Dugout Discussion – Leicester vs West Brom

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.

    Lol @ Hegazi owners

  5. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years

    Hegazi has spent 8 minutes trying to get carded

  6. sminkypinky

    Mahrez looks bloody useless.

    1. Old Man
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe, but you know he's not, His heart wants away from the KP.

  7. Syd.

    Mahrez thinking that he is Messi again

    1. Sims
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      has more pfa poty awards than messi

  8. sminkypinky

    This game looks below par...

    1. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Or are my expectations too high?

  9. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

    Draw bet looks in the bag.
    Jubbly.

  10. Konstaapeli

    On WC. Who to pick?

    A) Monreal
    B) VVD
    C) Maguire
    D) PVA
    E) Other 5.5

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Jones

      1. Konstaapeli
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Got him.

    2. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Other def's are Jones, Fernandez, Mee, Mariappa

    3. GuyIncognito
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Monreal is the only player on that list I'd even consider. VvD especially didn't look bothered against Newcastle.

      1. Konstaapeli
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yep. He's currently my choice.

      2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        This, except I probably wouldn't even consider Monreal. Bavies, Jones and 4.5 4.5 would do me.

        1. GuyIncognito
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I'm going Bavies, Jones, Aké, Kiko, goofball

        2. Konstaapeli
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Could do Jones, Bavies, Mee, Yedlin, Humenier.

    4. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Maguire has the fixtures, likes baps and is a bit of an attacking threat. He would be my choice.

    5. Arn De Gothia
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Mertesacker at 4.9 could be Good value

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Said no one ever

  11. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Every time there is a MNF I place Hegazi on the bench. Every time Bavies doesn't play for some odd reason while Spurs get the CS. Every time I get a big fat blank from Hegazi coming in on the Monday night.

  12. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Another 0-0 I reckon. Predicted the Liverpool one fairly early and this looks the same

  13. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Hegazi looks terrible.

    1. Rash
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Cant wait to ship him on

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      My cousin fancies him.

  14. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Apologies if you heard some bad language on the telly.

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

      Vardy screaming at the cameras again?

      1. Differentiator
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Vardy screamer

    2. Old Man
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      The FFFFFFFFFFFFoxes FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFans are not very clever with language. It's not the place to take the vicar's daughter.

    Salah to drop tonight?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years

      Very possible.

    I put $1000 on a 0-0. My bookie has already paid me out $750.

    1. Sims
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      i wouldn't gamble with such a big amount

      1. Red Dagger ✪
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I do it all the time. But poker is my game mostly.

    2. Catenaccio FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      I put $1million on 0-0.. My bookie just blow his brains out.

      1. Red Dagger ✪
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        Very nice.

    3. Old Man
      • 12 Years

      He'll soon reclaim it.

    Chadlol

  18. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    I remember when Chadli was good

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He was excellent in that game.

      1. Ha.
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        All 30 minutes of it

  19. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    This is how dire things are: I’m hoping King don’t come on so that I can bag Surmans two points.

  20. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Chadli no longer essential

    1. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Rondon key

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        WBA talisman

  21. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Didn't Chadli score 18 points in a game last season? And then do absolutely nothing after his goal vs Spurs?

  22. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    This game lacks quality.

      Talking to someone who watched South Shields v Hartlepool on Saturday.

  23. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Vardy fail confirmed?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I hope so...

    2. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Nah, destined to score

  24. Numb
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Sky know how to pick these games!

    1. Old Man
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      We can't all play like Man City all the time. Or even some of the time.

  25. Rash
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    I notice hegazi switched with Evans to get out of vardys favourite channel. Hopefully spare him from the red card

    1. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      carrier pigeon?

  26. KingNidge
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Chances of Vardy returns don't look overly promising

  27. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Everyone asleep yet?

  28. n-doggg
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Man it must be dry being a West Brom attacker. So so dull to watch

  29. the snazzy viking
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    I need Leicester to score and win 1-0 with no Vardy involvement

  30. cjhewitt92
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    What is biggest priority to change this week

    A) Tripper out for Cresswell or Maguire. Have Bavies

    B) Foster out for Fab or Hart. Elliot other goalkeeper
