We ease our way out of Saturday’s action with a head-to-head at St James’ Park involving two sides who offer limited Fantasy interest.

Newcastle United host Leicester City with Jamie Vardy the top owned asset on show.

The striker has just a goal and an assist from his last five Gameweek but remains part of 16.9% of Fantasy Premier League squads. His ownership increased by 169,000 over the past two Gameweeks with some 83,000 swooping for Vardy ahead of this match.

Harry Maguire is next in line and is included in 8.8% of squads – he will bid to guide the Foxes to their fifth clean sheet of the season, having gained a first shut-out in the last five Gameweeks last time out against Burnley.

As for Newcastle, their most popular Fantasy assets both miss out. Rob Elliot (25%) once again plays understudy to Karl Darlow in goal, while Chancel Mbemba (11.4%) is out of the matchday squad. Jamaal Lascelles (6.1%) is fit and returns among the substitutes.

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

    Nice one Foxes!!

    1. Old Man

      Yeah - get in!!!

    Goal – Perez OG
    Assist – none

    Newcastle 2-3 Leicester (86 mins) #NEWLEI #FPL

    What? How did they not give it to Okazaki?

    1. aborg
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      Should be given to Vardy not Okazaki

      1. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 days ago

        Why? Vardy passed to Okazaki who stopped the ball then Perez came from behind to put it in.

        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 days ago

        No chance, Okazaki was the last Leicester player to touch it.

        1. CloudSky
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 days ago

          Any precedence regarding how they normally do it in this kind of situations TM? I thought that one was clear on Okazaki.

    2. BoleynWin
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      He touched the ball to set himself for a shot, if they started giving assists for that I’d begin to follow Rugby instead.

      1. aborg
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 11 days ago

        Agreed....if just touching a ball before the goal scorer is an assist, then Okazaki has it! It’s nonsense in my opinion !

    Does anyone have the overall player-wise captaincy percentages?

  4. masoud123

    As long as I am not in the bottom half for this GW Im happy, need to get through the cup qualifying round

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      4 mil people qualify for the cup this year. Anything above 20 should be a breeze.

      1. Point-one short
        • 9 Years

        Good to know, thanks.

        1. masoud123
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 11 days ago

          Good 29 already

    2. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      Chances of winning it are 4mil/1. Wouldn't get too excited about it.

      1. masoud123
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 11 days ago

        Thats why I like cups. I cant get excited for leagues

      2. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 days ago

        Chances of winning fpl are 5mill+ to 1...

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 16 Years

      You'll play someone who plays triple Kane next week anyway.

      1. masoud123
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 11 days ago

        Anything can happen 😛

      2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 11 days ago

        Chips should be deducted for the cup games.

        1. masoud123
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 11 days ago

          I agree, it can ruin it, I bloody sacrificed FPLScout cup for the premierleague one in a way, so I better make it to january at least

        2. Point-one short
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 days ago

          Agreed

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years

          So should wildcards.

          1. masoud123
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 11 days ago

            Agreed, but judging by the rotation, they are pointless anyway haha

  5. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    If the Manchester derby gets cancelled tomorrow, how would it affect fpl?
    And the United and City assets we have for this gw?

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      You have answers on last page.

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      Wouldn't mind it 🙂

    3. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      They'd get nil points and there'd be bedlam here.

  6. LosBlancos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 11 days ago

    10 pts from 6, incl the captain.
    All on the back of 105pts last GW, what the actual hell is going on.
    Coutinho, Salah, Roonie, Otamendi and Sterling need to bang me 30+ pts to save my ass

    1. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      its a marathon, not a sp... :'(

    2. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      I'm on 31pts, but will swap if I can have your last week score as well.

    3. HashAttack
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      16 (-16) from 5 incl captain ... at least the next round is soon

    4. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      Damn, I'm 20 from 7 and thought mine was bad. If tomorrow's games are called off....

    5. Kermit Special
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      Look at the bright side, you are still averaging 55+ points(with more to come), from the past two gameweeks.

    6. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      Not bragging but -5 from 5 guys

  7. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 days ago

    Alonso + Abraham > Jones & Rooney a good move?

    Fabianski
    Bellerin Otamendi Alonso
    Salah Ritchie KDB Mane
    Abraham Morata Firmino

    Elliot Carroll Ake Zeegalar

  8. Reuser
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 days ago

    Worth doing the following for free?

    OUT: Azpi and Moreno
    IN: Christensen and Otamendi

    Thanks.

    1. Ligdon
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      Nah

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      I would go for someone other then a chelsea defender

    3. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      Not if Moreno is ok for midweek

    4. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      Thanks all - one of those moves that seems like a good idea until you write it down......

      Will probably ship out Naughton for Kenny and keep things simple. Or Moreno if he is confirmed out for a while

    5. J âš’ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Sounds good to me

  9. Bobby
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 11 days ago

    A terrifying day of fantasy football! Should I keep vardy or get rid? Did he look dangerous at all tonight!?

    1. Bobby
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      Think I meant terrible there.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 11 days ago

        Yeah, terrifying comes tomorrow with only two players

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      Pretty useless.

    3. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      I didnt watch the whole match but from what Ive seen he doesnt pass the eye test. Everything goes through Gray, Mahrez and Albrighton. Passes to Vardy were scarce.

      1. Bobby
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 days ago

        Sigh ok. Can’t get to grips with this season. Always three weeks behind the points

        1. CloudSky
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 days ago

          Im probably getting rid and switching into 352. Cout/Sterling/Sigy all viable alternatives.

    4. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      Swap for Bobby.

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 days ago

        Didn't notice your username. Bobby as in Firmino I meant.

  10. Duke Silver ☑
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 days ago

    Just re the assist for the Perez goal. Maybe the rules have changed since 15/16 but Rooney was awarded an assist for the goal below. It's a BS assist but at least have some consistency FPL.

      Rooney had lots of captains though.

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • 10 Years

        Plus he's English 😉

          More nasty emails if no assist.

  11. Robben Mee Blind

    The only 2 players who've got me any returns so far in my WC team are the ones I already owned before I played it 🙂

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      Probably didnt WC just for this week though.

      1. Robben Mee Blind
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        No that's true and happy with my team. Just quite funny

    "Ahead of the Merseyside derby and in light of the weather forecast, just nipped over to Anfield to check on conditions around the ground. Raining.

    Going back to Manchester now and report from Old Trafford to follow..." https://t.co/9wXWJQtdh4

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      Raining in Manchester too

    2. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      Manc derby surely more likely of the two to be off. Because of distance to the sea.

      1. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 days ago

        Manchester weather says good chance of heavy settled snow in places from overnight, while weather forecast for pool is worse during tomorrow.

        more like the distance the fans have to travel to the game , most of em not from Manchester

  15. Kun Tozser
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 days ago

    Mounie - any good as a punt? Fixtures ok

    Huddlesfield fans?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      3 away goals all season.

    2. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      He's awful. He's nearly as wooden as bentekke.

    3. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      He scored twice on the opening day, had 3 great fixtures afterwards and did nothing. I'm not a Huddersfield fan but that hopefully answers your question

  16. AdamJ91
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 days ago

    Sigh. So I presume the general consensus is to never captain someone twice.. (Although perhaps with the exception of Salah).

    Hazard with 30+ points for me last weekend, 4 today. Knew I should have switched to Kane, annoying is he was due a big haul at some point!

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      Capt. Kane this week, and staying there for next.

  17. Yozzer

    Richarlison Moreno---》 Jones Gray for free?

      Nah

  18. Bellerinmondo

    Femenia injured or rotated?

    1. Robben Mee Blind

      Injured

      1. Bellerinmondo
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 days ago

        hmm so Kiko and Zeeg out? that answers the question of which one to get in then...

        1. Robben Mee Blind
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          Think it's a minor one though

  19. ooooo

    Best Abraham replacement? Max 5.5mil

  20. Foozeball

    What happened to Chelsea today? Was it just bad luck or was there something more wrong?

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      They played Lord Moyes.

    2. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      Conte was one dimensional with his tactics. Moyesy outfoxed him.

    With Moreno out, do we think Robertson will get regular game time after tomorrow's match?

    1. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      depends how long he's out for I guess

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      Could be Milner.

      Yes keep up with the punts, and start captaining your vice.

  26. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years

    I am not a resident of the UK, so rely on forums like these for information. How likely are the Merseyside and Manchester derbies to get called off due to bad weather?

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      Id say somewhere around 10%.

      1. Little Lukin
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 days ago

        Agree. I don't think it's very likely

    2. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      v unlikely

    3. KJT123
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      Liverpool quite likely. Manchester not very likely.

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 days ago

        “Quite likely”

    4. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      Ask again tomorrow morning. Nothing forecast till the early hours

    5. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 days ago

      Latest forecast models show that while Manchester and Merseryside might get some snow in the early hours of Sunday, it won't be enough to disrupt the games. Heavier show will fall south of Manchester now.

      If he was a striker. Too much competition for mid slots

      Be careful. He's a player that gives everything and runs himself into the ground. He will be rotated defiantly

    Harsh season isn't it

    2 weeks ago I hit a - 8 to fill my team with a full playing squad

    Now I have niasse zeegalar mee and Moreno to sort. Not saying I'm the only one but it's very frustrating
