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.

  1. Sterling is £11Mill..…

    I like how because Man U didnt score against Liverpool they are now defensively sound?? Kane will probably put like 4 past them

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

      They are defensively sound because they've only conceded 2 goals all season

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

        O right Liverpool. Spurs just don't beat us, Kane will get 1 goal max

      Doesn't Kane have a poor record vs Pool? Wouldn't captain if I had him.

    3. lugs
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Spurs haven't beaten Liverpool in 10 games

      1. #Swish41
        9 years, 3 days ago

        This is the time then...or number 11! I'm on a toss up of salah and Eriksen to Sterling. This is making me sway to Eriksen...

        1. lugs
          9 years, 3 days ago

          honestly i wouldn't sell either for Sterling , being at Wembley with lots of space for counter attacks i can see plenty of goals in this one so i wouldn't be surprised if both Salah & Erickson are in the points this week

          1. #Swish41
            9 years, 3 days ago

            Thanks Lugs, may rely on Silva. City and Sterling g are just on fire at the moment

  2. HD7
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Have you received your points from the bench player/s ?

    1. Johqvist
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Not yet

      1. HD7
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Think previous years they were faster with the updates... then again the fpl players were not 5 million...

        1. Johqvist
          9 years, 3 days ago

          Yeah they are usually always in by now but this is a crazy season indeed.

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 3 days ago

      No but look forward to get 8 for Carroll

      1. HD7
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Me too mate

  3. camarozz
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Hi guys.

    Would you sacrifice Vardy to get Sterling in for Ramsey this wk??

    And which striker would u suggest??

    Abraham? only cheap on form forward out there even tho he plays for Swansea.

    1. #Swish41
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Keeps scoring though!only a few points behind Kane!

  4. #Swish41
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Mooy / Firminho > Silva / Abraham worked a treat this week (for once) - plus 13 points.

    So...who to drop for Sterling:

    1. Salah (spurs then 3 weak teams)
    2. Eriksen (only palace easy game in next four)

    Surely Eriksen, as also have Kane? But sounds odd as he is the top scorer in the game...

    Thoughts? Cheers all!!

    1. #Swish41
      9 years, 3 days ago

      DDG
      Davies Jones Naughton (suttner)
      Silva Eriksen Salah Atsu (Carroll)
      Kane Lukaku Abraham

      Abraham > Morata when the time is right....

  5. Gunner77-
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Invested so much on high value defenders as they had easy fixtures and see result...

    1. #Swish41
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Yea unlucky this week

    What's the average points this game week?

    1. MTPockets
      9 years, 3 days ago

      40

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

    Looking to work to this gw11, can only look forwards as this gw has been meh, how does it look going forward?

    Fabianski (Elliott)
    Davies Jones DANIELS (Ward Rosenoir)
    Salah Silva Sterling Choupo (Chalobah)
    Kane AGUERO Vardy

    1. Magic Bean
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Why Lukaku out before Hud?

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

        For gw11, will do Kaku to Kun gw10, Kaku out before Hudds is asking to be bitten

        1. Magic Bean
          9 years, 3 days ago

          I don't know if I can take another Kane Kaku Vardy flop this week though. You're sticking by them i see?

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

            Yeah, expecting Kaku and Vardy to do well, not sure about Kane but I'll need him for gw11

  8. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Hart got an assist! Why is no-one talking about this

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Because nobody owns him lol

      Trust me we've heard enough about it from Dingo.

    4. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Pep will be in the market for Joe Hart soon

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

    Vardy is overpriced by about 1.5m. 7m would have been a fair price for him.

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 3 days ago

      To think he started at 10m last year 😆

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

        To think that I not only had him but also captained him in GW1 because I thought they would steamroll Hull.

        1. Johqvist
          9 years, 3 days ago

          The happiness when they were awarded a pen, only for Mahrez to walk up and take it.

  10. Fernando Torres
    9 years, 3 days ago

    A) Morata + Ritchie + Kola
    B) Vardy + Silva + Maguire/Daniels

    Thoughts?

    1. @fpl_phenom
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Neither

    2. General_Zod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Morata Richarlison Monreal or Morata Silva Hunemier (Duffy is injured)

  11. @fpl_phenom
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Fab
    Kola Davies Jones Naught
    Salah Mhki Atsu
    Kane Lukaku Jesus
    ———————————
    Elliot Carrol RLC Hunemeier

    £1.2M ITB 1FT
    After champions league games,
    Kola & Atsu > Mariappa & Sterling for a hit?

    Yah or nah?

    1. @fpl_phenom
      9 years, 3 days ago

      I dint think anyone could talk me out of this anyway , Kolasinac has been a massive disappointment and waste of money! Sterling / City looking red hot at the moment

      1. Marc OverMata
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Just do mkhi>sterling, mkhi needs a rest and I see the Huddersfield game after the CL as a good opportunity

    2. #Swish41
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Looks a no brainier for me, although Davies is starting to annoy me being rested

      1. @fpl_phenom
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Apparently nothing serious.... Id expect him to play v Liverpool at the weekend... Kolasinac seems more of an immediate problem given his price and returns + I really want to get more city cover ....

        1. #Swish41
          9 years, 3 days ago

          Agreed

        2. scottmac
          9 years, 3 days ago

          Davies is a worry for me as Rose looks like he could be back on the scene.
          With him being rested previously, without Rose being on the scene this doesn't bode well

  12. #Swish41
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Salah or Eriksen > Sterling?

    Or neither and rely on Silva?

    1. @fpl_phenom
      9 years, 3 days ago

      I’d be pretty happy with Eriksen Salah and Silva in midfield

      1. #Swish41
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Thanks...probably trying to be too greedy!

        1. @fpl_phenom
          9 years, 3 days ago

          Obviously just 2 premium strikers?

          1. #Swish41
            9 years, 3 days ago

            Yea, Kane, Lukaku, Abraham (which has worked nicely). Will get Morata when he is back. I like city, but too much rest/rotation up front for 11m

            1. @fpl_phenom
              9 years, 3 days ago

              So Morata Lukaku Abraham going forward for you?

              1. #Swish41
                9 years, 3 days ago

                Probably a big 3 with Kane, but you don't know this year, lots of 2-3 week injuries

        2. @fpl_phenom
          9 years, 3 days ago

          Thoughts on above plan?

          1. #Swish41
            9 years, 3 days ago

            See above. Easy decision

    1. TorresMagic™

      Low to mid 30s probably.

        Nice one MT, have you seen the news on there about the rule change they've found?

        Think that's a game changer for them, should be way more accurate now...

        1. MTPockets
          9 years, 3 days ago

          I hadn't but have now - it's about response to a flag change.

    still frustrated with Simpson.... with their only chance WBA scored and he was wvwn set up for the 3BPs ...

  16. Patch
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Moving to 4-4-2 to prolong the WC for GW12:

    Courtois (WAT), Foster (sou)

    Dawson (sou), Adam Smith (stk), Danilo (BUR), Zanka (MUN), Mee (MCI).

    Sterling (BUR), Mata (HUD), Alli (LIV), Knockaert (whu), Shaqiri (BOU), Chalobah (che).

    Lukaku (HUD-C), Kane (LIV-V)

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Forget it, needs a WC

    2. @fpl_phenom
      9 years, 3 days ago

      6 mids

    3. Patch
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Chelsea will dominate Watford after the Crystal Epic Fail (hopefully Batboy does play)

      Man U will dominate so that shud get me average points

      Spurs will hopefully do better this time...

      Maybe there will be an exosion on form from Knock and Shaqiri...

    4. #Swish41
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Hmm, not much positive to be said for this lot I'm afraid. Wildcard.

  17. #Swish41
    9 years, 3 days ago

    So...who to drop for Sterling:

    1. Salah (spurs then 3 weak teams)
    2. Eriksen (only palace easy game in next four)

    Surely Eriksen, as also have Kane? But sounds odd as he is the top scorer in the game...

    Thoughts? Cheers all!!

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Crazy to get rid of Eriksen IMO

      1. #Swish41
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Probably right, I might be getting too greedy!

    2. @fpl_phenom
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Who’s your other mids? There must be another way, he’s only 8 mil

    3. Gruu
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Eriksen. Sterling or Silva has better chance thank Eriksen in the next 2 gw. Get him back in gw11 or gw 13

      1. #Swish41
        9 years, 3 days ago

        That's what I am thinking!

  18. Dynamic Duos

    My strike force has annoyed me and my team feels week for gwk9.

    Laca Kane Vardy

    1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      9 years, 3 days ago

      all could score, and lottery of who u take out and who u bring in. I think all of the big stikers have potential to score this gw some with very nice fixtures like Lukaku

    2. Gruu
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Same front 3. What is your plan? upgrade Laca to Jesus?

  19. Monkey Hanger

    Would really appreciate people's opinions on this comparison. Which group of players is better to have after this game week.
    Valencia,Aguero,Morata,Jesus,Zaha VS
    Lukaku,Kane,Mawson,Jesus,ChoupM

    1. nkhoughton
      9 years, 3 days ago

      The latter

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      9 years, 3 days ago

      The first lot

    3. Goat
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Defo top one. When you compare them 1 on 1 it’s an easy choice

  22. The Royal Robin
    9 years, 3 days ago

    49 all out. Foster getting injured isn't helpful!

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      9 years, 3 days ago

      same here RR, 49 all out after -8 hit.

      1. The Royal Robin
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Ouch. I've already done my transfers, my first hit of the season!

        Chalobah + Chich > Zaha + Tammy (-4)

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          9 years, 3 days ago

          haha yep, hurts a little, but team is kinda the way i want it now as a result.
          Loving the Zaha move, Abraham i feel people will be burnt more often than not, but still wish buyers teh best of luck.

          1. The Royal Robin
            9 years, 3 days ago

            Got to be better than Chicharito though, right?!

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              9 years, 3 days ago

              Oh for sure! haha!

    2. Dynamic Duos
      9 years, 3 days ago

      69 all out

  23. Turns
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Bottomed.
    (A) Alli - D Silva
    (B) Alli -> Richarlison and Vardy -> Aguero for a hit (assuming Aguero fit)

    Fabianski
    Naughton - Cedric - Maguire - Jones
    Alli - Sterling - Salah
    Kane - Lukaku - Vardy

    Think A is safer, but Vardy was so crap tonight

  24. mattmcc
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Potential wildcard team:
    Butland Ryan
    Cedric Otamendi Davies Femeina Mbemba
    De Bruyne Salah Richarlison Gross Carroll
    Lukaku Jesus Wood

    This leaves me with £1.4m in the bank.

    Thoughts?

    1. #Swish41
      9 years, 3 days ago
