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 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, 5 months ago

      Looks that way.

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

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

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years

      1. Baps Hunter

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

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

  9. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 9 Years

  11. GENERATION X

  12. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months 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
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Almiron looked lively, unlucky not to score
      Vardy

      1. Peter Ouch
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Almiron was lively but nowhere near to score

  13. Dilzy
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

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

    1. Flynny
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      7 from 4

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      8 from 4 not much better tbh

    3. Krafty Werks
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      9pts from 5...similar

    4. Ron_Swanson

      1. Moderately content penguin
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Think you'll find that's 3 from 3

        Class transfer there of Doherty out and Yedlin in

    5. Richd
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

    6. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1. Moderately content penguin
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

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

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I'm not counting any chickens. Did that with minute to go with double Wolves defence

        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        It was the team I’d made before the cup final! Dinnery gave mixed Laporte messages so kept him in incase! Firmly hoping he’s out now!

  16. Warby84
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

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

    1. sovietrockettes
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I’m doing just that for a -4

    2. GertJan
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

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

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

  17. camarozz
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months 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, 5 months ago

      Schindler?

      1. camarozz
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Siggy.

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          You benched siggy for weeks? Or just the blank.

          1. camarozz
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

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

    2. GertJan
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

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

      Big differential with only 5.5% ownership.

  18. Richd
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months 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
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Same

    2. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      We bought Lascelles together we are happy together Flappo!

      1. Richd
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        We have smashed it 🙂

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

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

    4. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

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

  19. SPorting
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Ah, that old 11 from 4 chestnut again.

    1. Richd
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Ooh snap.

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Humble brag.

  20. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

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

    1. Richd
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months 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, 5 months ago

      Indeed. Round 1 - blank draw

    3. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I dunno.

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

    4. GertJan
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months 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.

  21. Tauruspt
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Any idea when the left over fixtures will be announced?

  22. Eytexi

    Vardy baps feeling like a hattrick

    Sign of a meagre week

    1. Mr. Sitter

      This

  28. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

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

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

      Still early 🙂

    2. JammySprat
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      What was you reason for ditching before cardiff?

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

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

  29. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 5 months 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
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      2 greens in 10 so can relate. But somehow very near the top 10k so not too mad.

    2. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Post most often so we know what to avoid

    3. camarozz
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      TAA in, then injured and nowt since. Better play, score and keep clean sheet 2moro.
      6 straight reds from 808 to 10k OR
