Rotation struck Fantasy managers once again as Brendan Rodgers benched Harvey Barnes (£6.2m) for Leicester’s Gameweek 31+ meeting with Brighton.

The two sides meet at the King Power Stadium tonight just a few days after their respective Gameweek 30+ matches came to a conclusion – so both managers have shuffled their packs.

After their Saturday lunch-time draw at Watford, Leicester roll out a two-man front-line featuring Jamie Vardy (£9.7m) and Kelechi Iheanacho (£5.7m), supported by a four-man midfield of James Maddison (£7.5m) and Demarai Gray (£5.0m) either side of Wilfred Ndidi (£5.0m) and Nampalys Mendy (£4.3m)

That leaves no room for Barnes, who will have to make do with a place on the bench.

Meanwhile, Graham Potter has freshened up the Brighton side that beat Arsenal on Saturday afternoon, especially on the flanks of attack.

Neal Maupay (£5.7m) holds onto his place as the spearhead of the front-three but Leandro Trossard (£5.8m) and Pascal Groß (£6.2m) drop to the bench to be replaced by Aaron Connolly (£4.2m) and Alexis Mac Allister (£5.5m).

Budget defender Tariq Lamptey (£4.0m) also comes into the side to play right-back in the place of Ezequiel Schelotto (£4.0m).

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel; Chilwell, Söyüncü, Evans, Justin; Maddison, Mendy, Ndidi, D Gray; Iheanacho, Vardy.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan; Burn, Webster, Dunk, Lamptey; Mooy, D Stephens, Bissouma; Connolly, Maupay, Mac Allister.

        • 7 Years

        It was that bad ??
        Okay
        Another clue ..

    Maybe just maybe the game cannot update anymore. Season over

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Does it matter if it takes a while? Can't change anything now anyway...

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        That’s true but people also want to see their teams

        This is the longest I can remember it’s taken to update. Something may have gone terribly wrong

      Rumours a staff member accidentally uninstalled the server. Apparently they are trying to restore it now but may take a while.

      FPL cannot compete with after work internet use -need to scrap 6pm kick offs

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years

          I'd settle for 3 ...

      The drinking bird has fallen over and isn't pressing the Enter key anymore

  12. Bunk Moreland

    It’s starting to dawn on me that fpl actually isn’t that good a game. As Always Cheating hunter at, you would imagine that a better company would get at least twice as many players to the game .

    1. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      I mean, there's not really any real incentive to play it... I can make more from money leagues than winning the whole thing!

      I want them to bring back Ultimate Fantasy Premier League

        and now I want fish & chips...

  15. Rainer

    An absolute disgrace on a worldwide scale.

  16. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    I was going to take an extra -8 if I knew Barnes was benched. (Barnes & Stevens to 3.9 & Alli)

    Is it good that I kept Barnes and avoided a -8?

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Ya

    2. Johnny 8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Yes.

    3. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Easily. You need Alli to hit 8 points just to break even for the week? That's a goal and CS with 60+ played (without bonus). That's not even then profiting from the transfer.

      Barnes could come on late and score/assist

    4. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Cheers fam. Feel better now!

  17. Rolls-Royce

    This gotta be on the front page of the tomorrow's newspaper.

  18. GOTHAM City F.C.
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Maybe they forgot to count in few million teams last GW, expect massive red as soon as its updated.

  19. Aurora
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    "FPL has announced the game is self-isolating after a positive test for one of its players this week"

  20. BNMC
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Maybe Joelinton scoring a goal was too much for the servers to handle

    1. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Really made me tickle

  21. ZimZalabim

  26. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Last minute switch from Adama to richarlison.

    How many points do we think Rich will get tomorrow?

    1. Bunk Moreland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      I think 8

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        Should be more than Adama, I suppose

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      probably benched

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years

        How frustrating

    1. FPLGyarados
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Hope for the best but expect the worst.

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      wait until he scores.

  28. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    I started Connolly over Nketiah 🙂

    1. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      your third striker is Greenwood i suppose

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years

      Why do you have both of those

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        My midfield is the reason

        Salah Mane Bruno KDB Son

  29. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
