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.

    Sell Sanchez, Firmino or Coutinho to fund Hazard?

    Thanks

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Firmino for me. Cout looks like he is more consistent this year and is the main vein of that team.

    2. Stockport Hatter
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Sanchez

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

      Sanchez. Firmino so much better value

    4. SYLVIAN
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Sanchez + Traore OUT
      Hazard + Walcott IN

      for -4 worth it?

    5. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      What's the point of selling amazing players who are getting a lot of points and still have an amazing run of fixtures to get even more points??

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 10 months ago

        hazard is a better player getting more points. More points = better rank. Thats how it works

  2. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Chelsea only team with a clean sheet

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

    Ibra YC 🙁

  4. Les Bleus
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Ibra suspended 😯

  5. TorresMagic™

    • 17 Years

    Ibra suspended for Arsenal game.

    1. Crouching Tiger
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Soo... Rashford up top.

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

      So I might just start Koscielny 😀

  6. Declan
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Would you WC this lot? Ta.

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

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I'd be tempted for sure. The balance is out of whack.

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

        Cheers TM

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Definitely. Midfield needs to be really beefed up and int.break is always a good time.

    3. Ibracadabra
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yes if you don't have 2 FTs- you can replace Amat / Jaku / Holberg / Musa and potentially others like Clyne / Forster even. If you have 2 FTs you could probably be fine with a -4.

  7. Jaok
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Pick-Jaku
    Walker-Lovren-Pieters-Holebas-Amat
    Couthino-Sanchez-Firmino-Gundogan-Capoue
    Deeney-Kun-Lukaku

    Want Hazard. Crazy to do Walker+Capoue+Deeney-> Morgan+Hazard+4.5-striker for -8? and play 2-5-3

    or should I just get rid of firmino/Sanchez?

  8. Ziro
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Andy STILL holding Ibra would be a tale to tell my grandkids.

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

      holding upto GW12 i.e.

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

          Unlucky about Clyne, could've easily gotten something today.

          I tripled up too but when with Lallana over Clyne

          1. Hy liverpool
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            well done with that .. may join you if i got rid of clyne

    2. big_cliff
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Brilliant. Well done, mate! That mid is just wow!

  10. Pochecinno
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    I don't own Sanchez but I find the idea of selling him somewhat kneejerky. He played the meanest defence in the league today. Of course he blanked.

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

      Today was always going to be a tough fixture

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I also sold him for Hazard just a few moment ago. Planning to buy Walcott soon. Remember a couple of weeks ago when Walcott stats were better than Sanchez, for less money he is a great alternative imo

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Walcott does not cover Sanchez and is not nailed!!!!

      2. Ibracadabra
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Walcott subbed out around 70th today and with Oxlade-Chamberlain and Giroud both options from the bench he will likely be subbed out early quite a bit unless can find goalscoring boots again... still own both him and Sanchez but in a conundrum myself. Don't mind losing 0.1m or even 0.2m on Walcott this break (likely) to monitor injuries to likes of injury prone Aguero and others over INTL break, but would hold on transfers...

    3. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Insane, but he's expensive and a lot of people are scratting around for funds

    4. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      And next week he plays a rejuvinated United though

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

        lol wot

      2. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I hope this is a joke 🙂

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

        And coming from Internationals with Chile..

        (not kneejerking, just felt like listing his negatives)

    5. Worzel Gummidge
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Let them sell. It will end up being hilarious.

    6. Ghost86
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Depends on what you can get in

      Sanchez/deeney> hazard/costa

      Seriously tempting me

    7. Pochecinno
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Walcott doesn't seem to 'cover' him anymore. He is clearly a rotation risk now. Giroud, Ramsey and Oxlade-Chamberlain are just some of the players he will be rotated with.

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

        Not that I believe in attacking cover anyway.

      2. Nabs Kebabs

        9 years, 10 months ago

        Hi Poch

        Whenever I post you troll me about playing BB GW1. Have you actually read the rationale behind it though?

        http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2016/08/05/sleeper-cesc-fabregas/?hc_page=7#hc_comment_13675873

        1. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Nabs, there is no rational to play BB in a single week so no one is going to waste their time reading a post from Ruth who had the luxury of doing it since he has 3 teams. You dont and you wasted it. Time to just let it go 🙂

          1. Nabs Kebabs
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            You think GW rank of 731 is wasting it? Man you sure are a jealous guy loooool

            1. Worzel Gummidge
              9 years, 10 months ago

              The fact you think your GW ranks means you had a good BB just proves how delusional you are.

              1. Nabs Kebabs
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 10 months ago

                Ok then, let's go with I am delusional atm.

                Care to enlighten me on how I didn't have a good BB?

                Cheers

    8. ol3andre

      Just did for Hazard.

  11. Syd.

    Was I the only one that tipped both Liverpool & Chelsea to be serious title contenders

    European football takes so much out of the other teams

    1. Bleach †

      Yea, surely, the only one 😀

      over a century...

    3. Syd.

    Epic Fail!!! Got my money?

  14. My Name Is Prince
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Costa 9pts, Austin 8pts.... Not that bad not having Costa tbh!

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

      price difference?

      1. My Name Is Prince
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah, that too! Makes it better of course!! cheers! 😀

    2. Odikostar

      Kun...

    3. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Costa 73 pts
      Austin 46 pts
      I will stick to my Costa choice

      1. My Name Is Prince
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        if you use that logic you should obviously use PPG... Costa has better PPG, but what about the price?

    4. StoneMountain
      • 11 Years

      1 bap for Austin mate

      1. My Name Is Prince

        ridiculous... i hate these late additions...

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

          The new system is a right old mess

    5. Worzel Gummidge
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Better if you have both.

      1. My Name Is Prince
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Aguero - Lukaku - Austin...

        1. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Similar but I have Costa instead of Kak

    6. Scholes Balls
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Costa could have had 17 easily

  15. KOLASINA(C)
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Ibra suspendeddd

  16. Crouching Tiger
    • 13 Years

    Mata almost

  17. thep025
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Sanchez+Redmond->Walcott +Haz for -4??

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

      not sure its smart to get rid of sanchez, good games coming up

    2. SYLVIAN
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      This is what I'm thinking. Although Hazard next three fixtures might not be that great for him.

  18. Philman
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Can anyone tell me what the current score is leading the FanDuel £5 fan favourite game?

    I am on 406.75, but only entered the £10 double-up game this week.

    a) pedro
    b) lallana
    c) get 5 mid swap with allen an get 1 chelsea def
    d) pls advice

    3 atking for 1 team would be too crazy ?

    thx for advice

  21. My Name Is Prince
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Suddenly looking at a midfield of Sanchez - Firmo - Coutinho - Hazard with no premier defenders.... I'll take those 4 over Alonso, Walker, Kosc, etc easily!

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

      Same

    2. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yep, what I am aiming for

      Defenders are poor value at the top end at the moment

  22. Crouching Tiger
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Mata YC

  23. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Brunt is so advanced

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

      0.0% ownership. Now that's what I call a differential

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

        But not 0.00% 😉

    2. 50 Shades Oshea
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Ye gold, got Dawson and foster already though, but tempted by triple up

  24. Crouching Tiger
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Mata off
    Lingard in

  25. SYLVIAN
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Sanchez got a double against Hull. He seems really expensive for what you actually get back. Surely Walcott is better actual value?

    1. thep025
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I am thinking Sanchez+Redmond->Walcott+Hazard for a -4??

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    A) capoue- Pedro

    First Kun gets 7 shots inside the box, hits 4 on target, to score just 1 goal. Then ManU scores 3 from 3 on target, Zlatan 2 from 2 shots, Hull 2 from 2 on target and Swans 1 from 1 on target.
