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

LEICESTER CITY XI: Schmeichel; Chilwell, Morgan, Maguire, R Pereira; Albrighton, Mendy, Ndidi, Gray; Maddison; Vardy

NEWCASTLE UNITED XI: Dubravka, Dummett, Lascelles, Fernandez, Yedlin, Diame, Shelvey, Ritchie, Muto, Kenedy, Rondon

WATFORD XI: Foster, Femenia, Mariappa, Cathcart, Holebas, Doucoure, Capoue, Hughes, Deulofeu, Pereyra, Success

    7. TeamSteam
      • 11 Years

      He doesnt do anything ever. Takes set pieces, but with Maguire injured he has even less potential. Big suck.

    4. Ross From Friends
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Got rid of him a while back, he's a waste

  4. HNI

    Held off playing wc before kane plum matches 3gws back. Brought wilson, arnie and rich on WC. Hopefully helps to rise to top 1k from 3k right now. Best wc decisions ever. Analysing doesnt go to waste

    1. HNI
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      On wc this gw*

    2. R.C
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      It's been one GW. If the same continues for 3-5 weeks, then it's a great WC imo

    Typical Holebas, goes from CS and 3 BAPS to yellow card and no CS... Owned him last season, never again...

  8. Dynamic Duos

    well what ever happens next, i've got an absolute fantasy football buzz of Richarlison and Arnie

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Same! Pity I don't have Salah coming up but maybe Mane will do the business

  9. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Arnie off 🙁

  10. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Although on target, that Anderson goal should be an OG 🙁

    Clear deflection 🙁

    1. fedolefan
      • 9 Years

      This makes no sense.

    I wa told Fabianski has save points in pretty much every match so far.

    Been duped once more :mrgreen:

    1. Goat
      • 6 Years

      LOL

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years

      Try watching for yourself and stop blaming other people.

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

        Mate, a bit OTT don't you think?

        It was clearly a comment in jest - there's even a smiley face!

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          People are so over sensitive on this site man

  16. Numb
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Think that might be the end of Success starting

    1. KingOllie
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He played great

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Unsuccessful story

  17. LIARS POKER
    • 7 Years

    Got no faith in Mitro points. Kicking myself for not doing the Arnie transfer now

    1. Effe
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Me too

      Hindsight is 20-20. He was doubtful to even play the full 90.

        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

    Maddison. What a waste. No show once more. Sigh, getting baited by fixtures is the worst.

    1. Goat
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Keep him for 1 more (BUR)

      1. Fresh_From_Desh
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Not sure I can.

        Richarlison is within reach

  24. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Yedlin on my bench 🙁

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Let's be honest, it's where he should have been. Just unlucky.

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah.

        I played Balbuena over him which seemed right at the time.

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah I bought that fecker this week!!

          I wasn't happy with doing it, but I couldn't see any other options.

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Obviously he'll never score points again then

  27. R.C
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Arnie is underpriced at 7m. Should be 9m+
