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?

        9 years, 6 months ago

        Not Barkely. Lamela maybe. Dont trust Everton.

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

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

        Why?

      5. Andy_Social

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

      6. AnfieldLad

        Do you think he will see any backlash from them?

      7. devils advocate

        Why? He did quite well this week.

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

      9. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 14 Years

        What has he said?

          1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 6 months 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
              9 years, 6 months ago

              "Not meant to offend"

              He used the hashtags #burn and #die

      10. It’s gonna Ben Mee

        He doesn't seem too bright, no..

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Wow - makes me want to drop him on principle

        1. Cecil The Lion
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Did you drop Vardy last season?

      12. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months 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
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Vardy and Feghouli to ... ?

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

        Morgan for me.

    6. Jamie_GAWA

      Alli staying in a home Teams?

      3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 14 Years

        Already out to accommodate Ibra

        1. thepeen555
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Lamela switch?

    7. MGD
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

      1. JIM BOB
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Presumably this is a joke?

        Seriously? He's been woeful

          Meant to write Walcott ^_^

            • 9 Years

            And mixed up the prices, ofc he is 7.5.

            1. Andy_Social
              • 13 Years

              Are you Benteke's 'twitter manager'? 😉

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months 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
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        He didnt start.

        1. El-Kloppico
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

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

      2. KUNingas
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Thinking about that too

    9. Winks Club
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months 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

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

        • Pazzify
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          I'm sure the FA care about your fantasy team

          1. Winks Club
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            It's just pointless taking his bps off.

            1. Worzel Gummidge
                9 years, 6 months ago

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

          2. Worzel Gummidge
              9 years, 6 months ago

              How have you been penalised??

                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.

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

                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.

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

                  Benteke also massive risk.

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

                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

                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

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

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

                  Heaton + 4.0 or Foster + 4.0 best options I reckon

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

                  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...

                    According to FPLStats

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

                  Who replaces Firmino? Possible one week punt.

                  Pogba?
                  Tadic?
                  Sterling?
                  Others?

                  Haz - Mahrez - FIRMINO - Redmond - Capoue

                    Got the same dilemma but have 2 FTs.

                    FIRMINO - DELA - Hazard, Tadic, Fletcher.

                    What to do, what to do... Really want to get rid of em both.

                    Payet?
                    Nolito?
                    Barkley?
                    No one for now?

                    Barkley's fixtures are some of the best out there and he has 1 g, 1 a.

                  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?
