Dugout Discussion – Newcastle vs Leicester

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.

      I've done 5 blanks on the trot and two of them have been carded due to Kane (yep it's all his fault).. Every time I captain him he blanks so I think ok I'll do Sane, I'll do Morata and then he scores every single time I don't pick him and those two get booked and Haz blanks today.. It's been unreal 😀

    I could do Daniels to Gomez this gw and Niasse to DCL next for free but I see more points in keeping Niasse and doing Azpi and Daniels to Christensen and Kolasinac. Am I being daft or is the Azpi out one the better move?

    Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson to BBC Sport on what looked like an argument with a fan at full time: "It wasn't an altercation, the guy was only asking a question. He was asking why Benteke had been told to take the penalty. I was telling him he hadn't. Benteke got hold of the ball. It was a unilateral decision, no one on our team was able to wrest the ball from him. We the management don't expect players to change those decisions, we tried to shout out our instructions, they obviously didn't reach the penalty spot."

        Certainly. Every little helps for Palace right now. Unfortunately not the first (or second) time he's scuffed a penalty. Should not be allowed near them ever again.
