A busy Sunday comes to its conclusion as Leicester City host West Bromwich Albion at the King Power.

The Foxes are seeking a fourth clean sheet in six at the King Power this time around but will need to do so without the services of Kasper Schmeichel, who is ruled out with a fractured hand.

Both Robert Huth and Danny Simpson walk the Suspension Tightrope for this one, though many will be taking the chance to scout Christian Fuchs as the schedules smiles kindly on the Foxes.

With Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy devoid of form, Islam Slimani – with 20 points in three home fixtures – and Ahmed Musa, who has scored in each of the last two, have the chance to stake a claim as differentials to consider up top. Vardy’s 9% owners are left further frustrated by Claudio Ranieri’s decison to drop him to the bench today.

West Brom, meanwhile, are devoid of talisman Nacer Chadli, who underwent minor knee surgery last week. Given that the Belgian has played a part in 75% of his side’s goals since arriving from Spurs, another shut-out could be on the cards for the champions.

    Need some help guys. Reposting this.

    My defence this week –

    Shaw(0) – McAuley(2) – Lovren(0) – Holebas(-2) – Amat(0) .

    What to do ?

    a) Wally > Hazard for now and then wait on the defence till GW 13?

    b) Shaw -> Azpi/Alonso

    c) Shaw , Firmino -> Haz,Azpi for a hit.

        Mane

      No

    Saved by the Scouse Brazilians this week. Sounds wrong.

    Grant
    Mustafi Morgan Nyom
    Sanchez Coutinho Firmino Gundogan
    Kun Austin Lukaku

    Pickford Amat Holebas Ledley

    What would you do? Looking at Hazard in. 2.7m 1ft

    1. il Brutto
      10 years, 1 day ago

      How much would you need to find to get him in for Gundogan?

      1. MikeDuff
        10 years, 1 day ago

        1.7 if I can get him for 10.0

  4. Odikostar
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Nyom and Aguero
    or
    Kosc and Costa
    I do really fancy nyom tbf, with Burnely(H), Hull(A), Watford(H) and Swansea(H) in his next five.

    1. MikeDuff
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Top 2 100%

    2. MTPockets
      10 years, 1 day ago

      If you fancy Nyom and paired with Aguero...

    3. My Name Is Prince
      10 years, 1 day ago

      is he nailed?

      1. Ephurion
        10 years, 1 day ago

        He has been since he came over.
        He's basically a 4.3 nailed on defender on a Tony Pulis team

      Haha nice green arrow

    3. Manchester 17

      I moved down about 800 places

      That's the greyest green ever. Sort of like a pale Khaki

    5. tm245

      So close to the mythical grey arrow.

    WC this lot?

    Forster Jaku
    Kos Vert Clyne Amat McAuley
    Firm Sanchez Gund Allen Hojbjerg
    Kun Luk Musa

    for this lot?

    Pick Grant
    Alonso Clyne Pieters Evans Amat
    Firm Theo Cout Allen Hazard
    Kun Luk Mbokani/Anichebe

    1. Jar Jar Winks
      10 years, 1 day ago

      thats the mf i wanna wc to

    2. Sweetboi
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Clyne? Liverpool can't defend, would get rid personally.

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      10 years, 1 day ago

      I wouldn't get a liverpool defender.
      But it looks OK. You could also get rid of kun in a few weeks and upgrade allen and one of your goalkeepers/defenders.
      That is what I am considering myself.

    4. Jay_
      10 years, 1 day ago

      If I had a WC now and didn't go have Costa, I'd double up with Alonso and Azpi. Forget Clyne, terrible waste of money. Nice team other than Clyne, if he could become Azpi and swap Amat for Kingsley (both bad but Kinsgley played today) then that'd be great

    5. MikeDuff
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Nahhh not a bad side that I'd save it for now.

      You probably want Hazard Walcott Austin/Wilson for Sanchez Gund/Allen Musa over the next couple of weeks but not bad at all

  8. white lightning
    10 years, 1 day ago

    I've been through all the options with my team so I'll probably do this for a -4 hit:
    Sanchez & Smith out - Hazard & Alonso in

    Will give me:
    Foster
    Alonso, Fuchs, Pieters
    Hazard, Coutinho, Firmino, Allen
    Aguero, Costa, Lukaku

    Jaku, Capoue, Amat, Holebas

    I can see these transfers happening within the next couple of days. I can easily get Sanchez back by downgrading Lukaku if need be. Thoughts & thanks.

    1. Sweetboi
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Team looks good tbf, transfers make a lot of sense with Smith out.

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Do it

    3. MTPockets
      10 years, 1 day ago

      I wouldn't do that for -4 if already have Costa.

      1. white lightning
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Thanks mate. Costa & Hazard are the 2 highest scorers in fpl so I'm going all out. I need the Sanchez downgrade to get Alonso as well & with the form Chelsea are in I feel the triple up is worth it. Chelsea & Liverpool attacking assets are the ones to get so I'm glad I'll have 4 of them.

  9. Sweetboi
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Pick one please lads:

    a) Williams > Alonso

    b) Lallana > Coutinho

    c) Williams + Lallana > Pieters + Hazard (-4)

    d) Save

    Cheers

    1. Declan
      10 years, 1 day ago

      A

    2. Karan_G14
      10 years, 1 day ago

      A

    3. Dasher0303
      10 years, 1 day ago

      C but with Nyom/Evans instead of pieters

      1. Sweetboi
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Interesting, will consider.

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 day ago

      A

    5. Sweetboi
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Cheers all.

  10. Karan_G14
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Choose:

    A) Sanchez to Hazard

    B) Siggy & Wilson to Hazard & Anichebe

    B let's see me monitor Sanchez for a couple weeks. Is it really time to sell him?

    appreciate your thoughts!

    1. Sweetboi
      10 years, 1 day ago

      B because it means keeping Sanchez.

    2. Patty
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Does b mean you have to start Anichebe?

      1. Karan_G14
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Nope. Redmond is my 7th attacker. But I actually might start Anichebe over Coutinho if he's likely to be rested.

  11. Dasher0303
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Lallana and Walcott to Hazard and Matic/Allen(which one?)

    Or

    Smith and Sanchez to Hazard and Alonso

    Got Firmino as well but no Chelsea.

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 day ago

      B

    2. Sweetboi
      10 years, 1 day ago

      B

      1. Dasher0303
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Don't fancy Sanchez? Lallana only does well in home games like mane

        1. Sweetboi
          10 years, 1 day ago

          Scratch that, the first one with Allen. Sanchez more important.

  12. Dan United
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Which one to take out:

    Stones
    Morgan

    Need to free up 0.5 to get Hazard in

    1. Dasher0303
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Stones

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Stones

    3. Dan United
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Thanks both

  13. Too Mane Men
    10 years, 1 day ago

    20k players already ditched Lukaku with Swansea (H) next up...

    1. Sweetboi
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Suicide, Lukaku's been amazing since his comeback.

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      10 years, 1 day ago

      I think he is a better captain choice then Kun for the following gw.

    3. Captain Blanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Good fixture, been awful recently though

      1. Captain Blanks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Had tough fixtures though tbf

      2. My Name Is Prince
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Lukaku awful? Go to FPL and to the player selection, view Forwards sorted by Form....

        1. My Name Is Prince
          10 years, 1 day ago

          Costa 6.8m
          Lukaku 6.8m

          1. My Name Is Prince
            10 years, 1 day ago

            I don't know where the "m" came from 😀

        2. Captain Blanks
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 1 day ago

          Awful was maybe too strong, but his underlying stats haven't been great last few weeks (albeit with difficult fixtures)

    4. KingNidge
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Lovely

  14. Jay_
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Will Griggs on fire tune is being sang out the Seville-Barca game 😀

  15. tm245
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Roll on GW12

    Pickford
    Alonso Coleman Clyne
    Sanchez Hazard Coutinho Frimino Bolasie
    Aguero Austin

    0FT, 0.3m itb

    Let's just ignore the bench...

    1. Dasher0303
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Great team besides bolasie, Coleman, Clyne. Keep bolasie for Swansea but I'd say get rid of Coleman/Clyne to Fuchs/VVD/Morgan

      1. tm245
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Cheers, with internationals it'll be all hands on deck to get a full side. Coleman, Clyne and Bolasie will be gone in two weeks for two uber defs and Mane, I hope.

    2. Karan_G14
      10 years, 1 day ago

      I'd be finding that 0.3 to upstage Bolasie to Chadli in GW13.

      1. Karan_G14
        10 years, 1 day ago

        upgrade**

      2. tm245
        10 years, 1 day ago

        That is a good shout, too.

  16. il Brutto
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Do we think that Aguero will feature against Palace?

    1. jurgenklopp.8
      10 years, 1 day ago

      sub i think

      1. il Brutto
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Yeah that looks likely.

  17. Jay_
    10 years, 1 day ago

    If Anichibe is fit, does he start the HUL game? Any reason why he suddenly came into the first XI? Can he suddenly drop out as fast as he came in?

    1. Jay_
      10 years, 1 day ago

      3 questions on Anichibe, am I playing this game wrong? 😀

      1. tm245
        10 years, 1 day ago

        If Keane is badly hurt and my SA contigent come back late from internationals, might get him in for a -4.

        1. Jay_
          10 years, 1 day ago

          Keane is bad, just read he and Hernandez out for "some time" "Keane is the worse of the two"

          1. Jay_
            10 years, 1 day ago

            Keep an eye on prices if like me you have 0.0. Going in different directions quite quick, Anichibe will rise because low ownership and enabler to 3-5-2 Hazard wagons

    2. jurgenklopp.8
      10 years, 1 day ago

      I think he starts next few games, but could be out again after a few weeks. I have him as non-playing striker though!

      1. Jay_
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Hope so 🙂

  18. jurgenklopp.8
    10 years, 1 day ago

    squad value has taken a hit from selling lukaku, but it had to be done, it was him or sanchez...

    1. Odikostar
      10 years, 1 day ago

      You did the right thing

      1. jurgenklopp.8
        10 years, 1 day ago

        you have done the same?

      2. My Name Is Prince
        10 years, 1 day ago

        The best in-form striker in the game, heading towards Swansea next...

  19. tm245
    10 years, 1 day ago

    There is a new post.

    1. Odikostar
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Thank you for the information.

  20. Bleach †
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Hazard on 60%, won't rise tonight?

    1. My Name Is Prince
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Probably not....

  21. seaside
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Foster Grant
    Williams Lovren Holebas A.Smith Amat
    Coutinho Firmino Hazard Walcott Fletcher
    Aguero Lukaku Austin

    1.6 ITB but no FT. I was going to upgrade Williams to Alonso, but not for a hit, right? I will lose out on the 0.2 rise that will probably happen until next GW, but not worth 4 points, right? Otherwise good to go?

    only 2 playing defenders next GW, because Holebas and Smith are both suspended. So I will use AOA next GW.

    1. MikeDuff
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Nah Williams v Swansea screams last minute winner

  22. arndff
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Will Theo Walcott be in great form anytime soon? What do you think?

    1. MikeDuff
      10 years, 1 day ago

      I'd watch him against Man U. Probably wouldn't get him in for that game

  23. Deicide
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Alexis to Hazard?
