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.

    47 after BPs with Willian and Sanchez (C) to go

    Might work out

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

      Counting on Sanchez (c) here as well.

    Glad I went Gosling over Stanislas, at least I won't be regretting benching him every time he gets a haul.

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

      I am super glad I went with Darren Fletcher

    2. the axolotl
      10 years, 11 months ago

      went with watson. i'm fairly content with just an assist on the bench

    3. fickle
      10 years, 11 months ago

      westwood is even better, he gets 0 pts every time

  3. Son is Rising

    is D1sable about? I've got a SkyFF dilemma...

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

      What's the dilemma?

      1. Son is Rising
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Really want to get Kane in, but would have to chop one of Vardy, Igahlo, or Lukaku.

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

          So how is this a SkyFF dilemma and not a normal fantasy game dilemma?

          1. ​
            10 years, 11 months ago

            Kane has more competition for MOTM performances

          2. Son is Rising
            10 years, 11 months ago

            Captain rotations (if I bring in Kane I can have a captain tomorrow), limited transfers (only 20 left 🙁 ), price differences and no need to worry about price rises/losing value on players I'm transferring out. I take your point though!

            1. Son is Rising
              10 years, 11 months ago

              And as Sepp says the man of the match thing plays a big part.

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

          Don't think D1sable has Kane. Good luck.

  4. Saniul
    10 years, 11 months ago

    3 bonus each for five pretty common players. Vardy, de Bruyne, Bolasie, Barkley, Ighalo.

    How many of them did you have? 3/5 for me.

    1. pundit of punts
      10 years, 11 months ago

      3 for me as well.

      Barkely or Stanislas 3 BAPS?

      1. 420king
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Barkley

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

      2/5

      Since when did Bolasie become common?

      1. The Machine
        10 years, 11 months ago

        He just wanted to brag...

        1. Saniul
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Haha, just for myself to include one. 😉

    3. The Machine
      10 years, 11 months ago

      The only one who costs morebthan 8m....such is my luck...

      1. Saniul
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Sorry, just wanted to make myself look better. 😛

    8. The one and last
      10 years, 11 months ago

    9. Every Dog Has Its Day

      1/5

    10. Dušan Citizen
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I knew I should've captained Vardy over Lukaku.

    11. Greenbackbøøg…
      10 years, 11 months ago

      NONE OF THEM!! YEAAAA

      1. Saniul
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Haha, you must have had a rough week, then...

    12. Ha.
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Without Bolasie I'd be in deep trouble this week

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

      3/5, but left De Brunye on the bench in a moment of madness.

  5. Live Lad
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Next week's fixtures are good for bench boost. What do u think?

  6. Ha.
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Can someone update me on Aguero injury? Out the loop a bit. Worth ditching and bringing in KDB? Ain't nobody got time for 2 points.

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

      Wait for news.

      1. danlynch13
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Pelle said he's only got a small knock.. Be patient no point getting de Bruyne in just because he did better this week

        1. Ha.
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Thanks. Just want to make sure I have the right City cover.

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

      Pelle said its just a kick on his heel. He will be fine.

  7. JAC THE CAT
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Mahrez ---> Coutinho

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

      Can't afford it, and not sure it's a good idea.

  8. DA Minnion (Former great)
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Didn't realise it's an irish man Jimmy dunne who holds the record of scoring in 12 games in a row for Sheffield United.

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

      Well now you did realise it, good for you 🙂

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Good man

    2. Bøwstring The Carp
      10 years, 11 months ago

      That's who I was thinking of @TorresMagic

      Knew he played for Shamrock Rovers

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

    This weeks H2H

    What do you think?

    A) Bellerin Alderwield Sanchez Firmino
    B) Coutinho Kane + 10 points

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      10 years, 11 months ago

      A, but depends on who comes in if Coutinho is out for B

    2. pundit of punts
      10 years, 11 months ago

      A

  10. Bøwstring The Carp
    10 years, 11 months ago

    If Aguero is out next week I may even ditch him for Costa (C) for a week

    Costa due a haul and Bournemouth look cack

    1. Ha.
      10 years, 11 months ago

      This is tempting

    2. Live Lad
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Interesting. I may do the same. But I think Kun will be fit to play.

  11. S.Kuqi
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Richards 😎

    I'm so proud of you

    1. Sailboats

    1. Coldplay
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Barkley 3, Stanislas 2, Coleman 1

    10 years, 11 months ago

    1. The Machine
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Becuase they didnt get any penalties. Thank feck

      1. pundit of punts

    2. Monkey Hanger

    Repost, due to no answers.

    Ayew to Barkley??

      10 years, 11 months ago

      I would.

    2. pundit of punts

      Yay

      1. FPL Daniel
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Even though I own Lukaka?

        1. pundit of punts
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Yep.

          I have Lukaku and Coleman and I may ditch Mahrez for Barkley.

    3. Del Griffith
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Is it too late to get Barkley? I feel like I've missed the wagon....

      1. Ha.
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I would've said it's too late this gameweek, but apparently not. Haven't seen the game, how did he play? Hope it's not another lucky goal...

    4. TorresMagic™

      Midweek games.

        I can swallow only 0.1 rise. I might not have the luxury waiting the midweek games 🙁

          No idea what this means. sorry.

    10 years, 11 months ago

    I know this site has now become mostly about putting people down, but isn't there a grace period of about an hour after matches end where it's OK to boast a bit? Seems fair.

    1. Woeisme
      10 years, 11 months ago

      No

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

        Good. A nice low-level put-down.

        1. Woeisme

          Cheers. i'm here for a while

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I don't agree with that . Plenty of people on here respond positively when people get/post good scores

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

        Yeah it only get's annoying when they post it every 5 minutes.

        1. The Machine
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Or the ones that have no idea (or not) about whether their 100+ score is good or not

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

            You really think I got that? 😆

          2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
            10 years, 11 months ago

            if you are going to brag you might aswell do it right

        3. Son is Rising
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Or when they post a ridiculously high score and then ask if it will be red or green, like they don't know...

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

        What is "plenty"? The general theme here most of the time is put-downs. It's one thing when people go on about their score, or do stupid humble-brags, but the default response to a straighforward "I got a great score post" is a put-down.

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          10 years, 11 months ago

          I can't put a number on it but alot of the time especially later on in the evening will respond in a positive manner to a good score . You should post in the deadzone more often

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

            I imagine you're right about that. 🙂

      It's what happens every week isn't it?

  18. Jonny Sutt
    10 years, 11 months ago

    If Aguero is out, is Costa or lukaku the guy for next week?

  19. BigManBakar

    Any update on Coutinho?

    1. FPL Daniel

      Apparently he is out

        10 years, 11 months ago

        Nope, took a 4 point hit to bring him in 🙁

  20. Bøwstring The Carp

    Those who (C) Lukaku

    If you could switch to Sanchez would you?

    1. FPL Daniel
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

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

      Nice grav.

    3. The Machine
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Of course. You want your captain to get explosive scores

    4. Del Griffith
      10 years, 11 months ago

      think I would yes

    5. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yeah.

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

      Nah, I did alright generally so a solid captain score should be enough at this point. Rare enough this season.

    8. Coldplay
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Don't have Alexis, would probably shift to Kane if I could.

      If you think it's the right time for your team. I'm hoping for a good DGW to use mine, but they are far from guaranteed.

      1. Live Lad
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I have DGW in mind too but very difficult to come up with more than 11 DGW players.
