Vardy and Iheanacho lead Fantasy interest as Leicester host West Brom

Jamie Vardy (£10.1m) and Kelechi Iheanacho (£6.1m) lead the Fantasy Premier League interest as Leicester host West Bromwich Albion in Double Gameweek 32.

The former comes into Thursday’s match owned by 19.9% of managers although he shares the spotlight with his strike partner these days.

Vardyy has just four assists and no goals in his last seven Premier League matches, combining those for a total of 28 points, 4.0 per game.

By comparison, Iheanacho has seven goals and 54 points during his last seven outings, 7.7 per game.

Consequently, the Nigerian international has amassed 17.7% worldwide backing and is even featured in the Blank Gameweek 33 captaincy debate. His performance tonight could play a big part in how many trust Iheanacho with the armband against Crystal Palace on Monday.

Double Gameweek 32’s final match is not without its benchings, Ricardo Pereira (£5.9m) among the substitutes after a reported niggle coming into the match.

Timothy Castagne (£5.7m) and Luke Thomas (£4.1m) are the wing-backs tonight while James Maddison (£7.2m) looks set for a more advanced central midfield role in front of Ayoze Pérez (£6.0m) and Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m).

West Bromwich Albion are unchanged from the side that beat Southampton in Gameweek 31.

Callum Robinson (£5.2m) and Mbaye Diagne (£6.0m) lead the line with Matheus Pereira (£5.4m), Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£4.6m) and Matt Phillips (£5.1m) in support.

Double Gameweek 32 Line-ups

Leicester City XI (3-4-1-2): Schmeichel; Fofana, Evans, Söyüncü; Thomas, Tielemans, Ndidi, Castagne; Maddison; Iheanacho, Vardy.

West Bromwich Albion XI (4-1-3-2): Johnstone; C Townsend, O’Shea, Bartley, Furlong; Yokuslu; M Pereira, Maitland-Niles, M Phillips; C Robinson, Diagne.

    What's the template move for people that did the template WC31?

    Mendy-Forster
    TAA-Shaw-Rudiger-Holding-Dias
    Salah-Bruno-Son-Lingard-Jota
    Kane-Iheanacho-Davis

    Was planning on using my transfers at this point to get rid of Son and maybe upgrade elsewhere, but the whole Chelsea keeper thing has thrown a wrench in those plans.

    What are others doing?

    1. CrouchDown
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      If Jota is out then Jota + Kane > Greenwood + Vardy

      1. roghippo
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 day ago

        I suppose when you put it like that, he has blanked loads though

      2. gart888
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 day ago

        Ughhh. I hadn't heard of the Jota absence. Thanks.

        I'm hesitant to move on from Kane just because i got him in for 11.2.

  2. balint84
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    A) Vardy+Bissouma -4
    B) Greenwood+Ichenacho -4
    C) hold Son, get a 4.5 def for bench

  3. Top Lad Dakes.

    Not a bad start to a hopefully strong fun. Cheers JV

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Run**

  4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Vardy with 26 returns in his last 28 appearances - and CPL, sou, NEW up next

    Rumours of his demise have been greatly exaggerated....

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Happy I hopped on when I did

    2. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      and New is likely a dgw with Man U.

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Or twice in his last 7 .. depends how you look at it.

      Missed you on his back to back blanks; no Vardy stat updates those weeks..

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 day ago

        He has 5 returns in his last 7 though?

        2 Blanks in a row is criminal though for sure, residual when one e against man City 😆

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 day ago

          Oh I see what you are doing; still getting spanked by Nacho whichever way you slice it

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 1 day ago

            But Nacho has blossomed into an incredible player over the last 6 gameweeks... Don't think you'll find many folks arguing against that tbf

            Although "whichever way you slice it" is almost as embarrassing as "I wouldn't sign Vardy for 6.0" right before he notches 5 returns in 4 games...

            You could slice it over a season and say 26 returns to 9 for example?

            That's a fair old spanking alright 😆

            1. The Suspended One
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 1 day ago

              LOL; you keeping Vardy the rest of the season then?

              1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                • 14 Years
                3 years, 1 day ago

                Certainly not letting go before the end of the good fixture run - as per the original plan 😉

                1. The Suspended One
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 10 Years
                  3 years, 1 day ago

                  I won’t lie, I don’t enjoy Lei games much at the moment. Hoping to survive with only nacho and will FH him in for their double, only 2 more weeks to worry about

    4. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Enjoyed his haul even more because of that 😉

  5. McPollolocco
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    What should i do with Mahrez?

    a) keep
    b) --> Pulisic
    c) --> Havertz
    d) --> Rodriguez?

  6. Pointless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Is it worth the gamble to sell Bruno for Greenwood to fund Watkins to Vardy?! (Already have Iheanacho and Kane) (reply fail!)

  7. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    With 2FT 2.4m ITB, are Son Dias to Salah Dallas the moves here?

    Martinez
    Shaw Rudiger TAA
    Bruno Lingard Jota
    Vardy Vydra

    Forster Kane Son Gundogan Dias

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      I like those moves.

  8. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    3 flagged in my team. Cresswell,Raphinia,Lacazette
    2 blanking. Son and Kane
    Jota, Mendy and Alonso rotation risks.

    Mendy
    TAA, Shaw, Rudiger,Alonso
    Fernandes,Lingard,Jota,Raphinia*
    Iheanacho,Lacazette *

    Lloris,Kane,Son,Cresswell 1FT. 0.6m itb.

    Is a -8 justifiable?
    Something like Mendy,Son,Lacazette >> Sanchez,Salah,Watkins..

  9. Silecro
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    I think I'm set on my WC, a bit of risk with no Kane, but have to live a little:

    Patricio
    Trent, Castagne, Webster, Konsa
    Salah(c), Lingard, Rashford
    Vardy, Nacho, Watkins

    Meslier, Dallas, Raphinha, Son
    0.0 itb

    Good to go for the rest of the season?

  10. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Do we know the LMS Safety score yet?

    Looks like 70 would be good for any given week, but might not end up being enough for me to survive this time! 😀

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      71 I think

  11. sk24
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Jota to Maddison for -4?

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      No

  12. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    67 (-12) all out, not too bad in the end.
    A 1 point BB hurts though, nothing I can’t clawback in a few weeks though I guess.

    Team feels in good shape

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      78 all out here. Up to 78k but team in not so good shape. Looks like some hits for me this week.

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 day ago

        Yeah and I did my sorting out this week - could pay off. Just about did for me

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 day ago

          What do you think?
          Mendy,Son, Lacazette > Sanchez,Salah,Watkins -8.

          1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 day ago

            I think I would do that!

  13. Blue Moon Rising
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Prioritise two to get rid of this week:

    A) Mendy
    B) Phillips
    C) Son
    D) Vydra
    E) Jota
    F) Masuaka
    g) Kane

    Currrently on A) and C)

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      C for sure. Unsure on the next one.

  14. FF Dirtbag
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Thoughts on my free transfers?
    Son and Phillips out
    Greenwood and TAA in

    Current team, 2FTs and 2.8 mill in the bank:
    Mendy Forster
    Shaw Dias Rudiger Saiss Phillips
    Salah Fernandes Son Lingard Jota
    Kane Iheanacho Vydra

    1. Blue Moon Rising
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      What’s the latest on Philips?

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 day ago

        No clue. But want to get TAA for the attacking returns anyway

  15. Mimi
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Watkins or Welbz? Or maybe Maupay?

  16. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I do hate a Friday deadline

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      The worst...

  17. NotsoSpursy
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Vydra to

    A) Welbeck
    B) Benteke

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Welbeck if anyone for SHU, but why sell Vydra?

  18. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Benched Dunk and Coufal

    Started Stones

    Bad mistake

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      You've done so constantly.

      Like it's your goal?

      Some kind of emotional undeveloped obsessive

  19. markus808
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    FH hit in GW 35 or 36? That could be a final stage where you can earn solid points on anyone. Have you considering FHing in 35 and building your team more balanced thanks to that?

    Let's consider that Crellins predictions are 100% accurate, would you maximise your points more than people who are building their teams for GW35 and then FHing in GW 36? How popular is thought about FH in GW35 anyway?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      It's all marginal from here

  20. Oooo Matron
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Money no option, best midfield to bring in this week for Son? (Have Jota, Salah, Bruno & Lingard)

    Currently caught between Maddison & Greenwood

    1. Party mode
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Maddison for me

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 day ago

        don't think he looked all that good today to be honest.
        greenwood for me.

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 day ago

          He could have hauled another day.
          Not a bad first day back imo
          Ready to go v Palace

  21. gart888

    Why aren't more people talking about Bowen? Pretty nailed on up front for an in form attack. Are we just that scared of Chelsea's D?

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      I like him but nobody knows extent of Antonio injury

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 day ago

        And we all own Lingard already

      2. gart888
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 day ago

        Isn't he thought to be out for most of the season?

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 day ago

          That’s the rumor

      3. Iwantmorepointsthanks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 day ago

        West Ham fans seem to think that Antonio is out for a bit longer.
        I already got in Bowen for Gundogan for GW32, anything against CHE is a bonus, the fixtures afterwards are quite good.

        Bowen not only is OOP atm, but when you watch a compilation of his first 50 goals for Hull you see that he can score poacher goals and is not scared of being in the midst of the action!

  22. Party mode
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    What would you do for transfers? 2FT 2.5 ITB

    Mendy
    Rudiger Coady TAA Veltman
    Salah Raphinha Jota Lingard
    Wood Iheanacho

    Forster Dawson Son Kane

    Thinking of getting rid of Dawson but for who?

    Cheers

    1. Killitzer

      Why not Targett and prepare have a Villa player for their DGW?

      1. Party mode
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 day ago

        Like the Targett idea, initially was looking at Castagne for the next couple.

  23. Chrisitis
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    They removed Tielemans assist which means Nacho is still in the mix?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      No, Evans, Castagne, Vardy

      1. Chrisitis
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 day ago

        To get the assist
        Or is it clear he didnt touch it

    2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Yes his goal stands 🙂

    3. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Really? BBC were saying it was a West Brom head that flicked it on ... so maybe no assist. I only caught the last reply as chose an opportune moment to leave the room ... so can’t say for sure if Nacho got the touch ....... few people on here swear he did ....

  24. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Best 6.5 striker?

    A) Bamford
    B) Watkins

    Thanks in advance?

    1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      A but might do the swap a Rooney to Watkins when they double
