot of replies we get to our teams or in general are childish at best.

      Only been a member for 3 seasons, but the site has changed so much in that time and grown so much, not always for the better.

    Finding it difficult to believe that there is so much shit flying about over a virtual game . Ciriticism can either be constructive or the opposite and the reaction to it sensible or OTT. The plot has been lost over the whole matter IMO.

      Probably (if Swansea beat Sheffield Wednesday OR Southampton beat West Brom in the FA Cup)

    No Kun, benched Shaqiri instead of Son (made sense at the time)....not good. A brace from Firmino and Wilson with a cheeky Alonso goal would make up for some of the disappintment. This game can really toy with your mood.

      Equally the best but most frustrating game ever.
      U turn into a proper Judas for it and all loyalty and allegiance takes a swan dive over a bridge for want of a successful gw at the expense of your beloved team

      i was looking at him for vardy. But to sell a player after a 4 goal haul is madness. Unless Jesus comes back
