Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) could punish the 163,000+ managers who sold him for Gameweek 2 as he was handed his first start of the season against Fulham.

He remains the most popular Fantasy Premier League defender, with 22.2 percent ownership, even after missing out on Gameweek 1.

There is a full debut for Southampton’s Danny Ings (£5.5m) at Goodison Park, after he impressed in his cameo appearance at the end of Gameweek 1.

Hosts Everton went with Mason Holgate (£4.5m) at centre-back in the place of the suspended Phil Jagielka (£4.5m), while Leighton Baines (£5.5m) started at left-back once again.

Jonny Evans (£5.0m) is to make his bow in Leicester City colours today coming back from injury to replace Wes Morgan (£4.5m) in the starting line-up alongside Harry Maguire (£5.5m). Not surprisingly, Jamie Vardy (£9.0m) starts up front.

Ruben Neves (£5.1m) is Saturday’s most transferred in player with 388,000+ new owners, and he starts for Wolves at the King Power Stadium.

Bournemouth have named an unchanged XI for their trip to West Ham while Javier Hernandez (£6.5m) starts up front next to Marko Arnautovic (£7.0m).

EVERTON XI: Pickford; Baines, Holgate, Keane, Coleman; Schneiderlin, Gueye; Richarlison, Sigurdsson, Walcott; Tosun

SOUTHAMPTON XI: McCarthy, Cedric, Hoedt, Stephens, Bertrand, Romeu, Lemina, Ward-Prowse, Redmond, Austin, Ings

LEICESTER XI: Schmeichel; Chilwell, Maguire, Evans, Pereira; Mendy, Ndidi; Gray, Maddison, Albrighton; Vardy

WOLVES XI: Patricio; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Doherty; Jota, Jimenez, Costa

SPURS XI: Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Davies, Dier, Eriksen, Lucas, Dele, Kane

FULHAM XI: Fabri, Fosu-Mensah, Chambers, Le Marchand, Bryan, Seri, Anguissa, Cairney, Kamara, Sessegnon, Mitrovic.

WEST HAM: Fabianski; Masuaku, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Zabaleta; Anderson, Noble, Wilshere, Snodgrass; Arnautovic, Chicharito.

BOURNEMOUTH: Begovic; Daniels, Aké, S Cook, A Smith; Fraser, Surman, Gosling, Brooks; King, Wilson

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Took Doherty out at the knee. Horrific tackle, straight red

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks! Wonder how much that will stem the Maddison transfers in.

    BBC Sport loves breaking news of a goal about ten minutes after it's scored. It's no teletext.

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      BBC is a waste of time for updates. A laggy 3rd rate stream has less of a delay.

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        yep

  16. RyanC
    • 11 Years

    Trippier punishes impatient casuals.

  17. mixology
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Trippier taking free kicks and corners off of eriksen is making his exit from my team increasingly likely

    Stupid article title

    What did Lacazette do to deserve this? Had a great pre season

    1. Patch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      % chance he will cameo?

      1. JustPark
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        100%

    2. TAT
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Tactical, I think - although playing both Aubameyang and Lacazette would have been ten times better.

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        True. I am looking at it as an Eriksen owner atm though

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I would happily make 5-6 changes right now.
