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.

      Oof nacho clean through overruns it with a bad touch

          In for a good game, WBA attacking as they have to now. Not sure if they'll continue if they get the first goal

        Vardy would have scored that.

          If only...

          He would - poor technique from Nacho.

        3. Royal5
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Certainly not. He has like 1 goal in the last 20 games.

        So last week I benched Iheanacho and played Diagne, this week vice versa.. Diagne will go and score a brace now.

        Why PL Towers are so selfish? Just announce the doubles already.

        Do they prefer we to talk about the ESL?

        Last time they postponed it 5 minutes after the deadline on purpose now they should announce it before the deadline.

        Let's start a PR Campaign.

        They'll surely follow

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah if they know already what the plan is then it is stupid to delay telling us, no idea what they get out of withholding

              • 14 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Last time they delayed it on purpose even managers were announcing that is bound to happen, I am sure they waited the deadline to pass

          • Qaiss
            • 8 Years

            You do realise it’s such a small minority of people who are actually bothered about when doubles are announced? Everyone is in the same boat anyway.

            1. FPL Daniel
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              People need to learn about the new fixtures and bringing people back to the stadium instead of talking about ESL.

              Bringing back fans is huge.

              Also 8 million play this game, that is not few in my dictionary

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

                8 million players is a lot. But the vast majority of that 8 million aren’t bothered by fixture announcements. It’s better if they make it harder for us anyway, more skill required.

                1. @persecuted_by_mods
                    3 years, 1 month ago

                    Isn't the skill in predicting which players will do well, rather than fixture guessing?

                    We're all in the same boat sure but I just genuinely don't get what benefit it gives them to delay announcements until 1 min after the deadline

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

                      The skill comes with if you think there will be a DGW, saving some transfers.

                      If a DGW is announced very early, then everyone will adopt the exact same strategy going into that DGW.

                        Whilst a Nacho goal would be nice, having Vardy hauling tonight would be a lovely differential double up.

                            They way WBA are playing anyone with a double Leicester attack should end the night with a haul

                          Hey Everyone

                          What do you guys think of this wildcard.

                          Sanchez
                          TAA- Phillips- Dallas (struijk, holding)
                          Salah -bruno- rashford- lingard (gundo)
                          Vardy - nacho - watkins

                          I can lower gundo and get a better keeper.

                          Suggestions and ratings on the team are much needed thanks.

                            I'm looking at Laca/Son > Watkins/Salah

                              Watkins has the form. Not sure how to feel about his fixtures.

                                Move for Bamford in short time.

                                  That’s what I was thinking. Maybe I’ll go for Bamford right away and save a transfer to sort out other issues.

                            I don't see Wolves keeping a CS in the next two games. Burnley and wolves have been more attacking in recent games. Wolves still conceding chances

                                Dallas - OOP, great fixtures after Utd and Leeds def have tightened up in recent games

                              Could get two cs's in next three if lucky, that's good enough,

                              I had to look that one up -- Sadly, they only had 1 big hit in the US. I think you know which one it is (it reached #1 too!) Insanely catchy...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrkNoWIho_M

                          Vardy ... if that was Nacho today he would have missed that ... be awful so far.
