Jamie Vardy (£10.1m) misses a second consecutive Fantasy Premier League Gameweek as Leicester travel to face Newcastle.

After taking the night off in Gameweek 20 for the birth of his daughter, the centre-forward is now absent due to a tight calf, according to the Leicester Mercury.

The local newspaper report that Vardy had a scan on the muscle in the build-up to Gameweek 21 and is also a doubt for the FA Cup third round clash with Wigan at the weekend too.

Vardy’s latest absence is expected to blow a hole in the Fantasy template once again considering that he topped both the Fantasy Football Scout captain poll and was the most skippered among the top 10,000 managers too (51.8%).

It means a second start in a row for Kelechi Iheancho (£5.7m) while James Maddison (£7.7m), Youri Tielemans (£6.4m), Ben Chilwell (£5.7m), Ricardo Pereira (£6.4m) and Çaglar Söyüncü (£5.1m) are all restored to the line-up.

Yoshinori Muto (£5.1m) comes in for Andy Carroll (£5.4m) as Newcastle set up in a 5-3-2 formation.

Lucas Moura (£7.1m) returns to the Spurs line-up as they travel to face Southampton.

He is joined in the attack by Harry Kane (£11.0m), Dele Alli (£8.9m) and Christian Eriksen (£8.6m) while Ryan Sessegnon (£5.4m) takes over at left-back.

Danny Ings (£6.6m) leads a three-man attack for Southampton, flanked by Moussa Djenepo (£5.2m) and Nathan Redmond (£6.2m).

Raúl Jiménez (£7.5m) is back in the starting line-up for Wolves, with Adama Traoré (£5.6m) and Pedro Neto (£5.0m) either side and Leander Dendoncker (£4.4m) back in central midfield after some time in defence.

Newcastle United XI: Dúbravka; Willems, Lejeune, Fernández, Schär, Manquillo; Shelvey, Hayden, Almirón; Muto, Joelinton.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel; Fuchs, Evans, Söyüncü, R Pereira; Ndidi; Chilwell, Maddison, Tielemans, Pérez; Iheanacho.

Southampton XI: McCarthy; Bertrand, Bednarek, J Stephens, Cédric; Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Højbjerg; Djenepo, Ings, Redmond.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Gazzaniga; Sessegnon, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Aurier; Ndombele, Sissoko; Eriksen, Alli, Moura; Kane.

Watford XI: Foster; Fememía, Cathcart, Kabasele, Dawson; Capouoe, Chalobah; Deulofeu, Doucouré, Sarr; Deeney.

Wolves XI: Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Bennett; Jonny, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Doherty; Neto, Jiménez, Traoré.

    Surely Pep learnt his lesson with Norwich and won't bench Kevin?!

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years

      Who knows

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Pep, some of his back team staff, the guy who writes the team sheets down....

  3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

    Post Rashford vs Norwich and Tammy vs Newcastle does this make sense for the Liverpool DGW 24:

    Alli + Rashford + Tammy to Salah + Ings + Maupay/ Deulofeu/ DCL

    Have Mane and Gomez as the other Liverpool players.

  4. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Spurs need Son

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      They need the original Morinho, not this one from Aliexpress :))))

    2. Jafooli

      Eriksen trying with Vertonghan’s misses 😉

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Or is it the other way around?

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Disagree. He would help. But the biggest issue is the lack of attacking risk they take. Play it forward quickly. Try the one-touch around the corner ball. Look for the quick through ball. It is all sideways.

        One of their problems is Kane. Slows them down big time.
