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.

    Having a torrid time of it at the moment. Any suggestions on how to fix this with 2FTs and £2.1m in the bank?

    Foster, Elliot
    Cedric, Jones, Naughton, Mee, Mbemba
    Salah, Mkhitaryan, Ritchie, Carroll, RLC
    Morata, Kane, Lukaku

    Cedric, Mkhitaryan, Ritchie and Foster are my big problems at the moment.
    Desperately need to get Man City cover in.

    Keep Morata or move to Jesus?
    Mkhitaryan to Sterling a no brainer?
    At his price, is Ritchie worth keeping hold of?

      Popular move is Mhki > Sterling / Silva

        Was holding off to see what the Aguero situation was. Carroll played instead of Morata so actually didn't work out too bad really. Can't do both, unfortunately. Might just do Mkhi > Sterling this week and roll the extra transfer until next week
