Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Leicester City

In a battle for supremacy at the summit, Manchester City welcome Leicester City to the Etihad. The Foxes are in the midst of a six-match unbeaten streak that started with their goalless draw in the reverse fixture, while the Sky Blues haven’t tasted defeat in seven outings.

Only two teams mustered more big chances (eight) over the last four Gameweeks than Leicester, who racked up seven goals during that period. It’s on the defensive end that Claudio Ranieiri’s troops were the most impressive, though, conceding the second-fewest goals (one), sixth-fewest shots inside the box (25) and fewest big chances (two).

Despite ranking third for attempts (61) and joint-fourth for goals (seven) since Gameweek 21, the Sky Blues recorded just 14 shots on target, engendering the worst shot accuracy (23%) of any team. On the flip side, Manuel Pellegrini’s men conceded just two goals and registered three clean sheets. Moreover, only two teams allowed fewer shots inside the box (24), while they placed joint-second-bottom with regards to big chances conceded (three).

    No words can describe how angry I am... Our defence is absolutely terrible. I honestly cannot wait until Guardiola so he can sell that fat sack of sh!t Yaya.

      Form > Fixtures

      When will you people ever learn?? 😆

        Vardy blanked no? 😉

        Ikr. Fixtures only play a minor part in truth. It's mainly all in the form. Personally I always decide stuff through both form and my instinct which has done me quite well so far. So far got Aguero on 6 and Mahrez on 11 (should be 14 after Bonus points and Kante assist fixed).

    9. JayBomb
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Kante on 2 assists???

      1. il Brutto
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        They'll remove one soon. Don't know how that affects babs.

    10. Garlana
      • 9 Years

      Kane could still fail which would be ideal for kun cappers, I'm saying this as a Kane captainer...

      1. Mr. Grv
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        But if Kane is fail alli might come on so Kane assist tot 3-0 up and alli on bench

      FPL faux pas
      3 leceister goals
      4 assists

      1. JayBomb
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        This Kante with 2 assists

    12. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Please don't play Dele Alli. I know I don't deserve the points from Mahrez but no one deserves a 1 point sub appearance.

      1. Ha.
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Except those Kolarov owners last week

      2. Trae44
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        You do if you benched Mahrez

    13. Your Mum's Athletic
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Kun is nowhere near the BAPS, no chance

      1. Mull
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Good. It'd be pretty shocking if he was.

        1. Your Mum's Athletic
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          absolutely agreed. If anything it will be Kante/Huth/Mahrez

      2. JayBomb
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        They need yo change Kante from 2 assists to 1.

        1. Your Mum's Athletic
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          won't make any difference to Kun

        2. edison
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah, that's a fpl bug. Can Kane do it now ?

    14. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      So is that Kun goal fairly okay for us Kane captainers?

      At least no BPs, so even an assist for Kane could cancel it out

      1. Ha.
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Kane going to get a monster haul, I can feel it

        1. Bøwstring The Carp
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Two (C) fails in a row, I really hope you're right 🙁

      2. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        If you have Mahrez as well it's not that bad because of the extra baps 😉

      3. Jazz!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Yep!

      1. Arctic monkeys

        Yes, could have easily had a brace.

      30 points benched in UFPL so far. Good start.

    18. Numb
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Who would you rather have captain at this point?

      Aguero 6 points

      or

      Kane ? points

      1. Mr. Grv
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Lukaku think he will score big

      2. Ha.
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Kane

      3. Arctic monkeys
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Kane.

      4. 1zverGGademN
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Kane loves london derbies Hatty incoming

      5. Cake by the pound

        Kane fingers crossed

      6. threeputt

        I'd rather take the points in hand, gutted aguero scored tbh

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years

        Kane

      8. Sasquatch Slayer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        As an Aguero captainer id switch to Kane right now

    19. Yome
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Looks like Watford are playing 5 in midfield. Will be tough for Kane

    20. Your Mum's Athletic
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Quick good luck if you actually got Paloschi in, 80/1 for a hattie, 1 quid on 😆

    21. F_Ivanovic
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      If Lukaku doesn't play it will justify my decision not to sell him!

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 9 Years

        nvm, forgot team news is out lol

    22. MountainBeach
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Can't believe I benched Mahrez, hope to god Alli doesn't play

      1. threeputt
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        best hope spurs take the lead then, Watford do seem to be pretty good defensively tho

        1. MountainBeach
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          I feel like he'll play a few minutes even if they're up unfortunately, really hope it isn't so

      Any fecker still want to post this

      "Since Liverpool last won the League Peter Schmeichel signed for Manchester Utd, won it 5 times, retired, had a son, and he's about to win it with Leicester."

    25. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 13 Years

      Leicester with only 34% possession in that game

      Title chances looking bleak.

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years

        How much?

        1. joinho
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          I only put £2 on @ 25/1 can cash out now for £15 just annoyed I didn't put more on

        This weekend, 4 seasons ago, was the highest scoring weekend ever in the PL with 41 goals in 8 games

        Stupid me for not following my instinct about Alli being benched.

        Was advised here that he'd either start or miss out completely.

        🙁

      5. tm245
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Only have three starters in the afternoon matches, with Walker and Alli on the bench.
