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.

    As soon as WBA scored you just knew they'd concede too. Ugh.

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      yeah

  7. Lyonnais

    Evans fail. 43 points 🙁

  8. Sjaugen

    Chelsea with the only CS this round. wow

  9. JayBomb

    Not 1 WBA marking Slimani in the box

  10. BrockLanders

    What I'd pay for a Brunt goal

  11. Too Mane Men
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Chris Brunt £4.9 already transferred in

    Brunt classifed as a defender, taking both corners, playing as roaming midfielder and getting up the pitch often.

      Not on today's corners.

      1. Sjaugen
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        He's taken at least one tonight

        1. Differentiator
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Think it's Phillips who took the last 2 corners/free kicks. Will he shift out to the bench when Chadli is back?

      2. Too Mane Men
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I'm watching the game and have seen him take a corner from both sides.

    Anyone else think that Chelsea might actually struggle to score vs Boro away and the vs Spurs, also not an easy opponent? Or am I just trying to convince myself not to get Hazard?

    1. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm thinking the same thing but the price rise is testing me.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Could struggle away to Boro then again thought they would struggle at Southampton too. I would just get Hazard in based on form any not worry about the fixtures

    3. seaside
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      same thinking but price rises make it impoosible to afford at later stages..

    4. devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      They'll score at least 3 against MID imo after watching the City game.

      Spurs could be tougher to predict. I think their last meeting ended 2-2 from memory but not 100% sure so don't quote me on that.

  13. southernpacific
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I give up

  14. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I blame Foster for committing that low class error

  15. MrMaverick

    WBA CS gone heals my Morgan wound

    1. worldchampion
      • 9 Years

      As if Leicester could keep clean sheet shame on you "mrmaverick"

  16. JayBomb
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    McAuley will score a header yet

  17. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    So is 80(-4) with Evans playing any good? 🙁 This is going to be a long week 🙁

    1. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Is this a joke?

    2. Jay_

        😀

      • Sylas
        • 10 Years

        Same ol' Chucky!

      • Kroosin'
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        The average score is around 92.37. That's pretty bad man.

    3. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Pulis is overrated.

      1. Long Juan Silva
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I'm sure he got way more CS at Palace?

    4. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      What's the current average around here - must be 175 I reckon?

      1. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, anyone who's scored 80 or less is going to see red arrows.

    5. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      1 cleansheet in the whole gameweek

    6. Jay_

        Shows the importance of getting Chelsea D

        1. Slam
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah

        2. makaveli123
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Thought it said "the importance of getting the D" at first.

          1. Sjaugen
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            The Chelsea* D 😉

        3. Ziro

          THey'll start conceding the 1 goal each game.

      • Mark-O
        • 10 Years

        If not for Koscielny conceding the penalty Arsenal would have a clean sheet!

        No clean sheet for you! NEXT!? *cue Seinfeld theme

      • Litts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Current team:

        Foster/Heaton
        Evans Shawcross Francis Naughton Parades(not dropping @4.0)
        Sanchez Walcott Lallana Coutinho Allen
        Lukaku Aguero Austin

        I want to get Hazard in (and was going to get rid of Lallana and Walcott until today) with McArthur.

        However, after Liverpool and Lallana's performance today, I'm thinking of doing Sanchez to Ozil and Walcott to Hazard.

        Sensible or are there better options?

        1. Mark-O
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Sanchez over Ozil imo

          Change Lukaku to Costa

          1. Litts
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            I can't afford Lukaku to Costa. Costa is .8 more for me

        After asking the question throughout the day, the most popular mids are:

        1)Haz
        2)KDB
        3)Sanchez
        4)Coutinho
        5)Firmino
        6)Mane
        7)Payet

          Quality:

          Hazard - Coutinho - De Bruyne - Walcott - Allen
          Costa - Lukaku - Austin

        2. Worzel Gummidge
            9 years, 5 months ago

            I could have told you that. Oh wait I did 🙂 KDB odd one out in that top 4 IMO. Pep rotation is annoying so might as well punt on Gun who plays in the attacking 4.
