Vardy and Iheanacho set to define Blank Gameweek 33 in Monday-night clash

Leicester’s attack looks set to have the defining say on Blank Gameweek 33 as Crystal Palace come to the King Power Stadium.

It has been a low-scoring round thus far but Jamie Vardy (£10.3m) and Kelechi Iheanacho (£6.2m) could make all the difference.

24.1% of Fantasy Premier League managers own the Foxes’ talismanic forward for Blank Gameweek 33, who is fresh from two double-digit hauls across his last four matches.

Meanwhile, 21.5% of teams worldwide come into the latest round with Iheanacho in their team, while just over 10% of the top 10,000 managers captained him.

However, the real difference makers are those who own both, just 4.8% of managers overall in possession of the two Leicester strikers.

The pair are less differential in the top 10k, 23.7% of them owning Vardy and Iheanacho for Blank Gameweek 33.

For the second match in a row James Maddison (£7.3m) is at number 10 while Timothy Castagne (£5.8m) and Luke Thomas (£4.1m) provide width as wing-backs with Ricardo Pereira (£5.9m) on the bench.

Crystal Palace face Leicester’s 3-4-1-2 system with their usual 4-4-2 formation, with Wilfried Zaha (£7.1m) and Christian Benteke (£5.5m) up-front and Jordan Ayew (£5.6m) on the right-hand flank of midfield.

    What a waste of time Kane > Vardy for a week was. Vardy is that one player in all these years playing that never does anything when I own.

    1. Nanoelektronicar

      Not only a transfer but 0.4 itb for me too.

        3 years, 9 days ago

        I brought him in on 31 WC so lost only .1, Kane didn’t even fall in price

      If you're first, you're first. If you're second, you're nothing.

      Are there only two teams in your ML?

      1. Gentle_Turks

        3 years, 9 days ago

        Lol.

      2. Fudgy
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 days ago

        No there's lots. Me and this guy are just much better than everyone else

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 days ago

          The good thing about having good competition in a ML is it gives you a target to aim at if your not top. Which helps your OR.

          1. Fudgy
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 9 days ago

            I know. He has his free hit however so I'm going to have to do something very special

  6. The 12th Man

    61 -16 here. Pretty pleased with only a 9k rank drop with that size hit. 89k >> 98k

    Bench one?

    A. Greenwood (Liverpool)
    B. Bamford (Brighton)
    C. Jota (United)

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      Think I’m either selling or benching Jota this week.

  8. The Polymath

    A) Bring in Kane for Watkins and take a hit for the funds
    B) Or straight swap with Vardy for free (Already have Nacho)

  9. Quartz
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 days ago

    Nacho the man

  10. Blzbobuk
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 days ago

    Insane in the membrane l, I’m insane I’ve got no Kane.

    So should I -4 to get him in for shu lee or keep vardy for the expected sou and double and then bring in Kane in the blank.
