Dugout Discussion – Leicester vs West Brom

3,007 Comments
Share

Gameweek 8 concludes at the King Power Stadium with Leicester City hosting West Bromwich Albion.

The Fantasy Football community will be torn heading into this encounter, with allegiances split between the home attack and the Baggies backline.

Jamie Vardy is undoubtedly the star turn on show. Owned by 16.3% of managers, the five-goal striker was brought in by 294,000 ahead of Gameweek 8, the third most popular transfer target. He has goals in his last two in front of his own supporters, but is yet to score against West Brom at home in three attempts.

Elsewhere for the Foxes, Harry Maguire boasts an ownership of 7.4%, attracting just over 40,000 new managers prior to Saturday’s deadline. The centre-back has a goal and an assist from his three home appearances so far.

Ahmed Hegazi remains the most popular asset in the West Brom camp. Still part of 1.3 million squads, he’s been benched by 353,000 (26.9%) ahead of tonight’s clash.

Meanwhile, Ben Foster was due to be backed by an ownership of just over 800,000 but will play no part in tonight’s match having been ruled out with a knee problem. Over 347,000 of his managers named Foster in their starting XI and now turn to their reserve keeper.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      I think that's the worst weekend Ive had in seven years of FF. 27 points.
      Kane Lukaku Vardy Ramsay Ritchie Alli.... Utterly useless. Defenders all one point. It's so bad it's laughable.
      Anyone out there even worse?

        @Mark

        Great idea.

        1) Line up lessons - part 1 (after the premier league games for teams NOT in Europe)

        2) Line up lessons - part 2 (after the champions league games for Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea and Man Utd)

        3) Line up lessons - part 3 (after the Europa league games for Arsenal and Everton)

        This way the predicted line ups for the weekend will be much more accurate.

            Team news article is poor for analysing recent team sheets. This idea is much better.

            How many times did today's line up lesson article say "the champions league game will provide further clues"?

          Right, think I have a soild core. Gotten rid of that useless oaf Brady and will stick to the plan and get Kun in for Lukaku gw10 and Daniels in for Clark gw11 after he hopefully drops. Hoping Vardy will have better games, WBA can always be a bit of a banana skin.

          are xG stats worth considering tbh. They don't take into account how clinical players are, so Morata and Vardy are never that high up but will consistently bring in the points surely?
