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

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

      Me too but it doesnt matter

      I have Duffy as third sub

  11. fr3d
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Limping theory still true if Evans now scores from Maddi pass?

  12. Baked baines
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Thought winning goal gets +3.
    How has Wilson overtaken Rashford in BPS?!

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Deductions

    3. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      +3 hasn't been added on yet, and any deductions are yet to be made.

  13. tokara
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    not having Arnie is scary by the look of all comments here

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      why? he scored a very lucky goal

    2. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah it is. Burnley a total mess, can see him getting a hat-trick really...

    3. rambo.
      • 5 Years

      Should deffo bring in soon

  14. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    That moment when you think you own Dunk but you actually own Duffy...

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      rough

  15. Egg noodle
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone else captained Mane? I'm not sure anymore..

    1. SPorting
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure if you did or we did?

      1. Egg noodle
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Not confident that he'll deliver

        1. Podge
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Your confidence doesn’t affect him

  16. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Arnie should been booked for that celebraton

    1. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Should've had a pen too. 100%

      Unlucky Arnie owners

    2. Top Lad Dakes.

  17. Hect.OR 98th
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Got my keepers all wrong this year. Foster up to a few weeks ago did nothing, switched to Patrício and watched Watford get three clean sheets, now switched to Ryan on my WC.

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Classic chasing

  18. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years

    No confidence in Maddison tbh.

    1. Bees4Lyf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Been very frustrating to own him, I chose him over Richie, gutted

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

      Seems a shame to ditch him before Burnley, but he’s likely out for Salah for me

    3. Hughes the Daddy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He's garbage. I stupidly listened to the hype. Never again.

  19. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Capoue yc

  20. R.C
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    So many Maddy assists denied in the past few weeks...

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      So mnay jammy returns in the first few weeks, swings and roundabouts ...

    2. HNI
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He had 0 shots on target in last 3 games so switched to rich on wc this gw. For mid goal is extra 2 points so Rich becomes better pick

  21. #FPLBhuna
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    -4 from 3

    Uhoh

    No wilson, arnie or richa

    1. HNI
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 7 Years

  22. HNI
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Did dunk hobble? He just dunked it

  23. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Wanted to do Maddison and Vardy to Mahrez and Arnie for - 4, but wimped out.

    Shoulda!

  24. SPorting
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Where’s my Ryan assist?

  25. HonestBlatter
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Leicester is utterly s**t this game should have been moved to another date....

  30. Jon Snow
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Leicester really not looking at it, despite their good fixtures think it's time for Maddo to be sacrificed for Salah/Mane

    1. Eat my goal!
