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

      Please stop with the Gray twitter nonsense. Wait for news.

        what possible news?

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

          exactly. there's no news.

    • Grand Thibauto

      How is 52 this week with no Ibra, Firmino(c), Valencia Benched and Mahrez to go.

      1. faver
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        decent

      2. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        What madman would captain Firmino 🙂

    • The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Hojbjerg > Capoue is a deal I want to do but I haven't got it in me to use my FT on it. Doesn't seem like a transfer making a priority.

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

        Absolutely not. Hojbjerg was good last night and should keep his spot. Yeah Capoue is hot atm but is only bench fodder to the vast majority!

      2. elkunaguero
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Capoue has 2 shots in 2 games

        if anything, it's a move you can make when you wildcard

    • Weeb Kakashi
      • 10 Years

      Pick the better team to go into a Cash league

      A
      Team with 70 points scored this gameweek
      Wildcard activated this week

      B
      Team with 46 points this week
      Valdes and Payet left
      Wildcard Intact!
      Have a decent team B

      Team A Or Team b?

    • Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years

      Firmino to Barkley and keep the change? Everton fixtures amazing for next 5 weeks

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years

        I'm doing it. Will free funds for Gray ➡ Tekkers if needed

        1. Yank Revolution
          • 14 Years

          Indeed

      Gray's tweet genuine?

        Yeah

      Nothing wrong with Gray expressing his opinion. Freedom of speech. He has the right to believe that if he wants. An opinion widely shared. Not like he is the only one.

        Um...doesn't quite work like that man.

        If the Burnley striker Andre Gray is genuinely posting these tweets I am a 6 legged centipede from Mars

      3. guardian.c

        9 years, 7 months ago

        No man. Absolutely not. You'd be fine with someone being racist because of freedom of speech? No.
        It was from 2012 so I guess it has no difference for current fpl. But please. Don't go defending homophobic hate speech.

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

          That's the problem. It wasn't homophobic hate speech, it was just an individual expressing an opinion. And it was 4 years ago. He didn't incite any violence towards gays, just said there are a lot around here - an observation.

          It's the same as those who voted for brexit being classified as racist.

          Why cant people stop being so politically correct and let others voice an opinion?

            • 10 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            You need to reread the tweet... #DIE is a threat

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

              Ah, sorry then, I only read a tweet about there are a lot of gays around here, nothing about killing them.

              Btw I am not homophobic or racist just an individual.

        2. ViewsFromThePo6ba
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          So being gay is a race?

          In absolute awe.

      4. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Thats not how freedom of speech works.

        If his employer is unhappy w your comments you can be punished in money, suspension, firing.

      5. JackG55
        • 11 Years

        Sort of agree but hate shouldn't really be tolerated

      6. Qubit
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        what opinion would that be?

    • Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      What happened to capoue? Did the injury look bad?

      1. Podge
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Costa got him and the ball, not awful but wouldnt fancy getting booted in the shin by Costa

          Nope me neither.thanks for replying mate

    • Syd.

      I wish Costa would stop scoring as I am looking to get rid of him

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years

        Def not get rid before the next 2 games

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years

          It looks like I am stuck with him

    • Grounderz
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      There's a little bit of holding there by Holding.

    • Conk
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Relax, the gray tweet is from 2012. Obviously he's been hacked and had an old tweet edited.. If thats possible? Anyway it obviously hasnt gone unnoticed for four years

      1. Fudge
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Can't do that, and 4 years ago he was playing in the conference so probably did go unnoticed..

        1. fiveyears
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Not even the Conference, lower than that.

          Has to be a hack or whatever doesn't it? Seems a bit too 'obvious' to be real i.e. overt homophobia

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

          I still find it hard to believe it's only surfaced now... Worried now as a gray owner

          1. Fudge
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            What... really?! I'm more worried about the actual homophobia than whether one of my fantasy football players might still be getting me points in the next few weeks..

            1. guardian.c
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              precisely. nice one

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

              Well yeah the homophobia is quite worrying, but this is a fantasy football forum, so I'm thinking with my fantasy head on as opposed to actually caring more about the fantasy

    • @FPLMason
      • 13 Years

      Anybody thinking about a Mirallas wagon?

    • Grounderz
      • 14 Years

      What about that Gray tweet? Someone link it?

      Bizzare, no goals or assists for any of my midfield four for the last two gameweeks.

      Who to ditch first between Deulofeu and Oscar? I think Tadic and Ericsson will come good.

      1. Zlatan Time
        • 9 Years

        Deulofeu may be challenging for a place with Bolasie so maybe transfer him out...

          A return to last season so - not guaranteed to start

        My midfield has been a disaster the 1st 2 GW as well. I don't think I can wait until the transfer window to use my WC

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
