Jamie Vardy (£10.2m) is part of a two-man strike force again as Leicester travel to face Brighton.

Recent injuries to Harvey Barnes (£6.9m) and James Maddison (£7.2m) have forced Brendan Rodgers’ hand which has proved good news for Kelechi Iheanacho (£5.6m).

The Nigerian international has now started three Premier League matches in a row, Vardy still waiting to reward his 20.2% ownership since he earned a strike partner.

Timothy Castagne (£5.7m) and Ricardo Pereira (£5.9m) provide the width as the wing-backs either side of a central-midfield trio comprising Youri Tielemans (£6.4m), Sidnei Tavares (£4.5m) and Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m).

A recent calf injury for Jonny Evans (£5.5m) means another start in defence for Daniel Amartey (£3.9m), who is joined by Caglar Söyüncü (£5.3m) and Wesley Fofana (£5.0m) as part of a back-three.

Brighton remain a team of differentials, Lewis Dunk (£4.9m) their most popular asset on 5.8% ownership.

He starts in what looks to be a back-four tonight, which also potentially features Dan Burn (£4.2m) and Joël Veltman (£4.3m) in traditional full-back roles, although it is always hard to tell with Graham Potter.

Goalkeeper Robert Sánchez (£4.5m) sits in 3.0% of teams while Neal Maupay (£6.1m) ploughs a lone furrow for Brighton and 2.7% of Fantasy managers.

Double Gameweek 27 Line-ups

Brighton and Hove Albion XI (4-1-4-1): R Sánchez; Burn, Dunk, White, Veltman; Bissouma; Trossard, Mac Allister, Lallana, Groß; Maupay.

Leicester City XI (3-5-2): Schmeichel; Söyüncü, Fofana, Amartey; Castagne, Tielemans, Tavares, Ndidi, R Pereira; Vardy, Iheanacho.

Double Gameweek 27 so far…

Emiliano Martínez (£5.3m) was at it again as Aston Villa drew 0-0 with Wolves.

The Villa Park side were on the back-foot for most of the second half, which is usually the perfect scenario for owners of their goalkeeper.

In keeping a 14th clean sheet of 2020/21, he produced two saves and claimed two one point.

The woodwork was arguably the man of the match in this midlands rivalry match on Saturday evening though.

None felt that more keenly than Ollie Watkins (£6.6m) and his owners as he struck the crossbar in the opening exchanges, the seventh time he has done so this season.

Ezri Konsa (£4.6m) also hit the post during the opening period while Martínez owners could thank the woodwork for Conor Coady‘s (£4.8m) second-half effort somehow not ending up in the back of the net – before Romain Saïss (£4.9m) skied the even easier rebound.

Provisional bonus points

  • 3 – Conor Coady
  • 2 – Ahmed El Mohamady
  • 1 – Jonny, Emiliano Martínez

    Oh f**k off Iheanacho! Takes Popes clean sheet last week and now Dunk's. Im done with this game this season.

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Lol

    2. Utopsis
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Get him in to stop him scoring

    3. AC/DC AFC

      C ya

    4. Tango74

      Why pick teams near bottom, they more likely to concede

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Easy to answer. Good recent defensive stats. In the 6 games prior to me bringing Dunk in, he had scored 8, 6, 6, 8, 9 and 7. And Brighton have a game in 29. Perfectly reasonable logic behind that move.

        I've just fallen between the gaps yet again as has happened so often this season. Never having players at the right time.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          But by then his decent spell of good points are done, it is Brighton when all said and done.

  2. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Leicester with their tails up.

  3. panda07

    Iheanacho, coming at yo!

    A day of completely pointless fpl goals

      Oh. Tell the EPL to sort it out like

    3. Tango74
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Pointless?

  5. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Blew it up, ref!

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Hi is dunk best defender for GW28 & GW29?

  6. not_astarte
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    just realised owning K. Iheanacho is much better privilege choice than having DCL.

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      A privilege is a little ott

  7. acidicleo
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Hmm...
    Can Brighton atleast shut out goal shy Newcastle in GW29?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Dunk 15 pointer 🙂

      1. acidicleo
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Maybe in GW28 derby!!

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Doubt it.

    3. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Of course they will after loads of people get them in on free hit and Brighton defenders aren't a differential.

  8. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Who else is ready for some troll goals tomorrow to punish those who lost faith?

    Kane HT?
    Salah Brace?
    Bruno G+A+Max?

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Salah can jog on but the other 2 would be welcome.

    2. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Wont be surprised with kane hatrick as I took armband off him last minute..

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Salah ownership still so high! How many blanks does it take for mass sales??

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        10 out of the last 13 games have been blanks as well!

    4. Don Kloppeone
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I dropped Bruno for Son this week so I’m expecting Son to get a RC and Bruno to haul

  9. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    White losing cs ffs. Did Leicester deserve the goal?

  10. Don Kloppeone
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Of course my cup opponent got in JWP for Barnes.

    He’s on 20 from 2
    I’m on 7 (-4) from 1

    Eughh

    1. Ejaaz11
      • 10 Years

      Looks like it will be the end of your cup run this week...

  11. chaser123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Any chance Martinez will get his save back or is it all done?

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Really frustrating I logged back on to find my points taken!

    2. HonestBlatter
      • 14 Years

      Has to get...it's FPL fraud

  12. Kryptonite666
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    BGW29 poll.

    1. How many players are you likely to have if you don’t plan to FH in 29 ?

    2. If you have your FH, are you considering saving it for 33 ?

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      1. 9 or 10 with 1 hit
      2. Already used but if I had it 33 looks perfect

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        9 or 10?! That’s some work to then get rid of deadwood aint it?

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          Thats what a Wildcard in 30/31 is for.

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 9 months ago

            Ahh I’ve already spent 2nd WC and so glad I did, been flying! But won’t have more than 7 for the blank, happy with that

        2. kennethrhcp
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          If you have 6 decent players now its pretty easy with 3 transfers to get to 9 decent players

          WC2 in the pocket for many to sort after

      2. djman102
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        1. 9 with no hit
        2. Used in 18. 33 would be good, possibly 35/36 if they do the "reschedule for fans"

    2. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Apparently GW36 could be a bumper DGW so might be beneficial to use FH then

      1. Tango74
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        People don’t want DGW on here as it’s a fraud

    3. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Will be 11 with one hit, and FH long gone!!! Haha

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        11?!!!

      2. Vazza
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Hey, good to see you online. What is your current draft for BGW29 looking like? I’m really stuck who to bring in. I could do two of these moves for free

        A. Areola => Martinez/Lloris

        B. Lowton => Reguilon/Dallas/Konsa

        C. ESR => Raphina/Lingard

        Let me know what you think mate

        1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          Hiya mate!! I would do the attacking moves personally I think Areola, Martinez and Lloris could all concede so many it’s best to use your transfers on the outfield players, I’d get Raphinna and Dallas, Leeds are so exiting to watch and have Sheffield United the week after so that would sway me to get them if you don’t have them!! So far I have both Martinez and Areola, and have Dallas, Konsa, Grealish, Raphinha, Bamford,Kane and Antonio so will save this week and have 2 frees, will get a Brighton defender and Son for sure, then might go for Auba or Bale !!

    4. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      10 without a hit.

      1. Messiah Hazard
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        11 if I am allowed to play both GKs

    5. mezza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      11 with a hit

    FFS Dunk

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      no pen

      1. mattk lfc
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Very lucky boy, didn't look like he touched the ball to me

        1. TRIPOS TOPPER
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          agree

          not a clean challenge at all and any contact on the ball came after man

        2. Postman Ty
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          It looks like blatant cheating from VAR, he clearly didn't touch the ball from the other angle but they repeatedly showed an inconclusive angle from behind instead? Contact was minimal so there's maybe an argument there but he did not touch that ball, Vardy tapped it forward.

          1. jason_ni
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 9 months ago

            I'm pretty sure the images we see are not the ones the officials are looking at. Could be wrong though.

            1. jason_ni
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 9 months ago

              When it comes to likes of sky showing replays on what happened.

            2. Postman Ty
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 9 months ago

              I'm watching on DAZN, think it's the same feed. Even so, if there is a scam that's clearly part of it. There's been so many sketchy camera angles and lack of variety in replays that it makes me distrust their intentions. I'm in no way a conspiracy theorist, I think they're almost always crap. But come on there's how many cameras on the field and they show one inconclusive view 8 times in a row? The view from the opposite side showed it quite clearly.

  14. jason_ni
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Var making some good decisions for a change today..

  15. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years

    3.9 def with the goal 😮

  16. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    That’s not a penalty

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Good decision VAR but Brighton shoot themselves abyway

    2. Postman Ty
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Dunk did not touch that ball.

  17. Bushwhacker

    Shocking goalkeeping. Leicester lucky as you like.

        1. JJO
          • 13 Years

          If they dont concede in first 10mins than maybe we have some chance for points

      • Ruudy Van
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        HELP NEEDED

        I have 2FT, 0.1ITB, no FH, WC 30/31. 7 for BGW currently can get 10 for no hit.

        Current team
        Martinez* Pope
        Targett* Dier* Dallas* Dias Stones
        Raphina* Bruno Salah gundo Barnes
        Bamford* Kane* DCl

        Would you prefer A
        DCL, Barnes, Salah, Stone OUT
        Antonio, Son, Auba, White IN -4

        Barnes Salah stone OUT
        Lingaard Son Dunk IN
        Maybe plus DCL to Antonio -4

        1. TRIPOS TOPPER
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          how are you doing 4 transfers for -4?

          1. Vazza
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 9 months ago

            He is going to stagger these over two weeks perhaps

            1. TRIPOS TOPPER
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 9 months ago

              if it were a mathematical proof he would lose marks for skipping steps!

              no alphas for that one

        2. TRIPOS TOPPER
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          prefer second option

          Why are you getting Auba, because he scored today? 12m for a non nailed striker in a poor team with European distractions ?

        3. TRIPOS TOPPER

        1. Tango74
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          Yes, but too much bitterness on here when their defenders concede.

          In fact too many bitter people when there players blank

      • Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Is salah to Aubameyang worth a punt given he has GW29?

      • Champions League Varane
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Worth FH in 29 if you already have..
        Can potentially take one more hit for someone

        Martinez
        Elmo (maybe) Dunk
        Raph Auba Son
        Bamford Kane Antonio
