A busy Sunday comes to its conclusion as Leicester City host West Bromwich Albion at the King Power.

The Foxes are seeking a fourth clean sheet in six at the King Power this time around but will need to do so without the services of Kasper Schmeichel, who is ruled out with a fractured hand.

Both Robert Huth and Danny Simpson walk the Suspension Tightrope for this one, though many will be taking the chance to scout Christian Fuchs as the schedules smiles kindly on the Foxes.

With Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy devoid of form, Islam Slimani – with 20 points in three home fixtures – and Ahmed Musa, who has scored in each of the last two, have the chance to stake a claim as differentials to consider up top. Vardy’s 9% owners are left further frustrated by Claudio Ranieri’s decison to drop him to the bench today.

West Brom, meanwhile, are devoid of talisman Nacer Chadli, who underwent minor knee surgery last week. Given that the Belgian has played a part in 75% of his side’s goals since arriving from Spurs, another shut-out could be on the cards for the champions.

    Need some help guys. Reposting this.

    My defence this week –

    Shaw(0) – McAuley(2) – Lovren(0) – Holebas(-2) – Amat(0) .

    What to do ?

    a) Wally > Hazard for now and then wait on the defence till GW 13?

    b) Shaw -> Azpi/Alonso

    c) Shaw , Firmino -> Haz,Azpi for a hit.

    Grant
    Mustafi Morgan Nyom
    Sanchez Coutinho Firmino Gundogan
    Kun Austin Lukaku

    Pickford Amat Holebas Ledley

    What would you do? Looking at Hazard in. 2.7m 1ft

      How much would you need to find to get him in for Gundogan?

      1. MikeDuff
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        1.7 if I can get him for 10.0

  4. Odikostar
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Nyom and Aguero
    or
    Kosc and Costa
    I do really fancy nyom tbf, with Burnely(H), Hull(A), Watford(H) and Swansea(H) in his next five.

    1. MikeDuff
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Top 2 100%

    2. MTPockets

        If you fancy Nyom and paired with Aguero...

          9 years, 1 month ago

          He has been since he came over.
          He's basically a 4.3 nailed on defender on a Tony Pulis team

        for this lot?

        2. Sweetboi
          • 10 Years

          Clyne? Liverpool can't defend, would get rid personally.

        3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I wouldn't get a liverpool defender.
          But it looks OK. You could also get rid of kun in a few weeks and upgrade allen and one of your goalkeepers/defenders.
          That is what I am considering myself.

        4. Jay_
            9 years, 1 month ago

            If I had a WC now and didn't go have Costa, I'd double up with Alonso and Azpi. Forget Clyne, terrible waste of money. Nice team other than Clyne, if he could become Azpi and swap Amat for Kingsley (both bad but Kinsgley played today) then that'd be great

          • MikeDuff
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Nahhh not a bad side that I'd save it for now.

            You probably want Hazard Walcott Austin/Wilson for Sanchez Gund/Allen Musa over the next couple of weeks but not bad at all

        5. white lightning
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I've been through all the options with my team so I'll probably do this for a -4 hit:
          Sanchez & Smith out - Hazard & Alonso in

          Will give me:
          Foster
          Alonso, Fuchs, Pieters
          Hazard, Coutinho, Firmino, Allen
          Aguero, Costa, Lukaku

          Jaku, Capoue, Amat, Holebas

          I can see these transfers happening within the next couple of days. I can easily get Sanchez back by downgrading Lukaku if need be. Thoughts & thanks.

          1. Sweetboi
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Team looks good tbf, transfers make a lot of sense with Smith out.

            Do it

          3. MTPockets
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I wouldn't do that for -4 if already have Costa.

              1. white lightning
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Thanks mate. Costa & Hazard are the 2 highest scorers in fpl so I'm going all out. I need the Sanchez downgrade to get Alonso as well & with the form Chelsea are in I feel the triple up is worth it. Chelsea & Liverpool attacking assets are the ones to get so I'm glad I'll have 4 of them.

          4. Sweetboi
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Pick one please lads:

            a) Williams > Alonso

            b) Lallana > Coutinho

            c) Williams + Lallana > Pieters + Hazard (-4)

            d) Save

            Choose:

            A) Sanchez to Hazard

            B) Siggy & Wilson to Hazard & Anichebe

            B let's see me monitor Sanchez for a couple weeks. Is it really time to sell him?

            appreciate your thoughts!

            1. Sweetboi
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              B because it means keeping Sanchez.

            2. Patty
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Does b mean you have to start Anichebe?

              1. Karan_G14
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Nope. Redmond is my 7th attacker. But I actually might start Anichebe over Coutinho if he's likely to be rested.

          6. Dasher0303
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Lallana and Walcott to Hazard and Matic/Allen(which one?)

            Or

            Smith and Sanchez to Hazard and Alonso

            Got Firmino as well but no Chelsea.

            1. RamaJama
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              B

            2. Sweetboi
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              B

              1. Dasher0303
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Don't fancy Sanchez? Lallana only does well in home games like mane

                1. Sweetboi
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  Scratch that, the first one with Allen. Sanchez more important.

            • 13 Years

            Which one to take out:

            Stones
            Morgan

            Need to free up 0.5 to get Hazard in

            1. Dasher0303
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Stones

              I think he is a better captain choice then Kun for the following gw.

                  • 12 Years

                  Costa 6.8m
                  Lukaku 6.8m

                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  Awful was maybe too strong, but his underlying stats haven't been great last few weeks (albeit with difficult fixtures)

              Aguero Austin

                • 9 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Great team besides bolasie, Coleman, Clyne. Keep bolasie for Swansea but I'd say get rid of Coleman/Clyne to Fuchs/VVD/Morgan

                1. tm245
                  • 14 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  Cheers, with internationals it'll be all hands on deck to get a full side. Coleman, Clyne and Bolasie will be gone in two weeks for two uber defs and Mane, I hope.

                I'd be finding that 0.3 to upstage Bolasie to Chadli in GW13.

                If Anichibe is fit, does he start the HUL game? Any reason why he suddenly came into the first XI? Can he suddenly drop out as fast as he came in?

                1. Jay_
                    9 years, 1 month ago

                    3 questions on Anichibe, am I playing this game wrong? 😀

                      9 years, 1 month ago

                      If Keane is badly hurt and my SA contigent come back late from internationals, might get him in for a -4.

                      1. Jay_
                          9 years, 1 month ago

                          Keane is bad, just read he and Hernandez out for "some time" "Keane is the worse of the two"

                          1. Jay_
                              9 years, 1 month ago

                              Keep an eye on prices if like me you have 0.0. Going in different directions quite quick, Anichibe will rise because low ownership and enabler to 3-5-2 Hazard wagons

                        I think he starts next few games, but could be out again after a few weeks. I have him as non-playing striker though!

                        Hazard on 60%, won't rise tonight?

                          Probably not....

                        Foster Grant
                        Williams Lovren Holebas A.Smith Amat
                        Coutinho Firmino Hazard Walcott Fletcher
                        Aguero Lukaku Austin

                        1.6 ITB but no FT. I was going to upgrade Williams to Alonso, but not for a hit, right? I will lose out on the 0.2 rise that will probably happen until next GW, but not worth 4 points, right? Otherwise good to go?

                        only 2 playing defenders next GW, because Holebas and Smith are both suspended. So I will use AOA next GW.

                          Nah Williams v Swansea screams last minute winner

                        Will Theo Walcott be in great form anytime soon? What do you think?

                          I'd watch him against Man U. Probably wouldn't get him in for that game
