There’s a busy Saturday of Premier League football ahead of us, with Leicester City v Chelsea the first of eight matches.

Kick-off at the King Power Stadium is at 12:30 GMT.

Thomas Tuchel and Brendan Rodgers have both made two changes for the lunchtime game.

Daniel Amartey and Marc Albrighton are brought in to replace injured pair Youri Tielemans and Ricardo Pereira, which could mean that the Foxes are turning to a wing-back system – as Rodgers has done in the past when facing the Blues.

Jamie Vardy, the most-owned Fantasy Premier League (FPL) player in this fixture, starts.

Mason Mount is back in the Chelsea starting XI after his recent teething problems, while Trevoh Chalobah starts as the right-sided centre-half.

Ross Barkley and Andreas Christensen are the men to make way from the 1-1 draw with Burnley, while there is a fourth successive league benching for Cesar Azpilicueta.

The fit-again Timo Werner is also among the substitutes.

All of that means that there are further starts for Reece James and Ben Chilwell, with the former now the most-owned Chelsea asset in FPL overall (24.2%) and within the top 10,000 (60.1%).

The ownership figures of Vardy and Antonio Rudiger have taken a bit of a tumble in the top 10k (see below), which is often a better gauge of active Fantasy managers than the ‘selected by’ numbers we see on the FPL site.

Vardy and Rudiger had top 10k ownership figures of 52.7% and 35.0% in Gameweek 11.

GAMEWEEK 12 LINE-UPS

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Amartey, Evans, Soyuncu, Albrighton, Ndidi, Soumare, Castagne, Lookman, Vardy, Barnes.

Subs: Ward, Bertrand, Vestergaard, Dewsbury-Hall, Choudhury, Maddison, Perez, Iheanacho, Daka.

Chelsea XI: Mendy, Chalobah, Thiago Silva, Rudiger, James, Kante, Jorginho, Chilwell, Mount, Hudson-Odoi, Havertz.

Subs: Arrizabalaga, Alonso, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Loftus-Cheek, Barkley, Ziyech, Pulisic, Werner.

        Yes cheap assist. Looks like they didn't expect Kante to shoot lol.

    Reece's turn to assist

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Not owning either of Chilly/James looking like a disaster right now. Need to get one next week.

  9. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Triple D essential!

    1. Andriy Shevchenko is Back
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Excuse me?

  10. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Kante didn't even want to shoot

    Leicester forced him by giving him that much space

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Would be harsh on schoolboys to label that defending as such...

  11. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Where the Vardy points at?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Next few weeks. Forget this game.

  12. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    No Chelsea defence killing me…

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Chilly and James are the Chelsea attack.

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Pretty essential at this point

  13. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Kante goal James assist

  14. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I know it’s an FPL assist but in real world terms is that classed as an assist or not?

  15. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    YESSSS JAMESSSSSA

  16. JJO
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Just once in this last 2 seasons would be ok for me

  17. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

  18. F4L
    • 11 Years

  19. JBG
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

  24. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

  25. pstokes2010
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Wildcarded before last gameweek to Rudiger TAA Chilwell James and Cancelo. Defenders have got me back into the mix big time!

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      1. pstokes2010
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

  26. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Everyone to get treble Chelsea defence now means no clean sheets for anyone in the near future 😆

  27. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Did Toney->Wilson instead of Vardy->Wilson. Can see this week going the classic FPL route for me.

    1. Assisting the assister
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Toney Wilson - legend of the 80s Manchester music scene

  28. LE CHARO
    • 6 Years

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

    2. Babit1967
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

    3. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      1. Hughes Your Daddy
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yep, already had James and thought I was mad getting Chilwell in today - but yeah both season keepers right now.
