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.

    4.3m for defenders is a waste land. Is Nyom or VanDerHorn more secure?

      Martin Tyler said Nyom was good today. And Pulis should be happy with the win too ... and albion has great fixtures .... aaaannnddd its burnley at home next gameweek.

      Cheers, both. I have a 0.1m cushion on Amat so I can afford to wait.

      If Flanagan retains his place at Burnley, he's 4.3

  2. ♤TeddyBear♤
    • 11 Years

    Am I mad to be considering Brunt?

    Lethal left peg and at 4.9 with decent fixtures. Out of position....

      He's a folk legend on here!

      Good option

    IBRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I started sympathising with his owners to an extent that I wanted him to score

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Me too. Must have been hard seeing him basically blank in 9 consecutive games part from 2 5 pointers whilst all other strikers were bringing home the bacon. 2 goals and then suspended. I am glad he got suspended as the delusional owners would have kept!!

        1. Sims
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Not to mention the price falls

        2. ANDER.
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          I am glad he got suspended so we don't have Ibra bandwagons now. That would be purely crazy 😀

          Your tears are so salty

          1. Worzel Gummidge
            9 years, 10 months ago

            I am salty as you own Ibra? LOL.

            1. Somalion
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 10 months ago

              Added a lol at the end = super salty

              1. Worzel Gummidge
                9 years, 10 months ago

                Agreed. I am salty as you have had 1 return in 10 games. Super Salty. Delusion lies deep within this one.

                1. Somalion
                  • 16 Years
                  9 years, 10 months ago

                  Did you come ready salted or was it added later? So delicious.

                    Mate just stop it we feel for you ibra owners already don't make us patronise u now

                    Don't bother about Captain Caveman. He is fixed in his views and will annoy you with them

                    1. Worzel Gummidge
                      9 years, 10 months ago

                      Another useless Ibra owner. Deary me. Must have been loving his point recently after nothing for 9 games but sugar coat whatever you want. Crap pick

                      1. Somalion
                        • 16 Years
                        9 years, 10 months ago

                        9 games? 5 games without returns. Salt in your eyes?

                      2. Worzel Gummidge
                        9 years, 10 months ago

                        I am sorry but you sound an absolute moron. Last 9 games he has SIX games without returns so at least get your facts correct. If you want to count 2 5 pointers as decent returns then fine I will give you that out of desperation as you clearly need it. This salty chat is also very embarrassing. Got any new playground chat? I will admit I am salty. Gutted I had him instead of Costs, Aguero and whatever 3rd forward was scoring me points. You win.

                      3. Worzel Gummidge
                        9 years, 10 months ago

  4. GS456
    • 10 Years

    No idea how to get Hazard into here

    Heaton

    Bellerin, Walker, Evans, Peiters, Amat

    Sanchez, Firmino, Coutinho, Gundogan, Allen

    Aguero, Costa, Austin.

    Do i really need him??

    Want my 2 liverpool mids for sunderland at home in GW13

    1. ShaunGoater123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Very similar dilemma to me. I'm struggling to find the answer!

    2. *sigh*
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I had to get rid of Bellerin and downgrade fifth mid to Boro 4.3

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Have you got double Liverpool and Sanchez on midfield aswell? Impressive work if so!

        1. GS456
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah!

    3. Jacket Potato
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I have a really similar team, thinking Sanchez is the only way, after todays returns from Liverpool can't bring my self to get rid of one of them.

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

    Holebas to brunt for free

    Or amat to nyom

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Brunt.

    2. dcarlito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Brunt.

  6. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Is this crazy?

    Lukaku, bellerin & capoue > gray, stones, hazard

    Team would then be:

    Heaton / Pickford

    Stones, Evans, Daniels, Amat, lovren

    Hazard, Moses, Sanchez, firmino, coutinho

    Aguero, Austin, gray

    Struggling to see how else to get hazard....

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yes, considering gray isn't nailed

      1. Pooodle
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Ditch one of Firmino or Coutinho to a cheap 5th mid?

        1. ShaunGoater123
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah that's the easiest way but just not sure if I can do that after today!

          1. Pooodle
            • 17 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            Bellerin to a super cheap def, Capoue to 4.3 mid and Moses out get you anywhere close?

            1. ShaunGoater123
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 10 months ago

              Unfortunately not. Would have 3m left for a defender.

    2. Our Tiny Windows
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Doesn't sit well. Who would you bench?

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Would have to bench either Moses or gray each week until I moved Moses on for a cheaper 5th mid

  7. Bleach †

    Is Kingsley rising tonight? Has been 98ish% for few days now imo

    1. Sims

  8. Pooodle
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Who is best as a 4th mid so I can get Hazard in?

    A) Allen

    B) Gundogan

    C) Snodgrass

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Snoddy

    2. ANDER.
      • 12 Years

      Snodgrass

    3. FPL Virgin

      How quickly things change on here. Wow.

      B for me.

      1. Pooodle
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I know, tempted for the fixtures with Allen but Snodgrass probably has a better upside

  9. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Can't find the £££ for Coutinho. Can Lallana fill in for him?

    1. ANDER.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      No

    2. Worzel Gummidge
      9 years, 10 months ago

      No

    3. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years

      Hmmm not for me. Look elsewhere?

      1. Pooodle
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I have both and ditching Lallana this week for Hazard

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

      If it's your 2nd Liverpool mid and you already have Firmino/Mane, possibly an option.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah, I already have Firmino.

  10. Kermit Special
    • 9 Years

    In two weeks, will I have 2 transfers?

    1. Jazz!

    2. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years

      Yeah if you didnt do one last week

      1. Kermit Special
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I did, so after internationals I will have 1 then?

        1. ZeBestee
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          I dont know if you are really serious. But to answer you will only have 1 free transfer.

    3. dhamphiir
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      One free transfer per gameweek not week

  11. Jazz!

    Nice to have a solid green arrow in weeks. 73 all out 🙂 Firmané did me proud!

    Heaton, Pickford
    Walker, Holebas, Amat, Pieters, Evans
    Sanchez, Firmino, Walcott, Stirling, Capoue
    Aguero, Lukaku, Austin

    1FT £0.3 ITB

    Want to get Hazard this evening. What's the best way to go about this?

    A) straight swap for Sanchez with Walcott arsenal cover. Would then take a hit to do sterling to Coutinho.

    B) Walcott and Stirling -> Hazard and Allen/Redmond (which one?)

    Any thoughts? Thanks!

    B)

    1. Chucky

  13. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Just about my worst week for years. Had kbd as captain but all my other players scored 2 points except Williams who blanked leaving me with a grand total of 34 points. Local league rival has gained 57 points on me in last 2 weeks so i've lost my lead.
    Will have to review short term and long term targets and get myself back on track. OR is my main driver so it's a big blow.

    Well done to all those 70+ scorers.

    1. makaveli123

      I am in the same boat as you. Ups and downs, thats the nature of FPL.

      Also had holebas

    Thoughts on this lot? 🙂
    Picford

    Costa Kun

    What to do with my FT?
    A) Mane to Coutinho

    Hi...wondering who folk think the best 3rd striker would be in a 352?

    Looking to downgrade benteke game week after next.

    Is anichebe at 4.5 the go to man if he starts in Sunderlands next match?

    VoKes seems to pricey for bench ..

    Will diamonde be best bet when he is back.....

    Thanks

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      There's very slim pickings for a 3rd striker in 3-5-2 below 5.1... it's really only Stuani or Diomande or Anichebe as you point out...

      Whereas for the same price in a 3-4-3 you can have Joe Allen, Capoue, Gundogan etc. for the 4.5-5.0m range, depending on how early you got in. This is the main reason I'm not going 3-5-2, I think in the long run the stronger benched attacker in a 3-4-3 will pay off vs. 3-5-2.

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Interesting mate....plenty to mull over during next 2 weeks...

  20. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    George Friend is on a great little run of form recently - good value at 4.4 imo

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Bad fixtures. ASSIST potential though

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Assists, and baps... he has returned good points away to both Arsenal & Man City, so should have a chance of points in pretty much any game he plays. For 4.4m that's a heck of a deal.

        M'Boro had a great defence last year & Karanka has them very well drilled defensively

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Worth bringing in this week. Need a def but he is playing Chelsea

    3. ANDER.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Look at his fixtures...

    4. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I've had him since GW1. Never got round to shipping him out. He was on my bench this week behind Cameron and Amat.

  21. The Polymath

    How would you order the big-hitters in order of being essential?

    Thanks

    1. Olivier Bernards watch
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      dunno about 'essential', but the 5 players I would least like to do without are ordered something like kun, haz, cout, mane/firm, alonso

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Not sure I'd put Alonso in the essential bracket, is he really essential? the other 4 there yes agree, Lukaku as well.

    2. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      U r either essential or not essential. NO order

      Coutinho hazard the only two essential atm

    3. CFC1990
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Haz, Coutinho, Firminho, Aguero, Lukaku, Kane

      1. CFC1990
        • 15 Years

    Seriously wanting to get Snodgrass in. A brilliant performance on his return. The break did him good, back to his best it seems

      So annoyed at him! Bought him for 5 or 6 blanks and then sold him after the news he'd be out for four weeks! 🙁

    Sanchez to Hazard tonight leaves me 0FT and 2.4 itb.

    Foster (BUR)
    Clyne (sot), Walker (WHU), Amat (NOT STARTING)
    Allen (BOU), Walcott (mun), Coutinho (sot), Hazard (mid)
    Aguero (cry), Benteke (MCI), Lukaku (SWA)

    Jakupovic (NOT STARTING), Capoue (LEI), Holebas (SUS), Smith (SUS)

    Worth an 8 point hit to bring in Firminho for Walcott and Alonso for Smith?

    or...

    A 4 point hit to bring in Alonso for Amat and a 4 point hit later down the line to bring Firminho in for Walcott?

    Thanks.

      show Walcott some faith imo esp if your loosing Sanchez.

      Replacing amat looks good. Amat > Alonso and downgrade clyne later to upgrade elsewhere

    Heaton, Pickford
    Clyne, Francis, Amat, Alonso, Stones
    Sanchez, Firmino, Hazard, Coutinho, Payet

      9 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone else with 4 South Americans in your team ? (Kun Alexis Cout/Firmino.)

    Anxious whether they'll all start next gw

      Yup....think only Kun in doubt....

      Sanchez will definitely play v United....too big a game to miss.

      And the lpool players can have the whole of the week off after saints game

    Would you bother taking a -4 hit to start a defender?
    If so who to get rid of Smith or Holebas, thinking Smith because of his fixtures.
