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.

    Looking to bring in an Aston Villa defender for the West Brom game and potential DGW.

    Who would you pick out of Targett and Konsa?

      Targett. Taking a lot of set pieces.

    Cheers Brendan for keeping Fofana on for 60 mins so we get his CS points. You're the real hero!

    Decisions Decisions

    Castagne or Dunk?

    1. bobfredbob
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Castagne if you have cover for the potential BGW

    2. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Castagne

  4. YoungPretender
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Exact money for Gundogan & Jota > Greenwood & Maddison (-4), worth it?

  5. sneif4

    Please RMWCT - be brutal! Spreading the funds as I've still got BB.

    Martinez Johnstone
    Coady TAA Dallas Castagne Ward
    Salah Jota Son Greenwood Lingard
    Vardy Nacho Bamford

      That's a great wildcard, as it covers the potential BBDGW35 and BGW36 for you.
      Obviously also great for BGW33

      1. sneif4
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Thanks - it took me a while to get to this team!

    2. Salah_Fingers
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Looks great, leaves me with 2.2itb do you have anything left? I'm keen to wildcard but with the extra cash I'm tempted to upgrade Johnstone

  6. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Bruno + Son -> Salah + Greenwood for free? I have Kane, Jota

  7. The Mighty Hippo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    I wonder if Allardyce has a few bob placed on WBA getting relegated?

  8. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Nacho on direct free kicks too...

  9. Duke Silver ☑

    Castagne looking likey to nick Vardy's baps 🙁

  10. Jones Kusi

    What would you do here?
    2 FT 0.2 ITB
    No chips left

    Forster Mendy
    Rudiger Philips Fofana Coady Holding
    Lingard Jota Salah Son Bruno
    Nacho Kane Davis

  11. Hitthewall
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Good transfers?
    Mendy + Vydra --> Sanchez + Watkins?

  12. Pointless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

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

  13. McPollolocco
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    What should i do with Mahrez?

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

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

    Vardy off

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

      Straight red?

  15. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    On fh.

    Welbeck or Trossard?

    Other players are the usual ones.

    1. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Excellent, some FH chat! I'm looking at one of these two as well. Siding towards Trossard, think he has the bigger ceiling but there's not much in it. Also because my striker spots are filled up...

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Leaning towards Trossard atm. Likely to play more minutes and on set pieces.

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 12 days ago

          Whats your team like?

          1. Hart-ake
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 12 days ago

            Yep, good points. Only slight worry is that he went on 59 mins in the last game, but on the flipside that should mean he is fresh for the next match.

            Team at the mo--

            Sanchez
            TAA/ Castagne/ Veltman
            Salah/ Bruno/ Jota/ Trossard
            Nacho/ Vardy/ Cavani

            Castagne could be Ricardo; may lose Jota for a Chelsea mid if he is out.

            How's yours?

            1. S.Kuqi
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 12 days ago

              Pretty much the same.

              Got Mane instead of Jota and Greenwood instead of Cavani.

              1. Hart-ake
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 12 days ago

                Mane is a great shout.

  16. Eh, just one more thing ...
    • 12 Years

    Praet on

  17. Hazz

    Gutted Trent Rose last night. If Jota is out, I'm 0.1m shy of Trossard (SHU). Oh well!

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

      What’s the story/rumour about Jota being out ... remotely reliable source?

      1. Brehmeren

        Absent from training today

        1. SEXY SALAH

          Missing from training or just not captured in photographs?

            Missing from training, apparently

      Why would jota be out?

    3. SEXY SALAH
      • 7 Years

      Jota seemed fine whole game vs Leeds. Can’t see why he’ll be out

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

        You can get injuries in training.

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

          For some reason I thought they played Tuesday but it was Monday wasn’t it so I guess could have done on Tuesday training

  18. Gudjohnsen

    Rival who's leading my mini league will 100% captain Mo.

    So should I captain

    A. Mo
    B. Ihenacho
    C. Bruno

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Need more context, lead size?

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 12 days ago

            If small lead stick with whoever you think gets the most points even if its mo, if big lead then risk the other two

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

          It's simple really, captain whoever you think will get the most points and stop worrying about other people

          Have Vydra starting currently, and no FTs.

          Is Dias > Shaw/Castagne worth a hit for a 5-4-1 and Vydra on the bench?

          1) Save FT
          2) Laca to Vardy (in case anyone misses the gw)

          Must be frustrating for Johnstone. Seems to be the only one who wanted to give it a go today.

          Is Vardy for Kane for a week a good transfer even if Im gonna lose value on Kane??
