Gameweek 11 gets off to an inauspicious start at the bet365 stadium, as Stoke City host Leicester City.

For Fantasy managers, this will prove a serene introduction to the ten fixtures, with few notable assets on show in the early kick-off.

Nonetheless, it provides another opportunity to scout the Foxes potential under new manager Claude Puel.

While Leicester impressed in the 2-0 win over Everton – with Demarai Gray and Riyad Mahrez catching the eye – Puel’s tactics for an away match will give us further clarity on their prospects.

Unfortunately, we’re robbed of the chance to assess another potential asset in Ben Chilwell; the cut-price defender – played on the left-flank against Everton – is ruled out with a knee problem.

For Stoke, the main interest lies with Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, perhaps a key midfield bargain for Gameweeks to come.

The Cameroonian has fired 20 shots in home matches, a tally matched only by Mohamed Salah among midfielders. Choupo-Moting looks to be deployed up front for the Potters and takes a 6% ownership into this match.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      close? the ball was at least 10 metres from the goal

    Moting is absolutely awful.

      I own him and he is a crap player. Young English players should be getting a game ahead of him.

        Hot brexit takes are the best takes.

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years

          Nothing to do with Brexit. But we could have a good England team if some of the U21s were given an opportunity.

            Which of them play up front for Stoke?

            A managers job is to win football matches. They play the players that give them the best chance to do that. Mark Hughes is also english.

              Welsh but a good point nonetheless.

      I'll not be jumping on him any time soon. Rubbish

  3. Lazy Sun Days

    Definitely binning Vardy, not worth the extra money over Abraham.

      ye it’s a tough decision - down to budget or up to morata

      thinking downwards atm unless morata shows me something tomorrow

        Downwards it is then (morata owner)

  6. Rainer

    This is a good game for Vardy to come on.

  8. shearer9

    I bench Maguire and what does he do? He gets an assist. Hoping Davies doesn't play now.

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      He wont

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years

      Bound to have happened because you benched him.

    3. Pep says
      • 10 Years

      A Davies clean sheet will be at least 6 pts so I'm not sure it matters..

  9. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years

    Choupo-Mating has only returned at home. Might start rotating him. Hazard lite.

        1. Differentiator
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Clearly a Morgan assist. Touched his hair

            Hahah

      Maguire assist now confirmed.

    • CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      After Opta review, the assist for Leicester's goal is awarded to Maguire. He gets the final touch before the ball arrives with Iborra

      Vardy please get out of my team.

      1. thunder_mike
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Yep, bringing Abraham in for him. Might be tempted by Grey at that price though.

    • Rainer
      • 9 Years

      BREAKING: Maguire assist has been confirmed.

    • VFORVANDETA

      Cheers Magu owners.

    • Lazy Sun Days
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      It's Mahrez fault we didn't get Vardy returns, greedy little **** didn't pass to him when Vardy was gonna have a free shot on goal.

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        or Vardy is just bad?

        1. The Overthinker
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Nah. Mahrez fckd it by not passion.

      2. SuperMane Returns
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Vardy, come back when you're a PFA player of the year.

      3. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Mahrez didn't get an invite to the last Vardy Party

    • DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Shaqiri is great value. 2 assists and 1 goal in 4 games since i brought him in, and 3 great fixtures coming up. Expecting a bandwagon, and a nice rise to my TV.

      1. Rash
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Nice work. Think I'll be avoiding though

      2. VFORVANDETA
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Nicely done.

      3. ChampChomp
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Nice sales pitch. I still won't be going near, way too frustrating to own

        1. DAZZ
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah he hasnt done anything wrong for me, in fact the only thing i was annoyed about was him not being involved in any of the 3 at city haha. Ill be swapping to Richarlison in 3 GW's depending on form and injuries, atm there is no need to get rid!

          1. ChampChomp
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            He's a streaky player and they are all about timing. Looks like got him at the right time

    • DJDave1979
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Find it odd people trying to suggest Maguire didn't deserve his assist. It was excellent work and makes me wonder why I don't own him. He's really very good.

      1. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        He’s been pretty shocking at the back so far today

      2. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Happens for every disputed (to be confirmed) assists, people will argue depending on if they have him in their team or not

        Same scenario happened for the possible Richarlison ban when he dived v Arsenal

        1. Igor! Pulis(w)ic!
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Richarlison was auditioning for a big money move to Arsenal by emulating legendary 'Invincible' Robert Pires 😉

      3. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        It's been frustrating to own him TBH.

        Finally got points last week (and now this week too) after 5-6 weeks of owning.

        Leicester are one of those teams that leak one goal...hardly keep CSes even against bad opponents

      4. Football Weekender
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I’m not fussed either way about the assist but excellent work and made you wonder why you don’t own him?! Come on, he went up for a standard aerial challenge and got the final touch before it dropped to a teammate 😆 That’s basic Sunday league stuff.

    • Kjoreilly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy scored last week and should have been played in by Mahrez today.

      45mins to go, people need to chill

    • Shultan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      For those of us struggling with the 3rd striker spot in their teams is it worth switching to 3-5-2?
      Lots of cheap mids like richarlison/CM/gross chipping away with consistent points...& zaha with great fixtures

      1. Kun Tozser
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Done just that this week!

      2. SuperMane Returns
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        All the cool kids had 3-5-2 ages ago

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          300k drop since the switch - but good to know that I'm cool at least 😆

      3. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I did it 3 weeks ago.

        Mind you, most of the time it's switched to 3-4-3 anyway because of benched mids (Ramsey and then Sterling).

      4. Distinctly Average
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        That's the justification I'm using to go big three up top funnily enough!

      5. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I'm already there.

        Of course I went for Diouf as my cheapo striker...just as Mark Hughes put him back to rightback after 3 weeks of scoring...FFS! 😆

      6. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I switched to 4-4-2 on WC and doing fine. Didn't fancy any 3rd striker options and prefer Hazard over Morata.

    • Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Beautiful assist from C-M.

    • Lazy Sun Days
