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

    What is up with the FPL site this year?

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      It's crap but the app is even crapper

        Whoop! Finally in 🙂

      Been upgraded

  2. Get in ma Dembele

    9 years, 11 months ago

    72 points all out, good week for me. Thinking of Wildcarding though as Firminho not providing again, Alli being benched, Ibra going crazy and my defence a bit leaky. What are people's opinions of:

    Heaton/Jaku
    Shaw -- Stones -- Azpi / Friend -- Lenihan
    Hazard -- Redmond -- Firminho -- Alli / Capoue (19 bench points now...)
    Aguero -- Costa -- Gray

    Becoming

    Heaton / Jaku
    Walker -- Shaw -- Macauley / Amat -- Kingsley
    Hazard -- Redmond -- Nolito -- Tadic / Capoue
    Ibra -- Aguero -- Gray

    Thanks

    1. Get in ma Dembele
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      sorry 72 with Friend still to play, he was on and Stones is benched, forgot about that last minute decision!

      1. Moore FPL
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        See your point about Ibra, if I didn't have him I'd wanna get him in quick.
        Not sure it's worth you WC'ing at this stage tho, not many changes and we don't know too much yet only 2 games in.
        I'd hold off until the international break at least if I were you.

    2. Zlatan Time
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      You don't need to WC, just try to get Ibrahimovic in, apart from that it looks good 🙂

    Firmino or kane out?

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      yep

    2. The Royal Robin
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Firmino

    3. Samirich
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Own Firmino too and I'll get ride of him and Deulofuo pretty soon even for a hit.

  4. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    3 goals for Vardy and Sanchez is all I'm asking for.

  5. the grinder
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Is Costa getting any bps?

    1. Get in ma Dembele
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      No Batsy getting 1, Capoue 2 and Amrabat getting the 3

    2. devils advocate
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Lol.

      You don't know Costa very well do you?

  6. Zoostation
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Firmino to Barkley is starting to seem like a rational move based on their starts and Everton's upcoming fixtures?

    1. MGD
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I feel you..

      2 FTs, would be wise to:

      Firmino -> Barkley
      Dela -> ???

      ?

      1. Zoostation
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Redmond?

  7. Podge
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Chelsea were fairly rubbish today until Cesc came on

  8. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Any fellow Kun (C), Ibra & Gray owners sitting smug with a beverage after a good weekends work? o/

    1. EDEN THE MAN
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Same front three but Ibra(c)
      I'm going to be smug as all weekend

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Same difference, good stuff!

    2. walkman666

      o/

      1. MGD
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Same here, but less rewarded at midfield. :/

    3. Jedi_Reed
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yep. Feeling pretty happy. Can't believe folk were so hasty to offload Gray.

  9. HP.
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Will Hazard get any bonus?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      no

  10. Acquafresca
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    What did he tweet?

    1. Zlatan Time
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      He tweeted an anti-gay comment, can't remember it exactly...

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Who did?

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        It was from 4 years ago. I reckon he got hacked (or his mates) before being famous and he never spotted the tweet. People been waiting for him to be in the limelight to release it. Utter nonsense!

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

          I don't think that you don't spot that kind of thing...

        2. A Team Of James McCleans
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          I don't think so there was tweets from 2011 and 2013 too

        3. Do I Not Like Orange
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Either way he is surely going to deny it if asked. Can't see any way the FA can issue a retrospective ban for an apparently 4 year-old outburst on a minefield of deniability like Twitter.

  11. Moin

    • 13 Years

    Musa to Gray

    Yay or Nay?

    1. Mr. Grv
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Wait for it , He isnt going to rise soon .
      Some stupid tweets by him .

      1. fiveyears
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I remember when nobody bought Vardy because of his casino incident, he went under the radar last season

    2. Big Sum
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Not this week

    3. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      nope

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

        not good enough fixtures.

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah, but i should remove Musa, right?

  12. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    To have Hoddle AND Savage in commentary is clearly an attempt to take the p*ss.

  13. devils advocate
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Hey all, posted this in the last article without realizing it was the last post, lol.

    After some quick advice to help me decide on a possible transfer later this week?

    Obviously depending on how this gw ends first, and assuming everyone comes out unscathed, which duo would you prefer from the following considering the next few gw's:

    A - Hazard and Barkley, or
    B - Sanchez and Lamela?

    It's a forced transfer so need some help please. Thanks.

    2. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Reduced for anti-gay comments.

  16. EDEN THE MAN
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    From what we can see, Ibra and Aguero have scored the same number of points for the past 2 gw's. In gw 1 they scored 1 each, in gw2 they scored 2 each. From the data we have we should see each of them scoring 38 goals in gw38. 🙂

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

      this

  17. Lecky Legs FC

  19. The Royal Robin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    I had a dilemma all week about who to start in goal and everybody said Foster should be chosen over Jaku. FFS, hate seeing 7 pts on the bench in one player!

    1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 16 Years

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      He played deep and was average. I'm gonna sell him

    2. Podge
      • 15 Years

    3. kalmoffit

  23. The Generalator
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

  24. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Should've tripled up on Hull defenders

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 11 months ago
