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.

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

            • 9 Years

            CORRECT!

            1. fedolefan
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              YES!!!

        3. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          What's the answer? We're waiting.

      • fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month 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
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Maybe they've had too much pizza.

          1. fedolefan
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            That's what I'm thinking.

        2. Sánchez
          • 13 Years

          a

      • Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month 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.

        Who does Klopp have to sign in January to give us the best chance of winning the league.
        Solid left back and centre back

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

          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.

        7. Gareth nose

          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.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month 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

          4. Bleach †
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month 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
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

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

            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month 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 🙁

            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month 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

            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.

            Is Chadli expected to start again after the international break?

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