Saturday evening comes to a conclusion at the King Power as champions Leicester go head-to-head with Arsenal.

Both sides are already playing catch-up after losing their opening matches of the season.

Claudio Ranieri welcomes back Robert Huth from suspension after conceding twice to Hull last weekend. The Foxes boss also opts to recall Shinji Okazaki and Marc Albrighton as Ahmed Musa and Demarai Gray drop to the bench. New signing Nampalys Mendy comes in for Andy King in the centre of the park.

Arsenal, meanwhile, bring in Santi Cazorla, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Granit Xhaka and Laurent Koscielny as they attempt to bounce back from Sunday’s home loss to Liverpool. Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud are deemed fit enough to take their places on the bench.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Barkley+Pogba in for Alli and Firmino?

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not Barkely. Lamela maybe. Dont trust Everton.

    4. The Road to Turfdom
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not for me. Prefer Lamela, Martial, Cazorla etc

    5. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not keen on Barkley nor Pogba

    Hmm, so it turns out Andre Gray is a complete and utter tool. Disappointing.

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Indeed.

    2. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ

      I thought his tweets were funny.

        Wishing gay people to die & burn is funny? Wtf is wrong with you?

            • 12 Years

            Well his tweets consisted of that, so.

    3. Cecil The Lion

      10 years, 1 month ago

      So is Vardy. Didn't stop him from becoming an English hero

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Why?

    5. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, but remember "chat sh*t get banged" from last year?

    6. AnfieldLad
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Do you think he will see any backlash from them?

    7. devils advocate
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Why? He did quite well this week.

    8. thepeen555

      Expect no less from people and u won't get shocked when people let u down

    9. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      What has he said?

        1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers mate. Silly boy, but this is 4 years ago. Where was he then? Probably nowhere! Can't condone the remarks, but put it down to immaturity and the fact he's probably concentrated his education in football (not meant to offend)

            • 12 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            "Not meant to offend"

            He used the hashtags #burn and #die

    10. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He doesn't seem too bright, no..

    11. TOLV TUMS
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Wow - makes me want to drop him on principle

      1. Cecil The Lion
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Did you drop Vardy last season?

    12. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm really not bothered. Suarez & Vardy have been two of my best fantasy performers. I don't need or expect any of them to be nice people.

  4. Jay Jay Okocha
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy and Feghouli to ... ?

    A) Lukaku + Redmond
    B) Gray + Firmino/Barkley

  5. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years

    BEnched Fuchs 🙁

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same. For Stones. Infuriating.

    2. The Road to Turfdom
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Doubt this finishes 0-0

    3. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Morgan for me.

  6. Jamie_GAWA
    • 10 Years

    Alli staying in a home Teams?

    1. Jamie_GAWA
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Anyones*

    2. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      if he's going to drop can't risk it

    3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Already out to accommodate Ibra

      1. thepeen555
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Lamela switch?

  7. MGD
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    The Ox also looking good. Why no more buzz about him for 6m?

    1. JIM BOB
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Presumably this is a joke?

    2. Pazzify
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not nailed

    3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Seriously? He's been woeful

      1. MGD
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Meant to write Walcott ^_^

        1. MGD
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          And mixed up the prices, ofc he is 7.5.

          1. Andy_Social
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Are you Benteke's 'twitter manager'? 😉

        2. thepeen555

          Ha ha

  8. El-Kloppico
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone who watched the EVE match can please rate Lukaku for me?
    How was he? With the juicy fixtures ahead, is it worth going Vardy > Lukaku?

    1. Bunk Moreland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He didnt start.

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yep, but what about the 2nd half?
        Was he any good?

    2. KUNingas
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking about that too

  9. Winks Club
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Why would they penalize Fantasy players who own gray, just because of some old tweets he's written?

    Don't really get what I've done wrong getting him in my team... Do they expect us to dig the durt before choosing our teams?

    He should be penalized if that seems sensible, not us.

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      😮

    2. Worzel Gummidge

      LOL

    3. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Don't think they really consider fantasy football players, to be fair!

    4. Pazzify
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm sure the FA care about your fantasy team

      1. Winks Club
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        It's just pointless taking his bps off.

        1. Worzel Gummidge
          10 years, 1 month ago

          That is not why they took his bps off FFS. Wise up.

    5. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      How have you been penalised??

    6. Rogue Todd
      • 11 Years

      lol

    7. Optimus.
      • 15 Years

      Enjoy prison!

    8. TOLV TUMS
      • 11 Years

      um... does not compute...

    9. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      What makes you think they're coming after FPL gray owners? Paranoia is treatable.

      1. Totally !rre!evant
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Lol

  10. JIM BOB

    All Leicester at the minute

  11. Make United Great Again
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Currently on 58 pre bonus with only Ramirez left to play. How is that compared to most on here?

    Not gloating genuinely want to know.

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      104 for me. Better luck next time.

      1. French Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        thin brag

    2. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      68 all out

    3. Kante Be Bothered
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      i got 67 i think with no players to go

    4. Rewant-WantToWinEverything!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      69 with Aguero and Gray bonus points remaining and Capoue coming off the bench for Willian

      1. thepeen555
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I don't think gray is getting points is what I am hearing

        1. Rewant-WantToWinEverything!
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          :(..then kevin friend is also yet to play!

          1. thepeen555
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            *thumbs up*

    5. Pierce34
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      66 pre bonus, all out. Will reduce if Arsenal score.

    6. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Average I'd guess

    7. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      70+- vardy & fuchs

    8. Epic Fail

      Fix your team link 😀

    9. Friend Stones Mee: Vaz Te M…
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Well, it´s 74 with Sanchez still going on and Friend yet to play.
      Quite happy at the moment; of course wishing some splendid points from this lovely still-going-on.

      And then there was dissappoinment.

    10. Oooof
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      60 with Vardy points to come

  12. Worzel Gummidge
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ball to balls for Kosh. Give them a rub son.

  13. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Holding could be an option

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      The defender not the action of 'holding'

    2. Kante Be Bothered
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      An option to a very leaky Arsenal

      1. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He's 4.5m. What more do you want?!

        1. Kante Be Bothered
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Clean Sheets + Goals

          1. thepeen555
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            This but how likely will he stay playing when others are fit - doubtful

  14. Dumpo
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Eriksen + Kane --> Sanchez + Benteke

    Any other suggestions welcome, Eriksen for sure needs to get binned off I feel now Alli is sharing minutes with him.

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez owner here. Far too much money tied up for no returns. Looking to get rid if blanks.

      Benteke also massive risk.

  15. dykeypunk
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    @nichola adams. Smiling assasin doesnt cover it

  16. Banana Shaqiri - HMD, PUP
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino out, Capoue in, Long out, Costa in, 1m in bank 4pt hit

    Front 7 of lamela, Mahrez, Capoue, Redmond, kun, Zlat & Costa

    Thoughts?

  17. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard Payet Eriksen Redmond Fletcher
    Kun Costa Llorente

    Anyone dropping in price tonight?
    1FT
    Suggestions??

  18. Jonny Sutt
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Do people think 2 weeks is too soon to get rid of Firmino?

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It will be 3 weeks when he blanks against a strong Spurs defense

    2. Cecil The Lion
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm considering it

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No

  19. Just Been On Loan
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Not the most original move, but Firmino to Barkley and pocket the cash for now?
    Not sure who else to opt for as a replacement - rest of MF is Haz, Lamela, Redmond, Capoue

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      exact same midfield i have

  20. The Fantastic Mr Fox
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I think Heaton will be the new Butland. or a repeat Heaton from 14-15.. He was the first name in my squad. I'm thinking of playing him every game irrespective of fixture

    1. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      thats what im doing, him and 4.0 playing Heaton every week

    2. wowBOBwow
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah I have Heaton/Robinson. Very low stress GK strategy- I love it.

    3. Bellerinmondo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Heaton + 4.0 or Foster + 4.0 best options I reckon

  21. fiveyears
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Come on Leicester

  22. RubberDucky
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Maybe the site is playing up bit where are Aguero's Baps?

    1. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      baps aren't added till after last match of day

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Wait for the update.

  23. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    May be time to start playing Capoue as 4th mid and getting another cheap enabler to get Ibra in.

  24. wowBOBwow
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone know what the likely price changes tonight will be?

    It's almost bedtime here in Oz and I don't want to wake up to a 9.9m Vardy or a 6.4m Townsend...

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      check fpm stats

      1. Kante Be Bothered
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        fpl

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      According to FPLStats

      Capoue, Kun, Diomande, Walker should rise. Collins likely too. Amat and Haz possible. Snoddy over 85 pct.

      http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk/

  25. rocrocodile
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who replaces Firmino? Possible one week punt.

    Pogba?
    Tadic?
    Sterling?
    Others?

    Haz - Mahrez - FIRMINO - Redmond - Capoue

    1. MGD
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Got the same dilemma but have 2 FTs.

      FIRMINO - DELA - Hazard, Tadic, Fletcher.

    Re the old tweets posted by Gray: I think any FFS members who tweeted something several years ago that they now regret should be banned from playing forever. Seems fair?

      If it went unpunished when it occurred, then that's a problem. Gray wasn't punished.
