Antonio the most-owned player on show for West Ham v Leicester

Fantasy Premier League’s (FPL) second-most popular forward, Michail Antonio (£7.6m), starts as West Ham United take on Leicester City in the first Monday night football fixture of the new season.

There are no real shocks in either line-up, with both sides unchanged from Gameweek 1.

At West Ham, Vladimir Coufal (£5.0m) and Aaron Cresswell (£5.5m) both start in defence, with Jarrod Bowen (£6.5m), Said Benrahma (£6.1m) and Pablo Fornals (£6.0m) lining up behind Antonio in David Moyes’ 4-2-3-1 formation.

Arthur Masuaku (£4.5m) remains out with a knee problem.

As for Leicester, Harvey Barnes (£7.0m) – owned by 11.3% of FPL managers – starts for the visitors, alongside James Maddison (£6.9m), Jamie Vardy (£10.5m) and £4.0m defender Daniel Amartey.

Ryan Bertrand (£4.9m) is still unavailable due to the positive test that also caused him to miss last week’s match with Wolverhampton Wanderers, while new signing Jannik Vestergaard (£5.0m) has picked up an injury in training and is not included in the squad.

Kick-off at the London Stadium is at 20:00 BST.

      Self-fulfilling question

      The more people ask, the more are aware they should check, meaning more would make the early move, increasing the chance of a rise

        Yeah too much on here imo, we finally had an actual game to base decisions on and people still want to stick with what they picked blind. Obviously one game isn’t really enough but it’s better than none. And Barnes can always be bought back if he ever looks like completing a match or scoring a goal

      I think he will start in the short term, Gianoullis had a tough game against City, but in the medium term they will share minutes and rotate.

      Norwich paid a good fee for Gianoullis and will have planned on him being first choice this season.

      Also Tzolis played on the left with him at PAOK and once he’s come into it theres a relationship to use there.
