After goals from Pedro and Robbie Brady saw the spoils shared at Turf Moor, we make our way to the Liberty as Swansea seek to build momentum under Paul Clement.

Gylfi Sigurdsson is the focal point in the 4pm kick-off, with the playmaker looking to score for the fourth successive Gameweek, having netted against Liverpool, Southampton and Man City in each of his previous league outings.

With a pair of assists also accrued over the last five, the Icelandic international was the most transferred in player for Gameweek 25, with 229,000+ new owners snapping up his services.

Given that the hosts are currently one of just six sides set to play in both Gameweek 26 and 28, the likes of Fernando Llorente and Alfie Mawson could also play their way into our short-term plans.

Leicester, meanwhile, have struggled for form at either end of the pitch. With one goal in seven and a single clean sheet away from home all season, Claudio Ranieri’s men have done little to persuade us they are worthy of investment right now.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Nice one.

      WIsh I'd got Mawson too.

  2. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Leicester going down.

    1. Business Cat

      8 years, 10 months ago

      Dilly-Ding, Dilly-Dong...time to go 🙂

      To think Arsenal were after Vardy and Mahrez in the summer 🙂

  3. SouthCoastSaint

    Mawson and siggy!!!

    This Leicester movie is going to be incredible if they keep going in champions league and get relegated

    1. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Sevilla are gonna spank them.

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        That was always the case. Sevilla are a class act and they are indeed going to spank us. We look awful.

  4. Hobolicious
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Sigurdsson is life, Sigurdsson is love!

    Got him in before the Pool-game and he just keeps on delivering!

  5. tm245
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    They are simply old and out of shape - play hard for 30-35 minutes and then collapse in the last 10. Did against United as well.

  6. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    All out attack now Leicester, gewon lads!

  7. Deus
    • 8 Years

    Bang

  8. Jay_
      8 years, 10 months ago

      No chance of Siggy baps as it stands. Need or goal from him or Leicester

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Still got a clean sheet point coming 🙂 Small things 🙂

    • Stupendous
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Seriously.

      Honestly.

      How did this (essentially the same), Leicester side win the Premier League?

      Please don't say Kante anyone. Can't be.

      1. Sweetboi
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Kante, no injuries, everyone else bottled it. The biggest fluke in sporting history.

      2. Sailboats
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Kanté

      3. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Answer is this is not the same Leicester team as last season

        1. Stupendous
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          It really is just about the same 11. 9 or 10 of last year's 11?

          Injuries and Kante, plus maybe age kicked in all of a sudden for Huth and Morgan.

          Baffling.

          1. Stupendous
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Don't say Kante anyone. Says Kante himself. Gets coat.

          2. Revival
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            it's not the same team anymore, players don't have the same workrate, confidence and motivation, heart and drive. Last season's Leicester beats this Swansea side about 5-0.

      4. Qubit
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Kante is a big miss, dont underestimate his effect. However, it does somewhat beggar belief.

      5. SouthCoastSaint
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        A group of players all hitting their individual peaks at the same time and the top 4 sides all having 'poor' seasons.

        1. Jazz!
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          And pretty much this.

      6. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        momentum which they now have in reverse

      7. Harper_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Momentum. Great end of season in 2014/15, great pre-season, great start of season. Vardy and Mahrez just kept on repeating the same tricks and scoring almost everytime.

      8. Jazz!
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Kante did make a huge difference.

      9. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Vardy and Mahrez chance conversion ibn first half of last season was unbelievably high, they also won about 10 penalties during that period too. After xmas they completely changed style and started grinding out 1-0 wins

      10. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Kante leaving has created a butterfly effect and confidence is a massive thing.

      11. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        All the big money contracts have ruined them. Players don't have any hunger.

      12. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Kante is a huge huge loss and would be to any side his work rate and how he set the tone for the rest was unbelievable.. on top of that these players look void of any motivation after last seasons triumph.. at this stage too many of them going through the motions and waiting til the seasons over so they can get their transfer requests in imo

        1. Stupendous
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Might be best response yet

          1. KingNidge
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            I put a lot of thought into it lol

    • Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Coutinho needs to be scoring against Leicester GW26 to justify my punt on him now

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        He looks like last season's Coutinho since coming back.

        1. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah Granville I agree unfortunately. Good player but doesn't seem half as involved as Mane/Bobby. He was always very deep against Spurs. Milner taking some of the set pieces too.

      2. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Agreed. Or not swapping for Mane will be tough.

      3. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Mane's where it's at

        1. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Agreed. A hard move for us Coutinho owners though.

    • Viper
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      One more return from Siggy needed. Come on Gylfi 🙂

    • SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Anyone know what Leicester relegation odds were pre season? Be funny to see how many that punted on them to win the title punted on them for relegation

      1. Sweetboi
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Not 5000/1 that's for sure.

      2. Jay_
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Don't quite count but this time last year I put 100 pound on them to win league (8/1) and a few weeks ago I put 20 pound on them to be relegated (16/1). I love Leicester

          1. Granville
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            I backed them @ 11/1 but just £20

        • Viper
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          They were 40/1 for the league and about half that to get relegated

        • fiveyears
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          I bet somebody did and they'll get investigated if it happens! 😀

        • Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          think they where about 60/1 pre-season to be relegated

      3. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Got Daniels. Daniels gets injured. Replaced for Dann. Dann geta injured. Should I get Mawson? Nah, not a Swansea defende, get Cahill. Chelsea concede. Great.

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Sods law.

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

        The relief of even that assist 🙂

      5. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Anyone know how nailed Maguire is at Hull once Davies and Dawson are back?

        Looks like the new manager is playing a flat back four and I would have thought Davies, Dawson and Ranocchia will be further ahead in the pecking order. So Maguire not really a safe option?

        Robertson the better pick for safety?

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

          Maguire surely cant be dropped with how he's play. Better than the other two for me, Ranocchia looks a good buy too. Robertson safer, yes!

          1. Smurf
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Maguire now where near as good as Davies or Dawson tbh. He's played OK recently but they are much better quality. Dawson is captain too and that's my worry.

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

              Fair enough, ye would be too many worries for me and I'm done with players that are risks, hence the Grav, I'd get Robertson in if you don't have Jaku 🙂

              1. Smurf
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Thanks for the input. Robertson it is.

        2. ***00tennis***
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Robertson put in a ton of crosses into the box v ARS these week-end....matter of time they get converted.... good pick imo

      6. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Thinking of doing Alli to Antonio for gw28

        Alli: blank SOU bur

        Antonio: bou LEI hull

        Could be good for those gw 28 blanks!

        1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah alli and Firmino to Siggy and Antonio for me for blank cover

          1. JÆKS ⭐
            • 11 Years

            Look good moves mate

      7. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        It's going to happen isn't it

        Champions to Relegation

        #Jamie Vardy is Having a Party 😆

        1. Point-one short
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          As Vardy would say "Play sheet, get relegated."

      8. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        So Alli > Siggy should have been the move this week.

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Yip

          Hindsight is wonderful but they do play Chelsea next

          1. The 12th Man
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Aye. Siggy will be in wk 27.
            Got to be satisfied with 72 all out

        2. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Eriksen to Siggy was the one 😉

          1. The 12th Man
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            If one had him. Yes.

        3. The Wizard of Ozil
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          I thought everyone on here did that.

          1. The 12th Man
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Nah.

        4. dark91
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          I did Zaha-> Siggy

          1. The 12th Man
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Good move

          2. Tigers Time
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            I feel Siggy is now a season keeper

            1. The 12th Man
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Until the DGWs

        5. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          I done Erik to siggy.

        6. GE
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Don't think so when Alli gets a haul next week. GW27 is the right time to get him in!

      9. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        There's a weirdly sadistic part of me that wants Leicester to be relegated

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Me too

          Jamie Vardy is the reason

      10. fiveyears
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Feel for Leicester fans, but I think all of those clubs in the lower/mid area of the Prem would take the last two years for them.

        They have the resources to get promoted again if the worst does happen.

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          You're right. I never expected to The Foxes win the league in my lifetime, so even if we go down - and it looks very likely - then it will have been worth it.

      11. Dreams
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Milner and ozil have the same points. Crazy stuff.

      12. Sweetboi
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Can't believe the commentators/pundits aren't blaming Schmeichel, that was terrible keeping.

      13. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Enjoyed the big hitters at Chelsea missing out. I moved them out with the view to GW 28.

      14. Ridcully
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Siggy captaincy success! I can now relax and hope for some more points.

            Last thing they want is a replay. Would rather lose.

            You have to feel Mane could be rampant in that fixture

          imagine Leicester advancing in the Champions league knockouts and fighting a relegation battle at the same time
