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. Jafooli

      Confirmed

    4. Skalla

        What happened?

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

          Kicked a player from under his feet, off the ball. Shitehouse.

    Felipe Anderson looks a good player

      He didn’t last week

  10. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Dropping a 7 or 6.5 to a 5.5 fwd looks like a decent money saver in the coming weeks.

  11. Yankee Toffee
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Morgan Schneiderlin has provided his first Premier League assist since April 2015.

    Essential.

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Two clubs ago.

    2. Siggy in the Middle
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Averaging an assist every second game this season. Essential.

    3. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      he can only pass sideways

      1. Bellerinmondo
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        and back

    4. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Still essential after being subbed?

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

      He's was totally ineffectual with last 3 managers. Will be interesting to see his set piece involvement continues under Silva.

  12. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    7 years, 8 months ago

    Wilson misses 1v1

  23. Bellerinmondo
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Wilson - should have scored

    1. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      would have been assist from some 12 year old playing for bournemouth

  24. The Wise Owl
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    "Kenedy swung a left foot at Camarasa. The midfielder went down, a free-kick was given but incredibly Pawson didn’t show a card. He should have been looking for a red". Was this the Kenedy moment people are talking about? Didn't see it.

    1. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Yes kicked him right infront of the ref , not sure how he missed it!

    2. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 9 Years
