Vardy starts as injured Tierney and Ricardo miss out on Leicester v Arsenal

Leicester City v Arsenal gets Gameweek 10 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) underway, with kick-off at the King Power Stadium at 12:30 BST. See our Matchday Live if you want to watch along with Gianni!

There were injury and illness concerns for both sides heading into the Saturday lunchtime fixture but in the end, there is only one change across either team from Gameweek 9.

It’s Brendan Rodgers who makes it, as Luke Thomas replaces the injured Ricardo Pereira.

Mikel Arteta, therefore, sticks with the Arsenal side that started the Gunners’ 3-1 victory over Aston Villa eight days ago.

Ben White has been passed fit to start, while Martin Odegaard makes the bench after recovering from injury.

There is still no Kieran Tierney, however, who has been absent with an ankle problem.

Jamie Vardy was passed fit by Rodgers in midweek and is part of a two-pronged strike force alongside Kelechi Iheanacho.

Vardy has 11 goals and one assist in his 13 previous Premier League meetings with the Gunners, averaging a round 7.0 points per match.

The veteran striker, owned by almost one-third of all FPL managers and just over 50% of the top 10,000, is the most popular player on show in this fixture.

GAMEWEEK 10 LINE-UPS

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Castagne, Amartey, Evans, Soyuncu, Thomas, Tielemans, Soumare, Maddison, Iheanacho, Vardy.

Subs: Ward, Bertrand, Barnes, Choudhury, Dewsbury-Hall, Vestergaard, Ndidi, Daka, Lookman

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, White, Gabriel, Tavares, Partey, Lokonga, Saka, Smith Rowe, Aubameyang, Lacazette.

Subs: Leno, Odegaard, Maitland-Niles, Holding, Soares, Pepe, Elneny, Kolasinac, Martinelli

    Looks like GW1 early-adopters were right all along

    1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I am glad you at least are not hiding after I called you out on my Salah prediction and daka scored 4 goals in one game. Was surprised you just sat in a corner

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Sorry no idea what you’re talking about dude - but don’t get to worked up about it either way

        I’m glad Daka is finally coming on for you though - rewards all your patience selecting him from GW1 🙂

        1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Dont know what I am talking about.

            Yup - sounds like something you’d hear an angry drunk ranting about on a street corner at 4am - quite worrying really

              • 14 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              “And then I called him out on my Salah prediction…. hic… and I’ll tell you something else…. Hic… Daka scored 4 goals you know… hic… oh no I’ve gone and shaat meself again… hic… that’s the third time this week… hic…”

              You showed a lot of restraint to not hit send on what ever vitriol you were spewing up. Good thing too. Who saw 4 goals coming, right?

              1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
                • 6 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                Paranoid much 😆 dude I’ve no clue what you’re rambling about honestly - but it’s funny I’ll give you that

                Daka is on - savour the moment!

                    What “convo” 😆 how am I going to find a link to something I wasn’t involved in - dude, this is basic stuff come on

                    Have you posted something about Salah & Daka, is that it?

                    Jesus Christ 😆

                        😆

                        You’ve really taken the Daka thing to heart huh?

                        It’s a lesson, don’t post bollcoks & then it won’t come back to embarrass you - simple stuff

                        At least you were true to your word & picked him from GW1 though, there is that at least

    The plan this coming GW is to get Mbuemo for Grealish (and do Marcal to Chilly).

    Should I forego getting Mbuemo and get ESR instead?
