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!

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

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

      Only scores vs Sheffield

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

      So it's your fault we aren't getting pts 🙁

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

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

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

    Ok, no more now

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

    Bonus Points

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

    Evans (23)

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Not sure how Eze is a head of Castagne

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        key passes, dribbles etc

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Probably. Still a defender goal though.

          1. Pat Bonner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Defenders get less bonus for goals than mids and strikers

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

        Evans will overtake Castagne me thinks

  4. CAREFREEE
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months 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.

    Nacho

    “He’s so hot right now”

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Just call him Hansel Nacho

  7. Chilli Heatwave
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Nachos as captain looking to save my week

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Well played

      1. Chilli Heatwave
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks 🙂

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

    Vardy messes up Nacho A

  9. Salan
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

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

    1. Chilli Heatwave
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Very tidy

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      That’s lovely.

  10. fusen
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Vardy is really screwing up my Iheanacho (c) points

  11. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Could Vardy be dropped when Barnes is back?

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

      No chance

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

      Should be

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

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

  12. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Vardy poor again

  13. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

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

  14. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months 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
      4 years, 10 months ago

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

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

      Salah (c) was not a fail.

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Salah cap points were well decent.

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

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

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

      Salah (C) isn’t really a fail.

      He was the right call.

    5. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      (c) goal + bonus is not a fail.

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months 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
    4 years, 10 months ago

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

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

    Got to be selfish there, poor choice.

  17. Ode
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Nacho (c) again next week surely?

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

      Kane all day for me

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

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

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

      With Kane home to Sheff United? No.

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

      Not Kane / Son?

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Have you watched Spurs play lately especially Son!?

        1. Duke Silver ☑
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Have you watched Sheffield Utd the past year?

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

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

    4. Flair
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

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

    5. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

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

    6. Ode
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      True, forgot about Spurs vs Sheffield. Really tempting though

  18. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Kelechi. That is his nickname. Pls guys.

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

      No, it's Seniorman.

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Senior man oooooo

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      His nicknames his name?

  19. WVA
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

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

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

      Endless dribbles too.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        That have come to absolutely nothing

  20. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months 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
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Vardy to Nacho and Gundo to Son possibly

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

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

  22. Sloane426
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

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

    1. CAREFREEE
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I don’t think he’s worth keeping.

      I’m in the same position.

      Thinking Raphinha tbh.

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

    Damn it Vardy score already

  24. Flair
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

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

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

    Playing FPL is and emotional rollercoaster!

  26. Kellz86
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months 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
    4 years, 10 months 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
      4 years, 10 months ago

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

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        Already have mate

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

      The jumping thing is v irritating

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

    Nacho poor...

  29. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Vardy is finished 🙁 I hate it
