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

    I'm getting either Redmond or Mirallas in. Which is better in your opinion and, cheeky second question, do you think Mirallas will be at risk of losing his place to Bolasie?

    My best start in years - 140 points (24k rank) - No Zlatan though worth an early Wild Card? I usually use it early but feel like it might be a waste this time. My problem areas - Alli, Long, Deeney and am willing to get rid of Hazard/Coutinho to fund Zlatan ??

      How many FT do you have?

      1. You Must Be Jokin Ere
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        None - I usually find that the WC works well ay GW 3 - 6 time but I usually am ranking c. 500k plus at that stage

    2. Net Gains

      How do you have six midfielders?

  4. Groot the Leveller

    Anyone else tempted by Benteke?

  5. Emp

    2. Texas Pete
      • 12 Years

      Looked very good and cerrtainly producing. Minutes might be an issue but surely today has put him above Navas in the pecking order.

    Pass me the swedge please

  7. Blue Devils
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Have 2 FT to spend for defenders

    Stone to Walker and Friend to Love

    Make sense?

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not really.

      1. Blue Devils
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Any suggestions?

        The current line is

        Stone, Valencia, Evan, amat, friend

        1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Looks ok tbf See how Friend and Boro play tomorrow
          Everton/Williams maybe in for Stones if you don't have any cash itb

        2. One Man
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          If you want to offload stones, why not consider Phil Jagielka as Everton have favorable fixtures.

          1. Blue Devils
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Williams or jagielka are good choices i agree. But walker has good fixture and more attacking points.

            Plus now Amat looks nailed i dont mind having another 4.0 like Love or Marc Wilson even if they dont play.

            1. One Man
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Walker's home to Liverpool next, fancy pool to score there.

              4mil defender is good if you can use the cash elsewhere.

    2. Forever In Our Shadow

      Stones to walker yes. The other save fr a rainier day

      1. Blue Devils
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Need the other to free up 0.5...

  8. Lebowski85
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Hazard / Coutinho / Barkley / Redmond / Ramirez
    Aguero / Vardy / Carroll

    Best suggestion to get in Ibra? Obviously Vardy is getting the chop.....but who to lose from the midfield? I need to do this tonight. If I ditch Coutinho I can bring in Ibra & 7.5 mid. Suggestions?

  9. XLNC
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I was missing to many points so I decide to WC now. Does this looks good or should I change something? I really could use some help...

    Foster - Jaku
    Valencia - Stones - Williams - Friend - Amat
    Hazard - Tadic - Lamela - Bojan - Ramirez
    Aguero - Zlatan - Carroll

    1. cjw176
      • 13 Years

      Downgrade Tadic+Ramirez to Redmond+Capoue and spend the money upgrading Bojan

  10. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…

  11. cjw176
    • 13 Years

    1. One Man
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yes.

      Have you redmond ?

  12. Texas Pete
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I'm going to go to bed thinking of Ross Barkley and Raheem Sterling. Can't say I'm happy with that!

  13. World XI
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Deli Alli was fire when he came on. Those selling to get ibra might get burnt

  14. Yordan Letchkov
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Have 2 FTs and 0.5 itb. Any suggestions?

    Courtois, Jaku

    Shaw, Stones, Evans, Souaré, B.Smith

    Haz, Tadic, Lamela, Deulofeu. Fletcher

    Kun, Ibra, Rondon

    B.Smith -> Amat or 4.5 def (Collins?)
    Souaré -> 5.0 def (Everton)
    Fletcher -> Capoue
    Deulofeu -> ?

    Think, I should save 1FT for the international break, agree?

    Hi guys.

    Have I made the right decision bringing in Walker and Hazard for Stones and Mahrez?

    Ddg (Jaku)
    Walker, Valencia, McAuley (Friend, Smith)
    Hazard, Firmino, Redmond, Townsend (Capoue)
    Kun, Ibra, Gray

    Other Mids get 1 or 2 more weeks before the chop.
