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.

      7 years, 1 month ago

      Schar so close to being suspended tho

      1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Needs 2 in 3.

        Casuals will get away with it.

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

          Maybe

          Personally I bought Lascelles 3 GW ago now and still wouldn’t risk it tonight

        2. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Why obsess about casuals ?
          Pointless.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

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

      I did

    2. Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years

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

      In hindsight it would've been worth the hit if needed

    4. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Went for Lascelles as I thought he was due a goal...still waiting

  11. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Right, well, saving 0.4 to get Diop over Schar was all worth it...

    1. rjcv177
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Even worse here. Went lascelles for that mighty 0.1 now i'm out for a beer with all that money in my pocket 🙁

  28. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Again posters on here at fault for me losing points.. Convinced me Schär's yellow card count was a reason not to get him in..

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No problem.

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

        Mo problem

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It was definitely a reason I didnt get him either.

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Disgraceful crap. I never remember reading this stuff in years past, now its half the postmatch comments

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        It’s always been like this tbf

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Im on more in evening so maybe i just missed it, but who knew so many people werent in control of their own actions, must be mind control to supress their awesome natural skill...

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            It’s always been an absolute circus on matchdays. The lunatics have been running amok in the asylum since day 1.

      2. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        In the past people on here gave good advice.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Policemen were taller, summers were longer, a pint of milk was far cheaper

          Makes me feel ashamed to see how far we done fell

          1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Milk was probably far more expensive, relatively.

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Was better milk though. And cheaper. Not like this nonsense milk we have today.

        2. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          The world surely is at fault, not you, and there is no element of luck or randomness at all, is there? Act like youve been there before son

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

      It was legitimate buyer beware. I went Lascelles instead as much as wanted Schär and it was reasonable choice. Grow a pair and make your own decisions

    5. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      If you can't take it when advice doesn't work - don't ask!

    6. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe develop a mind of your own ?

    7. Hotdogs for Tea

      Fishing was good 😉
