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.

    With Jonny first on bench I would very much like a Sterling no-show.

    Jonny with more points than Jiménez, Rondón & Pereira combined..

    1. Salarrivederci
      • 9 Years

      Nvm. Would like Sterling to play.

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years

      More troll nonsense.

    2. The Enlightener

      7 years, 1 month ago

      Ha ha. Yeah. I'm over it as well. The luck factor seems to have increased exponentially in recent seasons. No rhyme or reason to anything anymore. I'm into daily fantasy these days. So much better, IMO.

      1. The Enlightener
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Not that it's free from bullsh!t either. It's still the Prem, if that's the game I'm choosing on a given day. So it's still wildly unpredictable and frustrating. But you get to move on from that "team" asap without taking hits and all that junk.

    Mt rival forgot to do his team, played Ethridge instead of Patricio and still got Firmino. And as I hear that Wolves concede, quite happy despite having Bennett.

  24. PrettyDick
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    god damnit that goal hurt

    1. PrettyDick
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      dropped 20K with that stoppage time goal.. It's a tough game at times this

  25. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Yellow card and goal concealed last minute. I can’t wait to resign Doherty to my bench permanently.

  26. glufs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Oh come on, they had to concede in overtime, useless Doherty and Bennett. Even yellow for the both of them.

  27. Party time
      7 years, 1 month ago

      There are two things sure to exist on earth, the fishes in the ocean and Patricio conceding

      Apart from Liverpool (got 3 already),

      Who are the best midfielders and attackers for GW31 and 33?
