A quieter-than-usual Saturday features only four Premier League matches, the first of which is Leicester City v Crystal Palace.

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

There’s one change apiece for the two sides involved, with injury forcing Brendan Rodgers’ hand.

Daniel Amartey comes in at centre-half to replace Jonny Evans, who misses out with a calf strain.

Patson Daka leads the line again, with Jamie Vardy only among the substitutes.

Patrick Vieira’s only change from the victory over Leeds United sees Tyrick Mitchell come in at left-back, Jeffrey Schlupp move to midfield and Michael Olise drop to the bench.

James Maddison and Wilfried Zaha were both among the 10 most-bought midfielders of Gameweek 11, attracting over 530,000 transfers in between them.

Their Fantasy Premier League (FPL) ownerships are both now around the 20% mark as a result.

The pair have contrasting records against today’s opponents: Maddison has never scored against Palace, while Zaha has seven goals in his last nine appearances against the Foxes.

A reminder that a booking for Maddison today would see him miss Gameweek 12 through suspension, as it would be his fifth caution of the season.


GAMEWEEK 11 LINE-UPS

Leicester City XI: Ward, Justin, Faes, Amartey, Castagne, Dewsbury-Hall, Tielemans, Soumare, Barnes, Maddison, Daka.

Subs: Iversen, Soyuncu, Thomas, Mendy, Albrighton, Praet, Perez, Iheanacho, Vardy.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Doucoure, Eze, Schlupp, Zaha, Edouard, Ayew.

Subs: Johnstone, Balmer, Tomkins, Milivojevic, Riedewald, Ebiowei, Olise, Gordon, Mateta.

    expected plenty of goals since it was shite vs shite

      Leicester at least tried to play football, palace were abysmal

      Palace such a hit and miss team
      Benched Ward as I genuinely thought they would easily score

      Yeah, was a really poor match. No energy, no confidence or desire.

    Maddison you melon! Spannnerrr!

        So he's a fruit wrench... interesting.

        I was gonna call him a doughnut!

      FPL Twitter going crazy, so many started Andreas over Mitrovic.

        Mitro has less EO than Toney this week, not as huge a deal as it's made to be.

        Obviously would rather have the Mitro mins though! Just glad he should be fit for GW12 really.

          Could well end up being my captain tbh 😛

            • 8 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            I know right? I had it on Maddison in my bus team. That deffo needs changing now 😆

              Brutal Hazz 😆 does make a move for Trossard likely for me I guess with Madds brain fart in the dying mins. 😉

                Likewise, although I was perhaps punting on Trossard for KDB anyway.

                Luckily I saved 2 FT for this exact scenario. Have 10 with a fixture - only Maddison & KDB to ship.

                Would be beneficial to hear Aurier missing out due to a knock given Neco is in my team...

                  Been chasing my tail for the last few weeks with injuries and hence no chance of the 2 free for next week. Well played bud, I don’t do jealousy but fair to say I’m slightly envious of anyone with 2 free for next week.

        Tbf the algos did say to start Andreas and 50% of them follow the algos. The other 50% follow the people who follow the algos.

        Twa**er by name Twa**er by nature 😆

      4. Konstaapeli
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Was the correct choice given the information at the time. Him starting looked a long shot.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Must be an algo thing - FPLReview kept suggesting bringing Dunk in and Andreas having more xMins than Mitro, hence the likes of: https://twitter.com/FPL_Salah/status/1580971809456783361?s=20&t=U-4X2-9O8d5CKREEuYMb7A

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Ah speaking of those who follow algos

        2. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I don't follow any of them or an algo and started Pereira and benched Mitro. And I would do the same thing again presented with the info we got.

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah I don't think this one is really on "the algo".

            Silva was coming up with some very pessimistic wording so only natural assume he'd miss out again. Andreas getting a return last week has obviously influenced some decisions (including my own).

            RE: Dunk over CRY/LEI defenders.. Well yes obviously. I don't think many saw this as a 0-0. Just chance really. When you take into account GW12 a BHA defender an okay enough punt. Could go the other way next GW.

            1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              That's a good point; benching Andreas points last week definitely impacted my decision.

        3. maglia rosa
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Yup I commented on the algo / stats guys picking Dunk after watching inspected Goals pre deadline.

    3. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Why was Estupinan subbed last night? Just got him for James, and then this.

    4. FantasyClub
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      The Maddison ride is over. I don’t expect anything against that WOL defence then MCI after that. That haul against NOR will do me.

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I was planning on selling him in GW13 anyway and so him > Trossard gets done in GW12 instead.

        1. FantasyClub
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Sounds like a good plan except I already have Trossard so I gotta figure it out too

          1. Jet5605
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Get Bowen if you don't already have him

            1. FantasyClub
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              I’ll watch him this GW then decide. Good shout though thanks

    5. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Thank you Guaita for those lovely 11 points

      1. Utopsis
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Beautiful

    6. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      KDB, Cancelo & Maddison have least value to sell & they will probably drop to buy back at sell price 🙂

    7. Alcapaul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Can't wait to sell Zaha for Saka in GW13. Forgot how much it sucks owning him.

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This is the third time I have bought Zaha ahead of a nice fixture run and he fails to deliver every time. He's a classic FPL troll.

        1. Alcapaul
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          He really is. Happens everytime

      2. Vinyl78LP
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Had him at least once every season for last 7/8 seasons (inc now) and disappoints every single time.

    8. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I guess Maddison suspension means Trossard will be popular next GW

    9. FantasyClub
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I started Andreas over Toney hoping he blanks coz I had Sanchez as GK. Wow did that back fire 🙁 Andreas better haul.

    10. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      And that's how one Mr. Antony sneaked into my team. Welcome, lad

      1. FantasyClub
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah might be Antony in for Maddison

    11. SomeoneKnows
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Best Maddison replacement just for GW12 that's worth a -4 hit?

      1. Alcapaul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe Trossard. If you can get out 10 though i'd probably just wait and sell him for Foden or Saka in GW13

    12. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Two weeks ago i was thinking that I would let my wildcard go, or just use it on the week before the WC as a free hit.

      Then Mitrovic and Diaz got injured, Trent was losing value and I had three Arsenal and Man City players, so used it last week.

      Now I have six players.
      Ward
      Anderson, Perisic
      Zaha, Trossard,
      Wilson

      James injured, Maddison suspended, don't know who 'Zanka' is and five more Arsenal/City - who I was intending to get down to three.

        that is a terrible run of events,unlucky indeed.

    13. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      The success of my gameweek pretty much rests on Spurs. *visible concern*

    14. AARON-1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm holding Maddison.
      Thinking of James to Bella-Kotchap (Bournemouth away) so I can field XI and have 2 million in the bank.
      Exciting times.

      1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Holding for what though? Wolves away and Man City? I think it's time to cut and run, those points v Forest made it all worthwhile still.

    15. Ghost86
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Who’s the best midfield to get for a 1 week punt for Maddison?

      Already own Salah

    16. Bluetiger1

      Son
