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.

    Just getting out of Anfield life is good as a Liverpool fan right now the cream on the cake is Mane,Coutinho & Austin saving my GW 🙂

    Is this the time to ditch premium defenders?

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

      Hard to justify any of them at the moment

    2. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Depends which ones, if Chelsea then absolutely not

      1. Bleach †
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Kosc and Walker

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not at all, look at these stats:
      Spurs 5 clean sheets from 11 games
      Chelsea 6 clean sheets from 11 games

      1. Bleach †
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        how about Kosc → Alonso/Azpi then? Also Chelsea had 4 clean sheets in a row, thinking that how long can they keep it up 😀

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

          If I got one of them they will concede 4 goals, thats for sure

        2. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I wouldn't, Arsenal have 4 clean sheets from 11 and only conceded in the last 2 from the penalty spot so if they look great for cleanies going forward

    I want to get Hazard but how can I take hit and remove Sterling who's playing that Palace defense.

    1. 50 Shades Oshea
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Honestly getting rid of sterling is one of the easiest decisions

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

        For a hit?

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

          I would. Hazard and Sterling aren't even comparable

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

        This

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

      Haz has rude fixtures from wk 15

  4. 50 Shades Oshea
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Bottomed.
    which option would you do.
    My mids:
    capoue, gundogan, Sanchez, firminio, coutinho

    A) capoue- Pedro
    B) capoue- lallana- triple
    Pool
    C) firminio-haz
    D) gundogan and bellerin- 4.1 and haz -4

    Thanks

  5. grig

    Should I knee-jerk?

    Kun+Chadli -> Haz+Costa

    1. 50 Shades Oshea
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No keep kun, he is rank destroyer if he goes crazy

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

      Wow what? No

    3. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'd thinking very carefully before ditching Kun

  6. drughi
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Koscielny>brunt is tempting. Gives me 1.3 extra itb also

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

      Ridiculous price for Kos...

      1. drughi
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Got him in at 6.0 and served me well but need cash

    2. 50 Shades Oshea
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Ye thinking this, but bellerin, just I will have foster, brunt and dawson

      1. drughi
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Might be a bit overkill with 3 wb defenders

  7. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    We've had Hull hunting. Now it's time for Swansea Scrummaging

    1. Ibracadabra
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      This. Lukaku (C) if Argentina have a late WCQ match (haven't looked).

  8. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I'm so happy 😀

    Amat not playing means I get Friend's points off the bench.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Allways nice to have a Friend.

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

    With all these amazing midfield options I've been neglecting my defence, now it's a mess!

    Lovren - inj
    Walker - inj
    Amat - dropped
    Kelly - terrible set record, gets subbed pre 60
    Williams - not the same guy who bossed it for Swansea

    Gonna need to take a hit after the internationals I think...

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

      Kelly - cpl terrible def record*

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

    Come on Baggies. Clean sheet.

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

      Yep 2x Baggies here

  11. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    is Lallana still on 3 bps?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Really hope Firm steal them

    2. ol3andre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Lallana (50)
      Firmino (48)
      Coutinho (44)
      Mané (41)

  12. Sjaugen
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Will Dawson get a retroactive ban for that elbow?

  13. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    So sticking to Sanchez + Walcott double up worked out well this GW 🙁
    After todays match, are we ny wiser who to keep and who to ship for Hazard? The price difference obviously having a big effect on rest of the team, so ship Sanchez based on that alone?

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

    Lovren is my only outfield Liverpool player, Holebas is first on my bench... Typical!

    At least the Swedish donkey did something 🙂

    1. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Same

  15. Greasy
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Is Costa and Watmore to Austin and Haz for -4 bad idea?

  16. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    What is with Arsenal and winning matches in November?

    1. FPL_Hazards

    2. La Roja

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      * yeah meant not winning of course

  17. FPL_Hazards
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Brunt almost centre forward

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

    Is brunt nailed on?

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

      Hard to say 100%. Looks likely, but injuries/suspensions cloud the affair a little

  19. devils advocate
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Why are some saying Ibra's suspended?

    Don't you need 5 YC's for a suspension?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      ....

    2. Nabs Kebabs

  20. crazyasianac
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Is liverpool mid so neccessary that I should trade out one of Hazard, Alexis, Kun, Costa or Lukaku??

    Heaton (Pickford)
    Azpi, Friend, Holebas (Mcauley, Amat)
    Haz, Alexis, Gundogan, Allen (Marney)
    Costa, Lukaku, Kun

    0m itb

    1. Unliklinho
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Looking at what you've got there I'd do Costa and Allen/Gundo out for Coutinho and Defoe in.

  21. FPL_Hazards
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Brunt close to header

  22. CERVELO
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Given the Arsenal November voodoo what you fellas reckon to;

    Sanchez to Hazard
    Lukaku to Costa

    ??

    1. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Just the first one

      1. CERVELO
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Would leave plenty cash in the bank doing just the first, very tempted to go Gundogan to Moses too but mid would then look like;

        Hazard Mane Coutinho Moses Capoue

  23. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Williams out for Brunt is one of the more obvious transfers

    1. the cromulent one
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Williams has Swansea next. Hold off.

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

    Brunt is a proper CF. OMG.

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Is he playing that high ? Where's Rondon ?

  25. eoan
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    If you guys could wildcard now which would you do?

    Heaton,Pickford
    Alonso, Evans, Stones, Friend, Kingsley
    Ozil, Coutinho, Hazard, Chadli, Fletcher
    Aguero, Lukaku, Austin

    or

    Foster, Pickford
    Alonso, Evans, Stones, Friend, Amat
    Firmino, Coutinho, Hazard, Walcott, Fletcher
    Aguero, Lukaku, Austin

  26. FPL_Hazards
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Zieler is terrible. So gutted I brought Fuchs in

  27. Bleach †
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    So at this point, would you rather have Alexis or Hazard?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard, but already having Alexis, I don't wanna sell.

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

      Hazard. If Giroud starts, Sanchez is likely to score less.

  28. InSaneMan-e
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Gundogan+Bellerin-->Hazard and evans for -4
    Yay or Nay?

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Or Brunt instead of evans

  29. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Zlatan on 4 yellows or 5?

    1. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      6

    2. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 5 months ago

        He is suspended so 5

      • ol3andre
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        5 - susp vs Arsenal

    3. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Is there any reason Walcott owners dont listen when people tell them Walcott is a rotation risk and does not cover Sanchez?

        1. Unliklinho
          • 12 Years
