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 I need ESR. Finally can get rid of Gray.

    1. Dannyb
      5 years, 9 days ago

      What if Gray bangs this week?

      1. Danstoke82
        5 years, 9 days ago

        To be fair, I’ve been waiting from him to bang again every week!

  2. lordkippe
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Even though he doesn get any pintes PEA will be my captain next GW

    1. Royal5
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Generous to the rest of us

  3. Andy_Social
    5 years, 9 days ago

    So I've left ESR's hauls on my bench TWICE, but at least it enables me to roll a transfer next week as there's no hurry to make a move whilst benching Antonio.

  4. Royal5

    Leicester look terrible

    1. Andy_Social
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Raphinha faces them next.

    Carbon copy of last weeks first game watching arsenal players rack up points

      Yap

    Cat from Red Dwharf needs to do something already

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Firmino?

      1. have you seen cyan
        5 years, 9 days ago

        Auba

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      Thanks I can't unsee this now :lol

      1. Andy_Social
        5 years, 9 days ago

        Death in Paradise for younger viewers.

  7. Bishopool
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Maddison and Leicester mid is extremely poor. All goals from their mistakes.

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

    All I need now is everyone to sell Salah and not buy him back and I might be able to still get a top 10k finish

    1. Pukki Party
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Looks like you support that guy who hacks accounts then

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

        Or I need about 4 or 5 blanks in a row from Salah so a lot do sell.

        I’m never selling him again on the other hand, as long he’s fit he can blank 10 games in a row I’m not selling

  9. Forza Papac

    Can see this being a game of two halves. Barnes on for Amartey at HT and Daka on at 60ish

  10. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Vardy hat trick is what Vardy would do now

    1. thegaffer82
      5 years, 9 days ago

      He doesn’t seem to be playing today. Must have been a mistake with the team sheets

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

        That's part of his cunning plan 😉

  11. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Leicester 10 goals (and counting) conceded in Amarteys last 5 starts

    And certain people were starting to plan for him this morning after the price drop & teamsheet

    *facepalm*

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

      He's 3.9m. It doesn't matter if he's any good at that price.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        5 years, 9 days ago

        There must be about ten 3.9 defenders... Amartey?

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

          Yeah I'd pick Amartey over Tsimikas, Johnson, Omobamidele and N. Williams.

          1. Zimo
            5 years, 9 days ago

            He's not wrong

          2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            5 years, 9 days ago

            Why him over any that don't take up a pool a
            Slot?

            They're all negative points merchants - that's what you're buying into with 3.9 defenders - as well as giving yourself a 14-man squad

    2. Bobby Digital
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Deep on my bench

  12. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 9 days ago

    ESR double rising. Looks like early transfers could be on the cards this week

    1. BrockLanders
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Yep. I'd planned it anyway

  13. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 9 days ago

    The only thing I want from this is a Vardy blank really.

    1. _Greg
      5 years, 9 days ago

      I second that.

    2. Paqueta Rice
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Likewise. Arsenal to concede from some low owned player too

      1. splitzz
        5 years, 9 days ago

        like nacho

  14. Scotch Jock
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Do the BBC know something: "LIVE Premier League: Leicester 0-12 Arsenal"?

  15. Paqueta Rice
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Might keep Ronaldo for the derby and do Benrahma and Bissouma to ESR and Mbueno for -4. Leaves me a bench headache but a strong bench is needed!

  16. Saka White Rice
    5 years, 9 days ago

    There's only one thing certain in FPL right now. The second you decide to bring ESR in he will blank.

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

      I brought him and Trent in for a double hit this week, pleased for now

    2. Royal5
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Had so high hopes for him at the begining of the season. Let me down big time.

  17. Goodfeathers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Great effort from nacho!

  18. Debauchy
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Good save Ram

  19. Botman and Robben
    5 years, 9 days ago

    How is Vardy looking for those watching?

    1. Andy_Social
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Just nearly had a touch

    2. Royal5
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Not sure he's had a touch

    3. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Not involved … largely because his team mates seem incapable of passing properly today.

    4. Bishopool
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Leicester mid poor to build up for him. He should take it over by himself.

    5. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 9 days ago

      He'll get his goal late on and take the clean sheet no doubt.

    6. Bobby Digital
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Barely touched the ball...

    7. Zimo
      5 years, 9 days ago

      He never looks good but ends up scoring almost always

  20. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Commentator complimented Ramsdale's distribution, only for Ramsdale to pass the ball straight to Leicester and let them almost score. Lol.

  21. The Philosopher
    5 years, 9 days ago

    As an Arsenal fan and an ESR+Vardy owner, a 4-3 Arsenal win with hattys from both of my assets would do very nicely.

    1. Gunneryank
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Couldn't have put it better myself!

  22. Ady87
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Weekly grumble about Leicester’s shocking defence and my even more shocking pick of Schmeichel. I’ve been lucky that Brighton have been conceding. Can’t wait to ship him out.

  23. have you seen cyan
    5 years, 9 days ago

    A Ramsdale pen save would be sweet

    1. have you seen cyan
      5 years, 9 days ago

      nvm jsut realised I own vardy as well lol

  24. My heart goes Salalalalah
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Anyone played Foster over Ramsdale?

    1. pundit of punts
      5 years, 9 days ago

      o/

  25. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Definitely looking at:
    Raphinha/Bissouma > Foden/ESR

    Creates benching headache, but ESR & Arsenal are looking better. Have double Brentford attack, and Jota - so I guess 8th attacker isn't a horrible idea.

  26. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 9 days ago

    I don't want Vardy anymore

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Very wise.

  27. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 9 days ago

    People got carried away and read too much into thinking it was great when Leicester beat Man Utd

  28. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Leicester finally look to have gotten out of bed

    Lucky they aren't out of the game after that opening 30 minutes

  29. jack88
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Vardy subbed off after half time. Daka time

    1. Andy_Social
      5 years, 9 days ago

      To what end? He just needs to be fed one chance.

  30. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Auba is just standing behind the defender whenever there is a chance to cross. How has he scored so many goals?

    1. Bobby Digital
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Him and Dembele were a deadly duo in Dortmund.
