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.

      He’s pissed that he’s getting roughed up and desperately wants to score vs former team

      Anyone with that triple Chelsea defence is on 36 points with 3 players. Anyone cap a CHE defender?

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Beautiful start for some! https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/621081/event/12/

  8. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Thoughts on dias to Chilwell?

    Already own reece and cancelo

    Dias seems like such a solid Xmas pick....but hard to ignore Chelsea double up.

    Keep dias, or ditch for chilwell? Thanks

    1. jack88
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Dias is boring but city have amazing fixtures ahead

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Precisely

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

    This was the perfect week to get rid of Havertz.

    1. gellinmagellan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I did yay!!

  11. jack88

    4 years, 4 months ago

    Football has changed.. Forwards came back to defence, tracking back. Defenders Are getting forward.

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

      For sure. And the convergence of positions lends itself to a back heavy team in FPL.

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

    That was a sexy touch from Chillwell few mins ago

  13. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Chilwell is running his xGI up here

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

    Mounts luck vs Norwich really was incredible.

    Massive trap that caught a big haul!

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

      Yeah. I think ESR is the same. Good returns, but he's been a tad fortunate with them.

  15. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Havertz cs banked!

  16. jason_ni
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Mount.. get out of my team!!!

  17. Moose™
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Too late for Reece James now?

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

      Late? Hell nah. Buy him

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Or week after. MU next.

        1. jack88
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          He will haul against utd

        2. DycheDycheBaby
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Have you been watching Man United this season? 😀

    2. gellinmagellan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I'm without any Chelsea defence and it's nightmarish!

  18. AIRMILES
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Currently on 36 points from my three Chelsea defenders. Please let nothing else happen this match! This is not a level of luck I've previously experienced.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Well done!

      1. AIRMILES
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks mate. Not quite at your nosebleed heights, mind!

  19. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    What a shot Ndidi

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      indeedy

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

      😳

      Amartey

  20. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Had a -1% rank change on 59 mins. Now -70% - EO can be painful!

  21. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Until Lukaku is back and firing in the goals there is no go to option in the Chelsea attack

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      What u talking about? Chilwell James are the attack

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Both have 50% GI

    2. DaniCT
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yup.. If only I knew this 3 GW ago.

  22. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Gtfo of my team Havertz!

  23. DaniCT
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    HRAVETZ GET OUT OF MY F#£&@8!G TEAM!

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Is he on pitch?

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

    Vardy massive miss.

    1. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy is awful since I got him about in

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Huge.

      He got under it somehow.

      Good cross Maddisson.

    3. 272MK
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Played Foden Mbeumo Hwang Antonio ahead of Vardy. Hopefully I get it right

    After the heartbreak of a triple CS loss last week am really trying not to mentally bank the Chelsea clean sheet points.

    1. AIRMILES
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Same boat.

    2. 272MK
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      James and Chilwell are 2 of those? Never a fan of triple def. I can manage double defense heartbreak. Not 3. Haha

    3. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Best to not watch the games where u own that many defenders

  26. Del Griffith
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Solid 3 points from Havertz

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

      More than he deserved!

  27. Collie01

  28. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Can anyone explain James being top of the bps?

    His assist was a side pass half way up the pitch.

    Flawed system going in favour of the James owners.

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

      You get BPS for things other than G/As...

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Creating more chances I assume. It is not a question of where the assist is. But that he created it. Same rules for every player.

    3. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Life is flawed. Try adapting instead of complaining.

  29. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Bit torn in this game have Vardy - James - Rudiger. I feel guilty wanting Vardy to miss.

  30. jack88
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Havertz 20 points from last 4. Decent but you got to leave now.
