The Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Leicester City

In a battle for supremacy at the summit, Manchester City welcome Leicester City to the Etihad. The Foxes are in the midst of a six-match unbeaten streak that started with their goalless draw in the reverse fixture, while the Sky Blues haven’t tasted defeat in seven outings.

Only two teams mustered more big chances (eight) over the last four Gameweeks than Leicester, who racked up seven goals during that period. It’s on the defensive end that Claudio Ranieiri’s troops were the most impressive, though, conceding the second-fewest goals (one), sixth-fewest shots inside the box (25) and fewest big chances (two).

Despite ranking third for attempts (61) and joint-fourth for goals (seven) since Gameweek 21, the Sky Blues recorded just 14 shots on target, engendering the worst shot accuracy (23%) of any team. On the flip side, Manuel Pellegrini’s men conceded just two goals and registered three clean sheets. Moreover, only two teams allowed fewer shots inside the box (24), while they placed joint-second-bottom with regards to big chances conceded (three).

        It'll be two once Kante's assist is removed

        1. Jayblue
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah man but still. Feels sad watching 21 points sit in the bench

    • lalua
      • 9 Years

      Que for experts
      Opponent playing AOA, Alli on bench - will a defender come in for him?

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yes if Alli doesn't play

      2. il Brutto
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yep if he doesn't feature.

          Thanks !

    • Numb
      • 9 Years

      I still fancy Kane to outscore Aguero though - goal plus bonus at least

      1. Reedy
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, I'm hopeful. Probably no more than that though, Watford are pretty tight.

        1. Numb
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Agreed

    • Bog Brush
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      great things

      mahrez
      aguero captain.

      bad things. none.

      1. Bog Brush
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        no clean sheets is great too.

      2. drughi
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Aguero captain is hardly great

        1. Bog Brush
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          its good enough

      3. Eden Azzzar
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Snap

    • Stimps
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Chances of Alli sh*ting himself on the bench?

      1. Ha.
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Slim to none

    • Fergietime
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Kun cappers happy? or would u take Kane as Cap?

      1. Bog Brush
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        i'd rather swap

      2. FPL Daniel
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Wat are playing extremely defensive with 5 in midfield. It could be low scoring. Deeney in the bench

      3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I'm happy feel like I've stolen points. I almost feel I should give the undeserved bonus points back to fpl lol

      4. drughi
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Would change to kane if I could

      5. Stephen - Robot Daniels
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Will take that over Kane

    • FPL Daniel
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      So tje crucial team news are:
      Ali benched
      Kaku starts
      Deeney benched
      Ade starts

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Baines benched Again!

        1. Bog Brush
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          who would buy him?

        2. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
          • 10 Years

          Sell Moin

            • 11 Years

            I will definitely!

        3. Frank Black
          • 11 Years

          That is going to hurt me.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            me too

      2. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        Ali will almost certainly come on

    • Stephen - Robot Daniels
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Otamendi, ******* hell

    • Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Mahrez + Aguero + City loss = I could think of worse ways to wake up in a weekend. Now if Alli can either not play 2 minutes or do something productive in their course...

    • Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
      • 10 Years

      Aguero scored but Leicester are still going to win! 😀

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        and Schmeichel got me a save point

      2. Reedy
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I'd sooner have had the Simpson cleanie but at least Mahrez is in the baps now

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          The Aguero goal wasn't good news for Cuba

    • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Why don't you shoot aguero

    • Numb

          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

    • TheBusDriver
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I hate Aguero. Lucky goal. Started Fuchs ahead of Ward and Francis. Had a feeling they could keep a clean sheet.

      1. Ayew Serious

          They could have it wrapped up by then

          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Who do they play?

      • Chucky
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Juhuu Aguero(C) finally scored.Now need Mahrez to come off my bench for Alli 🙂

      • Mr. Grv
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Kun deserved that goals for the not given penalties .

      • leo_messi
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Mahrez 3 BAPS
        Huth 2 BAPS
        Aguero 1 BAP ????

      • Royal5
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Ranieri (c)

      • Lyonnais
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Have a feeling Lukaku will get a haul today.

        1. Camp No No
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Stoke has no CB's, so odds are not bad.

      • Krul Runnings
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Didn't captain Aguero BUT his goal gets me more BOnus points for Mahrez.

      • Kagawa-san-mia
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        auger should've had two, would've made my day so good
