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.

    if leicester have game won with 20mins to go, i'd imagine he'll get some game time for a few subs and standing ovations for?

    kante?
    vardy?
    mahrez?

    or will it be the usual albrighton and okazaki off?

    IM was hyping up Andy King this week and he really felt he'd be an excellent differential. 🙂

  5. FudgyBadger
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Who else always thinks about brining a player in, but doesn't do it, then that player gets a load of points?

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

      Everyone on here. Ever.

    2. KingNidge

      Quite a lot but tend to keep it to myself as it gives the impression you are all fart and no poo

    3. Numb
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Trouble is I think of bringing in lots of players. Chances are one of them is going to do something

      1. FudgyBadger
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah that's probably it

  6. FudgyBadger
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Where's there the guy that did Morgan > Cresswell (-4) ?

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I'd imagine that was a popular enough transfer this week.

      1. FudgyBadger
        10 years, 6 months ago

        I would have done it if I didn't have Lanzini ... yikes

    2. Jazz!
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Do I count?

      Simpson > Cresswell (-4)

      1. FudgyBadger
        10 years, 6 months ago

        ouch 🙁

        1. Jazz!
          10 years, 6 months ago

          🙁

          1. HamezMace
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Don't worry just yet, WHU still have another home game and cresswell is basically a left winger

  7. Bøwstring The Carp
    10 years, 6 months ago

    C'mon Mahrez, punish the sellers 😕 really getting off easy here

  8. Evs
    • Has Moderation Rights

    Okazaki has only played the full 90mins 3 times (I think) this season, but started over 90% of their games !

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      10 years, 6 months ago

      He really has loved every minute of it.

  9. Optimus.

    10 years, 6 months ago

    How much do you think Stones and barkley have fallen in value since xmas?

    1. Will's Faceless
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Probably not that far, martinez will take the blame. Everton likely going to cash in on stones in the summer. 30m to citeh.

  15. RoysCallerAnne

    Anyone else sick of that Jamie Vardy having a party chant.

    Garden Gnomes can't have parties as they are inanimate.

  16. KOLASINA(C)
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Question: who will be next season's Mahrez? Cheap mid who will finish in the best XI of FPL?

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

      Ritchie

      1. Jay Jay Okocha
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Right team, wrong man. Gradel is my pick

    2. Danstoke82
      10 years, 6 months ago

      The return of George Boyd.

    3. Eden Azzzar
      10 years, 6 months ago

      They don't play in the premier yet

    Hoping Everton score, doesn't look likely

  18. Bøwstring The Carp
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Good man Schmeichel

  19. Jay_

    Just got home and was excited to check how my triple west ham went (cresswell, lanzini and payet). 8 points including TC. What happened ? 1-4 ?

    1. FudgyBadger
      10 years, 6 months ago

      its an error. scoreline was 4-1 to west ham

      1. drughi
        10 years, 6 months ago

        West ham fighting for cl spot, home to a bum swansea team. Makes no sense

        1. siweltrebor87
          10 years, 6 months ago

          West Ham shocking result, next game is last at their stadium and United will defo be feeling confident they can get the result they want. Today was perfect LVG, single goal, possession, clean sheet.

          I must thank the person who gave me a tip about United which pushed me to commit to triple United, might and i say that very tenatively, be perfect to have against West Ham and then Bournemouth on the final day.

  22. FudgyBadger
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Everton looking very very likely to score. Great news for some!

    1. Bubz
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Very very likely? Lol.

  23. Danstoke82
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Please Everton do something! I can't bear a Fuchs CS + BAP

  24. Bøwstring The Carp
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Hope Amartey comes on for Simpson and locks that CS in nice and early

  25. Jay_
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Robles saves Fuchs shot

  26. VS10_

    Fuchs, are you kidding meee

  27. The Algerian Dream
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Fuchs close!

  28. Jazz!
    10 years, 6 months ago

    If he scored that I would've cried.

  29. siweltrebor87
    10 years, 6 months ago

    United to steal fourth from City would make up for not winning the mini league if i do happen to throw it away

  30. Duke Silver ☑
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Mahrez the Algerian Messi with the nutmeg.
