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.

    2. Sánchez

      King, not sure he can be called a threat.

    4. Sims

    7. dark91

      2 people in my mini league own Okazaki

  4. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

    Lol @ Hegazi owners

  5. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Hegazi has spent 8 minutes trying to get carded

  6. sminkypinky
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Mahrez looks bloody useless.

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

      Maybe, but you know he's not, His heart wants away from the KP.

  7. Syd.
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Mahrez thinking that he is Messi again

    1. Sims
      9 years, 3 days ago

      has more pfa poty awards than messi

  8. sminkypinky
    9 years, 3 days ago

    This game looks below par...

    1. sminkypinky
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Or are my expectations too high?

  9. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Draw bet looks in the bag.
    Jubbly.

  10. Konstaapeli
    9 years, 3 days ago

    On WC. Who to pick?

    A) Monreal
    B) VVD
    C) Maguire
    D) PVA
    E) Other 5.5

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

      Jones

      1. Konstaapeli
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Got him.

    2. Konstaapeli
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Other def's are Jones, Fernandez, Mee, Mariappa

    3. GuyIncognito
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Monreal is the only player on that list I'd even consider. VvD especially didn't look bothered against Newcastle.

      1. Konstaapeli
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Yep. He's currently my choice.

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

        This, except I probably wouldn't even consider Monreal. Bavies, Jones and 4.5 4.5 would do me.

        1. GuyIncognito
          9 years, 3 days ago

          I'm going Bavies, Jones, Aké, Kiko, goofball

        2. Konstaapeli
          9 years, 3 days ago

          Could do Jones, Bavies, Mee, Yedlin, Humenier.

    4. sminkypinky
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Maguire has the fixtures, likes baps and is a bit of an attacking threat. He would be my choice.

    5. Arn De Gothia
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Mertesacker at 4.9 could be Good value

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

        Said no one ever

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

    Every time there is a MNF I place Hegazi on the bench. Every time Bavies doesn't play for some odd reason while Spurs get the CS. Every time I get a big fat blank from Hegazi coming in on the Monday night.

  12. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights

    Another 0-0 I reckon. Predicted the Liverpool one fairly early and this looks the same

  13. Royal5
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Hegazi looks terrible.

    1. Rash
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Cant wait to ship him on

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      9 years, 3 days ago

      My cousin fancies him.

    Apologies if you heard some bad language on the telly.

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

      Vardy screaming at the cameras again?

      1. Differentiator
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Vardy screamer

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

      The FFFFFFFFFFFFoxes FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFans are not very clever with language. It's not the place to take the vicar's daughter.

  15. Ribus
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Salah to drop tonight?

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

      Very possible.

  16. Red Dagger ✪
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 3 days ago

    I put $1000 on a 0-0. My bookie has already paid me out $750.

    1. Sims
      9 years, 3 days ago

      i wouldn't gamble with such a big amount

      1. Red Dagger ✪
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 3 days ago

        I do it all the time. But poker is my game mostly.

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

      I put $1million on 0-0.. My bookie just blow his brains out.

      1. Red Dagger ✪
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Very nice.

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 3 days ago

      He'll soon reclaim it.

  17. the snazzy viking
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Chadlol

  18. Ha.
    9 years, 3 days ago

    I remember when Chadli was good

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

      He was excellent in that game.

      1. Ha.
        9 years, 3 days ago

        All 30 minutes of it

  19. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    9 years, 3 days ago

    This is how dire things are: I’m hoping King don’t come on so that I can bag Surmans two points.

  20. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Chadli no longer essential

    1. Differentiator
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Rondon key

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

        WBA talisman

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

    Didn't Chadli score 18 points in a game last season? And then do absolutely nothing after his goal vs Spurs?

  22. Royal5
    9 years, 3 days ago

    This game lacks quality.

      9 years, 3 days ago

      Talking to someone who watched South Shields v Hartlepool on Saturday.

  23. Rainer
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Vardy fail confirmed?

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

      I hope so...

    2. Ha.
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Nah, destined to score

  24. Numb
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Sky know how to pick these games!

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

      We can't all play like Man City all the time. Or even some of the time.

  25. Rash
    9 years, 3 days ago

    I notice hegazi switched with Evans to get out of vardys favourite channel. Hopefully spare him from the red card

    1. Differentiator
      9 years, 3 days ago

      carrier pigeon?

  26. KingNidge
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Chances of Vardy returns don't look overly promising

  27. RAFA THE GAFFA
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Everyone asleep yet?

  28. n-doggg
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Man it must be dry being a West Brom attacker. So so dull to watch

  29. the snazzy viking
    9 years, 3 days ago

    I need Leicester to score and win 1-0 with no Vardy involvement

  30. cjhewitt92
    9 years, 3 days ago

    What is biggest priority to change this week

    A) Tripper out for Cresswell or Maguire. Have Bavies

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