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.

    Repost to calm the masses
    DW, top 10k ownership this week

    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. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It's not irrelevant when your ml rival doesn't have one.

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

        mini league, schmini league.

    2. The Tinkerman

        Someone in my mini league has treble wolves defence - he hasn’t taken the Huddersfield goal well!

          • 10 Years

    3. TAT
      • 8 Years

      4 players here, delivering 7 points in total…

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

      Doherty, Jimenez and Pereira will be popular.

    5. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      almost 4 players on average. Rondon and Burnes blanking was huge.

    6. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I kept my Digneity and got 5 points for it. Everyone else blanked!

    7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    8. teneighty

      Sadly, I have 6 players in action. Will cherish my green arrow tonight as it most certainly will become red after Man C and Arsenal play...

  7. teknicolourfox

    1. Krafty Werks

      And that's if Newcastle don't concede

      1. Homer21
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Ssshhhhh

    4. SkeletONv01

        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Ha, nothing to brag about there... I have three wolves players...

        Time to ship Jimi if can't score against Huddersfield

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

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

      Doubt it

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Possibly 1 from winning goal bonus

  9. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    So Pereira over pretty much any NEW defender has been a great big fail so far!

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

      I'll be surprised if I manage to keep him until GW31…

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

      Yedlin?

      1. Old Man Willow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yedlin was benched

  10. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Again, why we are not playing WC in GW 32?

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

      You'll need players from GW31 in GW33.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I can FH in 33

        1. The_Fish
          • 7 Years

          Also wondering this.

  11. Call Me Old Fashioned
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    AWB---> Schar worked out okay

    And Schindler CS comes on if Rashford does not play tomorrow

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Jammy bugger

  12. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    We are all pissed off with Jimenez and Doherty blanks but they are so highly owned that it won't matter that much

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      it matters 🙁

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

      Exactly.

    3. TAT
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Dropping 2k places by that clean sheet wipeout, so clearly it matters,

    4. Legendary!
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It matters, points are points whether highly owned or not

    5. Homer21
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It always matters

    6. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Play Baba O'Riley...

    7. Distinctly Average
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      This

  13. WrightnBright
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Why oh why do I still own Richarlison just because of sodding gw31?!

    Gotta get rid of this fraud even for a hit I think

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

      Everton are better team when he's not on

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        they arent, theyre still awful

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It’s tempting to do Auba, Rich > Kun, literallyanymidfielder (-4)

      Even though I’m also looking to prepare for GW31

    3. WrightnBright
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      May go Almiron or even Longstaff!

  14. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    The amount of times I keep saying "as if" to myself on these fpl games days is getting a bit silly now.

    1. TheDragon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      There does seem to have been a lot of outcomes the past 10 weeks which have been at the very very far end of negative variance

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

      The league has changed. FPL needs to evolve with it. First start would be to allow for more transfers without hits. And I don't care for the deadlines before we know the lineups. And various other things.

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

        Fantasy Major League Soccer is so much better when it comes to such things. But yeah, in the long run, this FPL season has been plagued with absolute up-in-the-air unpredictability to the full extent. And for that, I've lost interest. Well, I have about 5% interest left. But that's just me. Maybe I'm just over it all and it's time to move on in life. Fantasy NBA, NHL and NFL are mostly where it's at for me these days.

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

          Draft Kings style.

    3. MINUS FOUR
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I think you should get the points total of your best 11 (in formation still) from the squad of 15, and it's up to you whether you carry any budget fodder to maximise premium assets or go for more balance. But instead of a constant guessing game of random rotation and post-deadline injury updates, rumours and fake news etc, you would pick your strongest 15-man squad and at least know that each GW you will get the best possible combination to earn the most points possible.

      There's too much randomness in the game now. In a real game of football, the manager doesn't use his subs bench just for injuries and no-shows. He uses it to influence the game and make an impact. I don't like the fpl bench format.

  15. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    wolves, go get f*****

        1. Salah’s Sonnet

    4. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

        • 14 Years

      3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

        Keep your chin up.

        Peaks and troughs!

        Had this feeling when I did sane (TC) for his one pointer in DGW.

        There will be plenty of positives to come still

    6. Legendary!
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Switched Digne to Pereira last GW. Digne has gotten more points despite playing a game less #facepalm

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

    9. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      How is it possible I drop another 1k, even with just the standard Pereira Jimenez Doherty?!

      All you buggers with NEW defenders

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

        AWB > NEW def looking very likely now. Would be for a hit, possibly…

    10. Regin
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      At the end, selecting Barnes or wood didn't matter

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

        Or rondon I mean

      2. Salarrivederci
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        it was a trap all along. You really don't want to start them before GW31 & GW33

    11. adams_6
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Will Vardy get bps added for the winner?
      Chance of BAPs?

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        no

        No hits and banking the transfer has been the best thing happening to me this week!

      So did Vardy lose all his bonus with that yellow card?

      Doubling up on Wolves defense was always ending in tears.

      Hard season. Currently stuck at around 400k having only finished outside the top 13k twice in ten seasons and never outside the top 90k. Nights like tonight don't help. Taking hits each week to chase losses isn't helping.

      Still love the game though, especially all the whining on here!

        That sucks. Keep with it maybe top 100k finish on the cards

          Hope so. Still got all my chips so need to use them wisely and have some good fortune.

      15pts from 4 then suddenly 6pts. If I lose cash ML which currently leading Wolves constantly butchering CS at the death will be big contribution
