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.

    Magu close.

    Just because Vardy makes sure he jumps into the box doesn't mean it's a penalty.

      Slow-mo shows it was just outside.

    A 1-1 draw with no Vardy involvement would likely mean a win for Mozampique

    Fingers crossed..

    Ugh West Brom playing for the draw. Pathetic

      If it was Man Utd, Jose Mourhino would be getting called a genius

        He's so boring

          Man City is such a better watch

        No he wouldn't, he's been slammed by everyone including utd fans this weekend.

      (On 431 points post wc for perspective)

      I'm backing Morata's head against Watford if he plays

      and

      Zaha for the rest of the season after making mincemeat of Chelsea (no bonus? wtf?)

      Something's going on with Mkh if you ask me. Not been lasting 90, visibly struggling. He can go.

    2. Plant Based FPLer

      I should say I haven't watched Mkh since Everton. I liked his finish on that goal but brought myself to trade him right then anyway.

    Mahrez??

  12. Syd.
    • 15 Years

    3 points for Mahrez

  13. Oven Glover
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Myhill out?

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

    That would have been a good combo, too...

  15. TorresMagic™

    Myhill looks gone.

  16. Numb

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years

      My stream is obviously slow!

  17. Jay_

      Foster/Myhill owners not looking good. 0 points and 0 GK potentially

      1. Oven Glover
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Bound to be lots of those

      2. Jay_
          6 years, 8 months ago

          He's ok

      3. Royal5
        • 12 Years

        Myhill dead

        Seemed almost geometrically impossible to kick the ball over the goal at that range and speed.

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

          But it wasn’t.

            • 9 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Clearly. Thanks, I wasn’t sure I saw it correctly.

            1. Ha.
              • 8 Years

              No worries

      5. VFORVANDETA
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Myhill down.

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Up

      6. KKluigi
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Salah + Romeu —> Richarlison + Zaha?

      7. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Myhill needs to do some ab work.

      8. Judders
        • 7 Years

        The great Foster/Myhill combo aint looking too smart now hahaha

          Too early.

        Who West Brom 3rd Gk?

        1. Fred54
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          He's about to band wagon whoever he is...

      10. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Alex Palmer essential

      11. Patch
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Oh dear this might reduce likelihood of Hegazi being subbed before 60th mark...

      12. Dybala10
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Should have sold Mahrez to Roma. One season wonder.

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

        I have Silva and Jesus. Is adding sterling overkill? especially with champ league rotation.

        1. Plant Based FPLer
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Let me be the first to say I have absolutely no idea.

      14. Peace-o
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Would love to see Alex Palmer up against City, Spurs and Chelsea in his next few games.

        *triple captain for city activated*

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

          Pulis will be forced to play a 4th defensive midfielder to make up for it.

        West Brom don't want a Party.
