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.

      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Stones-Williams(+0.1)
      Jaku-Pickford(0)
      Foster-Heaton(+0.1)

    How nailed on is Brunt? Is he worth the extra 0.4 compared to Evans or 0.2 to McAuley?

    I have the exact funds to make Walcott -> Hazard and Smith -> Brunt.

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I think McAuley is better

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

      Brunt playing as an attacking mid and takes corners from both sides. Well worth it IMO

  6. MrMaverick

            9 years, 5 months ago

            Allan got the points today. rarely gets them otherwise. Average pick at best IMO

                9 years, 5 months ago

                *Lallana

        3. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          True - but their defenders are cheap and they will keep enough clean sheets at their price to make them value. Lets you spend on Hazard, Costa, Lukaku, Coutinho etc.

        I'd love a Toby A price drop during the intl break! What players would you like to have a price drop?

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

          kdb/hazard but it seems unlikely at all

            • 10 Years

            Ok change of question; realistic price drops without needing an intl injury etc!

      4. S.Kuqi

        Nothing to see here anymore. See ya in two weeks.

      5. Donblaster
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        anyone worse than 1 clean sheet out of last 20 games for their defenders?

      6. Bleach †
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Would you start Koscielny vs ManUtd away?

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

          I'd sell him

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

            I would sell any high price defender. It is a gamble now, you cant support anything about clean sheets by the number this season.

          2. Bleach †
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Need to get rid of Holebas first

        2. Sailboats
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          yes

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

          Perhaps a header like van der Horn against Utd

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

          yes, that's what you get premium defenders for, you can play them in big games hoping they score from a set-piece, plus there always a chance of a cleanie

      8. JIM BOB

        9 years, 5 months ago

        Best punt for a draft league until Xmas?

        A) Rooney
        B) Slimani

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

          Slim. Fixtures

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Getting in Fuchs over Alonso is one of the killer decisions I just can't get right.

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

          Same but I'll be honest. I was only thinking of fixtures so I went with Leicester defence...

          Clearly regret that now.

          1. Granville
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years

            Disastrous gameweek

      10. lasmons
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Heaton
        Holebas* - Smith* - Lovren
        Sanchez - Firmino - Couthino - Allen
        Kun - Benteke - Ibra*

        Robinson - Evans - Carrick - Amat

        Would you do
        Ibra + Sanchez + Smith -> Costa + Hazard + Alonso for -4?
        Need to do it now because all three will raise in price before next gw.

        1. AndyCook
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Nah keep Sanchez get rid of Allen

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

              Ok. What about Allen+Ibra -> Hazard+Vokes?

        2. Elijah's Wood
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I have the exact money to do Walcott > Coutinho, is it worth doing it now before being priced out?

          Hoping to have this front 7 after the break:

          Sanchez Firmino Coutinho Hazard Allen
          Aguero Austin

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

            I have that + Defoe

            1. Elijah's Wood
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Worth it then? Walcott vs Coutinho, double Pool vs double Ars

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

                Did you see the games? Definitely-also look at Liv fixtures.

                1. Elijah's Wood
                  • 11 Years
                  9 years, 5 months ago

                  Aye, its getting difficult to enjoy watching Pool when you dont own their key player lol

          2. AndyCook
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Yes, I have that except Redmond instead of Allen and pretty happy

              1. Elijah's Wood
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                Just trying to remember if there were comments about both Firmino and Coutinho being called up for Brazil and potentially missing GW12?

          3. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Double Chelsea appears the only worthy defence this season. Money only appears wasted in defence thus far.

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

              Disagree. Spurs have 5 clean sheets so far, Arsenal have 4 and only lost last 2 cleanies to penaltys

              1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                Wouldn't go near Spurs due to relentless tinkering for champs league. Sold bellerin this week to afford hazard - happy with that

          4. ryacoo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Prioritise Hazard or Coutinho in?

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

              Coutinho seems more consistent recently and so is Hazard

              Coutinho if based on points per price

          5. Chicxulub
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Cameron, Holebas, Lovren, Smith and Lenihan.

            Anyone worse?

          6. AndyCook
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Is Alonso or Azpi worth bringing in for Walker as a season keeper? Or will it more or less even out do we think?

              1. EDEN THE MAN
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                YES::::::::::::::::::::::::::::ALonso

              • 11 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Premium defenders are really overrated this season.

                  |And this fac hurts even more when you played with Zieler and McAuley

              • Scotty B
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                Considering who to get in for Zlatan.

                Could Kane be a good differential?

              • Bleach †
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                When Arsenals fixtures get better, would you rather have Alexis or Özil. Özil meaning I could bring in Hazard

                1. Hurricane Gilbert
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 5 months ago

                  Özil great cover

                9 years, 5 months ago

                Gus, what would u suggest?

                Pickford
                Walker / Coleman / Holebas
                Sanchez / Walcott / Firmino / Coutinho
                Aguero / Lukaku / Austin
                (Grant / Fletcher / Amat / Robertson)

                A) Robertson -> 4.5m def
                B) Walcott & Austin -> Hazard & Anichebe (-4)
                C) any other suggestion

                1. AndyCook
                    9 years, 5 months ago

                    B, your team value must be massive
