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

  6. Az

  7. Le _ Professeur
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Walcott moves very good on the pitch .. but final touch is very poor :/

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      As ever

  8. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Fuchs, Capoue, Jakupovic and Friend on my bench. Cant wait for this season to be over.

    1. RÏɠBY
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      1. Bubz

    2. Just Been On Loan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Have exactly the same bench. Was convinced there was zero chance of clean sheets in that game

    3. AA
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Jakupovic, Manloney, Morgan and Mee on my bench.

  9. TheSteel

  10. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Thoughts on Bolasie ?

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Was very good when he came on. Almost assisted a Lukaku goal

      1. Odikostar
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Those two gonna be some duo

        1. Yome
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Yes indeed, they will tear Bournemouth apart

      2. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers, was thinking of getting him for Alli, will use the money to upgrade Firmino to Hazard

        1. Yome
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Good moves, need Haz for Burnley

  11. Cooper123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Did anyone see the Spurs game? Worth keeping Alli?

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      He was benched, i'm selling

    2. teddyp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Looked good when he came on. I'm still probably selling

  12. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    See ya Sanchez!

  13. Robe Wan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Weekus horribilis

    Another 22 benched points

  14. oli7
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    How did Lamela look today thinking of switching Alli to him

  15. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    65 with Valdes left.Average around these parts i guess. 🙁

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Add the really happy posters
      scores to the really sad ones then divide.
      That's how you work our the average round here.

      1. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        The sad ones don't post

    2. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not really. Decent score

  16. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    This Arsenal, Leicester and Spurs CS will hurt my rank.

  17. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I have 2 Fts...thinking of using them on Deulofeu and Musa.

    Seems reasonable to remove both, right?

    1. trequartista
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks!

    2. Seabreeze
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I have 2 FT's and I'm using mine to get out Firm and Musa, so seems reasonable to me.

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks!

    3. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

  18. trequartista
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Thinking of
    Vardy and Dele Alli out for > Ibra and Bolasie

    Sounds good?
    leaves me with a front 8 of
    Alexis-Redmond-Oscar-Bolasie
    Aguero-Ibra-Gray

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years

    3. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Was think of Bolasie as well, think he'll start next game ?

      1. trequartista
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yes I do

  19. The Iron Tulip

      fpl lazy

  20. Live Lad
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I still think Firmino will come good. Sturridge played deep at times or drifted wide, and wasn't sharp.

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I am giving firmino one more week.

    2. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Torn. Those fixtures are muck. These first two were the ones I got him in for.

  21. Ser Davos
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Currently playing Capoue ahead of Routledge next week...

    1. RÏɠBY
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      congrats.. try the olives they're stuffed

  22. Rococo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Is it worth moving Firmino to Barkley?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I'm holding. Spurs away is were a Klopp side will thrive

      1. Rococo
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah. Might give him one more week.

    2. Just Been On Loan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Have the same dilemma here. Feel like it's necessary, and frees up some cash

    3. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, but Bolasie for value

  23. Le _ Professeur
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    44 without bonus .. Friend and Ramirez (c) to go 😐

  24. dhamphiir
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Should I do this transfer for free ?Vardy + Van Dijk --> Ibrahimovic + Williams

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    2. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Seems good to me..

  25. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I have 2 FT's Firmino and Leko >. Someone & Capoue? I know Capoue got a knock but want to catch his price rise tonight

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Go for Maloney, a nice differential...he got a goal and an assist today

      1. Frank Black
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        He played 18 minutes...terrible option. Insane actually.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Straight swap Firm >Pogba

  26. rozzo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Need 1.6m in order to swap Vardy to Zlatan.

    A) Mahrez to Lamela
    B) Hazard to Lamela
    C) Firmino to Redmond

    Thanks

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      C

    2. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Mahrez for me

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

        Could easily have had decent points again today

  27. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    A bet on Wenger getting the best out of both games with a comment like:
    ''We scored 3 against Liverpool, so no striker is needed, we kept a clean sheet away to the Champions, so we don't need a defender either.''

    1. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Arsenal fans don't even need the manager.

    2. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      So much intelligence... yet so much delusion.

  28. Jebiga
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    is capoue injured or what ?

  29. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Who is better value after today's game, Barkley (7.6m) or Mirallas (6.5m)?

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not Mirallas, think he will lose his spot soon

  30. le flem
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    alli to redmond- yay or nay?

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yay yay

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

      Thinking of removing Alli too. Looks good

    3. Jimmers
