    Maddison not even on the bench. Ah well, looks like Soucek is finally going to get a run out for me :p

    Like when they don't start and not even benched.

    And at least I ain't looking at fodder on my bench after WCing.

    I made a mistake in that team I’ve started McCarthy.

    Yeah benched Bamford but I think wba have improved hugely and I’ve seen Leeds the last couple of games and haven’t been too impressed with him. So it’s a calculated call also influenced with Souceks last two hauls laughing at me from the bench.

    Also last 5 gw points-
    Soucek 31
    Bamford 29

    I would be more inclined to bench DCL based on form - think he has 21 points in the last 5 - and only has one goal in the last 6 games. Bamford on penalties increases his value.

    People still own him? A player who didn't feature in 8 GWs?

    Yep he's been my third sub, haven't ever needed my third sub so grand to have him there for 4m and not waste a transfer.

    A very lonely Vardy owner here who just sold Mitchell to Johnson. At least Riedewald starts to get me some appearance points :o

    Vardy more than capable of coming off the bench and scoring, I wouldn't lose hope yet!

    I have a fuzzy feeling that DCL will get returns against city so I didn’t consider taking him out in the 3 minutes I had when I checked my team before the deadline :)
    I had a whopping 26 points on the bench last gw with Souceks 10 first sub so that could well happen again with Bamford etc. I enjoy having a good bench to choose from around xmas though.

    We all know what happened a big player came off the bench against Palace!

    First half of season WC team ends as:

    McCarthy (Johnstone)
    Robertson, Chilwell, Justin, KWP, Dallas
    Salah, Son, Fernandes, Soucek (Anguissa)
    Vardy, Adams, Bamford

    I expected the Vardy benching and for at least Chilwell to be benched but the moves were made with the longer term in mind and I don’t like playing a WC being committed to future transfers - there are too many variables.

    BBC:

    James Tomkins clups Luke Thomas in the box when he's played in by Harvey Barnes.

    Iheanacho missing good opportunities, Leicester creating. This is set up for a Vardy Party.

    Interesting stat:

    10 - Leicester City have been awarded their 10th penalty in their 16th game of the season, the earliest a team has been awarded as many penalties in a Premier League campaign, surpassing Blackburn's 25 games in 1994-95. Spotted.

    Banked the transfer after coming very close to getting rid of KDB and/or Grealish for various different combinations of Son, Maddison and others.

    Martinez

    Robertson | Taylor | Dias | Coufal

    KDB | Grealish | Salah (C) | Bruno

    Bamford | DCL

    Subs: Wellbeck | Anguissa | Mitchell

    Hoping that Grealish, DCL and KDB reward my patience, loyalty and understanding

    This is a dreadful game. Bar the saved penalty, there's been very little goalmouth action. 0-0 all over it.

    More City players testing positive apparently. Haven't heard of this journalist before though.

    I'd imagine Vardy might appear second half, wouldn't rule out a goal in this game
