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.

    get stuffed wolves, honestly.

  19. Monya Meow Meow
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Of course Wolves needed to concede, 91st minute hahahaha...

  20. Webbinho
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Can anyone beat 9pts from 6 men 🙁

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

    Every man, woman, child and animal has a Wolves defender. Wolves defence EO in the Top 10k is 100%.

    Not really worth that much.

    1. Jonny HOW SON?
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I don't. I guess I'm an alien then...

    2. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It is when you have two.

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        This

    3. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It's worth a lot to those of us who have none, though.

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I don't. Much less of a red arrow for me now the Wolves cleanie gone.

  22. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    1 point for you and you ... and you

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

      Hah!

  23. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    DW, top 10k ownership

    Patricio = 15%
    Doccy = 64%
    Bennett = 15%
    Jonny = 4.5%
    Boly = 1.1%

    Total ownership = 99.6%

    I.e. whether Wolves keep a clean sheet or not is pretty much irrelevant if you only own 1 defender

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      This pleases me.

    2. Ode
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      People saying ”season over” after Wolves lose their cs lmao

    3. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Would make a difference if Doherty gets attacking returns though

  24. @ocprodigy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    7 points gone, can only laugh though really.

  25. Distinctly Average

    How many extra bps does a winning goal give a striker?

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      3

    2. Fingerspitzengefühl

        I understand half the feeling of that 90 min goal.

  27. pjomara
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    My 9th red arrow in a row. Now outside 20k. Trying to imagine where I'd be with 9 green arrows.
