The last of four Premier League matches to take place on Sunday sees Leicester City head south to take on relegation-threatened Bournemouth.

Kick-off at the Vitality Stadium is at 19:00 BST.

Jamie Vardy (£9.8m) was the second-most-bought Fantasy Premier League asset of Gameweek 35+ and he starts this evening, with his non-involvement in training on Friday proving to be a lot of fuss about nothing.

Vardy has three goals in his last two starts and comes up against a Bournemouth side who had the worst post-restart defensive record before this weekend.

The Cherries did register their first clean sheet of 2020 on Thursday evening, however, holding Spurs to a goalless draw.

It’s wins and not draws that Howe’s troops need, with the south coast club six points adrift of safety with just four matches to play.

The Foxes sit fourth in the Premier League table, meanwhile, with only two points separating the two sides immediately above and below then.

Brendan Rodgers has made one change to his starting XI that featured in the midweek draw with Arsenal, with defender Christian Fuchs (£4.2m) brought in to replace Ryan Bennett (£4.8m).

Harvey Barnes (£5.9m) is once again among the substitutes.

Bournemouth have made three changes to the side that drew 0-0 with Tottenham, with Arnaut Danjuma (£5.8m), Dominic Solanke (£5.1m) and Jack Stacey coming into Howe’s starting XI.

Junior Stanislas (£5.8m) drops to the bench, while Joshua King (£6.1m) and Adam Smith (£4.3m) miss out through injury.

The reverse fixture between these two sides ended 3-1 to Leicester back in Gameweek 4, with Vardy involved in all three of his club’s goals and emerging with a 16-point haul.


Bournemouth XI: Ramsdale, Stacey, Ake, Kelly, Rico, Brooks, Gosling, Lerma, Danjuma, Solanke, C Wilson.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Fuchs, Soyuncu, Evans, Justin, Albrighton, Tielemans, Ndidi, Perez, Iheanacho, Vardy.

      See how Greenwood plays tomorrow. If he fires / looks good, I'd put Mahrez on the bench

  6. SouthCoastSaint

    How does Jesus get an assist for Bernardo last night but iheanacho doesn’t get an assist for Vardy!!!! Livid !

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Are they similar?

    2. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Several BOU touches between Iheanacho and Vardy. Only Ryan between Jesus and Sterling. Not rocket science...

      1. SouthCoastSaint
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        If he was higher % owned he’d be given that

          Theres a lot of joke decisions (like Jimenez BPS scam) but this is not one of them

          1. Whazza
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Winning goal baps are always added after the game mate

            1. Brosstan
              • 12 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              FFS and OPTA stats (which include winning goal BPS) showed 0 bonus for Jimenez.

              1. Whazza
                • 14 Years
                6 years, 1 month ago

                FPL uses Opta stats.. Anyway Jimenez is on 33 just for playing 60 mins and scoring a goal. I think +3 for winning goals.

                6 deducted points if that's the case seems reasonable to me

    Dilva should start 2 of next 3 and will want to go out with a bang. Not guaranteed starts though. Antonio guaranteed to start, they need points to stay up and two good fixtures in next three. Chelsea have great fixtures, but who will start?

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I think Dilva starts 2 out of 3 surely. And maybe even all the 3.

      1. antis0cial

        Unless pep wants him rested for FA cup / Europe maybe?

        1. Pep Roulette

          I don't think Pep has played DSilva in high intensity games this season!

    Seems risky, but dont want benched players when city play Bournemouth

    1. The Mighty Hippo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      That sounds good, as long as Sterling gets some decent playing time.

      1. The Red Devil
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Sterling is the weird one isn't it, rested before Brighton, played full 90, will he be rested again? Think should start be off at the hour mark

  12. Jeremiah
    • 13 Years

    Willian or Pulisic (C) next week? 😀

    1. Gobigorgohome

    I have one City player i am sure will start !!

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years

      Ederson?
      Foden?

      1. Amey

        Ederson 😉

    2. The Red Devil

      I have 3 but none could start.

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years

        Foden © looks amazing now with Ake injury TM

    4. Gobigorgohome
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      ederson

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        🙂

    5. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Ditto, I think he might actually get an assist soon 😉

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Amen

    6. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'm 90% sure these guys will start:

      Ederson, Dilva, Foden.

      That's it. Defensively could be any combo depending on whether Pep wants match time or rest. Jesus, Mahrez, Sterling, KdB, at least two will play.

  14. Gobigorgohome
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Will Jorginho take pen or still Willian?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Don't think Jorginho is going to be in the team.....

  15. davies

    DCL > Jesus (-8)

    Worth it?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Only if he starts.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        so unlikely.

    2. antis0cial
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No

    3. puhd
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I would do it. DCL needs to go and Jesus will do well

    4. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      -12 needed

  16. HollywoodXI
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I currently have Sterling, KDB and a Mahrez. I’m not over thinking who will play against Bournemouth as nobody knows except Pep. I’m sure it’ll be a massacre though so for those of us who get lucky and have two / three attacking players in the starting line up it’ll be a HUGE rank boost.

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      all 3 couod be benched.. just saying

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yep. Sterling came off the bench a couple of games ago and scored 10 points for me in just 30 minutes. It’s a lottery.

    2. Gobigorgohome
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      and foden dliva bilva plays

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Spoken to Pep?

        1. Gobigorgohome
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          well.. as per logic most agree here

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      That's what transfers are for.

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        You could easily transfer in benched City players. It’s a complete lottery with Pep.

    Jesús or Sterling next GW? Can’t afford both

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years

      Will Sterling start ? I like Sterling better

  18. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is DCL that bad of a finisher? Again today 2 SoT. I think he has 10 SoT in a row and 0 goals.

    He is due or?

    Trying to decide who to sell for Ings, DCL or Jimmy.

    Please advise

    "Phil Jones has had a knee operation."

    Not the most groundbreaking news, but there it is...

    1. FPL Daniel

      The United one?

    Mane or Pulisic/Willian last 3 GWs?

  23. g40steve

    Yes, Nacho off

  24. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Nacho off
    Praet on

    Good for Vardy that.

  25. Greek Freak

    4. TheSteel

    Duda, Auba to Pulisic, Jesus (C) for -4

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Don't ask me why I have Duda.
      Has been a deadweight on my bench since restart because I have had a lot injuries.

  27. Brosstan
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    So its not allowed to call out that Jimenez shouldnt have gotten 2 bps and there's obvious cheating going on at some level? What is this moderation? OPta and FFS stats clearly showed that he should get 0 yet he got 2 out of nowhere.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      It is not allowed.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      Members area is wrong due to the goals being scored in stoppage time etc

      1. Brosstan
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        There were no goals in stoppage time
