James Maddison (£6.6m) has come through his injury doubts to start for Leicester against Crystal Palace this afternoon.

The central midfielder was yellow-flagged before the game following comments from Claude Puel in his Thursday press conference.

Maddison starts in the number 10 role for the Foxes as their run of appealing fixtures gets underway this weekend.

Ben Chilwell (£5.0m) was not as fortunate as he missed out on a place in the matchday squad through his knock.

Christian Fuchs (£4.1m) makes just his second start of the season at left-back.

The wide attacking midfield slots are occupied by Harvey Barnes (£5.5m) and Rachid Ghezzal (£5.0m) while a recall for Jamie Vardy (£8.8m) sees Demarai Gray (£5.4m) drop to the bench.

As expected, Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.6m) sits out for Crystal Palace, covered at right-back by Joel Ward (£4.3m).

Further up the field for the Eagles, there is a first start for Michy Batshuayi (£6.5m).

Leicester XI: Schmeichel; Fuchs, Maguire, Evans, R Pereira; Tilemans, Ndidi; Barnes, Maddison, Ghezzal; Vardy.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; van Aanholt, Sakho, Tomkins, Ward; Schlupp, McArthur, Milivojevic; Zaha, Batshuayi, Townsend.

    Maddison needs to make up for Son.

    5. Gudjohnsen

      Damn man!! That was an insane performance ...he would have been european player of the week if not for deulofeu .

    1. MTPockets

      right at the end

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        refs had a shocker

          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Particularly enjoyed the denial of Chris Mepham's very obvious handball penalty in the fist half followed by yet another Jota YC 😎

          1. F4L
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            😀 as a fellow Jota owner I felt that pain deeply as well

    Someone in my ML played their free hit this week and has benched Chilwell, Maddison and Schar!! :-/

    1. gaurava1216

      lol

  6. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Nice to see my differentials, Jimenez and Doherty, are in the points 😎

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Lol

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Loads of people in my MLs have Bennett over Doherty...it's a small win for me 😎

    I haven't seen any footage whatsoever, but Patricio definately got a fingertip to that penno.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      😛

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

      I heard he's still saving it now

    3. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      With his 8 foot arms, yep 😉

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I heard he's actually got 8 arm feet

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            😆 x100

    4. Party time
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah! Maybe with his finger nails

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I heard...

        1. Party time

          🙂

        2. Mysterion
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          ...he 8 his finger nails?

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            I 8 my paintings, I 8 them.

            You 8 your paintings?

            No, I HATE them. Why do we have to speak fackin English?

    C'mon Harvey, join in the fun and do the Barnes clan proud today.

  9. Hy liverpool

    Suarez goal

  10. TRIPOS TOPPER
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    please don't write headlines like that

    seeing the name "Pereira" and "injury doubt" next to each other when you are sitting on a horrendous score of 15 post captain is not comforting

  11. Surfeit of Lampteys
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    How did Doherty get an assist for Fraser bringing down Jimenez for a penalty?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Probably got it for his assist instead

      1. Surfeit of Lampteys
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Is there a second goal I'm not seeing?

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      You need to watch the foul again.

      1. Surfeit of Lampteys
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Haven't seen it. Just going off BBC sport report of the match.

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          "Is there a second goal I'm not seeing?"

          Nope. Just the first, apparently 😆

    3. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      It was Adam Smith cleaning out Doherty from behind that got the penalty.

      Jiminez just scored it

      1. Surfeit of Lampteys
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Ah ok, they've just changed the report actually.

  12. Djemba-Djemba
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    What would Messi's % ownership be if he was in the FPL?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      50% ish...

      You'd still get the ''Messi isn't worth 14.8m' gang every other week like Salah.

      1. Djemba-Djemba
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Would be amazing if someone added up the points Messi would have had in FPL so far. I'm sure it'd far beyond Salah though.

        1. Rash
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Way beyond

          1. Rainer
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Price drop after that Gijon no show 😉

            1. Mysterion
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              Nah he'd be protected by FLL towers 😛

          2. Djemba-Djemba
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Incredible

      2. Mysterion
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        No chance... he's on another level of consistency + explosiveness, worth whatever they price him at

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      100

    King misses a pen but still top Bones?

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      yep, don't see why not, already gets a points deduction for the miss

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      +24 BPS for scoring a pen, only -6 for missing one.

      1. Majestic Chanka
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Though it was more, does it count as big chance missed etc

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          It would, so another -3.

          King is good for BPS though - https://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/matches/987852/

          Click on BPS plus, he does quite a bit outside of scoring.

  14. SKENG

    When did Patricio get booked?

    1. Party time
      7 years, 5 months ago

      after he missed the penalty

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      He didn't

      1. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        According to fpl he did. Weird

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          He did.

          1. potatoace
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Fair enough. It's not recorded in the game stats. But recorded in his personal stats

            1. Rainer
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              Not on LiveScore either but FPL are usually go with this type of stuff.

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      90+7. Tried to claim the pen save, ref wasn't having it.

  15. Hy liverpool
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    PVA please score and make those misrable people moan why didn't they go for newcastle defenders instead of perreira

    1. Rash

      I went both this week 🙂

    Watching the rugby whilst waiting for the footy, I just don’t get it at all. I love just about every sport but never been able to get into it for some reason 😐

    At least England are winning

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      I feel like that about dwarf tossing

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Never seen that but I’m sure I’d prefer it 🙂

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I can't imagine why you are not into it if you love every sport? Rugby union and FPL, in that order.

      DISCLAIMER: For me FPL is the sport. Not the actual football

    Early benching dilemma

    Lascelles BUR
    Or
    Doherty hudd

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

      I see no dilemma

      1. Hy liverpool

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Doherty gets attacking points, Lascelles doesn’t, Burnley score goals, Huddersfield don’t

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 11 Years

        2. Rainer
          • 9 Years

          Arguably the best attacking defender this season up against arguably the worst team to ever play in the Prem.

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years

      hopefully one will get a knock, although you could argue Jota & Rich are turd anyway

  23. Budweiser

    How was Almiron?

    1. potatoace

      Outstanding

    2. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      v good

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Good but it was Hudd. Good test vs Burnley midweek.

      1. Budweiser
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Good to hear although I wish he got an assist or something lol

  24. TheDragon
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    How many players left to play on average in top 10k (given that lots have blanks me)?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Average Players Played: 5.56 out of 12.0
      Captains Played: 46.71%

      1. TheDragon
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        But does that factor in those who have either played 0 minutes (eg didn’t feature) and those who have a blank?)

  25. Moderately content penguin
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Do I axe Jonny before Huddersfield?

    He is beyond useless. I’d back Luiz (currently on bench) to outscore him despite the fixtures.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Keep for Hudd then sell.

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years

      yeah been rubbish .Keeping next 2 then gone for leicester defender.Would be pissed if he got returns and blanking this long vs 2 of the 3 worst teams in the league
