Harvey Barnes (£6.0m) and Ayoze Pérez (£6.2m) both find themselves among the Leicester City substitutes as Manchester City come to the King Power Stadium.

Their benchings certainly come as a surprise considering their recent form and run of starts in the team.

Barnes misses out on a place in the starting XI for the first time since Gameweek 21, while Pérez has been present since Gameweek 17.

Brendan Rodgers has gone with a different shape to usual considering the stature of Leicester’s Gameweek 27 opponents.

He has gone with a back-five featuring Christian Fuchs (£4.2m), Çaglar Söyüncü (£5.0m) and Jonny Evans (£5.2m) in the middle and flanked by Ben Chilwell (£5.6m) and Ricardo Pereira (£6.3m).

James Maddison (£7.4m), Youri Tielemans (£6.2m) and Dennis Preat (£5.3m) will form a central midfield trio behind Jamie Vardy (£9.7m) and Kelechi Iheanacho (£5.7m).

Meanwhile, the key Manchester City options are all in place with Sergio Aguero (£12.0m) leading the line and Kevin De Bruyne (£10.8m) joined by Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) in midfield.

The Algerian comes into the side for Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) while Fernandinho (£5.2m) replaces Nicolas Otamendi (£5.0m) and Ilkay Gündogan (£5.2m) takes David Silva‘s (£7.4m) place.

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

Manchester City XI: Ederson; Mendy, Fernandinho, Laporte, Walker; Roridgo, Gündogan; B Silva, De Bruyne, Mahrez; Aguero.

          Taking an interest is not the same as obsession

    Leicester have been so bad these last few weeks

    1. Holmes

      Atleast they have started conceding less

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Benched Soy over this period, conceded only one after all. I am fine with it.

    5. Baps Hunter

      He is recovering from it.

      People keep saying this but then why do I do so badly?

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years

        Because we are all casuals ....

  17. Long ago I drew a walrus

    Why complain about Andy? It's his first good week all season, let the guy have his fun

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Never stop never stopping

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      People have bought up Andys team 500 times at least today, yes he had a nice bench boost. Just dont understand peoples obsession with other peoples team.
      Its so cringy, why do you think the likes of Mark and Andy never show their faces here anymore....

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        You think Andy doesn't want to be famous?

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          theres a line tho, even Taylor Swift doesnt appreciate her stalkers

          1. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            I just want him to notice me. It’s like he doesnt know I exist

          2. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            People are commenting on his FPL team.

            That's the content he puts out. His FPL team. For people to look at and to comment on.

            Same with his Twitter posts. Do you think he's upset that people are reading them?

            Engagement in his FPL brand is what he wants to raise his profile, for more views, more engagement, etc. It's part of the package.

      2. Long ago I drew a walrus
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        All just a bit of fun imo, and tbh both him and Mark have done so badly this year that I'm genuinely happy for them that something has gone right

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I get people are interested but its too much at times imo. If Mark posts here he will be spammed with questions and stuff.
          100% Mark still posts here regularly, but under an anon acc

          1. Long ago I drew a walrus
            • 15 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            The way I see it, Mark is basically a meme in this community now and the reason people will bombard him with questions is precisely because he's not usually on here posting. Andy posts regularly (HT every week or so) and it doesn't exactly excite anyone, would be the same for Mark if he was here every day. Similarly I don't think anyone would really care about Andy's team if he was 100k or something middling like that, the fact that he's a Pro Pundit outside the top million after 26 GWs lends itself to discussion. There are actually loads of Pro Pundits and people haven't exactly been raving about Holly Shand or Az or Luke have they.

    Why is there no HT for FH during next GW???

    1. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Because it's not a good idea

      1. RealVirg
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Even if someone has an active player from all 4 teams that will blank??

        1. Long ago I drew a walrus
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          GW31 currently only has 3 matches (that's potentially 14 teams blanking) and GW34 will likely have both blanks and doubles, there have been multiple HTs and articles on this AND also a HT on GW28 planning, which was weeks ago because the GW28 blank has been known for ages. If you dig through you can find it. Obviously if you've left yourself in the position where you can't get out a starting XI then it's your choice how you use your FH but most will have prepared for this using FTs

          1. RealVirg
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks that makes absolute sense. I won't FH then

            I can get to 10 with 2FT and may take a hit to field 11 (unlikely)

        2. Long ago I drew a walrus
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          and FYI I have double SHU and one each from MCI, AVL and ARS. 2FTs and sorted

      FH next GW would be a big mistake.

    Aguero to anybody?

    Have Ings and Jimmy already.

    I quite fancy a punt on Ighalo (WAT)

    1. Holmes

      Watford is this week?

      Different game?

    1. Deulofail

    Imagine having Kun for the last three GWs...

    1. Vlad Tepes
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Here is one and I used WC to get him 🙂

      1. @persecuted_by_mods

          Same thankfully never captained

      2. Niho992
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Only casuals has Kun ahead of Long, Vydra and Jesus

        1. Wirtzle Gummidge
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          You forgot Maupay

      3. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I bought him after his 1 minute cameo in GW18 and owned him 19-21 before I sold. Rotation and red cards offer no stability.

        Got him back for the last three GWs.

        Did the same with KdB. Had him from 3 to 15. Sold before 16 because City was out of form. Got him back in 21.

        Also sold Pope before the tough fixtures in which he post back to back double digits. Now back in the team.

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      Perez coming on

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Aguero out, Vardy in. Aguero my worst signing this season, never thought I'd be saying that

        1. TRIPOS TOPPER
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Vardy has looked dreadful today

          1. Fpl Richie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Keep for 2 and if nothing - sell. Norwich and Villa.

        2. HashAttack
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          could have had Vardy for all those games! ... still not convinced to bring Vardy in

      • Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        How's 15 (-12) from 5 (6 if you include Son)?

        Captain still to play.

        Thanks

      • AzzaroMax99
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I can't believe it. This game is $%^&.
        Perez on, 1 min till the end. Webster first on the bench with 7 pts. OMG!!!!!

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Might score

        2. Niho992
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          You should play Webster.

      • EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Of course Perez comes on for a minute. Icing on my miserable GW...

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Might score

        2. Vlad Tepes
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Same 15 points from 7 players, perfect

      • el polako
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Happy for Mahrez to get an asisst and win - he can show all those fans middle finger and drive off with 3pts and nice gap in the league.
