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

    I would go lay down but I just got up...Eriksen why?

  2. El Lobito 10

    7 years, 8 months ago

    Patricio massive fail. Who to transfer to for 4.5m?

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

      Going for Hennessey next week.

    2. DantheManinaPan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Interested in Hennessey myself. Recent Woy comments suggest it's his spot to lose and fixtures are nice

    3. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years

      Etheridge the penalty master

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

        Hennessey good shout

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

          Just to be clear I was joking. Hennessey decent option but many have 1 or 2 Palace defenders already

      1. Bodie
        • 10 Years

    Eriksen needs to go I think, too expensive now that it looks as though he's lost some vital set-pieces and playing MUN next!

  15. Richd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Patricio hasn’t even made a save. My teams basically 10 men unless I replace this Portuguese scum.

    1. olidooley
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Haha!

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

      Scum? Bit unnecessary. Otherwise, I'm in the same boat.

    3. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
      • 7 Years

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        😛

        1. thorvaldsson
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          I'm Bolivia or Austria at this point.

  17. Limbo
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Just cashed out - £96 with Kane goal. Sweet.

    1. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      (£21 4 fold) with correct score in that and 0-0 earlier).

    2. Chorlton 76
      • 7 Years

      nice

  18. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Wolves pretty shoddy

  19. seewhyaxe
    • 9 Years

    Wow Kane scoring in August!!?.

  20. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Wonder how many cigarettes Ross Barkley brought Sarri for that start?

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      200 Regal

  21. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Hold. Them. Knees.

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

      I can't, they're jerking uncontrollably

  22. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Who’s on pens for Arsenal? Auba?

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

      Should be; maybe Lacazette when both are on the pitch.

    2. waterboy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      You have to get in the box to get those, so maybe not an issue.

    3. Critical Observer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      will be interesting to see

    4. Bodie
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Should be Auba

  23. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    The fpl app really is a steaming dog turd. Smoke signals would be a quicker and more effucient way of broadcasting results

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

      There are 5 million players to account for, can't be cheap to run

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        it’s really useless though it’s been the same since it was released. They have had ample time to address issues wI h it which instead they ignore. And yea five million players and th app still isn’t a priority. Their over h ads must be tiny because no Hing changes season to season other then the player list

        1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
          • 9 Years

    1. Typo

      7 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

  25. Crouching Tiger
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    FPL updating

  26. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    A second Kane banger would get some knees jerking

  27. olidooley
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Another penalty for Arnie would be nice.....or another Cook goal.....the flippin’ legend

  28. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Casuals make me sick. Scum bags

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

    Ramsey and Lacazette both on the bench. That’s excellent.

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      unbelievable decision - Emery out before end of season

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Don’t like how Emery is setting up arsenal at all. Was going Aubameyang but dunno.
