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.

      Yup. Its time to sell him

    4. Frank Black

      Same.

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

    Leicester 31% possession.

    1. Costa in Wengerland
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Yes Because United players were playing with eachother without going forward 😉

    2. Frank Black
      10 years, 11 months ago

      United's possession is poor, though.

  7. zon
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Not gonna watch a United game again this season. Every sunday league team plays with a higher tempo.

    1. Mr. Grv
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Aren't you a united fan?

      1. Costa in Wengerland
        10 years, 11 months ago

        But he is right.

        1. Mr. Grv
          10 years, 11 months ago

          I know but that doesn't mean here should stop watching the games

          1. Costa in Wengerland
            10 years, 11 months ago

            Lol thats just frustration 😉

            But i still watch Chelsea's games

      2. #WinterIsNotComing
        10 years, 11 months ago

        He is not alone even if he is a UTD fan, most of us are just pissed at lvg's philosophy

      3. zon
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Haha I keep misleading ppl with my grav 😀 Not a united fan, I just admire Mata as a player. LVG is smothering him too though...

    2. Hypnos
      10 years, 11 months ago

      fergie's gone get over it

  8. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    10 years, 11 months ago

    82 points 9 players + (c) left

    Red or green arrow?

  9. #WinterIsNotComing
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Finally time for Mata to go out. LVG has almost destroyed Utd's attacking style.

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

      Not almost

      Totally

    2. Nicks93
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Like they had a style with Moyes?

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

    Delighted with 56 with 5 to play. I feel it's ok to say because I'd say when it's going badly too.

    Not bragging - disappointed at the advise I see here when people are happy with their score.

    Commiserations to those who've had a bad week so far.

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

      Team link?

    2. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 11 months ago

      You buy we would have to be you. I would rather a junk score 🙂

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 11 months ago

        *yes but.

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

        Sorry about your score.

        1. Worzel Gummidge
          10 years, 11 months ago

          I have 8 million with 14 to play.

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

    75 points with 11 players left including (c) good or bad?

    1. Jazz!
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Horrific

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

        I know, right!

  12. Mr Alex
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Extremely pleased the big Ally Pardew merked Newcastle after he was treated so poorly there. Good on the lad IMO!

  13. Frank Black
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Not getting Kun and keeping KDB has been the best decision of the season for me so far.

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

      Selling KDB + Vardy for Kun and Coutinho has been the worse for me

      1. Frank Black
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Well........Coutinho still has to play...

          1. Frank Black
            10 years, 11 months ago

            You can't trust the Scarecrow.

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

              glad someone else sees it

              1. Frank Black
                10 years, 11 months ago

                There is nothing to fear, but fear itself.

            2. Worzel Gummidge
              10 years, 11 months ago

              oi.

    2. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I think we just won the toss of a coin this week.

      1. Frank Black
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Maybe but i had to get rid of KDB and Ighalo in order to get Kun. Definitely pleased i didn't do that.

    3. Sp0rting
      10 years, 11 months ago

      You must have had a really crappy 13 weeks until now.

      1. Frank Black
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Pretty much, yes, more like 11...

  14. MoSalah Dosa
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Deulofeu to Barkley before the price rise ??

    1. Captain Vantastic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 months ago

      No. I'd keep.

  15. #WinterIsNotComing
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Decent replacement for Mata?
    Coutinho?

    1. Costa in Wengerland
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Barkley or Deulofoeu

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Probably not. I got him in instead of getting Ighalo

  16. HuttonDressedasLahm
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Jees, all these scores being bandied about 🙁

  17. Lallana_
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Thought I did well with 51 pts (with 5 left) but you guys are posting some insane scores!

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

      all true too

    2. ralfb
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Big red for you, i suppose

  18. 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?

  19. The 12th Man
    10 years, 11 months ago

    54 (-8) here
    Mignolet, Moreno, Bellerin, Sanchez, Özil left.

    1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      10 years, 11 months ago

      That could get real big.

      1. The 12th Man
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I'm hoping.

  20. pundit of punts
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Mahrez ➡ Barkley for me this gw.

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

      Have neither, they have killed me.

      1. pundit of punts
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Time to get Barkley I think.

        Everton have the fixtures and scoring form.

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

      Looks like a good move!

      1. S.Kuqi
        10 years, 11 months ago

        See previous page. Masses don't agree

    3. S.Kuqi
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Not bad move.

    4. Milner4eva
      10 years, 11 months ago

      YYT to Barkley for me, feels like a no brainer

    5. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Personally I'd sooner have Mahrez as a season keeper than Vardy. Nobody is gonna come near him in terms of value and he'll probably be back on penalties soon enough.

  21. ralfb
    10 years, 11 months ago

    After not getting kun now, have 10m to replace ayew.

    A barkley
    B silva
    C coutinho?

  22. Ziro Becomes One
    10 years, 11 months ago

    To spread some early cheer to the low scorers, I am on 29 points. :santa:

  23. Robe Wan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone else got

    Rojo
    Cedric
    Bellerin

    LOL

    1. ralfb
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Bellerin didnt even play yet, so he might be ok

    2. The 12th Man
      10 years, 11 months ago

      What's wrong with Bellerin?

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

        Rumour earlier he has a knock

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I have only 11 players inc Bellerin & Sanchez

  24. Lyonnais

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

      Don't trust The Scarecrow

    3. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 11 months ago

      That guy has less followers than me

      1. Frank Black
        10 years, 11 months ago

        That says a lot 😉

    4. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I can confirm that is a tweet.

  25. Every Dog Has Its Day
    10 years, 11 months ago

    I just phoned up Pellegrini and he said to me - "I spoke with Aguero before the game and we said he would play 65 minutes. He has a kick on his heel, but nothing important." he also said "LOL @ KDB SELLERS".

    1. Milner4eva
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Why are you spouting this nonsense? Stop.

      1. Every Dog Has Its Day
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Well it's true the first part...

  26. Milner4eva
    10 years, 11 months ago

    109 points with Cech and Bellerin left, green arrow or am I just attention seeking?

    1. Lloyd Xmas
      10 years, 11 months ago

      You know ! lol 🙂 well done if true.

  27. Syd.
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Need a Begovic hat trick so save my gameweek

    1. Lloyd Xmas
      10 years, 11 months ago

      is he on pens?

  28. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 11 months ago

    You feckkkers scored 50+?

    Really?

    I'm happy with 34 with 5 + c to play

    1. pundit of punts
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Aye and captain still to play. 😀

  29. jam sandwich
    10 years, 11 months ago

    did the averages get posted yet?

    48 off 6 here

    1. ralfb
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Including all babs?

      1. jam sandwich
        10 years, 11 months ago

        not tomorrow's

        1. ralfb
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Lol

      1. jam sandwich
        10 years, 11 months ago

        thanks

      2. ralfb
        10 years, 11 months ago

        There its only 41 points. I assume thats correct?

    2. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 11 months ago

      You da man. You single?

  30. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
    10 years, 11 months ago

    How important is it to get Aguero atm?

    Team:

    Myhill (McCarthy)
    Moreno Bellerin VVD (Morgan Francis)
    Sanchez Ozil KDB Barkley (Mahrez)
    Lukaku Vardy (Ighalo)

    1 FT, 4.2m ITB.

    Otherwise I'd probably upgrade Mahrez instead. Or a defender.

    Also, any idea on how to fit in Aguero? Don't mind taking a hit - but don't see a combination that works.

    1. SLB_1904
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Nope, wouldn't drop anyone from your attack for "glass legs" Kun, Your team is fine.

      1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
        10 years, 11 months ago

        That's what I'm thinking too. Still a bit weird though.

        Any idea what to do with the 4.2m?

    2. Syd.
      10 years, 11 months ago

      He's injured again

      1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
        10 years, 11 months ago

        That's nothing I believe.
