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.

    That was awful

    1. Jimmers

    Imagine if Vardy goes on to become the top scorer this season on top of everything else...

    Robles waste of space.

  6. Sif

    Following the game on here is way more entertaining than BBC live feed

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years

      As always

  9. Leaf

    Another Vardy maybe not dive but go down as soon as touched

  10. FPL Daniel

    Vardy is having a party

  11. Essan

    I honestly thought Vardy was a good (c) or even (tc) option this week ....

    .... but I went with the herd 🙁

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      No way anyone with any sense would go with a non DGW (c)

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

        which is why we all went Payet or Caroll .....

        I think had I been chasing I would have made the gamble. Played "safe" instead.

    Nice to see that no matter how many goals he scores Vardy is still a bellend

    Brilliant Robles I'm so proud of you...

    ARSE!

  15. Mickey Tyrion™

    A Spurs CS and a Kane brace would go ahead and make this a brilliant week for the casual.

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

      And Aguero eugh.

  16. Bubz
    • 12 Years

    Gives Vardy some stick before he takes it, then proceeds to just stand there and watch it go in

  17. Bøwstring The Carp

    9 years, 7 months ago

    Looking forward to Defoe playing these on Wednesday

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years

      Big time

  18. Granville

    This Leicester team look decent. If they carry on like this they have a chance of finishing top half of the table.

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

      Just lucky, with Ranieri they'll be relegated

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

      Lol

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

      Actually I think if they follow this up with another top 6 finish next season then that will be another amazing achievement

    didn't see vardy's name being thrown about much this week

    key differential and ghost ships having a party

  20. Danstoke82

    I should of captained Defoe. He's gonna have a field day against Everton who are totally hopeless

    Carroll over Vardy is looking like a mistake. Had a good season, but could've been great if I just trusted my own judgement more.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Don't blame others

      1. SAY SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I'm literally not.

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

      Your judgement was to do what everyone else was doing

      1. SAY SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        My judgement was that Vardy could have a good week. Reading stuff on here and elsewhere about Carroll's past performances vs Swans and my own observations that Swansea were not gonna play Williams or, to a lesser extent, Siggy swayed it. I'm not blaming other people for that in the same way that I'm not giving away all credit for having a decent FF season. I couldn't be anywhere near where I am without FFS, but I also couldn't without making my own decisions so I'm disappointed that I didn't trust myself fully. Not everything people say is a fking dig at other people.

  24. Bubz

    There is absolutely zero chance Martinez keeps his job at Everton. He's completely lost the dressing room

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
