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.

      Lovely team!

      Shaqiri to richarlison and downgrade monreal?

      Honestly don't knwo...

      1. Champione
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Cheers. Monreal > Jones/Ward and Ritchie > Richarlison are potential moves

        1. We Will Klopp you
          9 years, 4 days ago

          Looks good, do with Jones, absolute bargain

          1. Champione
            9 years, 4 days ago

            cheers. Monreal > Jones looks really good

  2. Flynny
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Any advice in what to do here? And who to captain?? 0.9itb

    Fab (elliot)
    Luiz bavies jones wimmer (ward)
    Hazard Silva richarlison (rlc carroll)
    Kane jesus vardy

    Thanks

    1. Champione
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Jesus, Hazard and Kane all good captain options. Nice team for this week. Save FT imo

    2. We Will Klopp you
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Wait for CL to see how many mins Jesus gets, if he has them managed then captain him, if not, Hazard

    3. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 4 days ago

      save and captain Jesus depending on CL game

    4. Magic Bean
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Just Jesus to monitor

      1. Flynny
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Cheers guys.

        If Jesus plays 70-90 mins Toni would you still feel comfortable captaining him??

  3. Chief Brody
    9 years, 4 days ago

    I think that's the worst weekend Ive had in seven years of FF. 27 points.
    Kane Lukaku Vardy Ramsay Ritchie Alli.... Utterly useless. Defenders all one point. It's so bad it's laughable.
    Anyone out there even worse?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Nope, had a great week but had consecutive weeks of 21 and 24 in the 15/16 season so I know the feeling.

    2. Monkey Hanger
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Beat you by 1pt. Actual team scored 20pts, but then got 8pts autosub for Davies.

    3. Ligdon
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Got 32 -4 here almost identical

    4. Chief Brody
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Wouldn't mind if I thought my team was dreadful and I needed to wildcard. It's actually pretty decent, no injuries.

    5. J0E
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      9 years, 4 days ago

      Gwk 8-10 last year I got three 20 something scores in a row.

      One week of a score like that is nothing. 🙂

  4. F4L
    9 years, 4 days ago

    So much left to happen this week, no point considering transfers right now tbh

    1. Champione
      9 years, 4 days ago

      planning is always fun though 😉

      1. F4L
        9 years, 4 days ago

        haha yep 😀

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Might get Zaha in 😉

  5. Total Foot 5
    9 years, 4 days ago

    best move pls? thx (got sterling - jesus - bdavies)

    a keep Kane + Silva
    b -8 Kane + Silva -> Aguero + Eriksen
    c Wait for next week FT, and do -4 for Kane + Silva -> Aguero + Eriksen (risk aguero rising this week and maybe aguero scoring big pts)

  6. Zareos
    9 years, 4 days ago

    I bottomed out in the last page.

    Elliott (Foster)
    Alonso, Kolasniac, Davies, Fernandez (Long)
    Salah, Atsu, Carroll (Mooy, Chalobah)
    Kane, Lukaku, Jesus (c).

    1 FT and 1m ITB

    A. Save,
    B. Mooy to Richarilson, or
    C. Kolasniac and Mooy to Suttner and Sterling (-4)?

    1. Champione
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Mooy to Gross could be and option

  7. Team Cruel

    Mark somehow benched 15 points. Ouch.

    4. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 4 days ago

      probably around the mid 40's I would say

    5. We Will Klopp you
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Low

    6. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Average is 41, top 10k average is 46 so somewhere round those.

  9. Fred54

    Am I out of LMS?

    Break it to me gently First Post TM. :*(

      35 is going to be close.

      Been nice knowing you guys if I don't make the cut.

  10. Davido989

    Surviving LMS, in touching distance with rivals, still got WC. This is where it goes to pot 🙂

    1. F4L
      9 years, 4 days ago

      it went to pot the second Mane was out for 6 weeks 😐

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Wish I had mine. 2 Man Utd to 2 Man City for -4 would have been better 🙁

      1. Davido989
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Surprised with Hazard pick

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          9 years, 4 days ago

          Yeah, was Silva until late.

          1. Davido989
            9 years, 4 days ago

            Maybe Haz Vardy to Silva Morata

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              9 years, 4 days ago

              Got 3 City. 🙁

              1. Johqvist
                9 years, 4 days ago

                We basically have the same team, TM. (#81). Are you keeping Otamendi or are you looking at getting 3 attackers in?

                1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
                  9 years, 4 days ago

                  keep for now

                2. TorresMagic™
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  9 years, 4 days ago

                  Would need a -8 for a mid unless selling Hazard.

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 4 days ago

      When are you thinking of using it? I'm probably leaving it as late as possible, late December hopefully.

      1. Davido989
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Next international break

      2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Same here but my defence is in some serious need of surgery

    4. KingNidge

      Fook da Maywedders

      1. Davido989
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Leicester boys let you down thankfully

        1. KingNidge
          9 years, 4 days ago

          Aye not the best returns tonight had hoped for much more should have kept Rooney loool

  11. Magic Bean
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Lukaku or Kane to Aguero(if fit)?

    1. Champione
      9 years, 4 days ago

      no imo

    2. @fpl_phenom
      9 years, 4 days ago

      I think Kane to Aguero this week, then Lukaku to Morata next gw isn’t a bad strategy... get both back for better fixtures...

      1. Magic Bean
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Leaning towards Kane. Never thought I'd be thinking of getting him out

  12. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Ok 2FTs, Sterling is coming in..

    Foster Myhill
    Davies Bailly Kola
    BRADY ALLI Silva Gross
    Kane Jesus FIRMINO

    Alli & Firmino > Sterling & Morata - leaves me stuck with Brady and 0.1m ITB

    or

    Brady & Firmino > Sterling & Abraham - reasses Alli next week..? Either Liverpool mid or Pogba when fit?

    1. Champione
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Sterling and Morata

    2. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 4 days ago

      I would say A bit gross and Brady is too weak for half your midfield. would be tempted to downgrade a defender

      1. shirtless
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 4 days ago

        That’s my worry. Thinking if I do second option I could get Hazard for Alli somehow. Still got wildcard too. Big three just looks too top heavy!

  13. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 4 days ago

    @Mark

    Great idea.

    1) Line up lessons - part 1 (after the premier league games for teams NOT in Europe)

    2) Line up lessons - part 2 (after the champions league games for Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea and Man Utd)

    3) Line up lessons - part 3 (after the Europa league games for Arsenal and Everton)

    This way the predicted line ups for the weekend will be much more accurate.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      9 years, 4 days ago

      or just use the team news article?

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Team news article is poor for analysing recent team sheets. This idea is much better.

        How many times did today's line up lesson article say "the champions league game will provide further clues"?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          9 years, 4 days ago

          You tell me, I haven't read it yet.

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            9 years, 4 days ago

            Call yourself a mod 🙄

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              9 years, 4 days ago

              I'll read them after Europe 😉

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 4 days ago

      He'll probably have to increase the membership by a few quids to make that happen.

  14. RubberDucky
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Too soon for Zaha?

    Or Choupo a better bet?

    1. Champione
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Will get Zaha myself if I find a decent way

    2. We Will Klopp you
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Yeah, give him at least another gameweek imo, probably the next 3 unless he goes crazy

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Zaha over Chip Monti for sure. Looked surprisingly good and will play up front with Tekkers out.

    4. Big P
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Not convinced by Zaha, yet. Benteke not far away and Chopou much cheaper with excellent fixtures.

      It’s tougher than most on here are making out, IMO

      1. We Will Klopp you
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Agreed, the 1m price difference is huge at this stage

        1. Big P
          9 years, 4 days ago

          1.1m*

          😉

  15. F4L
    9 years, 4 days ago

    so the xG's are on course for a release tomorrow?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Already done.

      1. F4L
        9 years, 4 days ago

        nice

  16. We Will Klopp you
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Right, think I have a soild core. Gotten rid of that useless oaf Brady and will stick to the plan and get Kun in for Lukaku gw10 and Daniels in for Clark gw11 after he hopefully drops. Hoping Vardy will have better games, WBA can always be a bit of a banana skin.

    Elliott (Fabianski)
    Davies Jones Clark (Ward Rosenoir)
    Salah Sterling Silva Choupo (Chalobah)
    Kane (L)ukaku Vardy

  17. General_Zod
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Brady + Vardy >> Zaha + Morata (0 itb and -4)

    Yay or Nay?

    1. Big_Bear
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Yay

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Yes

  18. Big_Bear
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Thoughts on this team?

    DDG Elliot
    Jones Naughton Ward Kiko Lascelles
    Sanchez Salah Richarlison Zaha Sterling
    Morata Aguero Abraham

    Thinking of rotating Richarlison and Abraham for their home games (and having a top draw 1st sure.

    1. Johqvist
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Looks fine on paper but Richarlison have scored all of his goals away.

  19. Deulofail
    9 years, 4 days ago

    If all remain fit, which has the most potential for the next 4-6 weeks?

    A) Aguero + Richarlison (-4)
    B) Vardy + Coutinho/Sterling

    Thinking about pure points here, so forget about who I do and don't have, please 🙂

    1. Big_Bear
      9 years, 4 days ago

      A) 100%

    2. Yozzer
      9 years, 4 days ago

      A easily imo

    3. KingOllie
      9 years, 4 days ago

      A

    4. Deulofail
      9 years, 4 days ago

      How about Aguero + RLC this week, then Aguero + Richarlison next week (No hit), so I can get Richy for his good fixture instead of this week?

  20. Salarrivederci
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Lloris
    Monreal, Jones, Ake, Lascelles
    Hazard, Sterling, Silva, Carroll
    Kane, Lukaku

    (Elliot, March, Wood, Mbemba)

    0 FT
    0 ITB
    OP: 457

    Just hold this week?

    1. Big_Bear
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Good team. Hold

    2. We Will Klopp you
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Yes

  21. Bruno Bruno!!
    9 years, 4 days ago

    49 points all out after Carroll auto sub probably a red arrow started the GW at 332k

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Yep, a deep rich red one....

    2. KingOllie
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Grey arrow.
      Not.too bad as this gw was a weird one

    3. F4L
      9 years, 4 days ago

      should be green I would think. Just a small movement either way

    4. Squashed
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Im 52...sucks

  22. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 4 days ago

    No Vardy party. Still worth persisting with? Play well?

    1. Mull
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Not really. Hold for the Swansea game at the very least.

    2. We Will Klopp you
      9 years, 4 days ago

      It's WBA, give him at least the next couple imo

    3. Johqvist
      9 years, 4 days ago

      We might aswell keep him for next three and sort other things out.

  23. Old Wulfrunian
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Ramsey owners what we should do?

    1. Davido989
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Cry. And get rid. Thankfully I sold the geezer, waste of space.

      1. Old Wulfrunian
        9 years, 4 days ago

        cheers.Yes.Probably it was a rhetorical question.Maybe for Ritchie or Chupo.

    2. We Will Klopp you
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Not an owner but my advice is to run. Much prefer plenty of cheaper options: Richarlison, Choupo, potentially Zaha

  24. FPL Maldini
    9 years, 4 days ago

    FPL - F****ing Pot Luck

    It really has felt like it this season

  25. F4L
    9 years, 4 days ago

    are xG stats worth considering tbh. They don't take into account how clinical players are, so Morata and Vardy are never that high up but will consistently bring in the points surely?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      9 years, 4 days ago

      They are absolutely worth considering. And yes they still have to be taken in context.

  26. Dynamic Duos
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Who would you lose first Vardy or Laca?

    1. F4L
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Laca

    2. Squashed
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Laca

    3. We Will Klopp you
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Laca, horrible value for his price

  27. Fred54
    9 years, 4 days ago

    4 out 15 'succeses' for Scoutpicks and 2 of those from the bench.

    I'd mock but I only had 1 out 15 'success' in my own team with Sterling.

    #Warlocks

  28. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    9 years, 4 days ago

    9 of my players got me 15 pts 😎

    1. Flynny
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Bad luck..

  29. Flynny
    9 years, 4 days ago

    What is the maximum amount of mins Jesus plays tomorrow in order for you to still feel confident captaining him at weekend.

    He had a 3 day rest after napoli....

    If he plays 70 to 90 mins is he still a captaincy option?

    Thanks

  30. KingOllie
    9 years, 4 days ago

    I have Bellerin and Kolasinac.

    Worth shipping one for Stones? Or better to save FT
