Simultaneous top-flight Saturday 3pm BST kick-offs make a welcome return today, with five Premier League matches getting underway at the traditional time.

Patson Daka (£7.5m) and Kelechi Iheanacho (£7.5m) are both on the bench for Leicester City’s clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers, as Brendan Rodgers goes with Harvey Barnes (£7.0m) and Ayoze Perez (£6.0m) to support Jamie Vardy (£10.5m) in attack.

£4.0m defender Daniel Amartey starts, while Luke Thomas (£4.5m) is deputising at left-back after Ryan Bertrand (£5.0m) tested positive for Covid-19.

Bruno Lage has opted for a 3-4-3 for his first Wolves match, with the starting XI not showing too many shocks. Nelson Semedo (£5.0m) is only fit enough for a place on the bench, however, with budget FPL defender Ki-Jana Hoever (£4.0m) starting in his stead.

Aston Villa are not only without the departed Jack Grealish (£8.0m) but also Ollie Watkins (£7.5m), who misses out with a bruised knee.

New signings Emiliano Buendia (£6.5m), Danny Ings (£8.0m) and Ashley Young (£5.0m) all start, the latter seemingly in an ‘out of position’ midfield role, with Leon Bailey (£6.5m) and Axel Tuanzebe (£4.5m) on the bench.

Watford boss Xisco Munoz hands debuts to new signings Emmanuel Dennis (£5.0m) and Juraj Kucka (£5.5m).

Troy Deeney (£5.5m) is on the bench.

Trevoh Chalobah (£5.0m) makes his Premier League debut for Chelsea at centre-half.

N’Golo Kante (£5.0m) and Hakim Ziyech (£7.5m) are both injured, while Kai Havertz (£8.5m) is among the substitutes after his two-hour run-out in midweek.

Romelu Lukaku (£11.5m) is not available because he is quarantining after his move from Inter Milan.

Marc Guehi (£4.5m) starts for Palace in Patrick Vieira’s first match in charge but fellow summer recruit Joachim Andersen (£4.5m) is on the bench.

Adam Armstrong (£6.0m) gets his Southampton debut up front alongside Che Adams (£7.0m), with Nathan Tella (£5.0m) only among the substitutes.

£4.0m FPL defender Tino Livramento and Romain Perraud (£5.0m) also make their Saints bows.

Richarlison (£7.5m) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.0m) start for Everton, who also include new signings Andros Townsend (£5.5m) and Demarai Gray (£5.5m) in the starting XI.

James Rodriguez (£7.0m) is one of five players who are isolating but Lucas Digne (£5.5m) features.

Nick Pope (£5.5m) is between the posts for Burnley as Jay Rodriguez (£5.5m) gets the nod to support Chris Wood (£7.0m) up top.

Brighton are without Joel Veltman (£4.5m) for the trip to Turf Moor.

  4. Rainer

    I'm not watching the game but that looked like a Sanchez assist to me.

    1. Nanoelektronicar

      Gross they say.

  6. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Danny Ings, you have forsaken me.

  7. 272MK
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Digne Ings do something!!!

    Damn it I went Ings over Wilson.

  8. aussie-trav

    Bruno

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

    Van Dijk and Matip back together is a thing of beauty

  10. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

  11. TheTinman

    DCL! Knew it. Gerrin son

  12. Licky
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Bailey looks like a very fun player to watch.

  13. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Richarlison at 7.5 might be very good value.

    1. Athletico Underachieving
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Thought he was 8.0! Ings is getting two more weeks then hello Richarlison

  14. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Was looking bad for Benitez at HT. Now all those Everton fans who were booing him have to shut up.

  15. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Ings over DCL looking great.

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Can I say I owned DCL and changed him to Ings

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      DCL over Ings was my last min decision. Feels good!

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I was hooked when Ings moved

        Ings to dennis

      2. Pedersen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Why didn't you share 🙁

      3. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Well done! I remember you considering. Glad you switched 🙂

    3. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Two home games up next for Danny

  16. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I'm glad the template is falling. Bruno doesn't count as him and Salah need a different word to describe their ownership

  17. Postman Ty
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Should the DCL goal be an OG because keeper saved it but then came back off himself and in? Or does it need to touch the post or another player? Interesting.

  18. Esalman
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Wildcard active

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years

    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Wish I had benched Shaw the advice was play, lesson learned!

  22. 3 A
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Dcl, 1 goal
    Richa 1 goal , 1 assist

    DcL is the target man tough. Play central and 'touch' the 6 penalty box more.

    1. 3 A
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      *6 yard box
      *penalty box

  23. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Have Villa been that bad? Was already tempted to bring in Lukaku next week with how bad Arsenal were yesterday, is Ings worth hanging onto?

    1. Licky
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Haven't been cohesive more than anything else, imo.

    2. jia you
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Very poor, watched it all, Bailey the only bright spark really

    3. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      2 juicy home fixtures. May as well give him those 2 games at least.

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        This ^

        They need time to settle without Jack... But it ain't pretty.

  24. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    People had DCL in their drafts until Ingsy came along.

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

      & DCLs flag.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        That too

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      His injury was very ill-timed

    3. shiraz
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Did dcl to ings because he was flagged, then before deadline switched back to dcl after benitez's presser

  25. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Buendia to Mbuemo?

    1. Random Name
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Not if you have Toney. Otherwise go for Mbeumbo, he looked good but i question his finishing

    2. Abaddon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Sarr?

  26. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    As things stand only 1 home non win out of 7. That's ridiculous

    1. GROBARI
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Crowd makes diffrence

  27. Total Slotball
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Oxlade Chamberlain starting means Liverpool aren't winning i'm afraid

  28. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I've been immaculate in my avoidance of points today. Well done me

  29. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    West Ham guys will save everyone tomorrow.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      By letting Wilson score?

  30. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Balogun to Dennis for free is about as obvious as obvious gets right?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Didn't he come off injured?

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Someone was saying he was subbed because he had an injury?

    3. Stupendous
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Ugh! Didn't see that. Great.
