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

    Ted, are you regretting Foster over Ramsdale

      I certainly am. Him & Saka benched and useless Vardy starting.

      1. _Greg
        5 years, 9 days ago

        That was an unlucky slip there. You almost cursed him at the end of the stream. Mark saying he thought James probably wouldn't start distracted you!

          *i'm not Ted btw, just responded as another wretched Ramsdale bencher

          1. _Greg
            5 years, 9 days ago

            Ah. I have Ramsdale and Begovic, had I had Foster I would of most likely played him.

    This game could not have gone any worse for me. Vardy owner, no Arsenal.

    1. Il Capitano
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Ditto

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      5 years, 9 days ago

      I could, Vardy owner, Ramsdale on bench.

    3. dshv
      5 years, 9 days ago

        5 years, 9 days ago

        Thank you. Keep on doing that

  4. Random Name
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Ramsdale should be starting for England ahead of Pickford

  5. Thanos

    Went Foster over Ramsdale…

    I bet many of us would've liked if Vardy didn't play at all today. Would've got White's points off the bench.

    1. Thomas Magnum
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Tomiyasu points for me so much of the same.

      1. The Philosopher
        5 years, 9 days ago

        Yeah. Having a minimum 6-8 points on the bench every week is a norm for me though 😀

        1. Thomas Magnum
          5 years, 9 days ago

          Gotta get excited for the bench boost week then 😉 haha

          1. The Philosopher
            5 years, 9 days ago

            BB week the only week I don't have points on the bench 😀

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Vardy played?

  9. Jafooli
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Benched White, played Vardy…..the advice on here these days is truly horrendous….

    1. PartyTime
      5 years, 9 days ago

      No one’s fault tbh

    2. The Philosopher
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Exactly. Arsenal CS and Vardy blank were so obvious 😀

      1. Jafooli
        5 years, 9 days ago

        😉

    3. Van der Faart

      There's always one, every every.

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 9 days ago

        *week

    4. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Speaking of bad advice…aren’t you the one who told me to sell White?

      1. Jafooli
        5 years, 9 days ago

        😆 yeah I think so…..hopefully you didn’t listen?

        1. Dthinger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          5 years, 9 days ago

          I did! And I ignored my own advice to you (avoid Brentford D without Raya) to bring in Henry! LOL!

    5. DycheDycheBaby
      5 years, 9 days ago

      It's your own fault at the end of the day.

      1. Jafooli
        5 years, 9 days ago

        😯

    Spotted on LiveFPL, Alex Pearse has a really amazing FPL record (6 top 5k finishes in last 8 years) but caps Vardy for a second GW in a row - ouch:

    1. Jafooli
      5 years, 9 days ago

      😮 what’s he thinking….

    2. ANGRY PERSON
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Not gonna gain rank playing safe

      1. fusen
        5 years, 9 days ago

        Except when you punt and it goes wrong you make your bad rank even worse...

      2. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 9 days ago

        Yeah I guess trying to make up rank but Vardy is a weird one to punt on

    3. fusen
      5 years, 9 days ago

      That feels like he's trying to punt on captains to boost his poor rank this season

    4. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Very odd decision.. a complete no brainer captaining salah this week.

      Bringing in Azpi odd also

  15. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    5 years, 9 days ago

    What a dreadful start to the GW

  16. Hotdogs for Tea
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Ramsdale & Vardy owner .. how should I feel with Saka 2nd on my bench too ?

  17. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Alonso benched again

    1. jason_ni
      5 years, 9 days ago

      I'm just glad I've shipped him out.
      0-0-0

      Was a fun run Marcos.

  18. SteJ
    5 years, 9 days ago

    It would be funny if Foster had an amazing game and scored the same as Ramsdale

  19. Bartowski
    5 years, 9 days ago

    If we all concentrate hard enough maybe Foster can get injured in the warm up...

  20. Fish up a tree
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Rambo essential!

    5 years, 9 days ago

    Gabriel 3, Ramsdale 2, ESR 1
    Ramsdale one save away from an extra save point and an extra bonus but can’t complain!

  28. Flair
    5 years, 9 days ago

    It's absolutely hilarious how Vardy went from 7 goals in 8 to 0 in 2 and 2 points as soon as everyone brought him in.

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Textbook Vardy

  29. TomSaints
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Ramsdale owners deserve that for their patience

  30. jason_ni
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Probably the most annoying thing about owning ramsdale and benching him, is all the new owners who have just brought him in for the Raya injury, gobbling up his points.

    That just makes it all the worse!
