Leicester unchanged as Everton switch to three at the back

The final two matches of Gameweek 14 take place simultaneously this afternoon, with kick-off at 16:30 GMT.

Manchester United host Aston Villa at Old Trafford, while third-placed Leicester City take on Everton at the King Power Stadium.

The Foxes can move back to within eight points of league leaders Liverpool with a victory over the Toffees this afternoon.

With his side on a five-match winning run, Brendan Rodgers has unsurprisingly named an unchanged team for the sixth game in a row.

Jamie Vardy (£9.8m), the most-captained player overall and in the top 10k in Gameweek 14, keeps up his ever-present record under his manager.

The Leicester striker hasn’t blanked since Gameweek 8 and averages 8.67 points per match in home games this season.

The Foxes come into this game having not conceded a league goal since Gameweek 9.

Marco Silva makes three changes to the side that was beaten by Norwich City last weekend.

Michael Keane (£5.4m) joins Yerry Mina (£5.3m) and Mason Holgate (£4.4m) in a back three, while Alex Iwobi (£5.7m) replaces the injured Theo Walcott (£6.2m) further forward.

The other change sees Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.8m) oust Cenk Tosun (£5.7m) up front.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes one change from Gameweek 13, with Juan Mata (£6.2m) replacing Phil Jones (£4.8m).

That alteration would seem to indicate that Solskjaer has moved back to a 4-2-3-1, with Mata joining Daniel James (£6.2m) and Marcus Rashford (£8.7m) in the attacking trident behind Anthony Martial (£7.8m).

Budget FPL defender Brandon Williams (£4.1m) is again preferred at left-back, with positional rivals Ashley Young and Luke Shaw (both £5.4m) on the bench.

Dean Smith names the same Aston Villa side that beat Newcastle on Monday, so there is no place for Marvelous Nakamba (£4.4m) in midfield.


Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Pereira, Evans, Söyüncü, Chilwell, Ndidi, Ayoze Pérez, Tielemans, Maddison, Barnes, Vardy.

Everton XI: Pickford, Digne, Holgate, Keane, Mina, Sidibe, Davies, Sigurdsson, Iwobi, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelöf, Maguire, Williams, Andreas Pereira, Fred, James, Mata, Rashford, Martial.

Aston Villa XI: Heaton, Guilbert, Konsa, Mings, Targett, McGinn, Luiz, Hourihane, El Ghazi, Wesley, Grealish.

      Absolute shambles of a defender.

    I've ruined Soy Boy and Maddison by getting them last gw.

  4. Brosstan

    Why do people pretend Soy is a good defender?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      He is. Just a poor game today.

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Evans is a lot better.

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Good thing they're in a two-man pairing then.

    2. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I quite like him, he's a decent enough lad with time to get even more experience

      Not having the best game today

  7. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Soy actually is not a very good defender it seems

  8. HellasLEAF
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Why do I have Martial in my team again.

    I'm not sure how this happened..

    Will most likely hang on for Mourino-bowl then re-assess

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Gone for Alli!!!

    2. Fudgy
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

    3. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yea me too. Was ok for me early season before injury.
      He plays up front for utd and is classed as a mid. We fell for it.

  9. diesel001

    Leicester and Man Utd score most of their goals in the second half. Trouble for Everton and Aston Villa.

  10. Louis Van Gaalstones
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Got such a benching headache in the front 8:

    KDB, Mane, Pulisic, Maddison, Son
    Vardy, Jiminez, Mousset

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Not mousse.

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Oh damn.
      That's really tough.
      I'd still bench mousset I think.

  11. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Soyuncu reminds me of Maguire this half.

  12. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    was it a Rash goal or a heating OG?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

    • 7 Years

    1. SEXY SALAH
      • 7 Years

  15. Rolls-Royce

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Will continue to be a threat on the counter.

  16. HellasLEAF
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    If we knew Mount would play then other transfers would be easier to make.

    Will most likely start as they are at home but wish Mount was Pulicic. Not doing a hit for that.

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yea feels sideways for a hit

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      If I knew Kane was gonns blank i wouldn't have brought him in.

    3. TorresMagic™

      Should play as freshest but not playing well.

  17. Woy_is_back
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Ricardo 🙁

  18. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Was hopeful of Leicester points here, so naive.

    It truly is the hope that kills you in FPL!

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Will be interesting to see how many times vardy has touched the ball in this game

    1. Fudgy
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Will still get a lucky goal like always. Luckiest player ever

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      He picked it up to take the pen

    3. SEXY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      The lack of touches virtually guarantees 3 bonus when he gets his goal

  20. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Results today highlighting how badly Chelsea dropped the Top-4 ball yesterday.

    1. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Great weekend for Spurs.

  21. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    3 mins hopefully until Vardy is subbed

  22. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Maddy party needed here......

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Agree. G+A for Vardy

  23. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    At one point this season I had TAA,VVD,Digne,SterlingPukki,Cantwell. If only I didn't transfer most of them out 🙁

  24. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Another Chilwell dive in the box.

    Ref gives him the decision this time!

  25. Fudgy
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Tielemans close

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      To breaking a flood light.

    2. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years

  26. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Some teams like Everton and Burnley are so painfully inconsistent. Impossible to call what version will show up.

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yep. Bournemouth quite often as well.

  27. Cookie Kid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Everton looking compact at the moment

  28. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Prince Andrew close

  29. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Having Tielemans & Pereira this match is hurting.

    Iheanacho party starting early

    1. Fred54

      Not a fan of Mexican food.
