2pm team news: Richarlison starts, Maddison and White miss out

Double Gameweek 36 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on Sunday with Arsenal v Leeds United, Leicester City v Everton and Norwich City v West Ham United.

All three fixtures kick-off at 14:00 BST, with Manchester City v Newcastle United to follow later on.

The big FPL team news arrives at the King Power Stadium, where James Maddison is absent from the matchday squad.

Brendan Rodgers, meanwhile, freshens up his side following Thursday’s exit to Roma in the Europa Conference League semi-finals, with only five players – Kasper Schmeichel, Jonny Evans, Wesley Fofana, Youri Tielemans and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – retaining their places.

Everton name an unchanged XI following their 1-0 win over Chelsea in Gameweeek 35. That means Richarlison is fit to start despite suffering from some soreness in his ankle.

At the Emirates, Mikel Arteta makes just the one change, with Cedric Soares coming in at left-back in place of Nuno Tavares, who drops to the bench. That means Ben White misses out once again because of a tight hamstring.

For the visitors, Diego Llorente returns at centre-back in place of Pascal Struijk. That’s one of three changes, with Daniel James and Joe Gelhardt also in for the injured Stuart Dallas and Rodrigo.

Norwich’s only alteration sees Jacob Sorensen replace Mathias Normann.

As for West Ham, they have made two changes from their Europa League defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt, with Lukasz Fabianski and Said Benrahma coming in for Alphonse Areola and Tomas Soucek.

        …but also promised game time so he doesn’t leave

    Only Krul and Pukki in the 2pms today. Think I'll just watch the WSL trophy presentation instead.

      And there goes Kruls points

    Triple capping Salah over Nketiah my worst decision of the season

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Rookie mistake

  5. Top Lad Dakes.

    Ffs… got Richa over Nketiah but I did forget to confirm BB so he would’ve been on the bench anyway :lol;

    WALKING IN A NKETIAH WONDERLAND

  9. Wolfman180

    Got in Luiz Diaz and Nketiah in for a hit. Made up a move finally seemingly paying off

  10. Forgetmeknot
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    I fear the nketiah vs richarlison duel maybe the new son vs Kane.

  11. Big_Andy_GAWA

    This has cost me massively. I just KNEW he would produce, yet opted to keep Weghorst. This has killed me. Gonna end up costing me hundreds and hundreds of pounds. Absolutely devastated.

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years

      Lol step away from the pc mate

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA

        phone**

        (Am talking about Nketiah...)

    Eddie mega haul incoming!

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      If he keeps up this pace, he's on for 18 goals today

  13. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Nketiah haters, doubters and nonbelievers show yourselves.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Random Name mudded.

      1. Arteta
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        He also changed grav recently and doesn't defend Lacazette anymore I think. Man finally came to his senses.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Think that was your namesake for nearly the entirety of the season

      1. Arteta
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Oops haha 😀

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years

    Imagine lukaku v this defence

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Oh crap yeah, maybe Eddie won't catch after all!

  15. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Nketiah only needs 3 more to match Lukaku's season tally.

  16. how now brown cow

    Come on leeds you useless pile

  17. Deulofail

    Arsenal level on GD with Spurs after this game

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Rather large match Thursday

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Think its irrelevant. Arsenal will win other 2 anyway.

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          That's a lot of faith you have there cowboy

          1. how now brown cow
            • 9 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            Where do you think they'll slip up?

  18. Differentiator
    • 8 Years

    Xhaka red card required

  19. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    In GW19 I was at about 364k...now around 7.5k
    1st half of the season was bad...2nd half lovely!

  20. COLLIN QUANER

    Season ending red arrows for Eddie non-owners.

    1. _Gunner
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Yes
      Season ended for me. Had him on my FH all week, decided before the deadline to go with Matip in a 5-4-1 instead of Nketiah in a 4-4-2

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Yeah -71% red arrow for me
      I always seem to end FPL badly, will drop out of top 10k

  21. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Bowen continues to tick along.

  22. tjostolv
    • 11 Years

    Why is maddison out? He is a constant curse in my team

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Dodgy hip. I had a chance to sell him for Saka. I didn't. Got Eddie, mind, so it's not all bad.

  23. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Useless Nketiah!

  24. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    My third week with Eddie. I’m due this haul

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      He's averaging a goal every 10 mins in my team, hope he keeps it up.

  25. mixology
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Wow, Nketiah is that much of a rank killer!

    Mind boggling. On FH myself, but didn't make my starting XI.

    There are so many ways to get red arrows it's a joke sometimes 🙂

    1. tokara

      Laca threat they say

      1. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Yes Laca seemed to be enjoying training in the pics. Thought he might get a turn

  26. Ady87
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Why did I go Maddy over a second City mid. I must be mental.

    1. Ajaxeeding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Ha! Same boat here!

  27. Ajaxeeding
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    My “smart” move for Maddison in GW 32 has gotten me absolutely nothing. I was going to bite the bullet and sell this week, but through that he must play now. Nope!

  28. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Well that Nketiah brace is a nice surprise to see!

  29. Layifioren
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Madisson Madisson Madisson... I had Bowen two weeks ago but I decided to switch to Madisson because of the doubles though I wanted to keep Bowen. That's has cost me two weeks in a row.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      FPL is just a series of 50:50 decisions that we get wrong time after time. Very little pleasure in it.

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Oh man, that’s bad luck. When good thoughts go wrong. Alonso brace in the second match!

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        If he even plays

    3. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years

      Ouch
