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.

    Bye bye to Maddison and a place in the England team.

    deliberate YC wankery. He wasn't keen on the midweek game and frees him for the rest of the year

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He is going to have a free six weeks soon

    2. Gubby-Allen

      Jesus will accidentally get a YC soon too.

    Madds don't own himself in fpl.

    Wild card it is.

    Annoying that Zaha blanked and Maddison booked, but I'm happy with Ward's 6 pts and Guehi's 7.
    One of those "players playing against each other" good outcomes.
    I never expected 0-0

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I have all four of those in my squad. You can guess which two I benched

    Why does this always happen. The week there is a blank leaving you already short of players just has to coincide with being further players down through suspensions/injuries! It just seems to happen so often.

        I'd offer you a box of tissues but I've also laced said tissues with lsd.

        1. The Mentaculus
          • 4 Years

          Oh I'll take one please

    2. BeaversWithAttitude

      And Gareth sitting in the stands. For God's sake!

      Maddison owners not happy bunnies.

      lol

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Am I the only Maddi owner who finds it funny?

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

          I am ok with it. Had a Palace and Leicester defender each so that was good.

    4. Mirror Man
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I regret putting lsd in the punch bowl. People seem to be having negative experiences right now.

        The luck element coming into play for non Maddison owners

        1. Fitzy.
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Nothing unlucky about his booking

        2. FPL_trail_runner
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          He did the business with his 20 odd points a few weeks ago

          His yellow options up some interesting options the next few weeks

      • Unliklinho
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Guaita's late save heroics offset by Maddison's simulation tomfoolery...

      • My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        7 from 3 mids, only Marti to go

        At one time I had a nice plan to field 11 players for GW 12. Now I see a team with 5 Arsenal and Man City Players. Had to use a transfer last week to get rid of Diaz. Own Reece James and Maddison, I’m tempted to free hit.

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

          Dont. Just bite your tongue next week. FH likely to gain you much more later when the dgw's come.

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

        Advantage GW12 WCers....

      • Lingard’s Shin Guards
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Have haaland, kdb, cancelo, maddison, patterson, martinelli out for gw 12

        FH?

        1. Ten Hag of Bud
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Don't do it. Take the hits and move on. Last week I had five flags and five no GW12. I took a minus eight. I may need another one this week too. Your free hit is worth more than 16 points and your situation is better than mine was.

      • BeaversWithAttitude
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I played Ward over Guaita, due to having Maddison. What a let down.

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

          What difference of points is that?

          You got a clean sheet, there wont be many of those this weekend.

        2. BeaversWithAttitude
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Ah, I see Ward is up for 2 bonus points, great! So a three-point difference between the keepers instead of 5. Ward wasn't in the bonuses all match since there were so few attempts on net.

      • Gubby-Allen
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I hope that the poster yesterday who asked whether to play Pope or Ward in goal this GW and was roundly jibbed for even asking the question, took my advice and not every other reply....

        .... Awaits a Pope clean sheet and three penalty saves.

      • Firminooooo
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thank God Neco is starting. Can use FT on Maddison.

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

          Not sure, Aurier might still start the next one - presser seemed to suggest he’s being eased in

          "Serge has only trained with us for a couple of weeks because he was away on the international break and it was important for him to get some good minutes and training sessions with Ivory Coast.

          "He's trained well since he's been back with us and gave him 45 minutes against Leicester. It was another positive for him to get more match minutes under his belt because he didn't have a pre-season.

          "We then started him against Villa and trusted in his experience and ability and that proved to be a positive in the game. He's working his way up to playing a full 90 minutes and it was a good step forward for him because he's been impressive on and off the pitch.

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

            Have to wait on clarity. Even with minutes managed its a bit odd to not have him in the squad at all.

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

              Ah didn’t realise he wasn’t in the squad

          2. maglia rosa
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            This I fear is the truth…..I guess it’s gonna be a 1 pointer either way with Nico.

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

        Maddison why?!

      • FPL_trail_runner
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        This is turning into one of those weeks.

        Ward Neco and Mitrovic benched ... i can see where this is going already

        On the bright side i may do some fun in week 12 now....

        Maddison + Haaland to Salah (c) + Darwin for 2 weeks is tempting

      • Kodap
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Think that means I’ll be on FH next week, down to 8!

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

          Will those 3 additional players get you more points that usin FH later on DGW?

      • Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Forget about Maddison (C) v NFO GW12 ...

          GW13 wildcarders switching to GW12?

          1. Alan The Llama
            • 16 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Nope, I'll want 6 Arsenal/City for gw13

            1. g40steve
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              This, just take few hits for 12 & WC into 13

          2. Mr. O'Connell
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            It's team dependent, but I've seen people with 7 starters sticking to the GW13 plan when they could just play it this week. Madness imo.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Nah - Going take a -4 to get Maddison and James out for Guehi an Salah I think - got 3 mil in the bank

        8. Firminooooo
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          2 points….7 points on the bench. Great start.

        9. Gubby-Allen
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Justified my decision of Ward over Sanchez this GW.

          I have the exact same issue for the next one.

        10. Sterling Archer
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Gw12 is looking from for me, would need a -16 to field 11!
