Gameweek 12 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) reaches its conclusion tonight, with Fulham v Aston Villa getting us underway at 19:30 BST. Leicester City v Leeds United follows at 20:15 BST.

During the second half of the match at the King Power Stadium, Andy and Mark will be live over on our YouTube channel for their weekly Members’ video – and you can watch it via the embedded video below:

As for the team news, Fulham boss Marco Silva makes just one change from the side that drew 2-2 with Bournemouth in Gameweek 11, as Willian replaces Daniel James.

That means Andreas Pereira and Aleksandar Mitrovic start, with their FPL ownerships sitting at 25.2% and 24.8% respectively.

Steven Gerrard also makes one alteration for the visitors, with Jan Bednarek handed a full debut. Matty Cash is the player who drops to the bench, with Ezri Konsa potentially filling the vacated right-back role.

Philippe Coutinho and Emiliano Buendia are substitutes for the second week in a row.

In the later kick-off, Brendan Rodgers makes two changes to the side that drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace in Gameweek 11.

Dennis Praet comes in for the suspended James Maddison, while Jamie Vardy is preferred to Patson Daka.

As for Leeds, Patrick Bamford starts after coming off the bench at half-time against Arsenal. Diego Llorente, Junior Firpo and Crysencio Summerville also make the XI, with Jack Harrison and Rodrigo among those who drop to the bench.

Pascal Struijk was carrying a knock and misses out.

          You might be right. I myself consider going Perisic to Cresswell for -4. Otherwise my defence would be:

          Dalot(che) Trippier(tot) Cancelo

          With Perisic and Doherty on the bench. Guess i have to wait for Conte press and Paul O'keefe info.

        Cheers bud. I mean…….I known it’s nothing at this stage, but the gap keeps getting bigger by just a few points each GW, I’m sure it’ll pull in closer soon, I hope to be in top 10 of main ML come the WC break

    Hey guys,

    Quick feedback (I can only choose one)
    Foden or Cancelo for this GW?

    Trying to figure out what's best:
    Foden - considering the history, more risk of leaving the game at 50/60 min with CL on Tuesday…
    Cancelo - Brighton is in good shape and can score a goal, especially in the 2nd half with the game already won by City

    Cheers!

          Trippier purely due to set pieces and good BPS from creating chances. Chelsea still conceding a lot chances and I think Kepa has been a bit lucky. Tough game against united next

          So basically 2 no. two week free hits? I wouldn’t take a hit on that- team looks fine. I think Nunes is the play this week but who knows, there’s no sure things except Haaland and Trippier

            Yeah kinda. Might load up on Man Utd. Get rid of Cucurella, Gomez, Mitrovic, Mount, Odegaard and whichever other Arsenal player I'll have next week and 1-3 others. Lots of changes x2 weeks is a bigger impact than WC now

              Sorry I didn’t reply - lost internet in rural Ireland. I love that, after all the whining about template teams early in the season, that there are so many options now. WCs have been going out of date after a week with constant changing of the guards. Teams such as Man Utd are going under the radar and even Leicester look like a good bet as Brighton and Leeds struggle to string a couple of results together.

              Good luck with your strategy.

    What Areta said is the right way

    "You want to be at the top, you have to be able to do that. And if we start to put something different in the mind of a young player, I think we are making a huge mistake because then [he would] be like 'no, I don't play now, on astroturf I don't play'.

    FPL few yrs ago and FPL now is totally different where we have to worry about players getting rests

    I know it's early, but I'd be interested to know people's thoughts on next week's transfer before it's changed by results. For one week only, choose one to sell and one to buy:

    Sell:
    A) Mount (bha)
    B) Zaha (SOU)
    C) Iversen (MCI)*
    *Incoming player would replace Ward in XI

      No takers for Upgrading Ward vs MCI so far. I thought that was maybe the closest to the no-brainer decision. I will consider it if Mount and Zaha look very busy, otherwise default to bringing in an Arsenal mid most probably. Thanks all
