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, 5 months ago

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

      • Stockport Hatter
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Sanchez

      • big_cliff
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Sanchez. Firmino so much better value

      • SYLVIAN
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Sanchez + Traore OUT
        Hazard + Walcott IN

        for -4 worth it?

        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, 5 months ago

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

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

        3. Ibracadabra
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 5 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.

      • Jaok

        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?

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

              I tripled up too but when with Lallana over Clyne

      • Pochecinno

        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.
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Today was always going to be a tough fixture

        2. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 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, 5 months ago

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

            • Ibracadabra
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 5 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...

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

                And coming from Internationals with Chile..

                (not kneejerking, just felt like listing his negatives)

            3. Worzel Gummidge
                9 years, 5 months ago

                Let them sell. It will end up being hilarious.

                Depends on what you can get in

                Sanchez/deeney> hazard/costa

                Seriously tempting me

              • Pochecinno
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 5 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
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 5 months ago

                  Not that I believe in attacking cover anyway.

                  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, 5 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

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

                        1. Worzel Gummidge
                            9 years, 5 months ago

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

                            1. Nabs Kebabs

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

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

                              Cheers

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

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

                      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.

                      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!

                        Yep, what I am aiming for

                        Defenders are poor value at the top end at the moment

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

                          But not 0.00% 😉

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

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

                      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.
