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.

  16. siweltrebor87
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 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.

  17. Keno
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    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
      9 years, 7 months ago

      nope. benched.

  22. john mensah

    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
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah it'll only get worse.

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      They should remove Liverpool next season.

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Agree they ruined the game

    4. Monklane
      • 16 Years

      I hate them.

    5. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

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

      1. Obi Wan Elokobi
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Sanchez?

        1. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Oh Yeah!

    6. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I quite liked them.

  23. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 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
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      That's +1

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      it was off target

  24. Bazzalona
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 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
      9 years, 7 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 ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

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

      1. Bazzalona
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 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
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 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
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

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

  25. ManofKent

    Is this the DGW support group?

    🙁

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      nope

  26. siweltrebor87
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I'm happy I kept Kane over Aguero.

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

    1. Live Lad
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 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.

  27. Bøwstring The Carp

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