Leicester City’s key Fantasy assets have all kept their places for the first game after Claude Puel’s reign came to a close.

Brendan Rodgers’ arrival at the King Power Stadium was confirmed around the same time as the team news was released.

He will see Jamie Vardy (£8.8m), Harvey Barnes (£5.5m), James Maddison (£6.6m), Demarai Gray (£5.4m) and Ricardo Pereira (£5.4m) all in the starting line-up.

There was also a return to the side for Ben Chilwell (£5.0m) after he missed Gameweek 27.

There will also be plenty of interest in the Wolves side as they head to Huddersfield.

Nuno Espirito Santo has named the usual suspects in his starting XI, with Raúl Jiménez (£6.8m), Matt Doherty (£5.4m) and Diogo Jota (£6.1m) all involved from the beginning.

It will be interesting to see how they get on against a Terriers side that has run eight chances after Saturday’s defeat to Newcastle.

Everton are now back in FPL action for the first time since Gameweek 26, and they have done so with minimal changes.

Richarlison (£6.6m), Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.2m) and Lucas Digne (£5.3m) are all on the team-sheet to face Cardiff, who have also made the usual number of changes to their attacking line-up.

There will be plenty of interest in the 8pm televised kick-off between Newcastle and Burnley.

That game features two popular budget strikers in Salomón Rondón (£5.9m) and Ashley Barnes (£5.7m).

Miguel Almirón (£6.0m), unfortunate to blank on his full home debut, is also in the starting line-up for the Magpies.

Kenneth Zohoré (£4.6m) starts up front, with Junior Hoilett (£5.0m), Bobby Reid (£5.2m) and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing (£4.8m) behind him.

Cardiff XI: Etheridge; Bennett, Bamba, Morrison, Ecuele Manga; Gunnarsson, Bacuna; Hoilett, Reid, Mendez-Laing; Zohoré.

Everton XI: Pickford; Digne, Jagielka, Keane, Coleman; Gueye, Schneiderlin; Richarlison, Sigurdsson, Walcott; Calvert-Lewin.

Huddersfield XI: Lössl; Stankovic, Schindler, Kongolo; Duhaney, Hogg, Billing, Durm; Pritchard; Mounie, Grant.

Wolves XI: Rui Patrício; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Doherty, Dendoncker, Rúben Neves, João Moutinho, Jonny; Jiménez, Diogo Jota

Leicester XI: Schmeichel; Ricardo Pereira, Evans, Maguire, Chilwell; Tielemans, Ndidi, Maddison; Gray, Vardy, Barnes.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Montoya, Duffy, Dunk, Bong; Groß, Stephens, Pröpper; Knockaert, Murray, March.

Newcastle XI: Dubravka; Lejeune, Lascelles, Schär; Ritchie, Longstaff, Hayden, Manquillo; Perez, Almirón; Rondón.

Burnley XI: Heaton; Taylor, Mee, Tarkowski, Bardsley; McNeil, Hendrick, Cork, Gudmundsson; Wood, Barnes.

    Brought in Vardy on a gut feeling and it paid off!, quietly happy about that.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I bottled it and instantly regretted it. Posted as much before kick off. Oh well.

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years

    3. Garlana

    4. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I tossed a coin between Vardy and Kun, the latter won, so stuck the armband on him.

  2. Scapegoat Salah

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes - especially in this 3 at the back formation. Gets forward because Lascelles and Lejeune stay back.

  6. Don Kloppeone
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

      • 9 Years

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years

            Pereira was on 6 + 3 before conceding.

            1. Hits from the Bong
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

    • 12 Years

      Doherty on for more CS points and people hating on him. Most got him in for less than £4.5m.

      Don't see this type of hate for TAA and his no shows, for example.

      1. Alan The Llama
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Are you Doherty's mum?

      2. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I can assure you TAA owners hate him.

      Harvey Barnes is a baller, if he keeps playing like he is the points will flow
