Leicester unchanged as Everton switch to three at the back

The final two matches of Gameweek 14 take place simultaneously this afternoon, with kick-off at 16:30 GMT.

Manchester United host Aston Villa at Old Trafford, while third-placed Leicester City take on Everton at the King Power Stadium.

The Foxes can move back to within eight points of league leaders Liverpool with a victory over the Toffees this afternoon.

With his side on a five-match winning run, Brendan Rodgers has unsurprisingly named an unchanged team for the sixth game in a row.

Jamie Vardy (£9.8m), the most-captained player overall and in the top 10k in Gameweek 14, keeps up his ever-present record under his manager.

The Leicester striker hasn’t blanked since Gameweek 8 and averages 8.67 points per match in home games this season.

The Foxes come into this game having not conceded a league goal since Gameweek 9.

Marco Silva makes three changes to the side that was beaten by Norwich City last weekend.

Michael Keane (£5.4m) joins Yerry Mina (£5.3m) and Mason Holgate (£4.4m) in a back three, while Alex Iwobi (£5.7m) replaces the injured Theo Walcott (£6.2m) further forward.

The other change sees Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.8m) oust Cenk Tosun (£5.7m) up front.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes one change from Gameweek 13, with Juan Mata (£6.2m) replacing Phil Jones (£4.8m).

That alteration would seem to indicate that Solskjaer has moved back to a 4-2-3-1, with Mata joining Daniel James (£6.2m) and Marcus Rashford (£8.7m) in the attacking trident behind Anthony Martial (£7.8m).

Budget FPL defender Brandon Williams (£4.1m) is again preferred at left-back, with positional rivals Ashley Young and Luke Shaw (both £5.4m) on the bench.

Dean Smith names the same Aston Villa side that beat Newcastle on Monday, so there is no place for Marvelous Nakamba (£4.4m) in midfield.


Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Pereira, Evans, Söyüncü, Chilwell, Ndidi, Ayoze Pérez, Tielemans, Maddison, Barnes, Vardy.

Everton XI: Pickford, Digne, Holgate, Keane, Mina, Sidibe, Davies, Sigurdsson, Iwobi, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelöf, Maguire, Williams, Andreas Pereira, Fred, James, Mata, Rashford, Martial.

Aston Villa XI: Heaton, Guilbert, Konsa, Mings, Targett, McGinn, Luiz, Hourihane, El Ghazi, Wesley, Grealish.

    The best league in the world but the most incompetent, inconsistent officials.

    They wonder why none were picked for the Russian World Cup...

    Thoughts on Mount?

      Rubbish

        Month or so ago everyone was routing him.
        He's great, playing in a very attacking team and is a bargain price.

        Nobody is going to haul every week.

        1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

          *touting*

        2. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years

          Rotation is the big issue now, Chelsea triple up is getting too much... also not happy with his form lately

      Get Perez for him

      Almost defoz selling for Grealish tbh... can't decide if I wanna do it this week, but price changes could force hand if I also wanna do Maddison to Son.

      Good for a youngster but since set pieces were taken off him he's no good for FPL.

        oh has he lost set pieces? oof

      Understand why yellow was not shown to Chilwell, anyone would fly high when a big clearance like that is coming his way.

          What? It wasn't a penalty I have Vardy captain too

            would have been last year and i preffered it thay way im just f**king sick of it whether its right or wrong

              4 years, 4 months ago

              I'm sure you would have been delighted if that was given against your own team last year. Stop being daft.

              "sick of it whether its right or wrong"

              lol, can't argue with this kind of logic.

            She disagrees

        • Maddi Son
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          I know the frustration but it was the right decision. Only thing they got wrong was not booking Chilwell.

          1. Postman Ty
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            It should be a yellow to avoid being kicked.

              • 9 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

          Did you mind it last GW?

        • pablo discobar
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          But was it the right decision?

            That's not important.

          lo cya

      2. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Perreira looks class but final ball lacking slightly. Come on lad

      3. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        VAR screwed over Vardy this GW. But helped him when he missed his penalty in a previous GW. Swings and roundabouts.

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

          VAR helped correct two errors.

          It all evens out over a season.

        2. pablo discobar
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Didn't screw him, it wasn't a pen

        3. Jordan.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          still a pile of shite either way ,thats my gripe ,for me its killed it

      4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        This is brilliant from Silva, excellent tactics. Think he's stumbled upon something good here for the tough run of fixtures

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Steve Bruce did it first.

        2. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Just like the last time they smashed their tough run of fixtures.

        3. Fred54
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          One ball dissected the whole Everton midfield a moment ago.

        4. Clintymints
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Nailed it so far

          Flooding the middle of the park to suppress Maddison and Tielemans, which in turn forces Lecieter to play Chilwell and Pereira wide forward , then they exploit the space left by them

          Rodgers needs to sort it

      5. dshv

            Not really because Abraham was never playing this GW.

            • 7 Years

            should've gotten most people instead of Laca.

                Punt who looked good in the last match with good upcoming fixtures.

                Easy ditch after BHA if he fails in that too

        1. Postman Ty
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          His point blank unchallenged header was off target.

      16. Pukki Blinders

        Rashford goal may be awarded as Heaton OG

        1. Legendary!
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          See my post below.. LOL!

        2. Yozzer
          • 6 Years

          Yer it is a OG , Trashy assist

      17. Legendary!
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Isnt that goal technically an OWN GOAL? LOL

        Rashfords header was off target (on the bar) then hit Heaton and goes in

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          If that’s what happened it should be an OG

        2. Clintymints
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          A shot against the woodwork is considered off target, so it should be

      18. TAT
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Seriously, EVERY move I considered for a hit would've paid off; Ings, Mousset, Rashford. Of course I decided to avoid taking the hit…

        1. InSaneMan-e
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Haha I know the feeling. I played wildcard considered those and even bloody willems of Newcastle and cantwell as my cheap fodders.

            • 6 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            That's really unlucky! Went with Cahill last GW because of the fixtures, but I sure wouldn't mind owning Wlilems. He looks a decent option.

      19. tm245

        Trezeguet with some thunder.

      20. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Should be Heaton OG, Rashford A

      21. Ghost Gooner
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Was the Rashford goal not a OG?

        1. ZeBestee
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          No.

          1. Legendary!
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            It should be an OG, it was off target (hit the post) then bounces off Heaton to go in

        2. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Yes.

        3. Yank Revolution

          Yes

        Did Martial celebrate the goal ?

      23. Weasel51
        • 8 Years

        MARTIAL gone for me after this GW

      24. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Clear OG...

        Mark owning Rashford might alter things though.

      25. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years

        Heaton OG confirmed
