I'm about 17 weeks too late, but I'm finally gonna transfer in Kasper and Huth into my fantasy team.

I was running away with my league, now I'm 4th. If only I didn't announce in February that I was intending to change my team name next season.

Fuchs not Huth please

cheaper, plenty of assists and he is going to score a free kick any game now

i went and dropped kasper so i could put Huth into my team (only 3 players per team) so brought in forster just when kasper started scoring points and forster start letting goals in

dont you just hate fantasy

tighty why fuchs and not huth?

we have had 9 clean sheets in 13 games so a lot of teams are going to have 1 or 2 leicester defenders in them. i think i would have 1 not 2 from here as southampton, west ham etc doesn't compare too favourably to the recent run of norwich, west brom, palace, newcastle etc

kasper is popular in teams

Huth also because he pops up with set piece goals

but i want to be a bit contrarian and score points when other teams aren't

Fuchs last time i looked was cheaper than huth and at schalke was a free kick specialist.

he takes corners and gets up for crosses so assists are a possibility 

not many will have him, so if he comes off one game you'll have a point of difference relative to other teams

someone like Dazzler is better at this than me, but i have Fuchs when my main oppo all have kasper/huth

just looked

fuchs £5m owned by 5%

huth £4.9m owned by 15%

ergo if fuchs come off you stand a chance of making progress relative to others, need to fade huth at set pieces

Kasper £4.7m owned by 12%

Hadn't considered Fuchs, food for thought. Is Morgan not a decent shout as well, assuming he's significantly less popular than Huth? Less of a set piece threat but offset by his lack of popularity.

fml what has my life come to.

Morgan also only selected by 5%

significantly less chance of attacking points though, same as Danny Smpson

against that £700k cheaper

Fuchs is a bonus point magnet as well. Havne't seen much of Leicester this season that isn't match of the day, but he must put himself about a  bit.

Very much this.
I have a big problem with the bonus points system but as it stands, Fuchs is the best Leicester defender to have.
Having said that, you probably shouldn't be buying any Leicester players at all at the moment. With the double gameweeks (DGW) coming up, you should probably be loading up on DGW players.
But that's another story........Smiley

even though the mere mention of it is putting the cart before the horse, this is ridiculous.

Leicester to be placed in top Champions League pot if they win the Premier League. More: http://skysports.tv/Cx1Ou7  



I love that. It would look even better if Kiev were replaced by the CL winner if Real Madrid, Atletico or, with a miracle, City won it.

Totally rooting for Leicester to win the league now  and, whilst City are at risk,  a top 4 of  Leicester, Spurs, City and West Ham would be brilliant with none of the original Big 4 making it through Smiley

The important question is how do you FEEL right now?

It was introduced for the first time this season and pre-dates the current wildcard nonsense. UEFA gave these reasons:

Infantino said before it ws introduced “People had difficulties in understanding how the champion of a country is in a lower pot than the third-ranked in that country.

“This will give another dynamic with the draw and in the way the groups are composed. It will be approved with the regulations at the start of next year.

“The club committee felt that there should be somehow an additional award given to the winners of the different national competitions.”

If the league finishes Leicester, Spurs, City, Arsenal  then under the old system Arsenal would go through the qualifying game to get to the group stage and then because their coefficient is still good they would be seeded in Pot 1. City would be Pot 2, Spurs Pot 3 and Leciester Pot 4. Strikes me that the new system is better!

I think when we got drawn in the 'group of champions' a few years ago (City, Madrid, Ajax and Dortmund) kinda brought it home how archaic the seeding system was. I think if you win the league then you deserve top billing.

I think it is driven by Arsenal consistently coming 4th in the league, getting dirt easy group as number 1 seed and then being anihilated as soon as they play anything of merit in the knockout round.  Arsenal were a poster child for champions league mediocrity, a complete waste of space,  so thankfully they have made a change.

What Tom said. Fuchs in a bonus points magnet - says the man who benched him against Palace - below is a link to a spreadsheet (not my work) that has the baseline BPS for every defender in the game. By baseline that means it doesn't take into account any positive actions (goals, assists etc) or negative actions (yellow cards, red cards etc). It's a good indicator of which defenders are likely to pick up bonus points in 1-0/2-0 wins and also those that will pick up three or two BPS should they score/assist.

Note how far Fuchs is ahead of his Leicester counterparts, how Williams - who has the most BPS of any defender - crushes at Swansea etc. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WN7wHzk8VeoCdPEZM40uFi0UVUVM81RU9dNl5R1GlBc/pubhtml#

Tighty did you listen to the Leicester: The Impossible Team documentary on Radio 5 tonight? I caught the first half live and thought it was very good. Will catch up with the second half via iplayer/podcast.
