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.

CARDIFF CITY XI: Etheridge; Bennett, Bamba, Morrison, Ecuele Manga; Arter, Gunnarsson; Murphy, Reid, Camarasa; Paterson

    Mad vs rich again showed Form trumps Fixtures. If you havent shot on target in last 3 matches you suddenly not going to score. Half hour did not go to waste analyzing rich vs maddison stats and fixtures. Member tools helped too. Thank you Geoff and the team 🙂

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years

  11. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Good fixtures mean nothing when you’re out of form.

  12. HNI
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Arnie owner but will need lot of luck if that was given as assist

  13. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    I think it shouldn't be assist for Arnie however FPL is inconsistent anyway

  14. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Arnie + Richa saving my GW.

    TAA start is a great surprise as well.

  15. TAT
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Not having Arnie/Wilson must be red arrows confirmed, right?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      If you also don’t have Richarlison

      1. TAT
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Do have him, though.

  16. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years

    1. MTPockets
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Don't think that assist will stand

    2. Ha.
      • 8 Years

      Wood bar lol

      1. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Think they’re metal these days.

    3. Chucky
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      ASSIST GIVEN TO ARNIE ON FPL

    4. JM11
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Diangana looks a decent pick at 4.5, great fixtures ahead.

    5. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn't mind dumping Maddy next week but it's hard to dump anyone regardless of form when they are at home to Burnley.

    6. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Goal - ANDERSON
      Assist - ARNAUTOVIC

      West Ham 3-2 Burnley (84 mins)

      #FPL #WHUBUR

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Surely it wasn't, because of huge deflection however FPL is pro popular players

    7. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Does Mark own Arnie? I want that assist 😛

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        If Mark has him you are safe

      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

    10. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Got Vardy and Maddison in a few weeks back.

      What a disaster 2 points or so each for 4 weeks.

      Complete garbage

    11. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Arnie and Richarlison owner. Hnnnggg!

      1. dvdguy
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        and Wilson

    12. Numb
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Arnie assist confirmed.

    13. Fin
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Very tentatively done Siggy + Jiminez -> Richarlisom and Arnie. Usually never take hits.
      Sweet vindication

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago
