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.

    Iheanacho doesn’t look as good when he isn’t surrounded by world class players.. surprising really.

    Nacho doesn't suit Leicester. Too similar to Vardy. Get Okazaki on.

      I don't understand why Slimani never gets a look in.

    no foster................are you frikin kidding me

    Need to get rid of the 3 donkeys in my team, Vardy, Lukaku and Kane.

    1. Catenaccio FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Vardy--->Wood, Lukaku--->Abraham, Kane--->Okazaki.. Thank me later.

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

        Prefer Kane -> Hemed

        1. Catenaccio FC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          That's too differential for my liking.

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

      Don't bother, you'll hate your team whoever you get in 😉

  5. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    If you had to sell one of those big hitters what option would you choose:

    A) Eriksen > Silva/Sterling
    B) Salah > Silva/Sterling
    C) Aguero > Jesus
    D) Kane > Lukaku

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

      All horrible choices, but C as both rotation risks (ish)

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I know. It's WC and need to make one of those decisions.

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

        Kun was clear winner before the car crash. Jesus was playing curacao cups and on bench/wing in PL.

        1. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          so what move you suggest?

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

            Keep Kun 😀

            None of them are really tempting. But A woud be my choice if you spend the change well.

            1. Lone Wolf FPL
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              I saw your WC and my is quite similar. Try to squeeze Eriksen, Salah, Kun, Kane and Morata plus Richarlison and Zaha who looked very good and are underpriced.
              On A option atm but it's really not easy call.

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

                It's impossible to get it right. I keep finding my self .1 or .2 short of every _acceptable_ team 😀

    Is Firmino still on pens?

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Salah might be.

      Just get rid already.

    4. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years

      Should have sold him ages ago

      1. Blanka
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Sometimes bigger fish to fry! He was near 'essential' at one point lol.

  7. Big_Andy_GAWA

    This game is brutal so far...!

    Why put WBA on MNF zzzzzzz

  10. nkhoughton
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    This game will be all the more boring if West Brom score first

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

    Not sure what Leicester's gameplan is here. Not even using Mahrez in the build up. And playing two quick strikers against a deep WBA.

    Terrible. It's very poor. You can see West Brom are set up to frustrate and catch Leicester on the break but the quality is really poor.
    From Leicester's point of view, the partnership between Vardy and Iheanacho isn't working.
