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.

    Not even thinking about captaincy till gw18. Vardy my captain since gw12, will continue till gw17.

    damn vardy (non capper)

      55% don't own, relax and celebrate 🙂

        Everyone in top 100k owns it seems, so cappers benefit from the goals more

    My OR was 33k before that Vardy goal. I have him but I didn't captain him. Let's see how much rank I lose on that goal ..

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      It’ll only be about 4 points worth.

      Not worth fretting.

      1. PrettyDick
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        He's on 3 bonus now as well, so 7pts for now. Not saying it's the end of the world, it'll just be interesting to see how much it affects the rank to own him but not captain him

      a lot. I captained Mane instead of Vardy

      I was absolutely dreading a Vardy goal. Typical. Awful defending for the goal by Everton, he was left free at the back post

    3. OPTA FPL

      100k

      How much did you lose?

      1. PrettyDick
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        down to 40K. So 7K (or about 20%..). Also out of the FFS cup due to my opponent putting the armband on him, now only a Chilwell or Tielemans return can save me haha
