Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Leicester City vs Stoke City

Gameweek 28 gets underway at the King Power Stadium as Leicester City entertain Stoke City at 12.30pm.

Interest in Foxes pair Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy was on the rise ahead of this one.

Back on the teamsheet after his mooted move to Man City fell through last month, the Algerian has served up attacking returns in nine of his last 11 league starts.

As a result, he was the number one midfielder for transfers in for Gameweek 28, with 108,000+ snapping him up to face the Potters.

Vardy, meanwhile, claimed over 135,000 new owners after scoring in five straight matches across all competitions.

Up against the league’s worst away defence – with 32 goals conceded on the road – the hosts’ prospects have been boosted further by the absence of Stoke skipper Ryan Shawcross through injury.

Currently one of just eight teams guaranteed to feature in Gameweek 31, the visitors’ performance will be keenly monitored by Fantasy managers.

The recent arrival of Paul Lambert has been particularly kind to Xherdan Shaqiri, who has served up two goals and an assist in four league outings under his new manager.

There’s no surprise, then, that the playmaker was their most sought-after asset heading into Gameweek 28.

Over 105,000 acquired his services for a schedule that also pits him against Southampton and Everton in the upcoming three rounds of fixtures.

    Salah owner non-capper. Pretty worrying.

        Same. Against my team too. Most nervous I’ve felt in FPL.

        if i didn't cap him i couldn't watch this game...

        I'd be fingering my chin worrying.

      • Fred54
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        47% captained (live teams.)

        Next captained was Kane (24%), if they both score similiar then no biggie of course.

        salah is playing very casually. almost as if it's a warm up game or he's in his lawn, lacking focus. very worrying as a capper
