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

    So glad Martinez got that save rightfully removed

      Must.resist.biting.

      Careful, somebody might shove your nose up your ass!

    3. mezza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Should have removed the other 2 while they were at it

    4. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years

      Could still be added back lol

      1. g40steve

        When FPL towers staff watch MOD that will be reinstated

        1. acidicleo

          According to BBC there are only 2 shots on target for wolves..

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Third shot on target removed because they believe he originally intended it to be a cross.

            Sounds pretty stupid when you say it out loud.

            1. acidicleo
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I know..Martinez owner here too..

            2. Baps Hunter

              • 8 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              It certainly looked like a shot to me. Yes "slightly" soft, but a lot of failed or softer shots on target have been approved.

              1. The Suspended One
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                I’d like to know if they’re no longer going to get goals when an intended cross goes in the back of the net...

                1. jason_ni
                  • 10 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  That then becomes an assist to the player who crossed it into the net.

                  1. The Suspended One
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 12 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    They get the assist and they award the goal to... opta

                    1. jason_ni
                      • 10 Years
                      5 years, 1 month ago

                      Opta 14.0 fwd next season.

    Bertrand Traore and Ricardo Pereira have not been great differentials off the WC...

    1. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Went triple Leicester. Mistake of the season for me.

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Same here. Already shipped Barnes and Vardy.

        Pereira will be lucky to survive next weeks transfer.

    2. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yep. I’ve plummeted down the ranks and I hold Tom Freeman fully responsible

  3. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Ings now flagged on fpl, only 25% chance of playing vs City 🙁

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      That’s a 0%

      Didn’t look good

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Did he manage to walk off or was it a stretcher jobby?

        1. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Walked

        2. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Walked off but it was non contact and he wasn’t putting weight on it

          1. how now brown cow
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Unlikely to risk him v city if any doubt anyway.

          2. Baps Hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            You can't walk without putting weight on the foot.

            1. The Suspended One
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Full weight*

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Ralph has already said it didn't look good. I would bet he does not play 1 second of the next match.

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Zero chance

    4. Dammit_182
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Feel sorry for him and Southampton. I’m thinking bring back Antonio as replacement but chances are he will then go and do the same thing vs United.

  4. g40steve

    Maupay G

    1. g40steve

  5. Rainer

    Maupay G Lallana A offside.

    Lallana rolling back the years!

  6. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years

    Burn firmly on bench. Brighton cs assured.

    Is Iheanacho really a football player?

    1. Jindaljain
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He was before he left city

      1. JJO
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Awfull player just like Jesus
        Its easy ro play footbal in City

    2. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years

      Watch his last goal 🙂

    3. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Only as good as his last goal

  9. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Just watch Brighton lose this now. They're a statistical aberration.

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      All of which regress to the mean;-)

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years

        That's very mean !

        1. Abraham & Cheese
          • 7 Years

          It's the mode right now!

              • 8 Years

              This banter’s bang average

  10. Egg noodle
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Didn't realise how vital Maddison is to Leicester's gameplay. I thought it was all about the fullbacks and Vardy

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Tired like any other high press team. They’re all falling apart into this mediocre nonsense.

    2. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe Justin too..

  11. JJO
    • 13 Years

    Perreira worst buy this season
    And he was number 1 player for me on my wc

    1. Saka Punch
      • 7 Years

      Same man, so annoying

    2. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      We tried to be smart, that rarely works out

      1. Henryyy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Worst part is got to keep for SHU

        1. Saka Punch
          • 7 Years

          🙁

        2. JJO
          • 13 Years

          Maybe we are gonna be rewarded:)

          1. Henryyy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            LOL

            Yes with another 1-2 pointer

    3. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      taking up good positions for a defender ,not being fed very much atm,rodgers will sort that problem.

      1. JJO
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Well probably the worst thing was that Rodgers introduced Iheanacho and move to 2 strikers
        Awfull decision
        And ofcourse Maddison and Barnes injuries

    4. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Feels like attacking fullbacks at least recently that get injured take a while to get back their attacking threat which is why I didn't really want to go near.

      1. JJO
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Well he looks lively but Leicester as a team is in
        a real freefall

    5. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah Ricky Ricardo not looking great

  12. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Bobby Sanchez will be laughing on my bench with his additional save point very soon.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      They’ll donate it to someone else like Emi.

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      holding both for BB?

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Nope, played BB with Pope (10) + Martinez (12)

  13. A-L
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Watkins 7.1% conversion rate over the last 6 matches(and probably similar before this). Can't wait to get him out on my WC

    1. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Did you see his shot from outside the box today? Terribly unlucky

      1. A-L
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I didn't see it, but I've kept him for so long due to similar false promises in past GWs

    2. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe similar rate to Werner?

      1. A-L
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Werner is 7.7%, good call!

    3. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      good first half, was unlucky

      went missing second half

      keeping till 31 then may ship for Antonio / DCL

      1. A-L
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah that's what I'm thinking - always seems to pass the ye test but fixtures are about to take a turn after that

    4. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He’s not very good. Never has been.

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Never?

        In the whole 5 minutes he’s been in the league?

  14. not_astarte
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Desperate Liverpool fans have created a GoFundMe accound to raise funds for the possible signing of Kylian Mbappe.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      We don’t need MBappe (wouldn’t turn him down mind) we just need a fit squad and a normal season.

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      They have no chance.

  15. Supertrooper
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez just got a save from saving from his own defender.

    Opta deeming that this was done intentionally by the Brighton defender?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Opta is broken

    2. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years

      Opta is a monopoly. This is what happens when there is a monopoly.

    Ah the coaching acumen of BR laid bare. Hate to see it..

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I know what you are saying but look at what has happened to Celtic since he left. There again look what happened to Liverpool when he left. I’ll get my coat.

  19. Egg noodle

    Rivals has benched DCL and White.
    Poor guy is going to rage if Brighton maintain their CS and Rodriguez starts.

    Where’s that poster who mocked me yesterday for suggesting Ward-Prowse as a Barnes replacement?

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Cheeky pen with the ings injury

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Well to be fair to whoever it was, Ings injury was luck to give him the penalty.

    3. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years

      Nobody mocked you.

        Yup, can’t believe I’ve capped Kane over KdB and Gundogan though....didn’t think Gundogan EO would be so high!

          But you thought Kane would outscore them in a single match, probably come off with a hattrick!

            I think I had just convinced myself the City boys would only start 1 each but now having doubts

            Straight back to DCL if they double in 28. Although annoying as I’ve used so many transfers between those 2 and only have DCLs goal and BAPs vs Leeds to show for it!
