The first of two Premier League matches to take place on Sunday sees newly promoted West Bromwich Albion entertain last season’s fifth-place side, Leicester City.

Kick-off at the Hawthorns is at 14:00 BST.

Much of the Fantasy interest in this fixture, unsurprisingly, is in the visitors.

Four of the Foxes’ assets boast double-digit Fantasy Premier League ownerships at the time of writing.

By contrast, just one of Albion’s starting XI, Matheus Pereira (£6.0m), features in more than 1% of FPL squads.

There were no huge shocks upon the release of the teamsheets, with James Maddison (£7.0m) only match-fit enough for a place among the substitutes.

Jamie Vardy (£10.0m), the most-owned player in today’s game, leads the line for Brendan Rodgers’ side.

A whopping 80% of his attacking returns last season arrived against sides who finished 10th or below.

Timothy Castagne (£5.5m) is handed his Premier League debut, while James Justin (£4.5m) also gets a start at the back.

Pereira is joined by Grady Diangana (£5.5m) and Callum Robinson (£5.5m) in the hosts’ attack, with all three players hooking up with the Baggies again after successful loan spells in 2019/20.

Just five of West Brom’s 14 Championship clean sheets last season came at the Hawthorns – the first not arriving until February.


West Bromwich Albion XI: Johnstone, O’Shea, Ajayi, Bartley, Furlong, Livermore, Sawyers, Gibbs, Pereira, Diangana, Robinson.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Justin, Ndidi, Soyuncu, Castagne, Mendy, Praet, Tielemans, Perez, Barnes, Vardy.

      Wow I thought I had fallen at the first hurdle with no Salah

  7. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    not on the match. How is Pereira looking?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      quite good

    2. ManofKent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not getting enough service, but okay

    3. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      thanks, I may switch from jwp to him

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        He won't play many worse teams though.

  8. BenDavies
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    I feel Mount was really ignored by most on here, despite the fact he's almost guaranteed to start against Brighton. Can see him getting a decent haul on Monday.

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      And after Brighton?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        This is the thing - one start?

  9. TheSteel

    Cross by Justin

    1. Totti
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      looks like this is the best thing he made in this match LoL

      i'm not watching the match BTW

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Pass by Jesus.

  10. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Need that non-Salah cash to start delivering, starting at 4.30 today. Surely the only way is up from here.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yeh, I put the cash into Kane rather than have a dead Davis clogging up my squad. Need Harry and my triple Blues to bail me out

  11. Demi
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Allan, Doucoure in. No Hamez start

    1. Puntillimon
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Oh line up is out?

    2. KGFC
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Team sheets are out already?

    3. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Cool. I left Doucoure on my bench though, just in case.

    4. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      DCL?

    5. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Doherty starting?

    6. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Hey Demi. Everton with anew midfield should be exciting.

      1. Demi
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        For sure. I think they win today

    7. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Why not post the entire thing

      1. Demi
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    I wonder what Ivanovics price will be once he signs for WBA.

    I'd be tempted if 4.5.

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He’s a fossil

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Its gonna be 5.0 IMO. He has offensive history

    3. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      If ajayi is 5, expect 5.5 for ivanovic

  13. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Can’t say I’m expecting much from spurs defence today

  14. KGFC
    • 9 Years
