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.

    Mahrez has got the assist ?

    1. Numb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Apparently

    2. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      No. Guy at the top of a page asked as a question.

    Brother has triple Leicester and used bench boost this week, Defoe and PVA on the bench. Hate how he always gets these decisions spot-on.

    1. Numb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      That's how bench boost works

      1. Numb
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I mean, it doesn't matter who's on his bench, it's arbitrary

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

      ok well he has got a decent 15 players this week anyway

  3. Jazz!

    Anyone care to predict Chelsea v Leicester next week?

    1. cyclopropane
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      8-4 Leicester

      1. Fred54
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        You joke, but there have some utterly crazy scores at the Bridge on the final day.

        1. Whats the Huth
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          I remember Chelsea smashing wigan 🙁

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      2-3

    3. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Will get Vardy in most likely, goals for Leicester.

    4. Meinhoff
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      4-4

    5. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      2-2

      Both teams scoring well, nothing to play for game

    6. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      The Tinkerman will want a win against his old club

    7. Manilaman
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Easy Leicester win

  4. St. Joseph
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Any News on Martial??
    Is his injury serious??
    Trippling him and hoping he doesn't play next match.

    So my vice will take it all

    What a Bad Luck !!!

    1. Numb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Precautionary according to LVG

      1. St. Joseph
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Ohh come on please

        now im hoping he can't make it

  5. HamezMace
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    What are Martial owners doing, surely between the hamstring injury and FA cup final he won't play GW38?

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Selling him for Defoe for the midweek game.

      Well the thick ones are anyway.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Depends if a win = 4th

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Surely any hamstring injury is two weeks minimum?

        1. Fred54
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          May not have been a tear, just tight.

    3. Numb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Not necessarily. Depends if top four is possible by then

    4. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Cheers guys, I guess we'll have news before the midweek game anyway

  6. Sif
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    When everyone owns Mahrez he does stuff, when he's a differential he keeps quiet :s

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

      I just hope he lasts till 60th min, i want those 3 pts

  7. Jazz!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    What do we think of Fabregas as an asset next GW?

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Rather have Hazard.

      1. Jazz!
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        😆

  8. RoysCallerAnne

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

    5. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, this season has been so unpredictable

    6. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Could be, worst ever rank is 41k 5 seasons ago. My 10 points (-8) today won't help my 50k rank

    7. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
      • 11 Years

      Nope 😎

        1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!

    8. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

    9. Numb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Worst since my debut

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I'm worse off than my 1st ever season.
        I didn't even know price changes happened until march when i joined FFS

  9. Hypnos
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    1. John t penguin
      • 11 Years

      1. Hypnos

    • 11 Years

    Having Boruc this week is possibly the best thing thats happened to me all season.

  11. John t penguin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Leicester have never lost a game when one of the four tenors sings before a game.
    Note for next year, check if Pavarotti is about before a game

    1. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'll put a tenor on a Leicester victory in that case

  12. Pat Bonner

    • 14 Years

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Substitution, Sunderland. John O'Shea replaces Lamine Koné because of an injury.

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers! Should've gone pva in hindsight

  13. Jazz!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Firmino > Mané definitely a transfer next week for me.

    1. Numb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      1. Jazz!
        • 10 Years

    2. Pat Bonner

    3. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Couthino ➡ Mane for me

      1. Jazz!
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        🙂

    4. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Same but Coutinho out Jazz 🙂 They won't feature.

      1. Jazz!
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yep.

    5. Essan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      the clever people already have Mane 😀

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

    So Sunderland only need to beat this Everton side to survive midweek then

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yep, couldn't ask for a better fixture

  15. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years

  16. FudgyBadger
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Everton will score this half. They've come out looking immense, just like the Everton we know and love!

    1. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Please. Rival has Fuchs.

    2. Numb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Don't think so

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

      hoping so, I benched Simpson

  17. Duke Silver ☑
    • 10 Years

    😆 Schmeichel epic save.

  18. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Leicester are really toying with Everton now

  19. the axolotl
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    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?

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Poor Okazaki, never gets to finish a game 😆

      1. the axolotl
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        poor old shinji

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Doubt Vardy will be subbed.

    3. Live Lad
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I think not.

  20. Jazz!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

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

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Same here with Dwight Gale. I kinda forgot to post about it though

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

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

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

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

      1. FudgyBadger
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

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

    2. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Do I count?

      Simpson > Cresswell (-4)

      1. FudgyBadger
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        ouch 🙁

        1. Jazz!

            • 11 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

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

  24. Optimus.
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Fuchs with the conversion

    1. Will's Faceless
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 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.

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