Emotional afternoon ahead as Leicester travel to Cardiff City

The attention of the football world will be on the Cardiff City Stadium this afternoon as Leicester City play their first match since the tragic passing of chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

Talismanic striker Jamie Vardy (£9.0m) returns to the starting line-up after featuring as a second-half substitute against West Ham in Gameweek 10. Meanwhile James Maddison (£7.0m) appears to be deployed just behind him in a 4-4-1-1 formation.

Meanwhile, midfielder Callum Paterson (£5.2m) starts a fourth successive match as the centre-forward for Cardiff.

Likewise, Richarlison (£6.8m) is used up front for Everton, extending his run of games in that position to four in a row. Bernard (£5.9m), Theo Walcott (£6.4m) and Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.5m) remain the attacking midfield trio behind the Brazilian.

Marko Arnautovic (£7.0m) returns to the West Ham team after missing out on Gameweek 10 with an illness. Matej Vydra (£5.8m) has been named in the Burnley side to face the Hammers for the fist time since Gameweek 7.

Everybody’s new favourite budget striker Isaac Success (£4.6m) was on the Watford teamsheet for the third match in a row, furthering his appeal.

    Confirmation it was a shoulder injury for Lascelles

    Richarlison to score again ...

    A) Mitro -> Wilson
    B) Mitro/Maddison -> Arnie / 6.2 (Fraser?)

    Would rather wait on transfers until after MCI, but with Wilson expected to rise tonight (and making A impossible if so) I need to make my mind up on getting Wilson or Arnie (or in case both: do 4 transfers and get Aguero out)

    If you had to pick one of these which would it be?

    1) Miss a penalty for your country in World cup final
    or
    2) Score an own goal for your country in World cup final

    1. Jaok
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Own goal

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      score an own goal

    3. HNI

      Interesting. You can always score own goal with badluck trying to prevent a goal thats

      Success is a beast, wouldn’t want a shoulder off him

    Lol just noticed it was Westwood with the assist. He couldn't do that last week when I needed him? Now I actually want Hazard to be benched.

    Also I did warn everyone that would listen about Fabianski. Have been an owner all season and he's been nothing short of a disappointment. If I were wildcarding now he'd be straight out of my team, regardless of fixtures.

    1. Ha.

      Damn, he’s first on my bench too!

      But don't you just love watching him rack up those save points week after week?

    I would be tempted to wait to see how Mitro does in Fulham game?

    Maddison is the greatest inhibitor for Vardy.

    1. #FPLBhuna

      Thought he would make vardy even better

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Cant even make a pass to him when Vardy in good position. Vardy misses Mahrez.

    Grab another one Arnie.

    Also, a pen save from Fabianski would quite make up for the CS wipe.
