Dugout Discussion – Newcastle vs Leicester

We ease our way out of Saturday’s action with a head-to-head at St James’ Park involving two sides who offer limited Fantasy interest.

Newcastle United host Leicester City with Jamie Vardy the top owned asset on show.

The striker has just a goal and an assist from his last five Gameweek but remains part of 16.9% of Fantasy Premier League squads. His ownership increased by 169,000 over the past two Gameweeks with some 83,000 swooping for Vardy ahead of this match.

Harry Maguire is next in line and is included in 8.8% of squads – he will bid to guide the Foxes to their fifth clean sheet of the season, having gained a first shut-out in the last five Gameweeks last time out against Burnley.

As for Newcastle, their most popular Fantasy assets both miss out. Rob Elliot (25%) once again plays understudy to Karl Darlow in goal, while Chancel Mbemba (11.4%) is out of the matchday squad. Jamaal Lascelles (6.1%) is fit and returns among the substitutes.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

          Gomez is currently playing the majority of Premier League games but TAA will play every so often. Christensen looks close to being nailed imo, hasn't missed a minute since the Luiz incident, we can only be 100% sure though after Luiz is back

    It's going to be hilarious when neither Elliot nor Darlow start; Tim Krul ends up between the sticks. It will have taken its time, but Mark will finally be vindicated 😀
