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.

    Come on Arnie. Having him captain started so well but I really need another goal to call it an Isaac.

    Maddison and Arnie to Rich and Firmino for free.

      There’s no such thing as a rank killer. If not having him means you are upgrading elsewhere to get more points it’s better.

    I didn’t think Richarlison could play upfront based on a sample of one game?

    Not that I’m feeling smug - I took him out (admittedly to get Mendy)
