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

    No Zlatan is hurting me so how do I squeeze him in?

    DDG - Heaton
    Valencia - Stones - Massuaku - Dawson - VVD
    Hazard - Firminho - Lamela - Townsend - Redmond
    Gray - Negredo - Aguero

    2FT and 0 ITB so I will need to take a hit. Which 3 to take out?

    A. Firminho - VVD - Negredo
    B. Hazard - Negredo/Gray (no hit)
    C. (something else)

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Massuaka?

    2. Coco Umbongo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      get VVD out, you're too stacked in defence

    3. CostaCoffee
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Firmino to 4.5 bench fodder
      Vvd to 4.5
      Gray to Ibra

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

        Gray or Negredo out you reckon?

        1. CostaCoffee
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Gray could be in with a tough time I'm the next week with those tweets emerging

    4. cruzex
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Sell aguero.. Buy ibra and Costa. Only way.

      Put aguero again vs bournmonth.

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

      Your defence is too expensive, get rid of Van Dijk...

  2. cruzex
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Alexis is awful

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      9 years, 11 months ago

      When he plays up front he isn't that good, yes.

    2. HellasLEAF
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      haven't considered him once. so inconsistent and Arsenal don't inspire confidence of ownership in general this season.

      Wenger out myself this team needs freshening up

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

      He looks like a fish out of water when played up front

    4. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Out of position - get Giroud on

  3. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Vardy is not inspiring me.

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

      Arsenal have tightened up.

      He last last some big appeal with loss of pens

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      He went out last night but I'd like a farewell present

  4. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    So Gray played over 60 minutes (6), scored (24) and assisted Vokes (9) that is 39 bonus points. How can he end on 29 even after things like offside?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Missing a big chance = -3

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Surely he also had some positive bonus points like creating a chance or something

      2. FPL_Liger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Seems odd that he would have so many points deducted though- i'd be interested to see what those were for

    2. CostaCoffee
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      -3 for each homophobic/rasict/sexist tweet

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

    Sanchez doesn't look 'on it' yet. Probably best for him to score 1 and then get him.

  6. Jonny Sutt
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone sticking with Firmino?

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

      have more pressing needs to yes

    2. Jonny Sutt
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I'm just thinking pool can hurt anyone and he will be involved (even if he wasn't last week).

    3. Qubit
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Dunno, i have stones, firmino, lamela and others to worry about.

    4. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Nope - just got Barks for him

  7. Coco Umbongo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Would appreciate advice 😀

    OUT : Musa & Siggy
    IN : Benteke & Barkley

    1FT
    1.0m ITB

    Thanks

  8. Kante Be Bothered
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Is it worth getting a West Brom defender?

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

      Wouldn't be using an FT but if you're WCing, there always handy to have!

      1. Kante Be Bothered
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I am on WC! If i wanted to get one i would need to downgrade one of Shaw/Stones/Walker

    2. Jonny Sutt
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Foster is great to have as first keeper as you never know where they will get the clean sheets!

      1. Kante Be Bothered
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Would Courtois to Foster be a good move?

  9. Worzel Gummidge
    9 years, 11 months ago

    TBH if a girl proposed to me I would knee her in the face and walk off as well.

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

      9 years, 11 months ago

      We're not talking about your chubby mate again are we? 😉

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Not this time but thanks for the awesome reminder 🙂

    2. Ziro

      Pointless with your straw knees and you could not walk off your are stuck to a stake.

    4. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      surely you'd undo your fly and say 'thank you Monica!'?

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

    Ditch eriksen or firmino ?

    1. cruzex
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Firmino

  11. Syd.
    • 17 Years

      Andre Gray wouldn't mess with her

  12. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    A. Firmino > anything, if so what
    B. Pieters/Souare, if so who > McAuley
    C. Wilson > Gray, if not banned

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

      Or Hernandez

    How serious is Diomande's injury?

  15. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years

    Are 50 points within your reach when you got your Wildcard Intact?

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years

      dude its been 2 game weeks.

    2. Royal5

      Lol

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 10 Years

        Somehow 50 points behind

    3. Count of Monte Hristo

      L, O, L

  16. Ziro
    • 11 Years

    People more interested in tweets than the champions and the runner ups playing a match. 😀

    1. CostaCoffee
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Poor teams tho

      1. JIM BOB
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Shush. It's open and exciting at the minute.

        Definitely pen for a Leicester that

  17. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Firmino, Townsend, Eriksen and Gray all on thin ice. Think I'll save my FT and do a triple trade for -4 during the break. Gray might have saved his bacon though but I can sense a Lukaku sized trade incoming!

  18. Grand Maester Juan
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Whom to transfer out ?

    A ) Alli
    B) Routledge
    C) Delf

    Have 2 FT

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      all for -4

      1. Grand Maester Juan
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I was thinking on that too ! Surely Delf will not play now lukaku is back and mirallas is scoring !

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      A for cash and C for losing his place and position.

    3. Coco Umbongo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Transfer Routledge out for Capoue, I just did it

      I watched the Swans game, Routledge was pants, will prob be dropped.

      Capoue is this best enabler and will go up in price tonight

      1. Grand Maester Juan
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Injury not serious ?

  19. money face bandwagon
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    isit stubborn to keep faith in vardy and not getting ibra?

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

      yes obv

    2. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

  20. FISSH
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Pogba or Nolito?

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

      Pogs. Less rotation.

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

        I would say Navas one chance gone that is Nolitos place now. If we all k ow how bad Navas is I am sure Pep will too.

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Nolito for me had him from start though.

  21. Ayew Holding Mee Cork
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Probably the most boring match of the day.

  22. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years

    Quick thoughts on Shane long?

    A. Sell?
    B. Keep.

  23. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Once Arsenal have Ozil + Giroud starting and sign a deadline day centerback they will have some great FPL assets

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      need a striker who can score tho

  24. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Still stunned Gray has only one BAP?!?

    What does a man have to do to get 3 baps?

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Become Ibra/Aguero

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Heaton on 3 now? Fantastic 🙂

    3. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I'm with you, bro. Not sure how Vokes had more baps than gray. Heaton I guess cos of many clutch saves, but vokes?

  25. Stevee10001
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Townsend looki g like the only player I might be transfering out. Even though Mahrez is starting to worry me when u consider how well Leicester will be this season and his price.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years

    What would you call that grass pattern on the pitch?

    Reminds me of an old snake like rubex cube type thing I once had.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      It's called the old snake like rubex cube cut.
