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.

    Slimani is good at football and should start games for Leicester.

      He is good with his head at football. His feet don't even recognize the object

    Why was Simpson subbed? Injury or because they finally worked out that's he's bad?

    Maguire SOT

    Probably the only ever time I've not wanted a player to score in my side

  8. BrockLanders

    TAA and Mooy to Babayoko and Yoshida?

    Y or N? Both should have been long gone.

    1. GAMBIT
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I'd get rid of them but not for those two

      1. Stupendous
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Ideas? No cash to use just value of both

  10. Patch

    That's what you get for not subbing, Pulis you amateur!

  11. Gudjohnsen

    Alli, Mee to Sterling, Ben Davies?

    1. Robe Wan

      Might not be the best time to get Beavis as Rose is back.

    4. Plant Based FPLer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      FYI, Alli started slow / out of shape last year as well. Maybe he's a little out of sync with the squad which is playing CL as well, I don't know. What's the rest of your team?

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers. Guess he'll be more suited to an open game?

    2. Pat Bonner

        Lukaku's turn this week

      • Plant Based FPLer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        If Aguero is back I don't know. I did this week but might go with Hazard/Morata if Aguero is looming. What a headache, huh?

    3. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years

      Chadli for Macauley is the type of substitution I expect from Pulis. What a league.

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Saw a stat earlier today that TP has managed 317 games, and his sides have scored a total of 316 goals...

        And that includes the 4-3 Liverpool saga!

        1. Adams6
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          I bet that stat is actually including opposition goals too

    4. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      McAuley assist?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        He only scores.

    5. HD7
      • 9 Years

      Couldnt they sub Simspon around 63rd minute 🙁

    6. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      No goals for the rest of the game would make this a historic win for Mozampique

    7. COYG
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Vardy and mariappa to abraham and otamendi, stones, valencia, bavies, jones for free?

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years

        Wow wish I could do that

      2. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        You started off okay and then just started listing off players as if your connection was about to go out.

        Loveyoumombyesay...

      Would welcome that proposed rule with the clock stopped when it goes out of play. West Brom might get relegated

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        West Brom games wouldn't end until after the World Cup if they added such a rule.

        1. Differentiator
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

      2. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Game would finish at midnight

      3. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        The ball out of play is often the best bit.

    9. Sergeant Slaughter
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Most points, next six weeks?:
      A) Aguero
      B) Kane

      1. MikeDuff
        • 9 Years

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years

        Yes
