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.

  4. pjomara

    With Wolves having reached 40 points, are they already on the beach with the season already considered successful regardless of what happens from here on in?

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

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Don't know but I'm selling Doherty and Patrico. No clean sheets and the odd 5 points from doc not good enough

        I was before Puel dropped him last week but will monitor with new manager

    5. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Doherty rising and Salah dropping. Makes sense...

    8. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Two quick ones...
      A. How did Almiron play? I was hoping for a return there.
      B. Auba to Vardy or Higuain if I keep funds up top?

      1. Dilzy
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Almiron looked lively, unlucky not to score
        Vardy

        1. Peter Ouch
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Almiron was lively but nowhere near to score

    9. Dilzy
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Anyone managed to do worse than 11 points off 6 players?

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

        7 from 4

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

        8 from 4 not much better tbh

      3. Krafty Werks
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        9pts from 5...similar

      4. Ron_Swanson
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

      5. Richd
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

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

          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          You're cheating you have Lascelles to come on from the bench

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

    12. Warby84

      Considering Arnie and Hazard in for Aubameyang and Richarlison...

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

        I’m doing just that for a -4

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

        What I have in mind is Auba and Camarasa to Vardy and Hazard.

        Some cash in the bank can always come in handy. 😉

    13. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Guess who I have and has been left to rot on my bench? Only started today coz of Rashford injury...

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Schindler?

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

          Siggy.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years

            You benched siggy for weeks? Or just the blank.

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

              Not sure. May as well have benched coz he's got me very little.

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

        It cost me 2 price drops, but it was worth it, haha.

        Big differential with only 5.5% ownership.

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

      Wolves conceding actually helped me despite owning Doherty. Some double wolves defence in my ML.

      Lascelles losing 3 points and a CS v wolves the other week was far more painful.

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

        Same

      2. Peter Ouch
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        We bought Lascelles together we are happy together Flappo!

        1. Richd
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          We have smashed it 🙂

      3. DA Minnion (Former great)

        Same. Second in mine had pat and doc. I only have doc.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        My Doherty lost 1 pt vs C Doherty in my ml 🙂 In Salah C I trust.

    15. SPorting

      Ah, that old 11 from 4 chestnut again.

      1. Richd

        Ooh snap.

      2. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years

        Humble brag.

    16. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Every dilemma ends up with both being rubbish. Agonised over Barnes or Rondon all week..

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Rubbish price point.

        The truth effect will he know when GW33 ends

      2. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Indeed. Round 1 - blank draw

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

        I dunno.

        I needed a Lloris replacement and went with Dubravka over Heaton.

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

        Two defensive minded teams facing each other is why this wasn't an ideal fixture for either one of them. If "Rashy" hadn't been injured, all of us would have stuck with the Mancunian.

        Barnes looks good at home in 29 en 31 while Rondon will be up next against leaky West Ham and Everton. They'll get some attacking points out of that. No worries.

    17. Tauruspt
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Any idea when the left over fixtures will be announced?

        This

    24. diesel001

      Could be worse. You could have transferred out Siggy for Fraser......

        What was you reason for ditching before cardiff?

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

          I didn't. Ville Ronka did.....

    25. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Anyone else in the same boat?

      Good weeks, bad weeks, okay weeks....

      However, usually things even out over the season once you make sensible decisions.

      Some years everything you touch turns to gold. This season however everything I do turns to poo.

      Players I bring in get injured immediately, cleanies lost last minute, unexpected cameos etc. Hopefully the chips will help stop the rot...

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