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.

    Too much hair slowing Vardy down.

      • 6 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

        Snap, i'm bricking it but just can't see Liverpool getting many returns this game or v city.

    2. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Yeah I'm bitterly regretting the Fernandes shout, most in my ML are on Salah or Jimenez

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        I've captained Fernandes and am confident it was the right choice.

        1. Steinburg FC
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 24 days ago

  10. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years

    Leno only out for 6 weeks, will miss the remainder of the season but injury isn’t as bad as first feared, huge relief!

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Source? Will Martinez play the remainder?

      1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        Verified Twitter Journos, but yeah can’t see him returning before the end of the season

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Yeah, but would have been an Arsenal CS if he had stayed on the pitch. Arsenal lost a sub period and a better GK.

      Maupay screwed him up.

      1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        Initial reports were saying he’d be out for a year so the whole of next season, mightily relieved as a Gooner that it’s not as bad as first feared

      2. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        Wasn't really Maupay - he twisted to stay in the pen box and done his knee.

        So he's currently on my bench - I'd keep him there if he's back for the last 2 fixtures; otherwise when I can he'll go for Button and some cash.

    scrappy game

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Crappy*

    2. NABIL - FPL otai

      *scary

  12. Cak Juris

    • 13 Years

    Barnes only score 1 goal 0 assist for 7X playing less than 45 minutes

  13. potatoace
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Lei defence very very suspect today.

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      True

    2. Steinburg FC
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      not only today...

  14. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Justin looks shaky. Brighton goal is imminent.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Not with their shooting

  15. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Seagulls bossing Foxes.

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      the seagulls peck at the foxes for now, but eventually the foxes will catch a sea gull and there will be feathers everywhere!

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Need Barnes

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

        Seagulls and foxes need no barnyards 😉

    3. iL PiStOlErO
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Attenborough material.

  16. Cak Juris
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Without perreira, Leicester will lose CL spot

  17. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Get Justin off ffs hes going to ruin the CS

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      No replacement for him. More important, Rogers needs to tweak the tactics to get Maddy on the ball to service Vardy.

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        Hasnt Albrighton played RB before?

  18. George Agdgdgwngo
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Who wins?

    A. Pope, Ritchie, berg, salah (c), Barnes, Bruno

    B. Martinez, Aurier, son, mane, traore, Bruno (c)

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Your opponent

    2. Victor6359

    OMG ! this is duuuuuulllll.

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      more exciting to wait for the game to update :p

  20. gers23
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    This is chronic.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Tbf you could fit all the good Prem football played since the restart into one half

      1. Steinburg FC
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        not counting the city games then?

      2. gers23
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        Lol true

  21. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Not sure if Id rather have Barnes come on or Kiko off the bench

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

      Barnes on bigger upside

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      I'd prefer Kiko. But if I was your opponent I would prefer Barnes.

  22. WVA
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Should just be able to end games like this, obviously going to be 0-0 with a red card each

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Wouldn't bet against that!

  23. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Right now Vardy is up there with Auba and kane for the biggest waste of money

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Aguero says hello.

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

      He can pop up with a goal at any moment. He's a poacher.

      Saying that I sold for Rashford this week. Don't fancy him against Brighton's deep block.

  24. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Leicester with more possession not suiting Vardy's runs

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

    Haha worst throw I've ever seen 😀

  26. Andy_Social
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Ryan adding some spice.

  27. g40steve
    • 8 Years

    Ryan laughs

  28. WVA
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    OMG Ryan

  29. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Vardy won't be dragged off for overexertion

  30. Amey
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Lol Ryan 😀
