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 (ยฃ10.3m) and Kelechi Iheanacho (ยฃ6.2m) 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 (ยฃ7.3m) is at number 10 while Timothy Castagne (ยฃ5.8m) and Luke Thomas (ยฃ4.1m) provide width as wing-backs with Ricardo Pereira (ยฃ5.9m) on the bench.

Crystal Palace face Leicester’s 3-4-1-2 system with their usual 4-4-2 formation, with Wilfried Zaha (ยฃ7.1m) and Christian Benteke (ยฃ5.5m) up-front and Jordan Ayew (ยฃ5.6m) 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!

    I don't think Vardy EVER returns when I own him, so weird

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Only scores vs Sheffield

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      So it's your fault we aren't getting pts ๐Ÿ™

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Hasn't he not scored in like 8 weeks or something now?

  2. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Ok, no more now

  3. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Bonus Points

    3 - Iheanacho (47)
    2 - Eze (26)
    1 - Castagne (24)

    Evans (23)

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Not sure how Eze is a head of Castagne

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 27 days ago

        key passes, dribbles etc

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 27 days ago

          Probably. Still a defender goal though.

          1. Pat Bonner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 27 days ago

            Defenders get less bonus for goals than mids and strikers

      2. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 27 days ago

        Evans will overtake Castagne me thinks

  4. CAREFREEE
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Chap I’m chasing forgot to do his team this week.

    Has Wood and Rudiger coming off his bench for a cool 28 points.

    FML.

    “He’s so hot right now”

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Just call him Hansel Nacho

  7. Chilli Heatwave
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Nachos as captain looking to save my week

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Well played

      1. Chilli Heatwave
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 27 days ago

        Thanks ๐Ÿ™‚

  8. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Vardy messes up Nacho A

  9. Salan
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    My cheap forwards seem not too bad. Wood & Nacho & Watkins.

    1. Chilli Heatwave
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Very tidy

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      That’s lovely.

  10. fusen
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Vardy is really screwing up my Iheanacho (c) points

  11. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Could Vardy be dropped when Barnes is back?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      No chance

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Should be

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      He'll go on a serious goal streak when I sell him for Kane

  12. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Vardy poor again

  13. Duke Silver โ˜‘
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Oh Vardy, the old you would've taken that first time.

  14. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Vardy-over-Iheanacho fail, and a Salah(c) fail. Not the best of weeks.

    That’s gonna take away the green arrow I had before tonight I’ll guess

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Salah was your highest scorer, how can that be a fail?

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Salah (c) was not a fail.

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Salah cap points were well decent.

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 27 days ago

        True sorry, I hadn’t actually realised he picked up 2 bonus as well

    4. CAREFREEE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Salah (C) isn’t really a fail.

      He was the right call.

    5. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      (c) goal + bonus is not a fail.

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 27 days ago

        Aha alright alright I slipped up on that part - swear I saw it said on previous pages with no replies...

  15. Il Capitano
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Nacho (C) saving me from a horror GW, get in!

  16. Bushwhacker
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Got to be selfish there, poor choice.

  17. Ode
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Nacho (c) again next week surely?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Kane all day for me

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 27 days ago

        And I’ve been on a roll for over two months! Take from that what you will hehe

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      With Kane home to Sheff United? No.

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Not Kane / Son?

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 27 days ago

        Have you watched Spurs play lately especially Son!?

        1. Duke Silver โ˜‘
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 27 days ago

          Have you watched Sheffield Utd the past year?

        2. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 27 days ago

          Have you watched Sheff It's play recently especially all of them ?

    4. Flair
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Enjoyed it this week but Kane vs Sheff United (H) unmissable opportunity

    5. Duke Silver โ˜‘
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      That Spurs fixture though... can't bring myself to captain Nacho over Kane/Son.

    6. Ode
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      True, forgot about Spurs vs Sheffield. Really tempting though

  18. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Kelechi. That is his nickname. Pls guys.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      No, it's Seniorman.

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 27 days ago

        Senior man oooooo

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      His nicknames his name?

  19. WVA
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Eze out bapping a defender that has scored because of one five yard straight pass....

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Endless dribbles too.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 27 days ago

        That have come to absolutely nothing

  20. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Iheanacho in next week is essential then... but is it to replace Vardy, or Vydra and change formation? 1FT 0.2 ITB. Had previously been considering Bruno to Son...

    Martinez (Forster)
    TAA Rudiger Coady (Shaw Johnson)
    Salah Bruno Jota Gundogan Lingard
    Kane Vardy (Vydra)

    Tricky

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Vardy to Nacho and Gundo to Son possibly

  21. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Vardy Vardy Vardy .... you are a spent force old boy. Bit part player next season.

  22. Sloane426
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Jota >
    (A) Maddison
    (B) Greenwood
    (C) Keep

    1. CAREFREEE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      I don’t think he’s worth keeping.

      I’m in the same position.

      Thinking Raphinha tbh.

  23. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Damn it Vardy score already

  24. Flair
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Just want one Iheanacho (C) Vardy combo out of this game, would be huge

  25. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Playing FPL is and emotional rollercoaster!

  26. Kellz86
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    I really suck at this season, fallen from 45k to out of the top 500k. Taking players like Vardy over Nacho had been my downfall

  27. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    What the hell is wrong with this website ... first all those effing adds ... now it’s jumping all over the place ...

    1. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      Yeah. The match day feature needs some TLC on mobile. It’s awful UX - any mod here put in a note to devs?

        • 14 Years

    2. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 27 days ago

      The jumping thing is v irritating

  28. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 27 days ago

    Nacho poor...

  29. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Vardy is finished ๐Ÿ™ I hate it
