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.

    Any chance Okazaki goes in? Need him to block those rivals Carroll points.

    Sorry about earlier post, should just ask, best defender 5.5 up?

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

      Jones

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

      Davies

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

        Will he continue to start?

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

          Rose hasn't played for almost a year, I think Davies will start for a while yet

        2. 1966 was a great year for E…
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Poch rotated his wing-backs towards the end of last season, might be a wait and see.

      defo not mee..nor you

  3. Slippy

    Should I keep Mahrez now?

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

      Mahrez owner spotted

      1. Slippy
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah yeah... Had him for 2 weeks. Will probably try and end on a high and ship him after this.

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

      No

    3. MikeDuff
      • 9 Years

      Yes

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

      Well you haven't changed your team since the 15/16 season, why start now?

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

        Brutal!

        1. Slippy
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          lol. got him 2 weeks ago for the good fixtures.

        Ouch

    5. FPL Notebook (John)
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I was an owner until I brought in Sterling for him for this gw. Mixed feelings - delighted with Sterlings points, but annoyed Mahrez waited until now to score

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

      Mahrez -> Michu -4

    There's no party on Mondays

  5. Croaker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Does it make sense to replace Alonso with Otamendi or am I just going to end up kicking myself given Chelsea’s fixtures for the rest of the year? Would leave me with 1.5 in the bank to upgrade to another 6m defender or midfielder...

    1. Winners900
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Wait 2 gmw

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      will you not want 3 city attackers at some point?

    3. Croaker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Have Silva and Sterling and no plan to bring in a MC striker, so I reckon a defender would be ok

  6. cjhewitt92
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    What is biggest priority to change this week in your guys opinion

    A) Tripper out for Cresswell or Maguire. Have Bavies

    B) Foster out for Fab or Hart. Elliot other goalkeeper

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

      Neither

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

        This

        If they're your only "issues" I'd save a FT

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

      Wait for news on foster injury.
      See who plays in CL for Spurs.

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

    45 all out. Just below par I reckon

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

      Expecting the average to go up 8 today?!

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

        Plenty of Joneses and Carrolls autosubbed in I bet

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

          Not 5 million of them!

    2. MikeDuff
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      No but among people who actually play...

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

    The sad thing is that Hegazi isn't even top 5 on the list of players I have to get rid of. He'll be stinking up the place for a while yet.

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      ...at least you get a Tom Carroll autosub!

      1st bench in my team...however I get Kevin Wimmer as my consolation prize 🙁

  9. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

      FFF have the average going up by 5 points tonight, that must include autosubs as FPL Discovery is showing only up 0.9 before bonus (and autosubs).

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

        Yep, LMS similar.

      2. *Reformed-Character*
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        You got it big J

      3. Jay_
          8 years, 5 months ago

          0.9 top 1k, 1.3 overall *

        • GAMBIT
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Think it does include autosubs because it has added my Tom Carroll points to my score

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

        Average up 1.3 for this game.

        1. Bald Eagle
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          4 with autosubs?

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

          2 from Vardy. 😀 Smashing the average to pieces like in my Glory days.

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

            150%

            Don’t knock it...

      5. CloudSky
        • 9 Years

        Wasnt there a party scheduled for today?

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

        Vardy -> ?

        A) Quaner
        B) J. Ayew
        C) G. Murray

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

        Davies and King owners getting a solid point if 1st on the bench

        1. Pasqualinho
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Not so bad with Mbemba and Chalobah as your other subs.

      8. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        This is the worst possible result as a Hegazi and Vardy owner

      9. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        8 points from the front three (including captain)

        4 points from my back 4

        Excellent

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

          If your mid did well that's probably an above average week nonetheless 🙂

        2. *Reformed-Character*
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Decent

      10. Darth_Krid
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Had such high hopes for Vardy tonight, thoroughly disappointed 🙁

      11. COYS.
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        51 points on wildcard .. with 2 players not playing ozakazi and Alexis Sanchez

        1. Patch
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          What's your WC team? I would have tort you went Chelsea heavy....not bad points you got there

          1. COYS.
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            Nah team was pretty bad.. Hazard (c) Coutinho and Sanchez.. what was I thinking
            Jesus and sterling saved my week

      12. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        What do people think of my WC team;

        Might swap Jesus to Aguero if he plays some minutes tomorrow.

        Hart
        Kolasniac / Davies / Jones
        Eriksen / Salah / Sterling / Gross
        Kane / Jesus / Abraham

        Elliot / Mee / Naughton / Carroll

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

          Nice

        2. MikeDuff
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          For value on WC Zaha would be one of the first names in

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

          Lovely, just no kolasinac

            Good if you are a maverick Mahrez owner.
