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.

    Hahaha where are them really intelligent ppl who were berating Chadli....
    On a more positive note, Vardy might do something now...

      Less likely to do anything

    Banking on those Evans cleanie points. Any chance Pulis takes him off? 😛

      Its Jevans, he'll get injured soon

      Let the Gods of football have some mercy. I want that cleanie for WestBrom and the 3 bps for Evans.

    Why hasn't Iheanacho assist been added? He created the FK for the goal?

  9. battystutor
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    For a goalkeeper of Schmeichel’s supposed quality, he doesn’t half ship in some cheap goals.

  10. KingOllie

    Leicester dont like clean sheets when they dont get pizza

  11. Syd.
    • 15 Years

    Evans had Vardy in his back pocket

  12. COYS.

    Why are they not subbing Myhill ?

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      A red might get a few belly laughs

      1. 1966 was a great year for E…

    Okazaki's value going up given Nacho's performance in this game

    I warned you all about Vardy.
    The sad thing is i picked him up myself.

    1. Aston-villain
      • 8 Years

      This makes no sense

    2. *Reformed-Character*

      Zero sense made

      Evans 3
      Chadli 2
      Dawson 1

      (It was Simpson 3, Maguire 2 before goal)

    • Athletic Nasherbo

      Don’t think I’ve seen Ndidi play a forward pass...

      1. Adams6

      West Brom games are like watching paint dry

        Sterling, City are scoring for fun.

        Your random full stops are triggering my OCD.

        6 years, 8 months ago

        I'm going Coutinho just because I like him more as player but Sterling is in a muche better team with better finishers.

      Now they are one ahead...the desperation to keep out these hot head leic folks could mean a red card...come on Hegazi defend erratically and get us that red card!!

    • HD7

      Simspon was heading for 9pts and then from their first shot on target... Damn!

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

        Really frustrating. Schmeicel was way too much on the right side.

    • Royal5
      • 12 Years

      Schmeichel having a mare

    • Meinhoff
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Might just play Flappyhandski over Elliot again, Leicester are crap

    • Hooky
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Slimani, Okazaki and Gray on please

    • battystutor
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Ndidi terrible. Too labored in possession, can’t make a forward pass.

    • The Enlightener
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      C'mon Vardy. I wanna party.
