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.

    if Tammy remain out, is one of these a good idea? Which?

    Martial & Tammy ➡

    1) Son & Mousset
    2) Alli & Ings

  15. Dirty Harry
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    I know we got games on, but would you rather Son or Pulisic? Considering a switch to Son.

    Note: No Tammy or Kane in my team.

    Everton lose at home to Norwich, but leading against high flying Leicester.
    West ham have been atrocious but heat chelsea away against all odds.
    Newcastle hold cuty, norwich hold arsenal, spurs almost throw away a 3 goal lead.
    This is why we love fpl, but frustrating as an fpl player sometimes.

      Because teams change tactics. Both Newcastle and Everton playing 5-4-1 this GW. Great formation for a team who wants to keep it tight.

    3. Liberate HK - antichinazi

      felt change of keeper would boost West Ham

  18. Babelcopter

    Need Vardy and Maddison to score and save my GW. Right now fat red arrow coming.

    Current team:

    Schmeichel
    Soyuncu - Tomori - Lundstram
    Mané - De Bruyne - Pulisic - Martial
    Abraham - Vardy - Aubameyang

    Button - Willems - Hanley - Cantwell

    What do you think about this move? IN: Alli / Reid OUT: Martial / Willems
