sounds about right. Daka finally scores and Mendy our best player last week both now not starting ....

Yep. Dropping Mendy in particular would be baffling unless Ndidi has suddenly proved in training that he's back to his 2018 mode.

It would kind of make sense if he was dropping Maddison back into being an 8 with KDH and Ndidi being a lone 6 (and Ndidi somehow looked good again)

 

But you just know it will be a double pivot of Ndidi and KDH which doesn't work

Ndidi and Mendy is horrible together, don’t forget. 
 

Wilf will play the majority of the game covering Grimmy and Amartey anyway.

Always hard to fathom out the 'Elite' One's logic these days but I suspect that he's concerned about Brentford's strength and height at set pieces. Ndidi will help in that regard, I guess?

Just seen via that Sam Martin on Twitter that there’s a good chance Iversen starts tomorrow.

 

He’s right more often than not when it comes to our lineups in fairness.

Also says Amartey starting.

[st albans fox]

With amartey and souttar as a CB pairing, Brendan will either play two defensive midfielders infront (mendy and wilf ) or he will drop wilf into a back 3

 

 

[TeamRocket]

5-1 og by them and they win. He stays and says we got one goal back and we showed some fight and the world is wondering if football has changed and the foxes fans just didn't get the memo due to fax machine being broken and fact is, that it's not about finishing high anymore and it's the the first team to get relegated that wins a cup of gets millions more money and increase of 40k fan base 

[Vazman]

I just hope we win, I need cheering up, I promised the Wife I wont be grumpy no matter what the score. 

[sishades]

Tomorrow I finally, after 40 years will get into the 92 club. Big thanks to one of own for getting me a ticket. Perfect day to be spoilt by a hammering from the Bees.

[The Year Of The Fox]

Lump on Brentford tomorrow at almost evens

Probably a back three with Wilf. Irrelevant who the Muppet selects or what system he plays. If absentees reduced the side to a virtual U23 team he'd still have them playing the same tippy tappy crap that has got us in this mess in the first place. The words Pony, Trick and One spring to mind.

Does anybody believe anything the Mercury says or whichever one it is. They're claiming Evans was due to start but injured again and that the Danish manager is saying Kristenson isn't injured and should be starting.

[VinceNoir]

 

I generally find these FPL content creators to be complete melts, but this could be potentially be interesting. 
 

This is apparently Maddison’s team. And he has allegedly played his Wildcard chip, making a host of changes - including bringing in Iversen instead of Ward. By no means “confirmation that Ward has lost his spot” but interesting nonetheless given that Ward and Iversen cost basically the same in the game. 

 

Edit: Only just realised that there’s a bunch of Iversen speculation on the previous page. Sorry!

Hate to admit this but I wish Leicester had the passion like I see forest play , I see they winning again tonight, gutted , I’m praying we win tomorrow at Brentford

Yeah but has also lined up Toney and Mee. Not much faith in tomorrw then 👀

[Chelmofox]

Iversen going to have a blinder tomorrow. Can see us dominating this and getting a decent result.

 

I hate the confidence booze gives me on a friday.

Seriously how many have u had? 

[KrefelderFox666]

The thing is, this team is more than capable of turning up and taking all 3 points. We just don't show it enough.

 

You'd think a comfortable home win but who knows we might sneak a result

[RowlattsFox]

Obviously win is needed but avoid a defeat at the very least.

I never bet for or against Leicester but some of the odds this season have been incredible, it’s like 

the bookies haven’t seen us play.

The money I’ve made this season on us conceding over 1.5 goals when a certain ‘defence’ is starting (apart from the bizarre run of clean sheets that hammered the profits a little)!

A defence containing Ward, Faes and Amartey usually concede quite readily.

Yeah, there’s money to be made, I just can’t bring myself to do it.

 

[Aus Fox]

Just t he thought of Iversen starting ahead of Ward gives us a huge boost. We may not have to score twice to get something here.

I’m going for a 2-1 win, Madders loves winding this lot up and a late goal from Vardy to prove he’s not quite over the hill yet.

Question i ask myself is how much would I pay for Leicester to win tomorrow.

 

Whatever that amount is, I back against at a double chance. It’s just a bit of a softener.
 

I stuck 200 on us to go down at 14/1 when we were looking terrible. May as well make some money from us being shit.
