The new Premier League champions return to home soil for their coronation as Everton pay a visit. The Foxes are unbeaten in 10 match-ups but might lack a psychological edge following their title triumph, while the Toffees snapped a seven-match winless streak with a victory over Bournemouth last Gameweek.

Leicester’s attack has excelled across their previous four outings, recording nine goals and two more big chances (12) than any other team. Furthermore, only two clubs (Manchester City and Southampton) boast a superior shot-conversion rate (13.1%) in home clashes than the Foxes. Although Claudio Ranieri’s squad have conceded just three goals in four fixtures, the fact they’ve allowed the sixth-most shots inside the box (35) offers some hope to the visitors.

The Toffees are in desperate need of an attacking spark, given that they placed joint-fourth-bottom for goals (three), bottom for attempts (31), bottom for shots inside the box (14) and joint-second-bottom for big chances (two) across their previous quartet of encounters. It’s worth noting, however, that Everton chart joint-third for big chances (39) and joint-fourth-bottom for goals conceded in road ties (19), illuminating their decent away form.

  4. siweltrebor87

    10 years, 2 months ago

    36 from 9

    Pedro or Sanchez (if pedro is still missing against Liverpool)
    and Harry Kane

    plus 8 dgw's.

    If my maths is right I've had a 16 point swing and now sit 9 points behind the leader in mini league.

    My differentials are Payet (TC) Fabregas, Pedro, Defoe, Monreal and Smalling.

  5. Keno
    • 12 Years

    26 with Bellerin, Sanchez, Aguero, Kane to go still tomm.

    16 (-4) 6 left to play (Gomes,Deeney,Coutinho,Aguero,Bellerin & Sanchez) what a nightmare this DGW has turned out to be just pray Big Andy (TC) turns up for the last game at the Boleyn Ground

    1. siweltrebor87
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      nope. benched.

  10. john mensah
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    These chips need to be removed from the game but I fear they will keep them and add even more gimmicks next season.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah it'll only get worse.

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      They should remove Liverpool next season.

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Agree they ruined the game

    4. Monklane
      • 17 Years

      I hate them.

    5. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I'll let you know my view after I play my TC chip next week 😉

      1. Obi Wan Elokobi
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Sanchez?

        1. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Oh Yeah!

    6. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I quite liked them.

  11. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Think I'm going to pack this game in for the season.., well as soon as I pick next weeks team

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Think a few might join you after this weeks results going against everyone.

  12. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    FPL never included that Robles save that he tipped over the bar near the end

    Still on 5 😡 he definitely made 6 by my count

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      That's +1

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      it was off target

  13. Jøssy ⭐
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    What a disaster of a week!! Can't believe I lost two Leicester clean sheets at the death 😡

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      +1 it's sickening

  14. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Leicester had 33 attempts vs Everton, would settle for Sunderland and Defoe getting half of that midweek

    1. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Congrats Defoe triple captainers.

  15. Bazzalona
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Said it before and i'll say it again.
    People love payet but his scores don't always show that....low scores so often for me

    1. siweltrebor87
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      a slight change in tactics at West Ham and he would steal the headlines even more often.

      Lots of goals in that side, he's been quieter since Carroll is the target man again.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      his main source of pts are free kicks for a while now

      1. Bazzalona
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Agreed. Very good player but doesn't 'do it' often enough imo. Of course he plays my team next so he'll assist the assister half a dozen times

    3. Totally !rre!evant
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Payet is the sixth highest scoring midfielder, with less minutes to his name than most. What are you getting at here?

      1. Bazzalona
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Stating facts. whenever he's in my team more often than not he fails.
        No different to lukaku in that respect

  16. ManofKent

    Is this the DGW support group?

    🙁

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      nope

  17. siweltrebor87
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I'm happy I kept Kane over Aguero.

    rival doesn't have Aguero and i matched the differential.

    1. Live Lad
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      This. My rival sold Kun too like me but he has Martial. I kept Kane. Hopefully he will score tmw for 2nd place and golden boot.

  18. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Arsenal win and CS tomorrow will make me very happy... 😕

    1. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      They'd do well to keep a clean sheet.

  19. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I'll take that Mahrez bap to bank

  20. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I always hated Mirrallas.!!!

    When I had Kaku captain he wasn't passing to him!!!

    When I had Baines he took over cs from him!!!!

    When I brought him in (check transfer history) he injured himself in first 20-30 mins.

    He ruined my cs from the bench (bench boost played) in 90th minute!!

    Aaaaarhhhhhhhh, go away Mirralas!!

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 11 Years

      He's a beauty.

    1. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      yeah, it gets its share of complaints. all above board though

  24. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    35(-8) from 8 played
    PvA, Rose, Hazard, Willian, Lanzini, Payet, Aguero, Defoe(TC) and Martial/KDB left.

    Surely it's not all doom and gloom this GW?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      For you no it certainly is not

    2. Revival

        1. Dušan Citizen
          • 12 Years

          Could it be worse than today?

  27. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I look forward to Defoe (C) vs Everton. I really do.

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Same here. Triple for me

  28. Dušan Citizen

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Absolutely, out of the blue.

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

        Crazy how that one result can cause such a big impact on most people's weeks.

        Nobody saw that coming!

  30. Yankee Toffee
