Leicester’s attack looks set to have the defining say on Blank Gameweek 33 as Crystal Palace come to the King Power Stadium.

It has been a low-scoring round thus far but Jamie Vardy (£10.3m) and Kelechi Iheanacho (£6.2m) could make all the difference.

24.1% of Fantasy Premier League managers own the Foxes’ talismanic forward for Blank Gameweek 33, who is fresh from two double-digit hauls across his last four matches.

Meanwhile, 21.5% of teams worldwide come into the latest round with Iheanacho in their team, while just over 10% of the top 10,000 managers captained him.

However, the real difference makers are those who own both, just 4.8% of managers overall in possession of the two Leicester strikers.

The pair are less differential in the top 10k, 23.7% of them owning Vardy and Iheanacho for Blank Gameweek 33.

For the second match in a row James Maddison (£7.3m) is at number 10 while Timothy Castagne (£5.8m) and Luke Thomas (£4.1m) provide width as wing-backs with Ricardo Pereira (£5.9m) on the bench.

Crystal Palace face Leicester’s 3-4-1-2 system with their usual 4-4-2 formation, with Wilfried Zaha (£7.1m) and Christian Benteke (£5.5m) up-front and Jordan Ayew (£5.6m) on the right-hand flank of midfield.

    Could Friday night be another Southampton mauling by Leicester?

  2. WVA
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    FFS Vardy, seriously

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Offside specialist

  3. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Stop the count!

  4. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Kelechi is a great captain pick next week too. But going with anyone but Kane seems silly..

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Really? Spurs did not look good, Kane's back from injury?

  5. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Iheanacho passing instead of shooting so Vardy doesn’t get the assist

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Vardy has been shocking

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Yes disappointing. I should learn, he never does well when I pick him

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          I almost bought him, went Watkins at the end.

      2. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Guessing you’re not a fan

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Just stating the facts. He wastes so many chances.

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Moan moan moan.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        British culture for you

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Full justification then.

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Free speech no longer allowed ? I'm so sorry , I thought that it was permitted.

            4 years, 11 months ago

            I don't see why you feel the need to go around sagging off multiple users tonight, for no reason. That's not really very nice is it?

            1. Nightcrawler
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              Thats very rich coming from u

          2. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            I didn't but if I had done I wouldn't be moaning constantly.

        2. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Probably capped Vardy like me

          1. George Sillett

    Got some weird replies off the back of this comment thread.

    Not really sure why...

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

  7. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …

    Vardy, Iheanacho and Castagne owner.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      1. seanie3
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Not the clinical striker he used to be..

      2. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Bloody hell. Seriously? Not been his best season after great consistency over the years

  9. Nomar

      1. Flair
        • 5 Years

        Wouldn't be the same with Iheanacho's 100~ EO

    Can WE have an option to turn off the 24Liveblog please ruining my enjoyment on mobile iPad!

      Is that causing the loud click sound from time to time?
      If so it is extremely annoying.

      1. Champ

        Thank God. I thought I was going mad. No way I signed up to that crap

      2. g40steve
        • 8 Years

        Pages jumping up & down all game - another money maker I bet.

    3. _Ninja_

      The option is under the teams.

      1. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        button next to the bell I think.

        I don't think live updates should be on articles tbf, especially with comments.

      2. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I just want an option to turn off the crap I don’t want or need?

  12. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Cue the “Vardy is due...stats are good... touches in the box...” talk

    Washed.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Not really sure he's completely washed out now. His role on the team is just a bit different now he's not the only one up top...

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Kane style..?

        Fair enough, but he’s not that good at it.

    2. Jebiga
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      He should score at least 2 goals tonight. Unlucky

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        This plus a penalty (yes I agree it wasn’t a penalty but others have been given like that)

  13. leocarter27
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Start one?

    A) Konsa (Eve A)
    B) Fofana (Sou A)

    Thanks

  14. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Would Vardy owners be as well just ditching him for Iheanacho at this point rather than trying to fit both in?

    Certainly would make it easier

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I would. No point in 2 strikers from the same team. Get the 1 who is red hot.

    2. seanie3
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Move vardy out for kane

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Already have Kane

  15. Party time
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Terrible fpl season. Screw it

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Speak for thyself. Some of us are rocketing up the ranks in the last month plus.

    • gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Just cant believe how bad Vardy has been in this match. I played with the idea of captaining him over Kane next week. Not a chance on this performance.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Not a chance regardless of this game, Kane is in form, Vardy isn’t. Simple really.

    • DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Would you keep Salah or Bruno for the run in?

      1. brianutd-why always we? 20
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Salah

      2. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Salah

      3. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Salah

      4. Chalobah's Witness
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Bruno.

      5. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        None if that's an option for the answer?

      6. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Salah surely. Bruno poor form.

    • brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      That’s ok Leicester

    • HD7
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      The faith in Vardy over Iheanacho derailed my Fantasy season:/

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Same. I’d have skyrocketed after WC if not for that decision

    • The Suspended One

        Looks like 56.
        I got 58! phew.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            • 12 Years

            No, I’m on 57... Vardy would have killed me with any return

    • Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Beautiful Vardy blank.

      Kane hokey-cokey dodged!

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years

        Love to see it!

    • Flair
      • 5 Years

      Leicester (1.07) 2-1 (0.99) C Palace

      Er, did Leicester really create as many chances as people are saying?

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Not good ones, lots of breakaways and palace surviving due to mistakes

      2. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        A lot of them didn't end with a shot, because Vardy is...well, shite. xG can't account for that.

        1. Flair
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Fair enough, thanks.

      3. In Bale We Trust
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Breaks where a final pass is overhit etc dont show in xg.

    • FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Will fully admit I thought Iheanacho was a flash in the pan and that’s why I went Vardy (Prem proven, despite his recent form) over him on WC. Thought it was working out okay after last week, but proven horribly wrong now.

      Swallow pride and make the straight swap now?

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Swallow

      2. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        That goal should tell you all you need to know

      3. Make United Great Again

        Yes

    • mr messi
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Jota to Bale anyone? Will he play do you think? Can’t afford Son unless I take a hit.

        Wow fair play

    • Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I see Vardy is back to his trolling best - stung me early in the season when I held on too long.

      Sellers - rest assured when you sell, he'll bag a hattrick.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        He won’t

        1. Utopsis
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          I hope not too

      2. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Zaha trolling too

        1. Utopsis
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          / auditioning for his DGW

      3. seanie3
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Not a chance, vardy not clinical anymore, role has changed and lols like he couldn’t shoot for toffee lately

        1. Utopsis
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          This is what he does, then he'll score 2 pens in one game

      4. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I’ve owned him 4 times this season:

        Fulham (C) assist
        Tonight (C) blank

        The other 2 were blanks too but not captain I think

        1. Utopsis
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          I remember the Fulham game well. I needed 6pts from him to tie MotM - he returned 5

    • Pompel
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Disappointing Vardy party on FH - on the other hand, I'm glad I just have him for this week then

      Castagne saved the GW.

      (K)ane or Iheana(C)ho next GW?

      Martínez
      Castagne - Azpilicueta - Reguilón
      Salah - Fernandes - Son - Bowen
      Kane - Watkins - Iheanacho

      (Areola, Smith Rowe, Targett, Coady)

      My mini leaders team was a mess this week. Missed the deadline and had Kane (c) and Son (v) and had 7 of his squad either injured or not playing. Scratching my head trying to work out how Ive only gained 5pts on him this week. Frikkin Chris Wood and too many fails for me this week.
