The unstoppable force meets the immovable object as Leicester City lock horns with Manchester United at the King Power Stadium. The Foxes are yet to draw a blank this term but face a tough task maintaining that record against a Red Devils rearguard that’s conceded one goal since Gameweek 9.

The Foxes have thrived at home and rank top for goals (15) and big chances (22). Furthermore, only Arsenal have amassed more attempts (120 compared to 100) and shots inside the box (89 to 74). Coupled to this, Leicester have proved a tough nut to crack over the last four Gameweeks, claiming two shut-outs while placing second-bottom for shots inside the box conceded (21) and third-bottom for big chances conceded (two).

Man United are unbeaten in their previous trio of road ties, having conceded a solitary goal in the process. In terms of their threat away from home, the Red Devils rank joint-fifth for goals scored (10), despite the fact they chart in the bottom four with regards to attempts (67) and shots inside the box (37). They’ve certainly not been infallible, though, so Claudio Ranieri’s men will draw encouragement from Man United’s road defeats to Swansea City and Arsenal.

    One of the worst halves of the season that

    62k overall, 50p. Green or red?

      green

    2. S.Kuqi
      10 years, 11 months ago

      How many players left?

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Bellerin, Moreno, Sanchez

        1. S.Kuqi
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Decent score then

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah, my bad. I think Vardy and Lukaku have bonus, so it'll be around 50.

        1. S.Kuqi
          10 years, 11 months ago

          No baps for Lukaku

      Agreed.

    2. Mr. Grv
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Best attack vs best defence 1-1

    Who owns the all time record of 12 games scoring?

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Isn't it an Irish guy that played for Shamrock Rovers or something? Came across it in the paper last week

    Vardy doesn't hold the all-time English league record.

    1. JØ
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Most consecutive top flight league matches scored in: 12, Jimmy Dunne, for Sheffield United between 24-October-1931 and 1-January-1932, 18 goals in all

          Just saying, people acting like this league hadn't existed before 1992.

          1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            10 years, 11 months ago

            This league didn't...

            But i get what you mean

          2. Scab
            10 years, 11 months ago

            or 1932 lol

          3. Gimli son of Gloin
            10 years, 11 months ago

            John Aldridge scored 10 games in a row as well I think, which would be equal to Van Nistelrooy.. branding Vardy as a record breaker and hyping it up is good for selling papers and attractive tv viewers though I'm sure, so I can't really blame them

      2. RÏɠBY
        10 years, 11 months ago

        and with proper balls.. no0t these balloons of today

        1. FALCAO & MOU

          Balloons are difficult to kick bruh.

  7. Pedram
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Van Gaal's team play an ugly style of football.

    Must be the philoshophee

  8. Worzel Gummidge
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Thanks god that is over. Man U need to be relegated.

    1. Syd.

      A thing of dreams

  9. pundit of punts

    It's couldn't have gone any better today as a City fan and a FPL manager.

    Well chuffed. 😀

  10. RÏɠBY

    good job vardy.. up from nowhere to reek havoc in the top flight

  11. Syd.

    Average week again

  12. tm245
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Owning Aguero and Ighalo over Vardy and Lukaku only a 1 pt defeat, 14-15.

    Captaining Aguero, though...

    1. ralfb
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Should have ighalo vardy and lukaku

      1. tm245
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Then how could I own Kane?

  13. Deep Sea Amphipod
    10 years, 11 months ago

    I'm happy with everyone in my team but I want Ozil, KDB and Firmino/Coutinho. Hmmmmmm

    1. Deep Sea Amphipod
      10 years, 11 months ago

      And Lukaku! Blimey.

  14. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Should a team like Utd feel obliged to play entertaining football?

    1. Syd.
      10 years, 11 months ago

      No

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Nope

    3. Retrosynth
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I think yes. Should be playing for the fans, love of the game. Even if they're only playing for cash, fans foot the bill so yeah. I'm wondering how many United players are really proud of how they're playing, or feel like they're really enjoying their football.

  15. Diva
    10 years, 11 months ago

    2000 Agüero sales so far this gameweek. Only Pellè has had more sales among forwards.

    1. King Kav. QC at law
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Price drop inevitable.

    2. FALCAO & MOU
      10 years, 11 months ago

      The sick casuals.

  16. Clumsy Sakho
    10 years, 11 months ago

    What a terrible day. 26pts with 5 to play. Plus a -4. And to add salt to my wounds benched both mané and kolarov. Great.

    1. boc610
      10 years, 11 months ago

      so many on here tried to convince everyone KDB wasnt playing well, was going to be benched and based it on nothing other than a few poor fantasy returns even he has been far and away citys most consistent player this season

  17. money face bandwagon
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Great result for utd to draw against the league leader. Well done

    1. King Kav. QC at law

      Away from home too. Good stuff.

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 months ago

      no. they are pretending

    2. King Kav. QC at law
      10 years, 11 months ago

      That is right.

    3. Syd.
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Just the norm these days

    4. Costa in Wengerland
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Where ? After match ?

  21. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Vardy and Schweinsteiger currently on 3 baps.

    1. fancy111
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Ffs, why do I keep resisting picking up Vardy? Another 9 point game for him then?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        10 years, 11 months ago

        8 or 9 likely.

    2. Jigger & Pony

      Sweet

    3. RÏɠBY

      and i played cabaye over him
      need my head sorted

  22. Costa in Wengerland

    Only 1 Cs today

    Sunderland

      * checks PvA price.

    2. fancy111
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I had picked Van annholt during the week but stopped because I didn't want the -8 to also pick up De Bruyne... Looked good against Palace... Worst FPL week decisions of the year

      1. Costa in Wengerland
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I transferred KDB out this week for Barkley

  23. Saniul
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Almost did Mahrez to Barkley this week.
    But then again, he is the Leicester guy who I want to have for 38 weeks, not Vardy...

    1. Ziro Becomes One
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Vardy will get a fair share of assists though, when his scoring slows down. In current form, both undroppable even in spite of fixtures.

  24. SLB_1904
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Is Yoshida nailed? Need a cheap defender to swap Williams for. Either him or Simpson? Any other viable option?

    1. Costa in Wengerland
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Simpson is Nailed on

      Yoshida only for big matches because Cedric is Card magnet as i have heard

      1. SLB_1904
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers, Simpson it is then.

    2. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 months ago

      After today he should lose his spot to Cedric again.

      1. SLB_1904
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Going for Simpson then

  25. RÏɠBY
    10 years, 11 months ago

    vardy doesn't have his cast on!? sans mojo can he continue?

  26. Az

    Bolasie or Barkley ??

    1. TorresMagic™

      10 years, 11 months ago

      Barkley

    2. Worzel Gummidge

      Neither.

    3. fancy111

      Barkley

  29. Worzel Gummidge
    10 years, 11 months ago

    I am glad all my players scored loads of point and happy everyone else players didn't do well.

    1. King Kav. QC at law
      10 years, 11 months ago

      A normal reaction.

    2. Desert Phoenix
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Precariously placed this week in my head to head. I have a 12pt lead and Coutinho to play Vs Bellerin and Kane for him. What are my chances

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I think you win.

        1. Desert Phoenix
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Think Hazzard may appear tomorrow.

  30. bentekesrightfoot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 11 months ago

    was planning Vardy to Kane this week.. but can I really transfer out a guy who's scored in 11 consecutive games :(?
