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.

    Brought in Nacho alongside Vardy. Give me a medal. Bet there’s no goals second half though

      I think West Brom will score.

    I’ve got 2 x FT and chasing. GK situation needs sorting clearly. Move Son?

    Mendy/ Foster
    TAA/ Holding/ Coady/ Saiss/ Amartey
    Salah/ Jota/ Bruno/ mount/ Son
    Kane/ Nacho/ Vydra

    Bring in another Wolves and gamble?

    1. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Get GK, need to nail a couple of differential captain picks (don't think Nacho will be differential tonight though)

    Jamie Vardy you beautiful man X

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      The ultimate punty differential double hit?

      Kane, Son, Jota ->
      Bruno, Greenwood, Cavani

      1. SEXY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Just Jota to Greenwood I reckon

  4. jonnybhoy
    • 11 Years

        What moves

        1. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 12 days ago

          Dias - Trent
          Sterling - Salah
          Mendy - Forster
          Jota - Greenwood

          1. SEXY SALAH
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 12 days ago

            Go hard or go home! Do it have fun, we’re near the end anyway

            1. g40steve
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 12 days ago

              True

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Only if Nacho keeps his bonus. And the BB effectively got you 1 point 🙁

      1. SEXY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Yeah the BB itself has been an absolute catastrophe, quite possibly when I look at the past 30+ weeks it may have been the worst week to play it lol

        1. SEXY SALAH
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 12 days ago

          In terms of outcome anyway

  6. Party time

      Come on Vardy. Feast on them!

    • Fernandito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Jota to:
      A Traore
      B James

      Kane to:
      A Watkins
      B Nacho (Have Vardy)

      1. Boxwoods
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Jota to Greenwood?
        I would hold Kane, since you have Vardy already.

      2. Fernandito
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Got Greenwood already,

        Greenwood Salah Lingard & Son other mids

    • Neo-Viper
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      *REPOST *

      Would you on WC:

      A) Saiss Watkins + Cash ITB to do Trossard to Son for SHF (Already have Kane)
      or
      B) Coady Vardy. Nothing in the bank. Have Nacho and Castagne for the triple up.

      1. OOJ
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        B

    • SEXY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      So they remove that assist yet leave Matt Ritchie’s one for Joelinton when Flappy actually caught the ball then dropped it back in the other direction.

      Wow

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

        Sorry removed what assist?

        1. SEXY SALAH
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 12 days ago

          Corner goal for Evans, changing the direction and all that.
          Yet Flappy catching and dropping behind him doesn’t count as sign I can’t changing direction

          LOL

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

            Ah .. I thought Teilmens got the assist for the Evans goal.

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

              But yeah soz ... why not Nacho ... make it up as they go along.

          2. SEXY SALAH
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 12 days ago

            No idea why my iPhone decided to add “sign I can’t”

              Humble iPhone brag 🙂

                3 years, 12 days ago

                Haha I’ve got the really basic one, cheap one they brought out last year.
                Never had so many random words appear in sentences since getting one...

                1. how now brown cow
                  • 9 Years
                  3 years, 12 days ago

                  Lol. Just messing.

    • Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      I like Nachos.

    • Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      More goals, Nacho!

    • FPLMACKEM
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Mendy
      TAA, Rudiger, Holding, Coady, Amartey
      Bruno, Salah (c), Jota, Lingard
      Iheanacho

      Forster, Davis, Kane, Son

      1ft 0.3 itb

      My main worry with this team is I don't think amartey will play and the lack of second and third striker. Some thoughts.

      A Amartey > Burn
      B Son > Greenwood (then bring son back for gw 34. Don't usually do this but I will probably FH in 35)

      Any other suggestions?

      1. WhatWouldYourZlatanSay
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Given the fixture, Burn is actually a decent shout.

        1. FPLMACKEM
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 12 days ago

          Yeah. He also started the last game. I will wait and see if any Leicester center backs get injured.

    • WhatWouldYourZlatanSay
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Going rogue on a WC trying to keep eye on this GW and possible DGWs

      Martinez | Guaita

      Holgate | Saiss | TAA | Veltman | Konsa

      Salah | Maddison | Greenwood | Lingard | Mount

      Nacho | Kane | Maupay

      Would give me a couple of mill left as well for later. 2nd in my ML and need a few diffs but is it too weird?

      Cheers guys.

      1. Silecro
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        I assume having Guaita is only because of DGW, but cannot play both him and Martinez

        1. WhatWouldYourZlatanSay
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 12 days ago

          Aye -CP's likely DGW fixtures are actually decent, sadly. And the rest, any thoughts?

    • The Fantasy Doctor
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Is Salah essential this week? Would need a hit to get him in or lose Fernandes, Kane or Vardy.

    • Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years

      Differential points. No other feeling comes close.

      1. The Fantasy Doctor
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        I’m considering not having him but doesn’t feel right.

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

      Hope Nacho has changed his boots at half time ... he’s short changing the owners with one goal .... should have been drowning in them in that first half.

    • Kane Train
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Best option to go with?

      A) Iheanacho & Vardy
      B) Iheanacho & TAA

      Will Vardy play all the next fixtures before the Cup Final or be rested?!

      1. Silecro
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        he will play all of them. Leicester fighting for CL spot, cannot afford to be rested

    • Fudgy
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Why did nacho not get the assist for the Evans goal when he flicked it on? Utter nonsense absolutely disgusting

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

        Yes, most frustrating ... if he got a touch why is it given to Teilimens.
