Jamie Vardy (ยฃ10.0m) returns from injury for the final Premier League match of the day – but the long-serving striker is only among the substitutes for Leicester City’s clash with Arsenal.

Kick-off at the Emirates is at 19:15 GMT.

Vardy is joined on the bench by Kelechi Iheanacho (ยฃ5.7m) and it appears from the teamsheets as if Harvey Barnes (ยฃ7.0m) is leading the line for the Foxes in north London.

James Maddison (ยฃ7.0m) is also handed his first Premier League start of the season, with Ayoze Perez (ยฃ6.2m) making way.

Brendan Rodgers has changed to a back three for this game, with Christian Fuchs (ยฃ4.5m) drafted into the centre of defence alongside Wesley Fofana (ยฃ5.0m) and Jonny Evans (ยฃ5.0m).

Arsenal are much changed from the midweek win over Rapid Vienna but compared to their starting XI at Manchester City last weekend, there are only two alterations.

Willian (ยฃ7.8m) isn’t fit to feature and Nicolas Pepe (ยฃ7.7m) drops to the bench, with Alexandre Lacazette (ยฃ8.5m) recalled and Thomas Partey (ยฃ5.0m) given his full Premier League debut.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (ยฃ11.7m), Arsenal’s most-owned FPL asset, is aiming to avoid a fourth straight blank – he previously hasn’t gone more than three successive Gameweeks without an attacking return since moving to England in 2018.

All of Leicester’s midfielders, including Barnes, are owned by less than 5% of Fantasy bosses.

Their two most popular options are wing-backs James Justin (ยฃ4.8m) and Timothy Castagne (ยฃ5.8m), who each sit in more than one in five FPL squads.

Those two defenders are the only players from either side who have a double-digit “effective ownership” among the top 10,000 FPL managers.


Arsenal XI: Leno, Bellerin, Luiz, Gabriel, Tierney, Ceballos, Xhaka, Partey, Saka, Aubameyang, Lacazette.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Castagne, Fofana, Evans, Fuchs, Justin, Tielemans, Mendy, Praet, Maddison, Barnes.

          1. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Maybe because a lot of people bought him ?

    • WVA
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Am I ridiculous for benching Justin v Arsenal? Literally everyone else in my two mini leagues started him

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I benched him. I think I might start doing the exact opposite of what logic dictates is sensible from now on.

    • Magic Zico

      Was I correct in playing Pickford iver McCarthy, hardly an exciting question but still bumming me. I swapped last minute when I thought Rodriguez would play.

      1. Party time
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Why do you have pickford in your team?

          1. Danno - Emre Canada
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Ha yep good question. I’ve had far too many fires to put out than my GK

            1. Party time
                5 years, 7 months ago

                You have to sell ASAP, he is not worth it. Everton’s defence is sht

            Sell sell sell.

        • WVA
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Sold Vardy, benched Justin, 13 points down the drain!

          1. Fred54
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Good decision, can't be doing with points and looking like a casual.

        • WVA
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Oooops just realised I sold Vardy for a hit for Kane and benched Justing which leaves me 17 points down currently, haven't captained Kane either so I'm mightily screwed, FPL is messed up
