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.

    Carrick only 4.3 and playing in defence now

    Amat > Carrick?

      Good move if they allow it

    4. faver

    So...
    Stupid me. AOA wasted this week and now forced to take a hit to field 3 at the back.
    Smith+Sanch -> Alonso+Haz looks likeliest.

  5. Jay_

      Foster save number 2 (Yes, it's desperation time)

      1. jurgenklopp.8
        • 10 Years

        does that count as 3??

        1. Jay_
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Nope

            1. jurgenklopp.8

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

          My defense is
          Kos Walker* Lovren* Amat* Smith*
          I just have Diomande so AOA not an option.
          First thinking was getting Hazard for Sterling and downgrade other. What would you do?
          A) Sterling+Walker to Hazard and Kingsley(max 4.2 this way)
          B) Forget Hazard for now but sort out defsense, Walker to Alonso to start with.
          C) Wait few days at least even though price rises

        3. Rolls-Royce

            9 years, 5 months ago

            yeah can't have em all, the smooth part is getting the timing right of when to bring in a player before a hot streak and selling a form player before a poor run.

          Pointless transfer but who is the safest playing £4.5m forward?

          A) Anichibi
          B) Keane
          C) Barnes

          So not one team that played in the Champions League this week has got a result this weekend

          Big advantage for Chelsea & Liverpool getting that weeks rest between games

          Crikey. What a week of footy.

          Aguero and Sanchez starting to look very over priced.

          1. Worzel Gummidge
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Agreed. Sell sell sell

            • fedolefan
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Think Sanchez is over priced since he's not that reliable as a captain choice. Paying premium for a guaranteed captain choice is acceptable.

            • tm245
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Gameweek 10
              Aguero 16
              Sanchez 13

              Can we really demand they do that every week just because of price?

          2. tm245
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            These two teams are top of the defensive ticker for the next five gameweeks. Playing the fixtures isn't going to solve the defensive crisis then...

            Fletcher injured?

          4. ANON.
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Done Ibra + Sterling to Austin + Hazard with 2 frees. Anything worth a hit? Redmond or Walcott to Firmino maybe?

            0ft 2.9 in the bank

            Heaton, Pickford
            VVD, Williams, Holebas, Evans, Amat
            Hazard, Mane, Walcott, Redmond, Fletcher
            Aguero, Lukaku, Austin

          5. Lecky Legs FC
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Already own Mane & Coutinho and I'm considering tripling up on Liverpool mids and bring in Can > Capoue looked great recently.

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

              Think Can will be under threat from Wijnaldum

              1. Dr Van Nostrand
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                Possibly but Can's played every minute since his return from injury

              2. Lecky Legs FC
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                He will but Gini is not Klopp's first choice when it comes to that position £4.8 is great price for a 5th mid.

            2. Dr Van Nostrand
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Me too Klopp loves Can and he's getting forward loads now with Hendo in the hole

            Question guys, can Hazard go up 0.6m in the IW or is it still 0.3?

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

              Max of 0.3

            2. Dr Dream
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              0.3

            3. fedolefan
              • 11 Years

              Aah, thanks. He's already gone up 0.1m then.

            • 15 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Should I lose Sanchez or Walcott for Hazard? If Walcott I need to take a hit to raise funds.

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

              Thinking this

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

            Hazard seems to have problems away (Boro and City). Also London derby with Spurs at Stamford.
            Consider it

            1. Stats Don\'t Lie
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              I have, even more reason to bring him in.

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

                Boro lost 12 goals in 11 games. City lost only 1 per game at all their home games. Spurs lost 6 goals in 11 games. I just want to say maybe we should wait with Hazard?

              • 16 Years

              Consider it considered.

              Yes let's ignore soton (latest away game. 14 points ) to match our own agenda shall we?

              But I don't think that Chelsea will make it six in a row.
