The new Premier League champions return to home soil for their coronation as Everton pay a visit. The Foxes are unbeaten in 10 match-ups but might lack a psychological edge following their title triumph, while the Toffees snapped a seven-match winless streak with a victory over Bournemouth last Gameweek.

Leicester’s attack has excelled across their previous four outings, recording nine goals and two more big chances (12) than any other team. Furthermore, only two clubs (Manchester City and Southampton) boast a superior shot-conversion rate (13.1%) in home clashes than the Foxes. Although Claudio Ranieri’s squad have conceded just three goals in four fixtures, the fact they’ve allowed the sixth-most shots inside the box (35) offers some hope to the visitors.

The Toffees are in desperate need of an attacking spark, given that they placed joint-fourth-bottom for goals (three), bottom for attempts (31), bottom for shots inside the box (14) and joint-second-bottom for big chances (two) across their previous quartet of encounters. It’s worth noting, however, that Everton chart joint-third for big chances (39) and joint-fourth-bottom for goals conceded in road ties (19), illuminating their decent away form.

    2. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yep, 3 assists for Mahrez so far.

    United clean sheet or Payet goal party in the week, one extreme or the other will save my week.

  3. Bubz
    • 12 Years

    Wonder what the odds are on a Premier and Champion's league double for Leicester

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      9000/1 😆

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Is it really?

        1. Duke Silver ☑
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          No but if it was I'd stick a couple quid on it.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Might be worth throwing £1 at

  4. JJO
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Mahrez could have 15points in this half only
    Really unlucky

  5. Puntillimon
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Leicester's breathtaking, they play such an incisive game

  6. Duke Silver ☑
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Vintage Leicester performance.

  7. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Mahrez looking good

  8. Hibbo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    How's that not a Mahrez assist?

    Clear as the day is long.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Lol

  9. Manilaman
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    1. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      y

    2. Numb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Unless Martial plays midweek yeah

    3. Duke Silver ☑
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yes if Martial doesn't play against WHam.

    4. siweltrebor87
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      yes I believe that's the case.

    5. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

    6. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Depends if Martial plays midweek.

    7. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      yep if martial doesn't play

    8. St. Joseph
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Same situation here on martial (TC)

      I'm hoping he can't make it
      So my vice will be my TC

  10. FudgyBadger
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Mahrez has got the assist ?

    1. Numb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Apparently

    2. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      No. Guy at the top of a page asked as a question.

  11. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Brother has triple Leicester and used bench boost this week, Defoe and PVA on the bench. Hate how he always gets these decisions spot-on.

    1. Numb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      That's how bench boost works

      1. Numb
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I mean, it doesn't matter who's on his bench, it's arbitrary

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      ok well he has got a decent 15 players this week anyway

  12. Jazz!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone care to predict Chelsea v Leicester next week?

    1. cyclopropane
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      8-4 Leicester

      1. Fred54
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        You joke, but there have some utterly crazy scores at the Bridge on the final day.

        1. Whats the Huth
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          I remember Chelsea smashing wigan 🙁

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      2-3

    3. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Will get Vardy in most likely, goals for Leicester.

    4. Meinhoff
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      4-4

    5. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      2-2

      Both teams scoring well, nothing to play for game

    6. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      The Tinkerman will want a win against his old club

    7. Manilaman
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Easy Leicester win

  13. St. Joseph
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Any News on Martial??
    Is his injury serious??
    Trippling him and hoping he doesn't play next match.

    So my vice will take it all

    What a Bad Luck !!!

    1. Numb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Precautionary according to LVG

      1. St. Joseph
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Ohh come on please

        now im hoping he can't make it

  14. HamezMace
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    What are Martial owners doing, surely between the hamstring injury and FA cup final he won't play GW38?

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Selling him for Defoe for the midweek game.

      Well the thick ones are anyway.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Depends if a win = 4th

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Surely any hamstring injury is two weeks minimum?

        1. Fred54
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          May not have been a tear, just tight.

    3. Numb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Not necessarily. Depends if top four is possible by then

    4. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Cheers guys, I guess we'll have news before the midweek game anyway

  15. Sif
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    When everyone owns Mahrez he does stuff, when he's a differential he keeps quiet :s

    1. Meinhoff
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I just hope he lasts till 60th min, i want those 3 pts

  16. Jazz!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    What do we think of Fabregas as an asset next GW?

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Rather have Hazard.

      1. Jazz!
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        😆

  17. RoysCallerAnne

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

    5. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, this season has been so unpredictable

    6. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Could be, worst ever rank is 41k 5 seasons ago. My 10 points (-8) today won't help my 50k rank

    7. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Nope 😎

        1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!

    8. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      No, my Suarez-less season 2 years ago will take some beating! 🙂

    9. Numb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Worst since my debut

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I'm worse off than my 1st ever season.
        I didn't even know price changes happened until march when i joined FFS

  18. Hypnos
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    1. John t penguin
      • 11 Years

      1. Hypnos

  19. Merteswagger
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Having Boruc this week is possibly the best thing thats happened to me all season.

  20. John t penguin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Leicester have never lost a game when one of the four tenors sings before a game.
    Note for next year, check if Pavarotti is about before a game

    1. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'll put a tenor on a Leicester victory in that case

  21. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    What happened to kone today? Injured or was he terrible

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Substitution, Sunderland. John O'Shea replaces Lamine Koné because of an injury.

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

  22. Jazz!
    • 10 Years

    1. Numb
      • 10 Years

    2. Pat Bonner

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      1. Jazz!
        • 10 Years

    5. Essan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

  23. Revival

    So Sunderland only need to beat this Everton side to survive midweek then

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

  24. Aston-villain
    • 10 Years

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I prefer to hear folk who have done worse than me! I'm on 10 (-8) if that helps...including triple captain

  25. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years

  27. FudgyBadger
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Everton will score this half. They've come out looking immense, just like the Everton we know and love!

    1. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Please. Rival has Fuchs.

    2. Numb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Don't think so

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

  28. Duke Silver ☑
    • 10 Years

    😆 Schmeichel epic save.

  29. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    First two minutes of the 2nd half sums up what it's like to own Lukaku

  30. Revival

    • 13 Years

    Leicester are really toying with Everton now
