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.

  7. Bucky Barnes
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Richarlison on an early yellow
    Bertrand with Covid and Pepe just being crap
    If Richarlison gets himself sent off wildcard activation is a sad reality

  16. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Martinez -1

  17. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Was thinking about Pulisic.
    Guess no points for thinking about a player.

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Exactly, thought enough about Alonso to comment on joes captain vid that he should have got a mention but couldn’t fit him in

  18. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Had Sarr in quite a few drafts. Looks great and the fixtures to boot

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Same

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

      So did I. Putting too much value for their friendly vs CP is my excuse.

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

    Sarr looks underpriced.

  20. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Vardy looking sharper than ever. That is definitely a surprise after the latter part of last season.

    1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Was probably tired

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

        I think he was carrying his hip injury.

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

          Or what's the correct phrase?

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

    Horrendous deflection for the Sarr goal. What a finish from Vardy tho... so, so good.

  22. TY THE GOONER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    hello chaps

  23. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Really want Sarr or Raphinha. Even had Sarr but Barnes looked better

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

      Barnes looked good yes. Hindsight makes everything so easy.

  24. Podge
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Dennis is laughing at me from the end of my bench 🙁

  25. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Very close to Wener goal Alonso assist.

    Chelsea running rampant.

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

    Nearly Werner G Alonso A

    If only he was nailed list past years...

  27. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    ANyone wildcarding next week?

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

      To get who?

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        *To get rid off all

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Bruno non owners wildcarding as we speak

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

        If they have spread the money all they can do is wait and see if Salah is uninjured after the game. If they have Vardy and Son, perhaps they can wait a moment.

    3. SINGH
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Wildcard is active. Ayling, Vardy, Sarr and Fred are all coming into my team

  28. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Denis is massively on the radar now

  29. Superflymonk
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    FFS I had Amstrong in my final draft. Read so many articles he wasn't going to start for southampton and took him out.

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

      Yep, same, hassenhutl did say pretty explicitly he wasnt ready in fairness

  30. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    No Mount assy for the second??

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

      Guaita robbed it off him.
