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.

    Sterling & Deeney -> Hazard Anichebe for -4?

    Problem with these transfers is that I have to play AOA with Anichebe next GW. After that will bench him and start playing 3-5-2. Other option is to keep Sterling and probably lose some value with him and Haz :/ Opinions?

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Another hit for a defender?

    2. Footballfriend
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm strongly considering the Anichebe move too, frees up funds and worst comes to worst with injuries and you have a starting striker. A good midfielder is better than a meh striker!

    3. wbm
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Depending on your defenders I'd make a hit there.
      Playing AOA next week would be ok IMO.
      Going to be more that have a problem scraping up a playing 11 I think.

  2. KJT123
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Lukaku > Costa for no hit?

    1. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Lukaku has Swansea at H next GW.

    2. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not with swansea at home next!

    3. wbm
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'd wait

  3. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 5 months ago

    Wildcard time for this lot?
    .5 itb

    Heaton/Foster

    Walker Bellerin Fuchs Evans Pieters

    Allen Capoue Sanchez Mane Ramirez

    Kun Kaku Wilson

    Or is it just knee jerky after 41 points this week and dropping almost 150k places?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      WC

    2. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No, WC. Mids are way too lightweight.

  4. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone looking at Sam Vokes ? (for those going with 3-5-2)

    3 goals and 1 assist in last 4 and very decent fixtures till end of year.

    wba MCI sto BOU whu tot MID SUN

    Attack would be

    Hazard Sanchez Coutinho Firmino Allen
    Kun Austin (Vokes)

    1. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Burnley are still terrible going forward imo, would rather look elsewhere personally.

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

    Anyone not getting hazard?

    1. In Bale We Trust
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm not getting him. Can't reason myself into losing KDB, Firm or Cou and can't find the funds to upgrade Walcott from elsewhere.

    2. seaside
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      no.

    3. MTPockets
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Got him yesterday. Price driven, but in retrospect honestly not sure I would have (firmino).

    4. wbm
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A) Son + Walcott + Redmond + Lukaku > Hazard + Coutinho + Allen + Austin -8
      B) Son + Redmond + Capoue > Coutinho + Allen + de Roon -4
      C) Son + Walcott > Hazard + Allen

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

      Bottomed

      Pick one please lads:

      a) Williams > Alonso

      b) Lallana > Coutinho

      c) Williams + Lallana > Pieters + Hazard (-4)

      d) Save

      1. Footballfriend
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        A or B depending on your defence

        1. Sweetboi
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Would be: Williams/Stones/Kosc for next week with Holebas banned.

    6. Gareth nose
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Who do you think?

      A) Allen
      B) Snodgrass

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        B

      2. Too Mane Men
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Its genuinely a coin flip. I'd say Snodgrass but only for his higher point ceiling.

    7. Swanny18
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Walcott, Benteke, Walker > Hazard, Austin, McAuley for -8 a decent move?

      Don't want to take the -8 but can't see another way of getting Haz in and can't afford the price rise if I wait a week.

    8. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm second in my ML with my rival being 1st in the entire FPL.

      89pts difference. Do able?

      1. Sweetboi
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Of course, especially with the chips. 27 GWs left, more than enough time.

      2. Shultan
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Season not half way over yet so of course its do able!

      3. Je suis le chat
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Well done sofar, you can win the whole thing. Captain picks will be the difference.

    9. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Holebas > McAuley -8 overall?

      Only have 2 playing defenders next GW

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

        Have the same issue

        Got amat Kingsley and holebas

        I think I'll get rid for brunt

        1. Danstoke82
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Why Brunt?

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

            Assist potential I guess

      2. Sweetboi
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        McAuley needs at least 4, it's risky.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Can make up the 4 in other GWs.

          1. Sweetboi
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            True, makes sense long term.

            1. Danstoke82
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Shall I go for it?

      3. Too Mane Men
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Don't sell Holebas. Good fixtures ahead so you're binning points if Watford keep their form up.

        1. Danstoke82
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I don't want to sell but there's no alternatives to Amat or MWilson

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

      So many hits this coming week think I can get a green arrow by simply avoiding one

      1. My Name Is Prince
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Still depends on your team

    11. Captain Blanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      fpl changes so quickly this year. Before this weekend i had Sanchez pencilled in as captain for gw13 thinking he was a possible season keeper, now i'm looking at selling 😆

      1. Captain Blanks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Same with Walcott a couple of weeks before that

      2. My Name Is Prince
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I was thinking Firmino --> Hazard yesterday (but wanted to see today's game first, as I also have Coutinho and someone could have gotten injured), now I'm thinking Firmo is a season keeper, and want to take a -8 hit to go Wally --> Haz instead 😀

    12. Think
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      How to bring hazard in ?
      Current lot is.
      Chec Pickford
      Blind Pieters Kone Collins Robertson
      Sanchez Mane Antonio Allen Capoue
      Aguero Lukaku Benteke.
      Which plan is better ? Have 2 FT & .9 in bank.
      A) Benteke+Antonio > Anichebe+Hazard (play 3-5-2)
      B) Benteke+Antonio+Capoue > Anichebe+Hazard+Snoddy (-4)
      C) Benteke+Antonio+Blind >
      Vokes+Hazard+Brunt (-4)
      Or any other...please suggest.
      Thanks.

      1. Footballfriend
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I like A for the moment, don't need that hit yet, move Capoue out for snoddy the week after!

    13. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Is worth it to loose Siggy for Hazard? Siggy has good fixtures coming up. Or should o transfer out Sanchez?

      1. Sweetboi
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Sanchez a lot more key than Siggy. Lose Siggy.

      2. MartialMatas
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        yep

      3. Joyce1998
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        hazard in, sanchez out it seems

      4. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Sanchez out

        1. Karan_G14
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          He has amazing fixtures coming up. And has been good away from home. Next up is a not so solid United defence.

      5. MTPockets
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Siggy

      6. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Would you take a hit for Chadli > Firmino?

        Heaton
        Clyne Kosc Fuchs
        Sanchez Chadli Allen Coutinho
        Kun Lukaku Austin

        (Foster Capoue Amat Souare)

        1. MartialMatas
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          yeah

        2. My Name Is Prince
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          yes

      7. MartialMatas
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I've been punished already for my early transfers

        My team is
        Heaton
        Fuchs Pieters Lovren
        Sanchez Hazard Firmino Coutinho Walcott
        Aguero Austin

        Pickford W.Keane Amat Holebas

        With 4 south americans in my team and no one on my bench likely to start, do i take a hit to get rid of amat or holebas?

        0.3ITB
        I'm thinking of Amat->Nyom or Holebas -> Brunt

        1. Larry Legend
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Think wait walt and see.

      8. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Sanchez to Hazard
        Or
        Austin Wally to Hazard 4.5
        ??

        1. Odikostar
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Though to get rid of austin now, so probaly sanchez :/

      9. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Did snodgrass go to a faith healer or something I thought he was supposed to be out for four weeks!
        I would hate to see him when he is fit!

        1. Karan_G14
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I transferred him out this week. 🙂

        2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I'm wondering the same. Had him and read that 4 week crap, sold him and now find myself mad as a bat.

      10. GS456
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Shall i pull the trigger now on Sanchez > Hazard and keep Firmy/Coutinho

        1. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Thinking about it !

      11. LewanGOALski
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        current team is:

        Heaton - Pickford
        Fuchs - Lovren - Holebas - Pieters - Amat
        Sanchez - Walcott - Firmino - Arnie - Capoue
        Aguero - Lukaku - Austin

        1FT
        bank: 1.0m

        I found 3 way to squeeze CHE into it:
        A. Sanchez ➡ Hazard
        B. Arnie & Lukaku ➡ Hazard & Defoe (-4)
        C. Lukaku ➡ D.Costa

        Which one should I go for?
        Or should I just leave it and hope for the best?

        1. wbm
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          With Lukaku against Swansea up next I would either do A or hold.

        2. MTPockets
            9 years, 5 months ago

            C or leave

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

          Best defender for 4.3?

          1. Odikostar
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Nyom's your man

          2. My Name Is Prince
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Nyom probably, he seems to be nailed and next 3 good fixtures

        4. Hurricane Gilbert
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Gone from 750k to 50k in 5 weeks. Good feeling heading into the break!

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            I've gone from 900k to 26k last 6. Strangely not feeling so good heading into the break, more bricking it over not owning any Chelsea atm

        5. Jar Jar Winks

            No to lovren!
            Spurs have 4 home games in next 6 so id look at getting a spurs defender instead of kos

        6. F5jason
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Current team with 0.0 in the bank and 1 FT

          Heaton Pickford
          Koscielny Fuchs Friend Smith Holebas
          Hazard Coutinho Walcott Sterling Capoue
          Aguero Lukaku Wilson

          Neither Smith or Holebas are playing next game, and want to get in another Liverpool midfielder, so..

          A)
          Aguero to Costa
          Sterling to Firmino
          For 4 point hit

          B) A + Holebas/Smith to Azpilicueta for 8 point hit

          1. bojack
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Wouldn't lose Aguero and leave yourself with no City.

            Could downgrade Fuchs to fund Sterling to Firm.

        7. bojack
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Not sure how to fit some Arsenal into this within 2 transfers (1.4 itb):

          Foster
          Walker* McAuley Friend
          Hazard Firmino Coutinho Redmond
          Aguero Costa Benteke

          Pickford Whelan Amat Holebas

        8. Footballfriend
          • 9 Years

          Who's the priority, firmino or coutinho?

          1. Jar Jar Winks
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            coutinho

        9. Declan
          • 16 Years

          WC this lot:

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

          for this lot?

          Pick Grant
          Alonso Clyne Pieters Evans Amat
          Firm Theo Cout Allen Hazard
          Kun Luk Mbokani/Anichebe

          1. Larry Legend
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Think I would WC (see below) but not sure about that new team. Keepers, Amat, Anichebe... asking for trouble in the future there.

        10. Larry Legend

          Foster (Pickford)

          Seriously considering the wildcard. Silly or smart?

        11. tm245
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Erased the rank drop from my Ibra for a hit captaincy debacle in gw10 by shipping him out for Hazard with another hit.

          Leaves me up ~6k since gw9 - highest rank of the season so far at 57k. Green arrows are a welcome sight heading into the break.

          1. tm245

            Reply fail to HG above, will get deservedly bottomed too.
