The truncated nature of Gameweek 30 means there are just four three o’clock kick-offs for Fantasy managers to consider this afternoon. Given their conflicting form heading into the Gameweek, Leicester City’s home tie against Norwich City looks like a one-sided affair and potentially our main source of returns on offer.

The Foxes thrived in the final third over the last four Gameweeks, placing joint-second for goals (nine) and joint-top for big chances (11). Furthermore, they ranked top in terms of shot accuracy (42.9%) and second for shot-conversion rate (18.4%). As for the Canaries, they shipped two more goals (12) than any side around the league. Nonetheless, they posted the third-best shot-conversion rate (14%), which hints that the hosts won’t have it all their own way – all the more so, given that Leicester have conceded more shots inside the box (44) than any side from Gameweek 23 onwards.

Southampton seek a seventh clean sheet on the bounce when Chelsea visit St Mary’s Stadium. Although the Saints’ rearguard wasn’t breached across the previous four Gameweeks, the Blues will draw encouragement from the fact that Ronald Koeman’s men ranked sixth for shots inside the box conceded (39) and joint-seventh for big chances conceded (seven). Allied to that, Chelsea charted joint-fourth for goals (seven) and shots on target (21) during that period.

Having arrested their losing streak with a 3-1 victory over Bournemouth, Stoke City search for consecutive wins when Aston Villa roll up at Britannia Stadium. Considering that they placed joint-second-bottom for attempts (36) and bottom for shots inside the box (15) over the last four Gameweeks, the Potters clearly need to establish some consistency on the attacking front. The Villains, meanwhile, bagged just two goals and the joint-least big chances (two) – pointing towards a possible stalemate.

Fresh from a 2-1 win at Crystal Palace, Watford lock horns with a Bournemouth outfit that’s suffered successive defeats. Although the Hornets notched just four goals across the past four Gameweeks, their regimented defence was bested on only three occasions. Even though the Cherries allowed 20 fewer shots inside the box (23 compared to 43) than Watford, Eddie Howe’s charges saw their net ripple seven times.

    Who actually got the Leicester assist? Vardy's been given it but Livescore have got it as Albrighton.

      Very nice finish wasn't it? Big mistake made by PvA there.

    2. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      50/50. No Bolasie but also no Evans. Actually Bolasie might be on the bench, not sure. Zaha has the pace to undo Brom anyway.

    3. Huddersfield

    Payet c and Drinkwater as my only Leicester attacker. Feel like I have dodged a bullet so far, even if Vardy keeps his assist.

    1. edison
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      you can only dodge a bullet if you get a green for this week.

        na, its not guaranteed, currently he's > 35 pts off a top 10k finish

  9. thunder_mike
    • 13 Years

    Definitely a touch from Vardy

  10. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    When I play Francis he gets 1 point. When I bench him he gets 6 or 9.

    1. Dempsey
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      please don't tell me you benched him

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Are you playing him midweek ?

  11. Gazpilicueta
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    I put Gosling on instead of Daniels.....17 minutes of Gosling play means I lost 7-8 points

  12. davies
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Bertrand (0) & Francis (9)

    Guess which I played...

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Bertrand

    2. Odikostar
      • 11 Years

    Wow at the Fabregas goal.

  16. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years

    Any hope of baps for Ivan?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Depends on deductions.

  17. Every Dog Has Its Day
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    29 points with Foster, Alderweireld, Alli, Sánchez and Kane. Any good?

    1. Adebayor
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Not bad. I have 31 with Kane, Alli, Wimmer and Ozil left

  18. Rake
    • 10 Years

      no, lucky to get 1 if that

  19. thunder_mike
    • 13 Years

    Forster poor for both goals

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Kill him now!!

      Jeez 😕

  20. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    I'm absolutely baffled at how bias you're all being.

    The assist may well stand and I'm happy to take the points. But there is no touch.

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      I haven't seen it from a decent angle yet

    2. boogle
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Yes there is lol

    3. SHAMESHAMESHAME
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Seriously. Specsavers run eye tests, and they are free on NHS every 2-4 years.

    4. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      There's a definite touch... and I don't own Vardy.

      Even if there wasn't actually a touch, FPL won't change it.

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        This

      2. chinmusic

        This is all true.

    5. Bucky Barnes

      Clear touch

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        A clear touch doesn't result in 4 pages of debate

    6. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      You haven't seen a good view.

      2. Venom Snake

        Baffled.

    Can't remember last time we came back from being under 1-0 😀 Happy days!

    Put 4 pound on an aca with goal in 1st half of Leicester v norwich,
    chelsea, stoke, atletico all to win
    Out of all those what stopped me from winning 144 pound is no 1st half goals in a game including one of the worst defences and the league leaders.

    I'm so done.

  23. Hybrid.power

    Ivanovic has no bonus right now. He should get something fot winning goal right?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I went for Austin over Vardy, and Vardy definitely got a touch to that. Look at how the direction of the ball changed. 🙁

    Is there a dubious assist panel?

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years

      Chaired by Optimus .

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      You know he touched it 🙂

    3. thunder_mike
      • 13 Years

      Wasn't dubious, can see the slight change in direction.

      1. Fitzy.

    So annoying when you spend the whole week weighing up a transfer and don't do it and it backfires so horribly 🙁

  29. GAMBIT
    • 11 Years

    26 with Kane, Alli, Sanchez, Ozil and baps left... any good?

    1. Mr Arsenal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Amazing

    2. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Similar to mine, got about 27 pre baps, Kane, Erikson, Dier and Ozil to play. Not having Arnie was the real missed opportunity so far.

  30. Slam

    Even after benching Antonio I've got 37(+2) with 4 to go 🙂
    Should be enough to get into the top 500k. Happy days
