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.

Meanwhile, for the first time, we are trialling a new matchday service, providing you with live updates in the form of a live blog discussing key Fantasy talking points. Let us know what you think!

    Every time i scroll down it takes me back to the top! On android

    1. OptimusBlack

      Me too

      Think it's due to the live feed loading after the rest of the page. Will mention it.

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        It’s a cool feature, need to add option for (and default to) collapsed view

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Me too.

    4. Simpix
      • 9 Years

      Same here. This site is almost unusable on anything but Windows PC or Laptop

    5. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      The crap at the top of the page reloading, why we need game updates when we are watching live?

    6. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Cumulative Layout Shift. Not ideal.

    7. KAALI_DAAL
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Save some money and get an Apple phone.

  12. Scholes Out For Summer

    Maddison off set pieces?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Yup I got him in so obviously now he stops taking them completely

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Did you watch the FA Cup semi? It was the same story there y'know.

      • Royal5
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Tielmans on everything it seems

      • Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        His set pieces had not been great for a while, and read that he injured himself talking a corner? Not sure how much is in that.

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          I think it has a lot to do with the lower leg injuries; he’s much better in space than on set pieces, save him for what you really need

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            If that's true than fair enough really isn't it.

            1. The Suspended One
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              Smart imo; he’s irreplaceable. Anyone can take fks at this level..

    2. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      looks like Maddison off set-pieces
      Tielemans the main taker

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Could be due to Maddison coming back from injury

    3. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      The fight for top 4 is actually quite exciting this year. I'd love it if West Ham and Leicester finish top 4. Show up the 'big' 6

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Not sure why this isn’t talked about more. Assumed everyone expects wham to fall on their face, but CL for them would be an incredible achievement. Such poor luck on Antonio injury

        1. Rotation's Alter Ego
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Think its more poor planning than poor luck. Saw a lot of WHU fans calling for a new forward to be signed in Jan after Haller went off, given Antonios injury record.

          Lingard has given them a huge boost though, great punt there.

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Lots of clubs that would kill for a decent striker this season tbf..

            1. Rotation's Alter Ego
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              Could have done with King choosing them over Everton. Still don't understand why they left it so late on him, suspect they felt confident on it so didn't stress about sorting a backup plan and then got blindsided

              1. The Suspended One
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 10 months ago

                The real argument is why didn’t these teams go harder after Wilson...

        2. panda07
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Last Christmas, I had no idea wham would be doing so well!

      2. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Is it? Chelsea and Leicester will finish top four. Leicester going out of Europe was a massive blessing, Chelsea still have a squad that can rotate and play with energy. West Ham are done.

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Lei and chelsea have the toughest fixtures which makes it interesting

        2. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Chelsea is there, just a question of Leicester. Those last three fixtures are rough... they need these points

    4. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Maddi looks off the pace, or he's uninterested

    5. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I sincerely hope that Vardy is going to outscore Davis on my bench 🙁

    6. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Castagne and coady over rudiger and shaw on WC is looking a disaster.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I actually have all 4 you mention.

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Reckon wolves result was a one-off?

    7. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Nacho down

    8. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      This is going to end 0-1, isn't it

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Yep. Or 1:2

    9. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Nacho limp. Maybe a Kun one.

    10. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Nacho broken

    11. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Is Nacho OK?

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Depends what flavour dip.

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Hate when they are all bits, impossible to dip

    12. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Nacho to Richarlison?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Jeez

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Only if you do it before HT.

    13. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Palace are so dirty ; the referee is not doing a great job here.

    14. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Oops looks like I’ve jinxed Leicester again

    15. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Leicester looking tired

    16. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Looks like I could be under 40 all out on free hit

      A fail of gargantuan proportions

      1. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Would gladly take that - currently not on 30 yet on free hit. Unchanged team would be 20 points ahead

    17. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Well this party is a bit rubbish!

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        What did you expect from Brendon Roger’s house?

    18. aborg
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I just know that Iheanacho(c) will blank too just because I own him and my lucky ML rival does not !

    19. KAALI_DAAL
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Where are my Vardy and Nacho points?

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Both are there
