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.

      Never understood this, surely for the 4/5 people who backed Leicester with £5 there are thousands who backed the usual top 6 with £100-500?

    Defoe not given any bonus pts? Winning goal!!

    1. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 6 months ago

      FPL would rather give it to a defender who got an assist and didn't take his shirt off. The system is biased towards defenders.

      10 years, 6 months ago

      0 baps . He got booked which never helps

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        10 years, 6 months ago

        He finished on 27 . Azpi got 34 , Matic and Borini got 32 . I am not sure how many points he lost for the celebration/yellow . He won't get bonus points now regardless of winning goal
