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.

    Not even half an hour in, not looking good for Barnes but he's got time

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      If he's not subbed off after the red, he's off at half time.

  19. Steve The Spud

    Need to restructure get Barnes off

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Shush

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      With Perez RC I suspect we will see Iheanacho and Daka and Vardy and Maddison vs Norwich with Barnes benched.

  20. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Well that’s Barnes staying on then hopefully at least

  21. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    How was that not even given as a foul in real time? Ref had a clear view

  22. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Clear red card

  23. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Poor decision. He is trying to step across him in front of him, it's totally accidental. Yellow card for carelessness would be fair.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Lol, no.

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Reckless and dangerous, intent has nothing to do with it

    3. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      It was unfortunate. Can see what he's trying to do. Yellow would be good I don't strongly disagree with the red.

  24. diesel001

    2 years, 8 months ago

    Brendan Rodgers saw the replay and knew it was a RC.

  25. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Perez disaster performance and disaster challenge.

    Sealed the fate of Barnsey-boys evening points wise.

  26. Bielsa's Bucket

    Yep thats all over for Barnes now.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago
