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.

    I think the Bruntinho wagon has finally left the station. It is time

    1. Backup Dancer
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm tempted

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

      In retrospect, getting him in this week for a hit would not have been crazy.

    Reckon Rondon will start next gw? Not sure my team can cope with another south American

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

      Amazing fixtures if he'd start

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

      Better options out there but should starr

      1. Matamatics
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Start

      2. Backup Dancer
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yeh true. Need a wilson replacement

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

      yes

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

    Kosc to Brunt and Wally to Hazard for -4 looking like a good possibility

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

      Assume you have other Arsenal? Good fixtures coming.

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

        Nah

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I would do that

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

    I love how I made the right call: played Coleman over Holebas. 😎
    Only to have Lovren not play and get the Holebas -2 off the bench.

      Gg

  6. devils advocate

    9 years, 5 months ago

    So 63pts all out after only 15pts yesterday.

    I'm still predicting a red arrow but should be less harsh now.

    How's everyone else looking?

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

      Surely not a red with that score

      1. Matamatics
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        58 (-4) with Morgan playing. If Leicester lose their clean sheet looks like a red 🙁

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

        Well after yesterday's games I dropped approximately 70k places, and I'm assuming a lot of players had the same highly owned players I had today, therefore I should get a green arrow back up the ranks but I doubt there will be a net gain from my position before the gw started.

        Make sense?

        1. RoysCallerAnne

          Fantasy football fix.
          You can follow your GW live

            9 years, 5 months ago

            Thanks for that mate.

            Just checked and looks like I'll get a small green arrow to 54k, so happy with that. 😉

            Started the gw at 67k. After Sat's games I dropped to 140k, and now after today's games I'll be back up to 54k.

            A roller-coaster ride. 🙂

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

      Hows that a red?

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

        See above. 😉

    3. Bubz
      • 12 Years

      Very similar here

    4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      75 with brunt playing

      That punk firmino ruined a perfect weekend

      1. devils advocate
        • 11 Years

        Noice. Well done! 🙂

          • 16 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          You too mate. Not a bad score at all. Beats most of my ml and some good experienced players in there

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

            Thanks mate. Originally thought it was average as I assumed no CHE players would have a greater effect.

            Just looked at fffix thanks to ROYSCALLERANNE, and turns out I was wrong.

            They've got me having a green arrow to 54k, so better than the 67k I started the gw with.

            I'll take that. 🙂

    5. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      that's a great score

    6. Revival

      not a red unless you inside the top 500 or something

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

        Awful, 45 all out no baps.. if there is any..

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

      Solid green I reckon, lots of folks have Sanchez and only one Liverpool mid and no Zlatan.

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

        Hope your right.

        I had Sanchez, but also Austin, Firmino, Coutinho, Redmond and Ibra so got lucky.

        Also Holebas' -2pts and a -4pt hit.

        Could have been more if not for the Snodgrass -> Redmond transfer I made, but he was originally ruled out.

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

      Not great. Looking like 46 here and a red

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

    Nearly a Fuchs assist

  8. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Brunt playing like a centre forward

  9. Sims

      Why did you repost with the caps still included

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        He's angry at his defence situation

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          🙂

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

        I thought the previous one was a reply fail to someone else's comment

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

      I tell you how, Chris Brunt (£4.9) is how.

    6. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I can't see how you can unless you get cash from somewhere

      Nyom maybe?

    7. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Get in a Burnley defender for Amat. Then change Mannone to Valdes. Would look okay to me with that defence if you have a good midfield and forward line (e.g. Hazard, Coutinho, De Bruyne, Austin, Lukaku, Costa).

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

    Ibra Payet Lovren > Brunt Hazard Kane?

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

      Too early for Kane. Spurs need to show signs of open-play conversion. Find a way to get hazard elsewhere

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

      For -4? Yes

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

    Liverpool and the 2 little Brazilian wizards.

    There's an award winning kids book if ever I saw one.

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

    Stupid f****** Ibra. I was hoping to get a few rises from him, but he's dropping again. wtf

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

      He just scored you two goals

      1. Matamatics
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        People were saving for this game now getting rid for lukaku Costa etc

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

      People need cash for Hazard.

  13. fiveyears
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    With Holebas out next week the West Brom double up with Brunt and Evans is tempting.

    Foolish, but tempting 😀

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

      Do it

  14. mr messi
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Is Nyom nailed?

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

    40 points so far this gameweek, all of GW10's gains pretty much undone for me now

    1. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      38 for me

  16. 824545201
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Siggy could have easily had 3 assists today if Swansea had a decent finisher up top. So frustrating.

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

      Aye. Sadly they don't and much better options elsewhere. Price likely to fall again before it gets better for Siggy

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

    Is the Leicester game any good? Can't bring myself to watch West Brom

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

      No worse that watching a standard man utd game tbh

  18. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    NYOM NYOM NYOM (And McAuley and Morgan playing here)

  19. liiusions
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Mad to go triple WBA defence for the next 3? I need Brunt in my team

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

      Triple is definitely too much!

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

      madness given they conceded 4 goals last week

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I have double, it doesnt fill me with confidence ever

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

      West brom is west brom
      Do it

  20. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Only two playing def for nextweek

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

      AOA

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

      I had four this week and they totalled 0, could be a blessing in disguise.

  21. QueefParkRangers
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Really hating this FF season, feel like I'm constantly behind putting in the correct players..

    Hazard is now in so watch him flop

  22. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Ok, so I think im getting bruntinho in.

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

    need another defender next week and have 0.3 itb.
    amat to nyom or holebas to brunt?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      The latter

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

      Amat. Holebas long-term does well I reckon.

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

        Also, Amat looks totally defunct.

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Nyom - Holebas is a season keeper for me.

  24. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone else getting Evans off their bench for Lovren? 😀

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

      Nah Holebas for me 🙂

  25. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Am I the only one thinking of just riding the price rises/ break?

    With Allen-Firmino-Cout-Sanchez, not much I can do to get in Hazard unless one of them gets injured on break.

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

      Yeah if you want two Liverpool + Sanchez it's very difficult without sacrificing a Lukaku etc.

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Sanchez > hazard

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

        The obvious move is to get out Sanchez yes. But still, feels knee-jerky plus international break.

        Any one of these players can get injured and I only have 1 FT and 0.0 ITB. So I'm watching

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

      Think I'm going to wait until Chelsea's fixtures get better and get Hazard in then. Hopefully it will be clearer who to ditch for him then

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

    What do we think about Walcott's playing chances from now on? Is he still likely to keep starting with Rambo, Ox and Giroud sniffing about?

    1. Matamatics
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Off at the 70 min each game I think. He is ahead of iwobi in pecking order

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

      Ox is so horrible he shd be sacked

      But wenger will start Ramsey at some pointers

      1. Matamatics
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I think Rambo will come in at the pivot. Walcotts position safe for now

        1. VS10_
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Cazorla has that when fit.

    3. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Ramsey may be central, Giroud will threaten Iwobi and there is no way Ox can be in the starting line-up.

      1. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Rambo will start ahead of Rambo on the right just like he did most of last season. Only a matter of time.

      2. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Walcott is safe. Ox came on today and was terrible.

        1. Worzel Gummidge
            9 years, 5 months ago

            You clearly dont know Arsene of Arsenal.

      3. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Zlatan's ownership in top 10 k?

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

          Negligible

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

          very low, top 10k wouldn't have such a high rank holding on to such a costly player this long who hadn't delivered

        3. Chucky
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          ta

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

        Capoue and Lukaku => Hazard and Anichebe for free

        Front 7:

        Alexis • Walcott •Firmino • Coutinho • Hazard
        Aguero • Austin (Anichebe)

        A) Yes
        B) No

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

          I've done the same, but kept Lukaku, and don't have Austin

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

          Certainly not crazy. I'd be reluctant to lose Lukaku before Swansea at home, though.

        3. Tommy J
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I very nearly ended up with that front 8 as I could have swapped Lukaku and Allen to Anichebe and Hazard last night.

          I didn't because I'm not convinced of Anichebe's game time and so I swapped Wally and Lukaku to Defoe and Haz.

          I therefore have Allen/Defoe rather than Wally/Anichebe. With the likely sub coming from this combo I guess you can say I have Defoe over Wally but I was worried about Anichebe and Wally's regularity of starts and so went this option...

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

            Thanks for the point. Very like Defoe option. Also concerned on Walcott.

        4. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Prefer:

          De Bruyne - Walcott - Hazard - Coutinho - Allen
          Costa - Lukaku - Austin

        5. Grand Thibauto
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Capoue+Aguero to Hazard+Costa?

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

            No funds
