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.

    Everyone going mad with the hits so I'm gonna join the party. Benteke and Clyne out for Austin and Alonso -8

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

      Why Benteke out?

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

        To afford Alonso. Not been tearing up any trees either

    did anyone else play Holebas over a WBA defender because of the prospect of attacking returns?

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

      Yup

    2. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I did but seeing as others Amat and Cameron it's incidental

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

    Best budget striker apart from Austin?

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

      Defoe

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years

        Hmm, good shout

    What would you do this week?

    A) Clyne & Wally -> Fuchs & Coutinho (Have Firm)
    B) Bellerin & Wally -> Fuchs & Hazard (No Chelsea)

  5. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Starting to think I should have played Darren Fletcher first sub instead of Holebas!

    1. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I played Holebas as third. Still gets his -2 off the bench 🙂

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

      Starting to?

  6. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Oh no, he is on!

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

    Leaning towards B but interested in views on

    A Keep both Firmino and Coutinho
    B Firmino to Hazard
    C Coutinho to Hazard

    Rest of front 8 are
    Ozil Allen Gundogan
    Aguero Lukaku Austin

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

      I'd swap him for Ozil

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

      Im on A

    3. JayBomb
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A and find another way to get in Haz

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A

  8. Wizard of Ozil
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Does anyone predict HAZARD will rise to 10.2 by end of international break?
    I got rid of him before his streak for Walcott. Now that Giroud is around , will Walcott be used less often and some are talking about ditching Sanchez!!!

    Think Hazard is as essential as Coutinho. Anyone agree.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Neither are essential.

      1. Don Look Back in Wenger
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Says the one who doesn't own any of em lol

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Well yeah. If they were essential I'd own them.

    2. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Certainly agree with last sentence

    3. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, yes and yes.

  9. makaveli123
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    On a scale from 1 - 10, how lucky are you if you put the armband on Sterling "as a punt" and Hazard is your VC?

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

      1. Luck is no coincidence (that's what unibet say at least)

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

      8

  10. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    If this ends 0-0 then Fuchs gets full baps?

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

    Come on defenders !

  12. JayBomb
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Does Amat have any chance of getting his place back?

    1. Long Juan Silva
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Possibly. Van der Hoorn has been shocking by all accounts, despite scoring today.

    2. vickyz r3d d3vil$ !!!
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe..just wait for the everton game...amat was a decent defender

  13. vickyz r3d d3vil$ !!!
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Seeing so many taking early hits, i think i would save a FT this week unless some major guy gets injured over the internationals...

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

    3 points separating 10 and 18th in the table as it stands.

  15. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Which 3 are the best combination?

    A) Kosc, Sanchez and Austin
    B) Fuchs, Firminho and Costa

    Thanks.

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

      Who is Firminho?!

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

      B without a shadow of a doubt

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      B for sure

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      B

  16. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Smith to Brunt looking too obvious

  17. asvpxmicky
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Foster Jaku)
    Walker Fuchs Holebas Amat Holgate
    Firmino Coutinho Lallana Hazard Hojbjerg
    Lukaku Aguero Austin

    1FT, 0.1ITB - Walker to Alonso.

    Good move or invest elsewhere?

  18. gonzalocampos
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Who to captain next week???

    Aguero for sure will score at least 1 against Palace. Lukaku has the best fixture and they will be hungry because the 5-0 against Chelsea.

    Any other option?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Defoe.

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

        I'm going for lukaku

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard due to brilliance

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

      Hazard and Coutinho based on current form

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    nyom is such an awkward player, awkward stance, awkward control, awkward running on the ball

    1. Long Juan Silva
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Sounds perfect for a Tony Pulis team

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

    First uber midfield WC draft - what do you think?

    Heaton, Pickford
    Morgan, Brunt, Holebas, Friend, Kingsley
    Sanchez, DeBruyne, Sanchez, Coutinho, Firmino
    Lukaku, Austin, Anichebe

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

      Double Sanchez
      Awesome

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

      wow 2 sanchez. bit risky

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

        Haha sorry, that's Hazard. Last glass of wine for me!

    3. Scholes Balls
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Double sanchez looks really good

  21. JayBomb
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Penalty, I mean corner to WBA!

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

      they have 5 goals from corners this season already so a corner as good as a penalty for them really

  22. Bleach †

    Bottomed

    As an Alexis owner, still dont know whether to keep him or get Haz

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

      +1

    2. Long Juan Silva
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'd keep if I had him

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

      I would keep

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Get Haz, in form, on form and not playing wide

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

    Thinking a lot...

    Grant/Pick
    Walker/Holebas/Cameron/McAuley/Amat
    Firm/Cout/Wally/Sanchez/Allen
    Kun/Kaku/Austin
    0.6 ITB

    A)Walker,/Sanchez>Alonso/Hazard
    B)Walker/Sanchez,/Kaku > Alonso/Hazard/Costa
    C)Walker/Firm/Wally > Alonso/Hazard/6.6
    D)Walker/Lukaku/Wally > Alonso/Defoe/Hazard
    E)Wally/Austin > Hazard/4.5

    Any other ideas ?

  24. davies
