Lloris back from injury as Rodgers recalls Chilwell

There are three Premier League matches taking place this evening.

Leicester City v West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur v Norwich City both get underway at 19:30 GMT, with Manchester United v Burnley kicking off 45 minutes later.

The Hammers are of course in action twice in Double Gameweek 24, with a fixture against Liverpool still to contest in a week’s time.

David Moyes has made one change to his starting XI from Saturday’s draw with Everton: Pablo Fornals (£6.0m) drops to the bench and Arthur Masuaku (£4.2m) comes in on the left flank.

Michail Antonio (£6.9m) has recovered from a thigh injury and is among the substitutes.

There is still no Lukasz Fabianski (£4.9m), so Darren Randolph (£4.5m) continues between the posts for the visitors.

Brendan Rodgers has brought back two of his first-team regulars for tonight’s game, with Ben Chilwell (£5.6m) and Youri Tielemans (£6.2m) recalled.

Christian Fuchs (£4.3m) and Dennis Praet (£5.3m) don’t even make the bench but Wilfred Ndidi (£5.0m) is named as a substitute, having made a much quicker recovery from knee surgery than first anticipated.

There are also two changes apiece for Tottenham Hotspur and Norwich City.

Having previously said he was on course for a return in early February, Jose Mourinho has named the fit-again Hugo Lloris (£5.3m) in his starting XI for the very first time.

Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.6m), fresh from a 14-point haul in Gameweek 23, makes way.

Ryan Sessegnon (£5.4m) in for Japhet Tanganga (£4.0m) is Mourinho’s other alteration.

Both of Daniel Farke’s changes are enforced, with Ben Godfrey (£4.4m) suspended and Emiliano Buendia (£6.0m) injured.

Grant Hanley (£4.0m) and full debutant Lukas Rupp (£4.5m) get the nod at centre-back and on the wing respectively.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made two changes from Manchester United’s defeat at Liverpool, one of which is enforced as Phil Jones (£4.8m) replaces the ill Victor Lindelof (£5.3m).

Juan Mata (£6.2m) comes in for Luke Shaw (£5.4m) in the other alteration as Solskjaer switches from a wing-back system to a back four.

Shaw, along with Mason Greenwood (£4.4m) and Eric Bailly (£4.9m), are among the substitutes, meaning that budget FPL defender Brandon Williams (£4.1m) gets another start at left-back.

Matthew Lowton (£4.2m) replaces Phil Bardsley (£4.3m) at right-back in Sean Dyche’s only change.


Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Pereira, Evans, Soyuncu, Chilwell, Mendy, Tielemans, Maddison, Perez, Barnes, Vardy.

West Ham United XI: Randolph, Cresswell, Diop, Ogbonna, Zabaleta, Noble, Rice, Masuaku, Snodgrass, Lanzini, Haller.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Sessegnon, Winks, Lo Celso, Alli, Lamela, Son, Lucas.

Norwich City XI: Krul, Aarons, Hanley, Zimmermann, Byram, Tettey, McLean, Rupp, Duda, Cantwell, Pukki.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Jones, Maguire, Williams, Fred, Matic, Pereira, Mata, James, Martial.

Burnley XI: Pope, Lowton, Mee, Tarkowski, Taylor, Hendrick, Cork, Westwood, McNeil, Rodriguez, Wood.

    WC this sorry lot?

    Ryan Button
    TAA Soy Lord Kelly Tomori
    Salah Mane KDB Grealish Cantwell
    Vardy Tammy Ayew

    Only players Im keen on keeping are the Pool trio, Grealish + Lord.

      Similar situation to me -

      would you be considering WC this lot next week?

      Gazza/Button
      Robbo/Soy/Lund/Kelly/Rico
      Salah/Mane/KDB/Grealish/Cantwell
      Vardy/Ings/DCL

      1FT 1.5ITB

      or could just do

      Vardy/Gazza > Auba/Henderson
      Exact money (-4)

        Those switches seem reasonable mate. Ill probably take a -4 as well, the WC could come in handy at a later stage. Going to start by removing two out of Ryan/Tomori/Vardy/Tammy depending on the injuries to the last two.. Auba and Hendo seem like good picks to me.

      Who is Lord? Lundstram?

  2. Jindaljain

    Vardy wasted my night. Did -8 to remove him out of the team.

  4. Rainer

    Haven't seen it but with Cantwell 3rd sub, that was a red card!

    Wolves conceded 2 goals in last match and West Ham has soaked in two already. Our TAA TC could realistically give us the 90 points.

    As a non owner I’m gutted about the Vardy injury. Ruins Aguero/Auba differentials.

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years

      You have both?

        no he has neither, but doing very well in 20647th place. Wish I was that good.

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years

      Vardy went off?

    3. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years

      Me too, my WC has Aguero and Vardy up top 🙁

  7. andres

    when is Auba back?

  8. FPL Pillars
    • 7 Years

    Sooo I am late, Vardy???

    1. Johnny Drama
      • 7 Years

      Hanstring probably

    2. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Never gets injured or rested, he's a machine.

    3. Zladan

      Vardy early bath

  9. School of Poch

    would you be considering WC this lot next week?

      Def not WC. Team is fine after -4

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Do you think that -4 is the best move?

    2. TFP
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      nah, it's a very good team with a couple of obvious exceptions.

      mine's basically the same other than I've got two playing keepers, taa rather than Robbo, and I think targett rather than rico.

      really struggling to decide who to get in for Vardy. almost hoping that one of mane/Salah breaks down to free up some cash.

  10. Johnny Drama
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Pickford, Stek
    TAA, Robby, Aurier, Lundy, Rico
    Salah, KDB, Alli, Cantwell, D Luiz
    Vardy, Jimi, DCL

    Have the exact funds to do Vardy & Rico to Auba & Williams. No brainer?

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

    no way that coulda been a red, barely a yellow.

  12. Valar(Keith)
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Atleast most of you enjoyed Vardy points. I bought Vardy @10 for the Norwich game so got 5,9,2,0,0,5,0,1. Also bought fabianski 2 weeks ago, also bought Rashford 3 weeks ago(took out for ings last week) and swapped Jiminez for abraham 4 weeks ago.. Team is a train wreck 🙂

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      You're a jinx.

  13. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Antonio misses sitter... would have been Haller A

  14. Hart-ake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Snodgrass off. Two one pointers tonight. Jesus.

  15. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    When’s the proposed group think WC activation?

    FH28, then pre-DGW34?

    1. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      FH31, WC32/33***

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

      I think it's taking 28 on the chin and FH later.

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yep just remembered 28 is the carabao final only.

    3. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years

      Too early, but won't be that

      Nope

    5. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Use free transfers for gw 28.. Use free hit gw 34.. Wc gw 36 and bench boost gw 37 for me

  16. tucaoneo
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    How bad is the injury? Not watching.

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

      Hammer time.

    2. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn't be surprised to see him start next gameweek, guy is a machine.

    3. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not a doctor but looked like he pulled his hamstring

    4. Shuko
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Seemed more like glute and not hamstring

  17. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Martial is honestly rubbish

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Now you tell me.

  18. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Often a recurring injury when a player who relies on sheer pace starts getting hamstring problems.

    1. Uncle Gamst
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      True, I was 100 meters runner and after my first 'propper' hammy I broke down so many times afterwards

  19. diesel001
    • 7 Years

    Snodgrass subbed off. Start of the DGW!

  20. Hart-ake

    Wildcard yeah but I honestly don't know who I want to bring in. WC essentials??

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      3 pool, 2 shef defense, Kdb, aguero, ings, Jiminez and whoever you can afford around them

  21. diesel001
