Gameweek 30 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on Sunday with Leicester City v Brentford at the King Power Stadium.

Kick-off is at 14:00 GMT.

Brendan Rodgers makes four changes from the team that started at Rennes in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday.

Caglar Soyuncu, Timothy Castagne, Nampalys Mendy and James Maddison all come into the starting XI, with Wesley Fofana, Luke Thomas, Wilfred Ndidi (knee) and Marc Albrighton (groin) dropping out.

Popular Fantasy picks James Maddison and Harvey Barnes support Kelechi Iheanacho up front, while Ricardo Pereira and Patson Daka are named as substitutes.

As for Brentford, Christian Eriksen misses out having tested positive for Covid-19, with Mathias Jensen replacing him in the Bees engine room.

That’s one of Thomas Frank’s two changes, with Yoane Wissa also coming in for Sergi Canos, who drops to the bench.

Ivan Toney – who has seven goals in his last five Premier League outings – leads the line as expected.


GAMEWEEK 30 LINE-UPS

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Justin, Amartey, Soyuncu, Castagne, Mendy, Tielemans, Dewsbury-Hall, Maddison, Barnes, Iheanacho

Subs: Jakupovic, Evans, Perez, Choudhury, Pereira, Vestergaard, Daka, Thomas, Soumare

Brentford XI: Raya, Ajer, Jansson, Pinnock, Henry, Norgaard, Janelt, Jensen, Mbeumo, Wissa, Toney

Subs: Fernandez, Canos, Onyeka, Jorgensen, Baptiste, Fosu-Henry, Sorensen, Roerslev, Young-Coombes

    Surely freehitters went Barnes Maddison over the likes of Raphinha Eriksen

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      You’d of thought both was a no brainer on free hit

    2. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

  5. fplgaruda

    Maddison > Barnes
    Woohoo

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Yaaaaaay

  6. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 26 days ago

    Surely that goal will be chalked off? Super Saints owns him

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      The goal will stand, but the FPL points will be removed I would imagine.

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Plus a red card

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Super Saints is pushing the top 60k i think.

      He just moans at anything.

      My little boy says he's a sore loser!!

  7. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 26 days ago

    Why are people calling for an Amartey assist

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Because they have no idea about the assist and hope it is Amartey because they own him.

    2. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Well as a non owner of Barnes/Madison I'm looking for crumbs

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Owners know Leicester defence can’t be relied on for a CS lol

  8. fusen
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 26 days ago

    Maddison was fouled for the freekick, so no assist

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Maddison stolen assist points because of being greedy 😉

  9. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 26 days ago

    West Ham to win?

    The Wednesday /Thursday night teams showing the way.

  10. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 26 days ago

    Madison win the fk right?

    Assist AND goal. Huge for owners

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

    3. fplgaruda

    4. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Where are my 8 pts?!? I see none 🙁

  11. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 26 days ago

    That Leeds Radar has a LOT to answer for. Was the only thing stopping me from doing Raphinha to Maddison. I am RAGING.

    1. harrysponge
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Agreed - shame!

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 26 days ago

        So, so annoyed. Just knew he would score; this *always* happens...

        1. harrysponge
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 26 days ago

          Onto the next GW! still have loads to play for..

    2. fplgaruda
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Dis you give him your account detail?

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 26 days ago

        What?! I was on the verge of making the transfer, but read the links on here to his tweets that were saying that he was "*definitely* ready to play"

        1. HuttonDressedasLahm
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 26 days ago

          He definitely was “ready to play”
          He was just unable to because of covid

          1. Big_Andy_GAWA
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 26 days ago

            But what he said was he was "in the squad and absolutely fine"

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Same.

  12. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 26 days ago

    Better free kick taker:

    A. Madders

    B. JWP

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      JWP

      1. Tcheco
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 26 days ago

        Feels like he has more than one technique so probably edges it. Just

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 26 days ago

          More than edges it.

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Come on...

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      JWP by a distance

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Laurent Robert

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 26 days ago

        JWP of them two

      2. Tcheco
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 26 days ago

        Rocket launchers don’t count

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      JWP, but both are very good

    6. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      B by absolute light years

    7. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Would love to see a FK goal count. Didn’t JWP break Beckham’s record this year?

    8. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      JWP - and I'm a Foxes fan commenting just after Maddison has scored from a free kick!!

    9. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      B

      And Beckham!

  13. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 26 days ago

    I went Coutinho over Madds!

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      He had the promise of a home game.

      Most of all Aston Villa not only let themselves down and Gerrard, they let all of FPL down. 😉

      Hit and miss.

  14. dansmusen

    Barnes and Maddison on FH...finally something went right

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Well done.

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years

      Excellent

    3. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years

    Iheanacho, time to get spicy.

  17. WVA
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 26 days ago

    Toney won't score without Erikson there to lay it on a plate for him

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      You are tiresome.

      1. Kodap

        Loool

      2. WVA

      In Denmark they aren't sons like elsewhere. They are "sen"...

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Might get a rebound from a Mbeumo crossbar challenge though

  18. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 26 days ago

    Ihenacho over Maddison ....

  19. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Need a schmeichel goal now.

    1. Tcheco

      Lmao

  20. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 26 days ago

    Whats Madison’s top 10k ownership like?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Less than jimi

    2. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Enough to be a nuisance

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      13%
      Barnes 30%
      Amartey 11%
      Schmeichel 7%
      Pereira 8%
      Thomas 3%
      Nacho 4%

  21. Steve The Spud

    Did people actually get nacho on free hit? He’s been awful this season

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      What strikers would you have got on FH instead?

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 26 days ago

        Just Kane

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Nailed to start and better than Jimenez

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      He hasn't actually been awful, he's barely had a run

    4. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Fierce competition from Daka

    5. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Not his fault, Rodgers only plays him when no-one else is available and even then has played the likes of Barnes up top over him some times, he's had no chance to get any rhythm going. We saw what he could do at the end of last season

    6. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Low bar to beat Jimenez (i.e. don’t get sent off!)

  22. BIGREDDOG
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 26 days ago

    Get in there MADDY!

  23. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 26 days ago

    Any early spurs team news?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      They've all got Corona

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      No Doherty would be nice

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      One change
      Dane Scarlett in for Kane

      1. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 26 days ago

        It’s the obvious move; surprised people went Kane over Scarlett

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 26 days ago

        Big call from Conte!

      3. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 26 days ago

        Don't do this to me. Hoping for Scarlett no show - Trincao (VC) and Ayling 1st sub.

  24. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 26 days ago

    Made a wild punt selling Salah and Gordon to get Barnes and Maddison.

    Could still back fire but feels pretty good right now!!

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      It's right decision

    2. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Great move Salah obviously not playing..

      1. SouthCoastSaint
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 26 days ago

        Back fire as in next week. Gordon has double week Salah has Watford at home

    3. tokara
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Ballsy

    4. Dead Balls
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Can I ask how can it back fire - one has assisted and one has scored ??

      1. SouthCoastSaint
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 26 days ago

        Next week. Can’t judge transfers on 1 week

  25. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 26 days ago

    Söyuncu has just gone from 9 to 15 BPS .. 😮

  26. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 26 days ago

    As it stands I’ve gone from 20k to 16k on freehit but still seems like some opportunities lost.

    Barnes is first on bench and I’ve gone with form over fixtures with Toney.

    Fair play to anyone that got both Barnes and Maddison and started them both, I’d have thought there was far more interest in double Spurs mids + Saka + one of Barnes/Maddison/Raphinha and playing three strikers.

    Need big hauls from Son and Kane this evening

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      That's a decent rise in rank so far.
      It's good to go with a mix of form and fixtures, I've got Toney too

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Yeah, tbf I didn't even consider double Leicester in midfield.

      A good call that worked out.

      The punts are more random though. I think patience is a key attribute in FPL picks.

  27. WVA
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 26 days ago

    Jonny goal, Saka goal and Maddison goal on the FH so far, still not sure why I benched Tierney and played Cash though!

    1. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Nice work

    2. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Such a glass half full kinda guy ain’t ya

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 26 days ago

        Probably why I support Southampton!

        1. SouthCoastSaint
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 26 days ago

          Only playing with you! Are you local?

    3. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Because Cash played at home and has amassed like 45 points in 4 GWS?

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 26 days ago

        Yeah that was my thinking, Arsenal clean sheets have been crushing me all season!

  28. Paganoi
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 26 days ago

    Current mid is:
    Salah | Mount | Kulu | Saka | Countinho

    Coutinho out for:
    A) Diaz
    B) Havertz
    C) Foden
    D) Maddison/Barnes
    E) Other?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Havertz

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 26 days ago

        Would you rather have Mount over Coutinho too?

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 26 days ago

          Yep.

          Coutinho's fixtures aren't great in the short/medium term. Buy back in GW34 if Villa's form improves.

    2. TKC07
      • 6 Years

      D

  29. oi no professionals
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 26 days ago

    I went for Villa players over Arsenal on my FH but Maddison and Barnes are saving my bacon

    1. HashAttack
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Still hurts seeing Saka and Gabriel on my bench

    Do i watch F1 on Sky Sports, Manchester City on BBC1 or stick with Leicester City v Brentford on Navmix?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      FA Cup on BBC is clear

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 26 days ago

      Saints v City is looking like a fun game so far.

      Great intensity from the Saints.
