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

    Who to bring in for Firmino?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'd keep. Ozil if definitely selling

      1. Pooodle
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Could do Barkley and Walker in for Firmino and Friend/Kone

  2. Martial Eriksen
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Just done Firmino + Routeledge > Mahrez + Capoue

    Lei have SWA liv BUR and will really look for wins, Mahrez looked good and on pens...

    Capoue just to catch the price rise hoping injury is not serious...

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Mahrez over Pogba?

      1. Martial Eriksen
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Ibra and Valencia enough...

  3. andymck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Only went and benched Heaton Morgan and Capoue didn't I.

    1. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Who wouldn't ?

  4. Red Scout
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    What to do with Vardy..stick or twist? Priced out of Ibra 🙁

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      If you can't get Ibra, get Costa

    2. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He needs to go

  5. cyclopropane

    how is Gray only getting 1BAP?

    1. Pirlø's Pen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Scandalist.

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Because of his Twitter feed

    3. Clump
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      They took some points off him.
      Penalty for his abusive tweets.

    4. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He tweeted a homophobic thing

    5. general_franco
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Is he not on 2?

  6. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Eriksen>Pogba

  7. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    How many pts is Gray projected to get? Took him out for big Andy haha

    1. Pirlø's Pen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      10

      1. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Wow. I guess Heaton (who I benched for Foster) is getting the other pts.

        1. Luca Toni
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          2 weeks wrong decision.. first week played heaton second week foster 🙂

  8. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone watch the EVE-BROM game? How did Rondon look?

  9. Frank Black
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Rose had 2 BPS and now he lost them to Walker who even got a yellow card. Gray was on 3 BPS(and rightly so) and now is on 1? Seriously....

    1. KOLASINA(C)
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Something is wrong definitely.

  10. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    GW No.1 mistake - Bench Heaton & Olsson for Morgan & Stones

    GW No.2 mistake - Bench Morgan & Heaton for Foster and Olsson

    GW No.3 mistake - ???

    2nd season playing FPL ill never learn :/

  11. Just Been On Loan
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Firmino + Fuchs > Barkley + Walker for free? Or wait and see...

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Wait and see

  12. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    What are Vardy owners doing with him (assuming you already have Ibra)?

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I think Mahrez is the man to have, pens, direct free kicks... I would sell Vardy if I had him

    2. Oooof
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Unsure

  13. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Awful week.

    1. KOLASINA(C)
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      How was your Aguero?

    2. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      ProTip. Get Agüero.

    3. Clump
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Time to quit.

    4. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Captain Aguero next time

    5. Son is Rising
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Kun so overated...

  14. InSaneMan-e
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Need some help.
    Current squad of :

    Forster (Jak)
    Amat Stones Valencia Friend (hernandez)
    Hazard Walcott Eriksen (Capou, Feghouli)
    Kun Ibra Gray

    A: Eriksen-->Firmino
    B: Feghouli-->Ramirez/someone else
    C: Save FT

  15. KOLASINA(C)
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    67 points and Ramirez and Friend, decent GW this...

  16. In Bale We Trust
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I'm still taking Gray out this week for Rondon. Can only see him blanking at CHelsea

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Same here. Rondo has a lovely run of games

      1. In Bale We Trust
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        And looking dangerous. I like Gray a lot, but 2ft's to burn and can't them scoring at the bridge.

    2. Yome
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I wouldn't

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Rondon up against Boro doesn't look any better

  17. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Top 10k average: 58.2

    Overall: 50.6

    1. A.T
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      That's more like it 🙂

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Is that before KunZlat 9 baps?

    3. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Hm, not bad. I'll be right at 58 after BAPs.

  18. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Already done Mahrez to Hazard last night. Stones to Walker for a free?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I probably would. I've Stones and until Kompany comes back clean sheets will be few and far between and he doesn't offer any attacking threat

    2. FC LAVAMAN
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      If we say yes will you do it? No? Why bloody ask then?!

  19. Ricky - it doesn\'t ta…
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    capoue injury bad? looking at getting him tonight?

  20. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Really surprised to see so few folk going for Pogba after his debut...Does anybody know of a mid who played better this week?...or last week for that matter.

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Capoue? 🙂

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Nah...maybe for FPL...for now.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Mt view too. I'm WCing to get Pogbrahimovic in.

    3. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Coutinho last week arguably
      the problem is even though he was awesome, and probably will be; that doesn't equate to fantasy points

  21. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Who should I sell first - Sanchez or Vardy?

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Sanchez

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Vardy

    3. Big Sum
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Vardy

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Sanchez

  22. Too Mane Men
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    How Grey has only come away with 1 Bonus after scoring one and setting up another in a 2-0 win is beyond me.

    'Forwards scoring a goal: 24BPS'
    'Assists: 9BPS'

    So that comes to 33 and he's ended up on 31.

      Baps can be deducted for fouls, missing big chances, etc

  23. Knallie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Advice needed: Need to do Oscar -> Hazard for next week, have 2 FT.

    Firmino / Oscar / Lamela / Redmond / Capoue
    Aguero / Vardy / Ibra

    Do I drop Firmino or Vardy to fund it?
    Firmino: bad fixtures, and decent replacement options at 6.0 for GW3
    Vardy: Swansea at home, but will drop in price and cant see a good replacement for GW3

    GW4 will bring in Carroll (or should I just bring him in now?)

  24. Jar Jar Dinks
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Sitting on 2 ft. Been pondering:
    Firmino => Pogba
    Koné => Amat
    Tadic/Redmond => ?

    Leaning on Firmino atm.

  25. Liastro ⭐️
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Alli or Firmino out first?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Ali

  26. jaguar shark
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Is Capoue real deal or lucky points?

    1. Luca Toni
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      You can't expect real deal at 4.5 ..
      Both of his goals were well taken amazing shots.. no other stats..

  27. Fred the Red
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Mahrez->Barkley
    Vardy->Ibra

    Thoughts?

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I did the same

  28. FPL Footy Show Pod
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Decision made. Have to WC it this week!

    Need some Everton & Spurs cover... Thoughts?

  29. Adriano
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Has there been articles/posts regarding BPS. Sorry, I'm kind late to the party lol

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      The provisional baps are in the scores on the fpl page.

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Look at the fpl site. It shows it clearly for every game.

  30. Z
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    My Mid/Atk:
    Hazard - Firmino - Redmond - Ramírez - Capoue
    Aguero - Ibra - Vardy

    Transferring Firm & Vardy out with 2FT:
    What are the popular picks?
    Barkley & Gray?
    Could go crazy with Sanchez and Benteke
