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.

        • 6 Years

        Have both Justin & Mitchell on my bench - but tbh without hindsight would've always made the same decisions

            Albrighton cut in and had a cross/shot, Johnstone didn't get a save for it!?

              • 11 Years

              it clearly wasnt a shot

            Non Vardy and salah owners being physically sick

            1. Utopsis
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              Literally 2 of the top goalscorers in the past 3 or so seasons

            • 7 Years

            Last seasons top goal scorer scoring goals - jammy!

            Knew this game was going to hurt - can’t have them all!

            1. Amey
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              Yup
              He hit brace 😀

                • 7 Years
                5 years, 7 months ago

                Hopefully he blanks the next two - Werner has 3 gws to make an impression

                1. Amey
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 7 months ago

                  Yup
                  Wilson only fell behind by 5 points.
                  KWP CS would have helped. But i like thay i have Martial this GW without doing anything

          • Hairy Potter
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Wish I'd watched that on Ceefax.

          • Garlana
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Justincredible

          • Fer Fuch's Ake
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Had to sacrifice TAA and get Gomez to afford Vardy, paid off this week

            1. stat sifter 888888
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              That was a very nervous watch considering I took the captaincy away from Salah for Vardy.

          • g40steve
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Vardy visits WBA five times & scores five times new record?

            1. afcblegend

            2. KwazyKing
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              Jamie vardy 9/1 for 3 shots on target, Gets 2 on target from pen spot and not any other, what a plumb.. He can put 5 from 5 up his arse

          • Maddamotha
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Regret picking Werner or Vardy now..

          • afcblegend
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            West Brom midfielders trying flicks and crazy passes at 3-0 down...

          • Bury94
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Very frustrating watch as a Barnes owner, had plenty of chances. Definitely one to keep hold of though

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              Barnes owners very unlucky. He played well, just poor finishing.

            2. Fer Fuch's Ake
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              He will come good so keep him, if I didn't have Vardy I would be on Barnes moving forward and save some $

            3. stat sifter 888888
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              He will definitely come through with Maddison playing there. I always watch him and think his finishing is slightly suspect but he scored some really difficult goals in the Championship so I reckon this year he will be banging in at least 7-9.

            4. Brosstan
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              Hes a bad finisher, will always underperform xG

          • Twisted Saltergater
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Justin was my placeholder while I benched Martial. Worked out a dream 🙂

            1. Champions League Varane
              • 7 Years

              Nice 😉

              • 9 Years

              Yeah, ings was an absolute disappointment!

              Thanks 🙂 Will ride the luck for now, I’m not kidding myself.

              Awesome
              KWP for me 😕

              1. Twisted Saltergater
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years
                5 years, 7 months ago

                Such fine margins. I’d have had KWP if I didn’t go with McCarthy.

                1. Amey
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 7 months ago

                  Yup

                  1. NABIL - FPL otai
                    • 13 Years
                    5 years, 7 months ago

                    Great start for you amey, well done

          • Botman and Robben
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Justin did it for me. Vinagre left in defense.

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              snap, Vinagre and Davies too

          • Cok3y5murf
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            This is making me consider DCL over Martial for next week. WBA one of the worst teams I've seen

            1. Bazzah
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              Nothing upfront.

              Any team with a half decent attack will pick them apart.

            2. Utopsis
              • 6 Years

              I took a punt on Pereira... anonymous

            • 12 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Pick one please:

            A) TAA, ASM, Mitro
            B) Mitchell, Hendrick, Vardy

            Knee is extremely jerky I know but need to find a way to get Vardy in.
