Injured Maddison misses out as Perez starts against his old club

The only Gameweek 7 match to take place this Sunday kicks off at 16:30 BST, as Leicester City welcome Newcastle United to the King Power Stadium.

The headline team news surrounds the unavailability of James Maddison (£7.1m), who misses out with the ankle knock that he picked up against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.

Brendan Rodgers said ahead of kick-off:

We wanted to give him every chance but it was always going to be unlikely that he could [play]. But he’s back working now and hopefully next week he’ll be fine.

Maddison is the only player on either side who is currently owned by more than 10% of Fantasy Premier League managers.

Dennis Praet (£5.3m) fills in for his sidelined teammate and makes only his second Premier League start since his summer move from Sampdoria.

Other than that enforced change, Leicester City are otherwise unchanged from the side that defeated Spurs.

That means that Ayoze Perez (£6.0m), who is yet to register an attacking return in 2019/20, gets a start against his old club.

Perez scored the only goal of the game in this corresponding fixture last season, while still on Newcastle’s books.

Steve Bruce has made three changes from the side that drew 0-0 with Brighton, one of which sees Sean Longstaff (£5.0m) replace the injured Jonjo Shelvey (£5.0m) in midfield.

Sweden international Emil Krafth (£4.5m) replaces Javier Manquillo (£4.4m) in a like-for-like swap at right-back, while Yoshinori Muto (£5.3m) gets his first start of the season at the expense of Jetro Willems (£4.5m) – which means a system change to a back four for the Magpies.

Bruce said before the game:

Jetro [Willems] picked up an injury in the week with his knee and with Matt Ritchie being out too, we haven’t got anybody natural in that left wing-back position.

Andy Carroll (£5.4m) is once again on the bench, along with Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.4m).

Isaac Hayden (£4.5m) is the most-owned Newcastle asset on show but has been benched by over 75% of his owners, which perhaps says all there is to know about the Fantasy community’s faith in the Magpies.

Jamie Vardy (£8.9m) has been handed the armband by 78,089 FPL managers in Gameweek 7.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel; Pereira, Evans, Soyuncu, Chilwell; Ndidi, Tielemans, Praet; Barnes, Perez, Vardy.

Newcastle United XI: Dubravka; Krafth, Schar, Lascelles, Dummett; Atsu, Hayden, Longstaff Almiron; Muto, Joelinton.

    Man Utd need a win tomorrow to stay with the pack chasing Top 4.

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      More like other teams need us to lose to stand any chance of top 4

      1. CostaCoffee
        • 10 Years

        Not quite

      2. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*

        Nope

      Can’t see them winning, 2-0 Arsenal

        Do u remember the last time arsenal beat us at our own backyard in the league? Gilberto Silva was still an arsenal player

        1. CostaCoffee
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Last time a United team was this bad was before Gilberto Silva played football

    Feel like this season has seen something of a purple patch in terms of minus GW totals in FPL. More than any other season. I might be wrong. I've had three in my squad in the past two weeks. Today three more in one game, I believe. It's the risk we take though eh guys?

      I'm on the safety score - looks like I'm out then!

  4. CostaCoffee

    Cantwell to Yarm for free?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Home game for Cantwell next if playing him.

      1. CostaCoffee
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah nice fixture too, Norwich haven’t looked great last 2 games though and already have Pukki. Would be priced out if I don’t make the transfer soon, don’t think it’s a great idea making my transfer before a bunch of midweek games though

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah, decent chance I'll bench Cantwell so hoping for a fail.

        2. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          they look bad because away, if they fail at home vs AV then we should be worried about Norwich

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      yea gotta keep Cant for that home game after negotiating the storm of the last 2 gws.

  5. El Matador
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone contemplating Pukki (c) this week? Blanked last 2 away but scored in every home game this season. May end up a goal fest v Villa.

    1. Artemis Titans
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I have tentatively placed it around his arm. Might chicken out though.... must resist.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Kevin de Bruyne is playing at home this GW...

      1. Artemis Titans
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Nuff said.

      2. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        the only thing making my knee twitch from Kane captain, dont think I can do it tho. That Kane brace/hatti has to be right round the corner

    3. CostaCoffee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Nah Sterling, KdB and Auba all looking better options for me

  6. andres
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Bit worried that all my attack is based on city (3), Che (2) and Norwich (2)...

    Pope
    TAA Pieters Lund
    KDB Sterling Mount Cantwell
    Kun Tammy Pukki

    Ceballos, Kelly, Soy 1FT, 2.9M

    A. save FT
    B. Ceballos => Yarmolenko and play ahead of Cantwell
    C. Pieters => Cresswell/ other to avoid Burnley double up

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      A for now. Great fixture for those 3 teams this GW.

      1. andres
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        yeah, could be an upside actually...
        what about the defence, shake things up a little there?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          You'll want 2 FTs to change up the attack soon.

          1. andres
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            that is true. I like hits though, some times to much 🙂
            but to your point I might do a mini WC after the next GW.

            Will need to loose one of Sterling / Kun eventually as I cannot go without pool attackers too long.

            Also definitely getting Vardy after pool.
            wish I took pereira over soy this GW... decided to bank the 1.4 M difference and it is reflected in the points now...

    2. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Cantwell was never a 4th mid tbf.

      A or B

  7. Wılly
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Pope (EVE)
    Robertson VVD Otamendi Tomori (LEI, LEI, WOL, sou)
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount (LEI, WOL, WOL, sou)
    Pukki Abraham (AVL, sou)

    Lundstram, Greenwood, Dendoncker (wat, new, mci)

    Looking at downgrading one in defence to move to a 3-5-2 or a 3-4-3.
    Should I hold the transfer this week though?

  8. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Who is the better pick for next 5 fixtures ?

    TAA (leics H, MUN A, Spurs H, Villa A, City H)

    Otamendi (Wolves H, Palace A, Villa H, Saints H, Liverpool A)

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Trent.

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

      TAA

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        TAA is 2x better than all defenders out there.

        1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          He's not even the top FPL defender

    3. The Left Duke #3
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'd still go with Trent to be honest. City look woeful at the back. Will score a lot but concede as well. Allison return after Int break will only help TAA

    4. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks guyz

  9. The Left Duke #3
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    54 point GW and finally back in the top 1 million OR lol....banker to be chucked back out after tomorrow night. This season is going to be a graft to try and beat my 6k OR best rank which i've done the past 2 seasons. Onwards and upwards chaps 🙂

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yep feeling the same at the moment, good luck with it

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers pal, something tells me we'll need all the luck we can get 😉

  10. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Play 1 of these 2

    A - Cantwell

    B - Lundstram

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      A

  11. T.Henry14
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Horror week :/

    1FT

    Team:
    Pope, McGovern
    Arnold, Otamendi, Aurier*, Pieters, Lundstram
    Sterling, Salah, KDB, Mount, Cantwell
    Pukki, Abraham, Barnes*

    Do you have patience for Barnes?
    Aurier out for sure.

    A) Aurier ----> Soyuncu (Barnes ----> King next week)
    B) Aurier&Barnes ----> Rico&Haller -4 (can't wait for next GW, have exactly money)

    Pieters has proven to be a strong third option on defense and I don't think I need Soyuncu.
    Better Invest money in Haller??

    1. MTPockets
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Don't like either option this week tbh

      • insertcomedyname
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I’m sticking with Barnes for a bit. Fixtures are ok and he’s done well over an extended period so I think he’ll come good again. Plus I have no money to upgrade him! King is too sideways.

        Think b is better than a. But overall I don’t think I’d take the hit for that even if it means you miss you.

        1. T.Henry14
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I will go with Aurier ---> Rico for now, with 0.8 itb and a few more days to think.

          I hope Barnes doesn't fall in price and Hahler doesn't go up, in that case I wouldn't have to make another transfer this GW.

    2. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'm getting off the Pukki train and I said I was gonna do it 2 weeks ago!

      Wilson or Vardy?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        not this week man he is at home vs AV. If he gets nothing then consider that, madness take Pukki out with this fixture

      2. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Wilson, two weeks ago!

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Well part of the reason I want him of course. Fixtures and form.

          1. Rainer
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Don’t think it’s the week to move Pukki on.

      3. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        At home to Villa - seems a strange time to buy two other FWD up against top 6

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          You're missing the bigger picture

          1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            How? easy enough to play Pukki this week against easier opposition and then change up after when both Vardy and Wilson have better fixtures.

            1. Stupendous
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Perhaps waiting one more week then

              1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                You can't expect a 6.5 (starting price) fwd to score every week. If he bags 15 goals this season you'll be sitting pretty. Just be patience, transfers are valuable, and sure Vardy/Wilson could score and Pukki could blank but the odds are in Pukki's favour this week.

          2. Ze_Austin
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Sure you aren't?

          3. have you seen cyan
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            so you want to ditch Pukki @ home vs AV, for either Vardy away @ pool or Wilson @ at Arsenal. Your missing whats staring you in the face tbh

            1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Thank you, this guy gets it.

        2. Stupendous
          • 11 Years

          Also vardy can score v anyone

            • 9 Years

            I own Vardy so I'm well aware

            1. Wılly
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Chelsea, City and Liverpool this season

      4. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Wilson's immediate fixtures looks better

      5. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        Think I’m guna join you in gameweek 9 for Vardy

      6. Artemis Titans
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Why not all 3?

    3. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Best def option up to 5.5 bar Ota and Pereira? Tomori?

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Soyuncu has been solid. Tomori also on my radar.

      2. CostaCoffee
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Tomori/Söyüncü

      3. jomikijiq
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        unpopular opinion for sure, but it might be Maguire/AWB

        the best xGA in the league by some distance and quite good fixtures apart from GW9

        1. Slitherene
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I think they'll concede in GW 10 & 11 too.

      Guys what should I do this gw?

      A) Digne to Rico and save one ft and do Barnes to vardy next week
      B) Barnes to vardy and digne to Rico free this gw

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Vardy always scores v Pool

    5. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      44 points all out. Probably a red down to about 450k overnight which ain't great.

      2 frees to play with but I think I want to save them for the international break.

      Which 1 move would you do here?

      Pope
      Trent Lundstram Mings
      Salah KDB Son Cantwell
      Kun Abraham pukki

      Woodman*, Hayden*, Hanley, Soyuncu

      0.1ITB

      Sell hayden to dendoncker to save 0.1 or maybe sell Mings for tomori? Any other suggestions?

          And lose a transfer? Might as well use 1 of them right?

            Sorry, Tomori helps your team more than Dend.

              Cheers. And then I can sell Hayden and son for mount and Maddo the week after. 🙂

      2. The Pesci challenge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        I did Mings to tomori if it helps

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

          Seems a decent plan. Good upcoming games for chelsea and tomori has been impressive

      3. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Hayden (3-game ban) to Dendoncker and Mings to Tomori

        Mings could be in for 0 points against Norwich

        1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Don't think I want to do both this week. Am planning son and Hayden to mount and maddison over international break. Maddox should be fit by then and I don't want him v pool anyway. 🙂

          1. Ze_Austin
            • 5 Years

            Now that I have some context...

      Wolves away in Turkey Thursday then away to City on Sunday

      City at home Tuesday to Dinamo Zagreb.

      Sterling (TC) confirmed.

        TC? I'd rather use it on Salah in a double gameweek. But I'm definitely captaining kun next week

      2. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I'll be on Sterling C but TC... would still rather hold for a double

        1. TheSteel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          Been there, done that. Disappointed each time. Changing it up this season.

          1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            I've had success with TC on DWG but I can see if I didn't wanting to change it. I know some had to TC Carroll one year in a dwg just to play it (which is always the risk of waiting).

      3. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        TC in GW4 looked better!

      4. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years

        Auba captain

    7. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Subject to midweek, Mane and Pukki to McGinn/Yarmo and Aguero + cash for free? Only other City attack is KDB, no other Pool attack (unless you count TAA).

      1. The Pesci challenge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        No save

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Probably right, those Aguero fixtures sure are juicy though! Guess I need to figure out somet else to do with my FT, burning one would be a first for me!

    8. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Can anyone shed light on the news that son could be unavailable for Watford game because of his involvement with internationals?

      Thought he wud be the best captain pick for the GW as city Liverpool and arsenal have tricky fixtures

      1. fr3d
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        He's got 4 days to escape North Korea and get back to London

      2. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Speculation, depends how much he play during IB

      3. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Team News might closer to GW9, like in GW5...

        Will be surprised if he plays in North Korea.

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Son could be kidnapped in NKorea, its possible and forced to play for NKorea from there on out.

      4. mookie

        There is no news, just a bunch of brainwashed people.

    9. jason_ni

      Mate is leading work ml - no Salah or Sterling since day 0, thought he'd have no chance.

      Currently 60 points ahead in the league, near top 2.5k, and still has Auba to play tomorrow.

      He's killing it, and I thought he was a hopeless fool GW 1.

      1. Ze_Austin

        Good thing there are 31 GWs left...

        I'm at a similar rank without either. Though I did start with both, ditched on a WC a few weeks ago. Still expect them to be in top 5 (and probably 3) scoring mids, just a matter of getting them at the right time I guess and if taking out having enough TV to get them back later.

        Sterling is an interesting one though, he is always haul capable but I do think his value is reduced somewhat stuck on the left.

          Lol.. he does have a fabi fire to sort out.
          TAA, Robbo, AWB
          Kdb, Dilva,Bilva, maddison
          Auba, Vardy, King

          The city mf, and auba vardy are paying off for him..
          Even king is ticking along with points nicely!

      Think Southgate will call up Tomori for next international break? Can definitely see him getting in the Euros squad or even first XI if he keeps up the form

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        He has not yet decided whether to play for Canada or Nigeria or England

        1. CostaCoffee
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Forgot about that! Would be disappointed is he doesn’t choose England, think he’d compliment Maguire nicely

            Cantwell imo is a bench player, a good one but none the less a bench player. Vardy can score against anyone. I don't think you'll get much back from either but I'd always bet on Vardy Party.

            1. Come on you Kante
              • 5 Years

              You are right cards can score against anyone but I feel he won’t against pool and cantwell will our score against villa although I could be completely wrong but that’s my gut feelings for upcoming gw

      Pepe for which other midfielder? I have sterling and kdb.

      C- d.silva

      2. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        whats your team, why does it have to be a city player? Mahrez looks an amazing option but could jsut as equally be the ultimate trap, highly risk move that is

        1. Come on you Kante
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I guess any of them are open to the pep roulette and the form he is in I feel Mahrez might get more game time I could be wrong

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            im for sure considering Mane>Mahrez if he blanks next, but its so risky I feel. He is quality its just his minutes and Pep

        1. The Overthinker

      2. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Keeping - If it was anyone else with that run I'd probably consider dropping but last year we saw Salah go on a crazy run of 40-50 pts when his fixtures looked horrible. He's too good to not get points imo.

        1. Come on you Kante
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Salah a season keeper for me will score loads of points over the season

          1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Agreed. 250+ points incoming. He's got 7 attacking returns in 7 gameweeks. Hard to ignore just how consistent he is.

            1. Come on you Kante

        No..Mane better player and in better team..Find other ways to get taa in

        1. jason_ni
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          On flip side taa is a much better option over awb.
          I think mane to son is worth it to fund TAA.
          Him and kdb are the 2 essential picks.

      2. No Professionals

      1. No Professionals

        Kdb not even flagged. May just mean he misses Europe which is a good thing for next sat.

    20. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Pondering this would appreciate thoughts. Current front line is Kun-Pukki-Abraham.

      Pukki >

      A) Aubameyang
      B) Vardy
      C) keep Pukki

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        CAB this week.

        Could do A if essential.

        Next week different order likely.

        1. Danstoke82
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I was all but convinced on A due to his strong fixtures. Pukki though has decent ones also. Vardy is tempting me as it allows me to upgrade VVD + Ceballos > TAA + Mount.

          I’m still strongly on A though but means I’ll also have to do VVD > Matip
