Jamie Vardy (£10.1m) is one of nine changes made by Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers for Gameweek 20.

Kasper Schmeichel (£5.4m) and Jonny Evans (£5.2m) are the only players to survive from the Liverpool match with all other starts from Gameweek 19 missing out.

Çaglar Söyüncü (£5.1m), Ben Chilwell (£5.7m), Youri Tielemans (£6.4m), James Maddison (£7.7m) and Harvey Barnes (£5.9m) are all on the bench while Vardy is absence from the match-day squad entirely.

The centre-forward misses out on the trip to West Ham because his wife Rebekah gave birth and he is spending time with them.

“Jamie Vardy’s wife had a child today, so he’s with her and congratulations to them.” – Brendan Rodgers

Not only will West Ham be boosted by facing a second-string Leicester side, but they also have encouraging news of their own as Lukasz Fabianski (£4.9m) returns in goal for the first time since Gameweek 7.

They themselves have rotated to some extent with Michail Antonio (£6.9m) and Mark Noble (£5.0m) benched in favour of Carlos Sánchez (£4.3m), and Manuel Lanzini (£6.2m).

Meanwhile, there are similar frustrations for Fantasy managers at Carrow Road where Dele Alli (£8.9m) starts for Spurs with Lucas Moura (£7.1m) named on the bench.

The Englishman was considered a doubt for Gameweek 20, triggering a slew of sales, but he has overcome his fitness concerns to start.

Furthermore, Moura was the target for some of those selling Alli and it turns out that it is him who will have to feature as a substitute instead.

Norwich have benched Todd Cantwell (£4.8m) but Teemu Pukki (£6.6m) starts up-front.

Norwich City XI: Krul; Lewis, Zimmermann, Hanley, Aarons; Tettey, Vrancic; Hernandez, Stiepermann, Buendia; Pukki.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Gazzaniga; Sessegnon, Vertonghen, Foyth, Alderweireld, Aurier; Eriksen, Ndombele, Alli, Lo Celso; Kane.

West Ham United XI: Fabianski; Masuaku; Balbuena, Diop, Fredericks; C Sánchez, Rice; Anderson, Fornals, Lanzini; Haller.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel; Fuchs, Evans, Morgan, Justin; Mendy, Choudhury; Pérez, Albrighton, D Gray; Iheanacho.

      Annoying owners

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      To let those not watching know what is happening? What an odd question.

    3. Forza

      How is saying "how is saying Alli g but offside of benefit to anyone?" of benefit to anyone?

    4. George Sillett
      • 10 Years

      Absolutely. Complete nonsense.

  9. El-Kloppico

    What am I hearing from the TV commentators. An Erikson trade with Real for Bale in return? That would be soooo Jose. Loadning up on expensive has beens before he himself implodes...

    1. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Bale is still class

    Kane was offside before the ball was handled - why no VAR check?

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Because inconsistencies

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 7 months ago

      This may be my false memory but apparently the rule is if you foul an offside person it's a foul, same for handballs in this scenario

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Thats incorrect.

      They only check for goals, penos and red cards

    Kane is useless and an awful fpl pick

  23. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Alli's passing is not that good tbh. But he has some good control and touch finishes.

    1. DAZZ
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      A very silky player with a class touch, and lacks pace.
