After the drama of the 3pm kick-offs, Everton v Leicester City rounds off the day’s Premier League action.

The match at Goodison Park gets underway at 5.30pm GMT.

Frank Lampard makes one change to the Everton team that drew at Fulham: Dwight McNeil starts in place of the underperforming Anthony Gordon, who drops to the bench.

Budget defender Nathan Patterson is among the substitutes again, having got minutes off the bench in his comeback game last weekend.

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers make two changes to the side that lost 1-0 to Manchester City in their last game.

Jamie Vardy is replaced by Patson Daka in attack, while Boubakary Soumare comes in for Caglar Soyuncu as Rodgers reverts to a back four.

    Any news about Mitro? Should we sell?

    How many games is Cancelo banned for

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Hot topic! One sir ... can play GW16

      1. Lord.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        If Pep lets him.

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Only one.

    3. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      None in fpl

  3. Ze_Austin

    3 years, 5 months ago

    Forgot to count previous posts on last page, so here we go again:

    Guaita
    Cancelo Saliba Trippier
    Trossard Salah Saka Foden Almiron
    (C)Haaland Wilson

    Ward Mitro Estu Guehi

    GW16 FT: Foden to Rashford, Martinelli or Kulusevski (if fit)?

    Biased towards Kulu vs Leeds, but I have to be sure he's fit. Rashford's stats are great, while Martinelli is quite reliable. All opposing defences are bad atm

    Who's your preference, if I may ask?

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Martinelli

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Do you count posts on a page?

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Just a quick check that there aren't already 25+ comments before posting, yes

    3. Donnie Darko
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      The way this season is going stay strong & keep Foden as he will likely start and get points

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        That's what I thought for this GW, and got Pep'd once more. I feel there are too many good options available in GW16 to dive in with that hope again. No other obvious spot in my team to improve

  4. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Come on madds

  5. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Ward/Iverson double up is back on?

    1. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kepa + Ward looks better after the break.

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Can Mendy be a threat

        1. banskt
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Could be a threat. But, Kepa looking like the first option at Chelsea.

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      If Kepa fit, having him and Ward is good as CHE have BOU, NFO when Leicester have NEW, LIV in GW17-18

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'm going DDG + Ward

      I like Man U's defence with Casemiro around

    4. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'm going for this on my WC WC although Justin looks like a great option too

    5. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Had it since GW1 and not looked back!

  6. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Maddy should have had a hattie by now

  7. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Foden still in my team and not sure what Pep will do with him. I really want to switch him to KDB for GW16, but it needs -4 to downgrade someone.

    Pope - Ward
    Cancelo - Trippier - White - Guehi - Neco
    Salah - Foden - Trossard - Marti - Andreas
    Haaland - Wilson - Mitrovic

    What downgrade would you consider?

    A: Wilson (CHE) > Edouard (nfo)
    B: Mitro (MUN) > 4.9 fwd bench
    C: Trossard (AVL) > 5.0 mid, e.g. March, Tavernier
    D: Not worth -4. Keep Foden and get KDB after GW16

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      E: One of my options above, maybe? Good fixtures without a hit

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Foden will start against Brentford imo

        1. NATSTER
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          They are facing Chelsea in EFL Cup. I'm afraid Pep will start him in the cup again. 🙁

        2. WVA
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah he always starts

        3. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I'll accept my L in that case

          But yeah, three benchings in a row and I'm out. Feels like the experience of holding Mahrez

      2. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Not sure about Kulu until we see him fit and start again.

        Rashford is pretty interesting, but I might need to him more.

        Another option for me, especially, if Mitrovic out for long.

        Mitrovic > Darwin (SOU)

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Did we have news on Mitro?

          1. Ze_Austin
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            https://twitter.com/BenDinnery/status/1588903647345508357?s=20&t=m8CIs2mx8vg95PRZS5fjEA

            Silva on Mitrovic. 'As you know, Mitro had a problem in the last game [for his] national team in his ankle. So, we are managing him, trying to recover as quickly as we can. After the last game, he felt a little bit of pain again; he's not in a condition to be with us.

            1. WVA
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Thanks mate didn't know this

        2. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I feel you can get away with one FT and Guehi starting, with Mitro Andreas Neco benched

          But yeah, Darwin could be gold

    2. sj8070
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      WHATEVER. IT. TAKES!!!
      Foden must go, he is the ultimate troll...

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why would you sell Trossard?

      What happened to Mitrovic?

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I just need fund to upgrade Foden to KDB.

        Mitrovic still not well from his injury and tough fixture. That's why I'm also considering him out too.

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          B then, Trossard looks great, should have scored today and got assist

  8. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Maddison wants Christmas off.

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      And then a new club after the turn of the year.

  9. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    After salvaging my week so far (K(d)B + Haaland + Cancelo) at the death, would it be too much to ask for Barnes, Ward and Tarkowski to finish 0-0?

    1. sj8070
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Apparently so

  10. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    DCL so bad

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Ha i tried to warn everyone

  11. Snoop Udogie Dogg
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Will prices freeze staight after the next deadline?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Probably yes

    2. sj8070
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      That is a VERY good question.

  12. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Good they I sold Gordon then

  13. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    How to get Haaland back here? 1.9 ITB 1FT

    Ward (Raya)
    Cancelo Trippier Webster (Guehi Neco)
    Salah KDB Saka Martinelli Zaha
    Alvarez Solanke (Mitrovic)

    A. Mitro Cancelo > Haaland 3.9 (-4)
    B. Salah Alvarez > Rashford/Trossard/Maddison Halaand (-4)
    C. KDB Alvarez > Bilva Haaland (-4)
    D. No Haaland required, use 1FT for something else

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Prefer B - triple City at home against Brentford. Plus Alvarez minutes a doubt.

          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Who did you have? I counted the Haaland bps so for me its Cancelo -4, Foden 1, Haaland 5

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

  16. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    How are you looking mid GW ?

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      29 if Ward keeps a cleanie

    2. POGON 1948
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Sitting on 2 points at the moment

      GW Rank 10,317,462

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Wow but surely you have players tomorrow

        1. POGON 1948
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yep 7 to go and Iwobi in action right now, but can't say feeling too hopeful after getting 2 pts net from 3 City: (C)ancelo, Haaland + Foden

    3. Salarrivederci
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Hard to tell since my (C) is on Salah, but feeling alright with 18 from Pickford, Cancelo, Trossard, Haaland & Alvarez with Trippier, Dalot, Salah(C), Martinelli, Zaha & Kane to go.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Salah can do wonders still early for you to judge imo

    4. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      15 all out

    5. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      5 players to play tomorrow: Pope, Trippier, Salah, Saka, Martinelli.

      37 points so far. Could be a big green arrow if Almiron, Ward, Jesus, Kane and Wilson keeps quiet.

    Nice goal Tielemans

  19. Vinyl78LP

    Pick that one out.

  20. Rainer

    Disgusting!

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years

      Pickford owner ?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years

        No, as in so good disgusting.

  21. RICICLE

    WHAT A GOAL!

  22. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years

    Tielemans and Neves are reincarnated archers, ffs

  23. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years

    Tielemans screeeaaaameeerr!

  24. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Tielemans is so good at those long range strikes just outside the box

  25. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    We shouldn’t have sold Maddison after all

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not like anyone planned to originally.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Sold for Almiron myself so that one went well . Should’ve sold Zaha instead

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He was absent in a blank gameweek. Couldn't bench. I had to sell.

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why would you sell Mad? So good when he plays

  26. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Found this leaked city team stuff really stressful last week and this

    Waiting for the leak and then the site crashing

    Really taken away from my enjoyment of the game

    Totally understandable that engaged managed wait for a leak before making their moves. And not sure can blame fpl for crashing under the deluge as there is an obvious risk with last minute moves

    At least next week should he clear that Haaland starts v brentford

    But today been a bit of a downer despite me only being 4 points down from not being able to get rhe armband on kdb

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not sure can blame FPL for crashing? The site shouldn't crash, you should be able to make changes to your team until deadline, simple.

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I can blame FPL for crashing. Very unprofessional. We are in 2022: Handling 10m users is not rocket science.

    3. OLEgend
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I lost 20points, brought in Alvarez to captain him, couldn't even move him from the bench and captaincy was on Cancelo. That Halaand goal was final nail and all....

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        It's a free game and a free site

        If you wait for the leaked team you know the risk

        It's catch 22

        1. Gentle_Turks
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Sorry, but that's just lazy. Yes it's a free game but they should ensure that the game is playable for everyone. Once is bad enough, but two weeks in a row is pretty unforgivable.

        2. WVA
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          It's nothing to do with the leaked team, people log on to make changes at that time regardless due to many reasons, they should be able to make those changes.

        3. banskt
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Its a user engagement platform for one of the highest earning sporting events.

          Poor advertisement for the PL.

          1. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            In principle this is what it should be. In reality it's a money making machine who couldn't give a monkeys so long as they achieve maximum engagement

      2. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        That's extremely harsh mate

    4. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Thankfully I only play this game for fun and my engagement is minimal as my weekends are too valuable to spend too much time over a virtual online game. I enjoy the discussion about it though

  27. Not again Shirley
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    In fairness, if the website had not gone offline just before transfer deadline I would have transferred out Maddy for Bilva.

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      The crash saved a fair few of us.

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Admire your honesty.
      Very refreshing as opposed to the regular bad luck tales of a good number on here who retrospectively claim that they were bringing in a big GW point scorer but changed their mind at the last minute The "I was gonna" syndrome

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I did Foden to Trossard for a hit and tried to change the captain from Haaland to Salah but neither worked, who knows if i'll be better off or not.

  28. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    The way this GW is going, you just know starting Guaita ahead of Ward will turn out to be a huge mistake.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Owning Guiata in the first place is a huge mistake

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, off he's going in the WC

  29. circusmonkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    With the extra transfer that I didn't think I'd have:

    Pope to Guaita
    Mitro to Jesus.

    Jesus is 55% owned at my rank tier.

      Lol look above. If Mitro out makes your decision easier, don't really rate Jesus as a great FPL option though.

        Yes I saw that, what the deal with him?
        I know Palace aren't amazing but he's got Forest and he enables getting Jesus against Wolves who won't have their new manager.

          Palace defense is awful

    Since I bought Justin in GW9:
    GW9 - 6pts
    GW10 - 1pt
    GW11 - 6pts
    GW12 - 7pts
    GW13 - 6pts
    GW14 - benched
    GW15 - ????

    My best signing of the season at 4.3m, bargain

      Nice one! He's a very good FPL asset again.

      Well done. Small wins like this make me happy. Mine is Struijk: Bench player, but delivered points whenever I needed him to play (like today for example).
