Emotional afternoon ahead as Leicester travel to Cardiff City

The attention of the football world will be on the Cardiff City Stadium this afternoon as Leicester City play their first match since the tragic passing of chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

Talismanic striker Jamie Vardy (£9.0m) returns to the starting line-up after featuring as a second-half substitute against West Ham in Gameweek 10. Meanwhile James Maddison (£7.0m) appears to be deployed just behind him in a 4-4-1-1 formation.

Meanwhile, midfielder Callum Paterson (£5.2m) starts a fourth successive match as the centre-forward for Cardiff.

Likewise, Richarlison (£6.8m) is used up front for Everton, extending his run of games in that position to four in a row. Bernard (£5.9m), Theo Walcott (£6.4m) and Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.5m) remain the attacking midfield trio behind the Brazilian.

Marko Arnautovic (£7.0m) returns to the West Ham team after missing out on Gameweek 10 with an illness. Matej Vydra (£5.8m) has been named in the Burnley side to face the Hammers for the fist time since Gameweek 7.

Everybody’s new favourite budget striker Isaac Success (£4.6m) was on the Watford teamsheet for the third match in a row, furthering his appeal.

CARDIFF CITY XI: Etheridge; Bennett, Bamba, Morrison, Ecuele Manga; Arter, Gunnarsson; Murphy, Reid, Camarasa; Paterson

      28 from 5, can't complain

      God those are 2 awful goals.

      Grab the winner please Arnie.

    • krumcake

      Richarlison must-have 😉

    • La Roja
      • 12 Years

      Almost arnie assist ffs

    • Over Midwicket

      Seems I touched a nerve with my earlier comment about only fools owning Fabianski (including me) but I stand by what I said. West Ham are trash defensively and will barely keep any cleans. Ederson owners grinning smugly..

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 12 months ago

        Yeah so trash that they managed a cleanie vs Chelsea...

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 12 months ago

          What does a clean sheet in one game out of 11 prove? That they are not trash defensively?

          If you actually watched them you'd know they are not at all good at the back - it's a Pellgrini hallmark.

    • yakirh

      Rich is backkkk 🙂

      Arnie assist denied by the woodwork

    • Garlana
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Was so close to doing richarlison to Barkley

    • Chucky
      • 10 Years

      Arnie max Baps 😀

    • rambo.

      Rich to Martial will have to wait

      1. Konstaapeli
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 12 months ago

        Got them both 😀

    • Postman Ty
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      This is an actual joke. Arnautovic can't buy an assist.

    • Football Heaven
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      On wc do got rid of richa and pereira. Brilliant. On paper everyone in my team should be doing well but I’ll drop in rank thanks to Wilson and richarlison

      Rich vs Martial is a toughy.

    • fedolefan
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Richarlison somewhat saving my car crash of a start. Let's go Pereyra. Grab a late equalizer.

    • HNI
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Glad to be in top 5k already. Its going to be very tough this season for good players with bad start to break in higher places except during chip times as template keeps delivering and people with punts falling further behind
