Vardy and Iheanacho lead Fantasy interest as Leicester host West Brom

Jamie Vardy (£10.1m) and Kelechi Iheanacho (£6.1m) lead the Fantasy Premier League interest as Leicester host West Bromwich Albion in Double Gameweek 32.

The former comes into Thursday’s match owned by 19.9% of managers although he shares the spotlight with his strike partner these days.

Vardyy has just four assists and no goals in his last seven Premier League matches, combining those for a total of 28 points, 4.0 per game.

By comparison, Iheanacho has seven goals and 54 points during his last seven outings, 7.7 per game.

Consequently, the Nigerian international has amassed 17.7% worldwide backing and is even featured in the Blank Gameweek 33 captaincy debate. His performance tonight could play a big part in how many trust Iheanacho with the armband against Crystal Palace on Monday.

Double Gameweek 32’s final match is not without its benchings, Ricardo Pereira (£5.9m) among the substitutes after a reported niggle coming into the match.

Timothy Castagne (£5.7m) and Luke Thomas (£4.1m) are the wing-backs tonight while James Maddison (£7.2m) looks set for a more advanced central midfield role in front of Ayoze Pérez (£6.0m) and Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m).

West Bromwich Albion are unchanged from the side that beat Southampton in Gameweek 31.

Callum Robinson (£5.2m) and Mbaye Diagne (£6.0m) lead the line with Matheus Pereira (£5.4m), Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£4.6m) and Matt Phillips (£5.1m) in support.

Double Gameweek 32 Line-ups

Leicester City XI (3-4-1-2): Schmeichel; Fofana, Evans, Söyüncü; Thomas, Tielemans, Ndidi, Castagne; Maddison; Iheanacho, Vardy.

West Bromwich Albion XI (4-1-3-2): Johnstone; C Townsend, O’Shea, Bartley, Furlong; Yokuslu; M Pereira, Maitland-Niles, M Phillips; C Robinson, Diagne.

      Evening fella.........I like the team ( again ) Personally, I think your GK is a bigger problem than Gundog.....Martinez or the Leeds keeper, and roll the other FT

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I’ll only use 1FT. 0.1 off Mendy >> Martinez. Not sure I fancy Leeds GK. Do you think both GKs have genuinely lost their places?

        1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          not sure if "genuinely lost their places " is the issue or question........ for me its the doubt that is enough, especially if I have a FT to burn.....go Martinez, got guaranteed at leat 2 x DGW............thank me later ......lol

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 8 Years

            I’m 0.1 off Mendy >> Martinez! Would have to use 2FTs!!

    Current defence: TAA, Rudiger, Coufal Holding, Mitchell.

    Mitchell to:
    A) Fofana

    Salah Jota Lingard (ESR Son)
    Vardy Nacho(Kane)

    1. Aladdin Sané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Probably not - possibly Dallas but I get he has the attacking threat

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He does! And he also has the chance of CS points.

      Nope

  4. TheDragon

    Are any of the following an injury doubt for the coming gameweek?

    A) Jota
    B) Phillips
    C) Lingard

    1. JBG
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A not spotted in training. But B and C should be back.

    2. Tango74
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Jota not seen in training

    3. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Apparently Jota not seen in training today. Better to wait for Klopp's presser tomorrow.

      1. Tango74
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Just need nacho injured and all bandwagons are doubts !

  5. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best defender for max 4.8? Not Rudiger.

    1. JBG
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Phillips, Coady, Coufal or Dunk.

    2. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Veltman

    3. Mookty
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Veltman for SHU?

  6. Mookty
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Struggling to find somebody to transfer here.... :-S I have 2 FTs! £0 ITB. Any suggestions?

    Mendy
    TAA, Coady, Rudiger, Coufal, Holding
    Lingard, Salah, Jota, Fernandes
    Iheanacho

    Forster, Vydra, Kane, Son

    Kane to Vardy for a week?

    Sell Mendy and Forster?

    1. Tango74
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Jota missed training

      1. Mookty
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Perhaps he was training inside?

        I'm scraping the barrel here. Might do Coufal to Veltman....

        Will Mendy start I wonder....

  7. beetlejuice
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    You guys reckon Vydra plays vs Wolves?

    1. Mookty
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      The FFS Team News says yes. I have him too :-S

      1. beetlejuice
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        It's old one and usually they are bad at predicting. Last week they expected Saka not to play for instance.

    2. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Barnes and JRod back aren't they?

  8. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Martinez
    Shaw Rudiger Phillips Dias!
    Salah Bruno Jota Lingard
    DCL Nacho

    (Fabri Kane! Son! Struijk)

    Thoughts on these transfers for -8?

    Phillips, Dias & Son ➡️ TAA, Veltman & Greenwood

    If Jota is injured will sell him for Maddison instead of Phillips to Veltman.

    1. Going Home

      What’s this about a jota injury?

      1. Karan14

        Not pictured in training. Will have to wait for Klopp update tom.

    Maddison for Son this week and then Bruno to Son next week legit?

  11. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Guy's, I need your help.......I have 2 x FT for which I intend to roll 2 into next week. I still have FH.....( team linked ).

    I was thinking of losing Regg or Alonso for a Wolves defender Sais/Coady ?? but Regg has SHU after the blank ?? what do you suggest ???? If I roll i burn a FT.........

    Martinez.
    Alonso, Ruddi, TAA, Holding
    Maddi, Salah, Bruno, Jota
    Nacho, Vydra.

    Bench: Forster, Kane, Son, Regg.........

    1. Mookty
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I am in more or less the same position but with:

      Mendy
      TAA, Coady, Rudiger, Coufal, Holding
      Lingard, Salah, Jota, Fernandes
      Iheanacho

      Forster, Vydra, Kane, Son

      1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        So, what are you going to do ??

        1. Mookty
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I just watched two videos on YouTube and still have no idea.

    2. Farteta
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would go for it - if Alonso doesn't play, you won't have anyone coming off your bench. So Alonso out for Coady/Shaw? Frees up funds to upgrade Vydra if needed too

      1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I agree but if I upgrade Alonso I have nothing from my bench ??

        1. Farteta
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          True but Coady/Shaw are sure starters. Alonso is not. You could always do Reg -> Coady and forget the SHU game. I don't rate spurs clean sheet potential anyway

  12. Vlekz
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Which Leicester defender to get for reguilon?(max 5.9)
      A)castagne
      B) pereira
      C)any non Leicester defender (which one? I got alonso Shaw TAA rudiger)

      1. JohnnyRev7
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Watch the game tonight. I'm looking at Castagne. Or Forfana.

    • winchester
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Advice needed here lads, have 2ft. No chips

      mendy (foester)
      taa rudiger coady lowton (mitchell)
      bruno salah jota lingard (son)
      ihenacho (kane davis)

      Son -> maddison?

      1. Farteta
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Get a playing goalkeeper in case both lose their spots and switch lowton out for holding/phillips if fit

    • chaser123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Only have 4.3 to replace Masuaku with. Are Webster or Burn bad choices?

      1. JohnnyRev7
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Not really, but for GW33 both probably have a maximum points ceiling of 6pts. No real attacking threat.

        Assuming BHA win, the BAPs are awarded further up the field.

    • Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

      Right... thinking I remove Son and someone else (need 0.9m) for Salah and ___? 2FT 2.4m ITB. Thoughts appreciated! 🙂

      Martinez (Forster)
      Rudiger Shaw TAA Johnson* (Dias)
      Bruno Jota Lingard (Son Gundogan)
      Vardy Vydra (Kane)

      1. JohnnyRev7
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Does Son --> Salah & Vydra --> Ihenacho work?

      Hi All,

      been away from FPL for a bit. Question, when is the next DGW? which teams are likely to be involved?

      Might be playing WC this weekend.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Ben Crellin on twitter

    • Jimmy Boy
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Chasing in mini leagues and considering Pulisic (c) this week, am I finally losing the plot?

      1. JBG
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yes

        1. Jimmy Boy
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Who will you be backing?

          1. JBG
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            If I had TAA I would C him. But it has to be Salah or Bruno for me. Maybe Greenwood. But I'm in the lead in 2 MLs so have to be borihg for the rest of the season.

      2. SteJ
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        What gap are you chasing and how different are the teams?
        You might want to match captains and make small gains with differentials. If they dont work out you can go crazy later on.
        If you have a huge gap to cover, then just go for it.
        I'm about 90points behind in some of mine, but have a very different team with favourable fixtures, and FH chip left, so I'm not panicing with left field captain choices just yet

        1. Jimmy Boy
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          In most of my leagues we're looking at a roughly 40/50 point gulf for a respectable finish. However almost everyone has Kane and Son and despite me pulling away from the pack getting rid of Fernandes a few weeks ago it hasn't really given me much of a net gain in points. Everyone else has used their free hits and City/Spurs players are popular so I'm hoping to capitalise by using my free hit this week.

      3. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years

        Yup

      2. Jimmy Boy

      Best def to replace Alonso with one eye on the potential double? FH in the potential blank 36

      B. Fofana
      D. Other suggestion that is not Wolves

      (sorry for re-post, bottomed in old article)

      DGW35 seems a real damp squid as far as DGW's go- the better teams have dire fixtures, and the likes of Palace , Everton or Southampton doesn't exactly fill you with excitement. And BGW36 might not be too difficult to navigate either. So is there still a case for FH GW 33?
      Quick poll, for those of you with Free Hit still left, what are your plans (and why):

      A) FH in GW33
      B) Save FH for possible DGW35
      C) Save FH for possible blank GW (likely GW36)
      D) FH in GW38

      1. notlob legin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        B or C dependant in fixtures

        1. notlob legin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          "on" LOL

      2. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Team dependant. It would've been wise to include how your team is set up for 33. I'm leaning towards using FTs to load up in doubles then FH36 to cover the players that blank

        1. Pompel
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Current team is, after a -4 to get TAA and Holding for Stones and AWB:

          Martinez
          TAA Holding Konsa Rudiger
          Salah Lingard Fernandes Raphina*
          Nacho Bamford
          (Areola* Kane* Son* Dallas)
          0 FT, £0m itb

          So I can get by in GW33 having covered most bases except Jota, but could do with a couple of differentials like Vardy, Greenwood, Dunk, Castagne/Pereira

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Team is for 33. I do understand where you are coming from. If you feel you can take advantage of FH33 then go for it. When I look at potential BGW36, I could triple up on City vs New, Villa vs Palace and Everton vs SHU

              Everton vs SHU is interesting, and City vs Newcastle could be good if one felt confident who should play. Villa vs Palace not so much, already have Martinez

                Surely that advantage of triple city over other team could be a grest differential if you get it right. FH gives you that flexibility to get that combo right based on team news and previous players mins, City fans prediction on forums etc

      Can WBA pull off a draw here?

      Would be remarkable, Leicester should prosper but this stage of the season you never know.

        If so likely 2-2 or a winner by the odd goal.

      Just in so apologies if this is stupid.

      Why is everyone getting rid of Mendy? Just for his one benching?

        Fear! Kepa 5th CS in the 5 games he has started. Mendy hasn't done anything wrong. He is still #1 and expect him to start

        Another haul incoming. But I guess 50% of active players have him

      The contrast between these kits is very satisfying
