Following on from an incredible finish to the Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham United game, the final Premier League match of the day sees Leicester City take on Aston Villa.

Kick-off at the King Power Stadium is at 19:15 BST.

Villa are defending the only remaining 100% record in the top tier of English football and in the least surprising team news of the weekend, Dean Smith’s troops are unchanged from the side that defeated Liverpool 7-2 a fortnight ago.

Jack Grealish (£7.1m) was transferred in by just under 775,000 Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of Gameweek 5, following on from his 24-point haul against the reigning champions.

Grealish is now the most-owned FPL asset in this Villa squad, sitting in more than one in five Fantasy teams.

Leicester’s own most-popular player, Jamie Vardy (£10.1m), misses out this evening, having failed to recover from a calf injury that rendered him a doubt for Gameweek 5.

Over 500,000 Fantasy managers captained Vardy for this fixture, although that figure will no doubt be skewed by some early-season “ghost teams”.

Kelechi Iheanacho (£5.7m) gets a rare start up front in Vardy’s absence.

Brendan Rodgers’ other two changes are also enforced, with Caglar Soyuncu (£5.5m) and Daniel Amartey (£4.0m) dropping out.

Teenager Wesley Fofana (£5.0m) is handed his Premier League debut at centre-half, with Dennis Praet‘s (£5.5m) inclusion meaning that the Foxes have reverted to a back four for this encounter.

James Justin (£4.8m) and Timothy Castagne (£5.8m), both of whom have FPL ownerships in excess of 20%, start again at full-back.

Castagne is still top of the pile for points among Fantasy defenders going into this fixture.

Emiliano Martinez (£4.7m) is the now the most-owned goalkeeper in the game, having racked up successive clean sheets in his first two Villa appearances.


Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Castagne, Evans, Fofana, Justin, Mendy, Praet, Tielemans, Pérez, Barnes, Iheanacho.

Aston Villa XI: Martínez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Targett, McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Barkley, Trezeguet, Watkins, Grealish.

    Ok enough is enough, I'm tapping out and investing in Spurs. Have 2 FT:

    A) Jimenez, Foden to Watkins, Son
    B) Jimenez, Werner, Wood to DCL, Watkins, Kane (-4)

    1. Tonyawesome69
      6 years, 11 days ago

      A

      1. waltzingmatildas
        6 years, 11 days ago

        What would you have left if you did jimenez and wood to Kane

        1. Jay Jay Okocha
          6 years, 11 days ago

          Brewster

          1. Jay Jay Okocha
            6 years, 11 days ago

            Reluctant to waste a forward spot on Brewster with goals flying in all over though

      6 years, 11 days ago

      You know what he's going to do, he's tapped out for time out. Love those adverts, I see they've graduated to tv.

  2. WVA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Good god my team for next week has amazing fixtures, hopefully I'll make 30 points!?

    Martinez
    Robbo Lamptey KWP
    Salah Son Zaha Pereira
    Kane Jimi DCL
    Steer Justin Stephens Mitchell

    1. Botman and Robben
      6 years, 11 days ago

      At least 25.

      1. Leonard hatred
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Safe 20 points. easy.

  3. Slitherene
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Decided on KdB out & willing to take a hit..

    McCarthy ¦
    TAA - Coady - Ward
    KdB* - Salah - Jorginho - Son
    Kane - Maupay - Wilson*
    ¦ Bissouma* - Justin* - Taylor

    A) Bissouma -> Mahrez + JRod
    B) Justin -> Fernandes + Reguilon
    C) Wilson -> Grealish + Aguero

    Which option seems best?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      6 years, 11 days ago

      B

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      6 years, 11 days ago

      C, despise Brno

  4. waltzingmatildas
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Adams to Antonio - thought it was a decent long term decision but if he's injured, looks a bad move

    1. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 11 days ago

      he is injured? link?

      1. waltzingmatildas
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Scout tweets

  5. Werner Bremen
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Podence to Rodriguez for a hit?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      6 years, 11 days ago

      I am thinking about doing this and will probably do it after the Wolves game

  6. DARE TO BISCAN
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Who do I swap Davies out for ?
    a) Saiss
    b) Reguilón
    c) Chilwell
    d) Konsa/AVL Def
    e) Lamptey
    f) someone else (max 5.9)
    Lots of choice, as defence needs an overhaul.

    1. Neves say Neves
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Dallas

    2. DMP
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Targett. 4.5. Left Back.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Dallas and use the money on the attack

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Haven't seen much of Leeds. Dallas/Leeds def looking good? Is he involved with attack?

        1. Hulk Smash
          6 years, 11 days ago

          He occasionally plays in midfield and gets forward

        2. Tonyawesome69
          6 years, 11 days ago

          When both Ayling and Dallas play full back then Ayling is the better option but Dallas will play in the midfield and is more attacking

    4. Bram
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Chilwell or Castagne

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Castagne looks quality. Already have Justin though. Definitely one I'm keeping tabs on.

  7. FPL Daniel
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Will this be the first 0:0 this season? There wasn't any 0:0 right?

    1. Neves say Neves
      6 years, 11 days ago

      I hope so, only got Justin in this match

    2. BeaversWithAttitude
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Doesn't look like a 0-0 match to me.

    3. Bushwhacker
      6 years, 11 days ago

      I have seen it

  8. FPL Daniel
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Come on Barnes so many SoT you have to convert this

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      This please.

  9. DMP
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Insane? For -8:

    Mitrovic+B.Davies+TAA to Kane+Targett+Robertson?

    Ramsdale
    Robbo Taylor Targett
    Salah Son James Zaha
    Kane DCL Jimenez
    Button Bissouma KWP Ferguson

    Can do straight swap of Jimenez to Kane or/and Davies to anyone. Have 3.9 ITB.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Probably should work out

    2. Hulk Smash
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Jiminez to Kane for free is a hell of a move

      1. DMP
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Have BDavies to sort out either.

        1. Hulk Smash
          6 years, 11 days ago

          I wouldn't take a hit for a defender in the current climate though. And the Kane move will get you more points.

          1. DMP
            6 years, 11 days ago

            Have to play Taylor vs Spurs and KWP vs Everton tough.

  10. Brosstan
    6 years, 11 days ago

    How is that not a yellow. Horrible tackle

  11. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Wood haul would turn this into a great week

  12. Lionac
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Wouldn't do TAA -> Robertson. Waste of transfer/points

    1. Lionac
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Ignore this

    2. Tonyawesome69
      6 years, 11 days ago

      If nothing pressing I don't think it's a waste. The stats show Robbo is the better player out of the two

      1. Hulk Smash
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Eye test suggests the same

  13. Catastrophe
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Time to make way for Kane! Help greatly appreciated!

    A) Wilson, Digne, Saiss, Jorginho/Klich
    B) Grealish, Digne, Saiss, X
    C) Rodriguez, Digne, Lamptey, X (-4)
    D) Rodriguez, Saiss, Bellerin, X (-4)
    E) Wilson, Grealish, Dallas, X (-4)

    X = Rotate Brewster/Bissouma/Justin/Mitchell

    Currently thinking A or B.

    Cheers!!

    1. FPL Theorist
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Ask again after the game when we have had a chance to assess Grealish.

  14. Rhodes your boat
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Vinagre to Dallas the move here? Want Kane but have bigger fires to sort 1ft 0.5itb

    Martinez
    Robbo lamptey Mitchell
    Salah sterling son soucek
    Werner jimi dcl

    Forster burke dunne vinagre

    1. Tonyawesome69
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Yes

  15. Right In The Stanchion
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Justin and Martinez owner. If it ends 0-0 I’m in for an explosion tonight

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      6 years, 11 days ago

      sounds dodge

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Martinez and Castagne here but Barnes also

  16. Kodap
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Jimmy & Trent > Kane & Chilwell depending on the wolves game tomorrow!

  17. JohnnyCroat
    6 years, 11 days ago

    I know the Twitter feed says Haller missed the game with a knock, but several WHU insiders say he trained yesterday without issue.

    1. HNI
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Personal issues

  18. HNI
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Guys just wanted to confirm that all 3 of burnley, sheffield and newC defend deep right? Asking as seems I can delay Werner for some more time as really struggled against deep CPL...need Kane instead

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 11 days ago

      They're all crap deep or not

      1. HNI
        6 years, 11 days ago

        So is CPL...I am.not saying Chelsea win/score, Thinking around Werner...Feel stupid to not go for Kane this gw even after watching Manutd match as thought its because Manutd were horrible

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      6 years, 11 days ago

      doesn't matter how much all those deep defend, will still leak goals aplenty and are rubbish.

  19. Brosstan
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Another absolutely useless performance from Harvey Barnes

    1. HNI
      6 years, 11 days ago

      He builds up his shotometer though. Need AvL cleanie and grealish goal...without vardy atleast cs is possible

    2. DannyDrinkVodka
      6 years, 11 days ago

      That Son>Barnes transfer will haunt me for a long time

  20. Horlicks esq.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Just waiting for the chat to shout Grealish. Come on lads. I need you to confirm my points.

  21. @persecuted_by_mods
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Martinez is a save monster

  22. Right In The Stanchion
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Would you sell Werner to Kane? Have two free transfers.

    Feel like Werner can match him and a good differential now

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      6 years, 11 days ago

      yep, one game against a high line sou doesn't make werner essential, Kane is doing it consistently.

      1. l.Harm
        6 years, 11 days ago

        he'll have even more fun against Maguire and co

    2. Horlicks esq.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Same issues. Exact money for Werner to Kane. Kane fixtures better for next three. could play the market and bring in Kane and bring Werner back in 4 weeks. It’s the clever way to play.

      1. Right In The Stanchion
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Spurs won’t score 3 every week. I’ll wait for injuries and do late transfers

    3. Bushwhacker
      6 years, 11 days ago

      No. Werner’s first game with a fit Chelsea front line was a haul ... more hauls coming

  23. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Watkins playing?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Hiding

    2. Brosstan
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Not facing Liverpool this week

    3. Bushwhacker
      6 years, 11 days ago

      No high line. No power magnets in the goal as they’re away.

  24. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Soucek to Jorginho if no other issues?

    1. Jack Burton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      I want to get Jorginho in but folks on here saying his place could be at risk

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Yeah that’s true, might just save

  25. Rash
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Keep racking those saves up

  26. Leonard hatred
    6 years, 11 days ago

    martinez on 1 saves point already

  27. Brosstan
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Rashford yesterday was a penalty but this isn't??

    1. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      It's consistently inconsistent isn't it 🙂

      1. Brosstan
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Consistently wrong. Rashford was a dive and this was a clear penalty

  28. HNI
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Which looks best?
    1) RJames to Digne
    2) Cwilson to Kane
    3) Cwilson to Kun
    Problem with 2/3 is defence is screwed and will have to play Mitchell vs Fulham

    1. Leonard hatred
      6 years, 11 days ago

      probably not the worst move ever. fulham/mitro looked abysmal today.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      6 years, 11 days ago

      2 - not many points in defence these days

      1. HNI
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Yea defence gone to dogs really...Better try for doublr digit than 1-2 defender points

    3. HNI
      6 years, 11 days ago

      i can get Taa too for Rjames but with Robertson already inband van dijk out it seems dumb

  29. drughi
    6 years, 11 days ago

    got rid of justin on wc and picked up grealish and watkins, this gonna end 0-0 isnt it

    1. HNI
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Rjames 1pointer blocking my Justin

    2. HNI
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Can advice me above Drughi?

  30. Botman and Robben
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Martinez 3 saves already?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Aston Villa defence porous. One will go in.

      1. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Looks like it

    2. Leonard hatred
      6 years, 11 days ago

      they were all easy saves, leicester attack isn't looking clinical without vardy.

    3. shiraz
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Yup

    4. Pukki Party
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Only 3 so far yeah
