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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Siggy will be my transfer in gw 13.

    Amazing fixtures coming up and he's been ticking along nicely in a lacklustre Swansea side.

    I expect decent returns in the near future.

      I'm thinking of ditching him for Hazard. But he's got me 2 assists in the last 3 games. Don't want to loose one of Sanchez, Firmino, Coutinho, Kun.

        If 3 less people scored under 39, it would be 40 🙂

      How can you tell if you're still in it? Do you remove all from the league who fall below?

    WHICH fpl defender has 22 goals and 46 assists in his PL career

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

      Bruntinho.

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

        CORRECT!

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

          YES!!!

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      alonso?

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

      What's the answer? We're waiting.

  4. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Any word on if Ranieri is still offering pizza to the players for a CS. Pizza may not be enough and am tempted to shift their defenders out until he finds an adequate replacement.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Maybe they've had too much pizza.

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

        That's what I'm thinking.

    2. Sánchez
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      a

  5. Sánchez
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    I'm looking at doing Sanchez to Hazard
    If I do, I will want Arsenal attack from gw13 as the fixture run is brilliant

    Do people think Giroud will get regular starts once they return fr international break?
    Today wasn't the game to throw him in with a start but he done well last week.

  6. Fowler23
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Who does Klopp have to sign in January to give us the best chance of winning the league.
    Solid left back and centre back
    Hope motions are in place to make this happen

    1. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      A commanding centre back, yep

    2. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      CB has to be priority. But a winger too because Mane is off to AFCON.

  7. andymck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    OR updated 🙂

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

      My OR fell today, even with Austin and Mane. Crazy

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

        That's what you get for being in the top 1k or whatever.

    Sterling,Theo,Fuchs > Azpi/Alsono,Hazard,Allen

    1. FPL_Hazards

  15. King Kohli
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Which do you prefer?

    A) Doing Walker ---> Alonso (GW 12)
    B) Doing Siggy ----> Coutinho & Walker ----> Pieters (GW 13)

    Can't afford both without further downgrades which I'm not too keen on.

  16. Gareth nose
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Allen or Snodgrass?

  17. Azathoth
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Walcott to Pedro
    a)knee jerk
    b)just do it.

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

      A

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

      B if you can't afford hazard or Costa, or if you already own Alexis

  18. nkhoughton
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    92 points a season high not a bad wildcard

    1. The Orienteer - find me in …

      You are the man NK!

    2. The Wise Owl

      Nice, those who held out on wildcards must be laughing.

      Keep it going anyway!

  19. drughi
    • 16 Years

    11 gameweeks in and already in the top 100k 🙂 Looks promising

  20. Postman Ty
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Bench one please (have Firmino as well):

    Allen (Bou - home)
    Redmond (Liv - home)
    Lallana (Sou - away)

    Currently on Lallana since I don't particularly fancy double coverage away to a stong Sot'n defence.

    1. MTPockets

      Looks to be a great season for you TM

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Can't complain despite a few mistakes and bad luck.

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

      😯 well done
      we have the same score 😉

        I forgot the sad face 🙁

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I doubt I will catch you next week. I took an 8 point hit to bring in the chelsea brigade.
      There's time yet 🙂

  22. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Pieters or Friend (enabling the Hazard transfer)

    Pieters has good fixtures
    Friend has attack potential and with today's points I should get a price gain and he's 0.1m cheaper which could be useful

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

    Can I even afford not to have Hazard? I mean, if he performs well and I dont have him my rank drops drastically, not to meantion my mini-league leader has him. And Costa. And I have no Chelsea cover 😀

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

      Lukaku Kun can cover Costa. No idea who apart from Liv mids can come close to those 19 point hauls.

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

    Apart from Chelsea defs who r too expensive for me there really isn't anyone I can look at and say that's a good a pick

    Got holebas and amat and need to shift one of them 🙁

  25. Sánchez
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Is walker proper injured?

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

      He was walkering uncomfortably

  26. Total Foot 5
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    FT to bring Coutinho in?

    1 bring him tonite ahead of price
    2 wait for the 2 agmes he ahs to play w/ Brasil to avoid injury risk and risk price rise .1-.2

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Take the risk, you could be in for a nice sum of money!

      1. Total Foot 5
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        thats what im thinkinglooks like hima nd haz might go .2 easy this week..and i think he will not start for brasil hopefully

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

      I'd do it now. WHat's the chances of an injury? 5%? I pull that fugure our of nowhere but its about that

  27. The Orienteer - find me in …
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Should be back in the top 2m!

    1. Epic Fail

      Congrats mate.

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

      Always good anytime you go up.

  28. Cymro
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Heaton, Foster
    Clyne, Fuchs, Stones, Holebas, Kingsley
    Bolasie, Walcott, Coutinho, Hazard, Capoue
    Wilson, Aguero, Costa

    I have many issues, but the first must be Wilson? Do I get Voken or Austin? I also want brunt, but Fuchs/Clyne to Brunt is not worth a hit right? Any advice would be appreciated guys.

  29. Swanny18
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is Chadli expected to start again after the international break?

    1. Knowledgeable meerkat
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      They're hopeful that he'll be in contention, nothing assured though at this stage. Hard to tell since he's recovering from treatment

  30. camarozz
