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.

    Maddison doesn't have the desire to score goals.

      You spelt ‘ability’ wrong

      1. diesel001

        He has the ability. But prefers to spray the ball left and right and look good making passes.

      He’s so great to watch from a footballing perspective but annoying for Fantasy

    3. Heiro
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Agreed. So casual once he's passed it on

      Extremely over rated. He's a good player but my my he's not as good as some people say

      1. teknicolourfox

        Correct, much like Grealish

      bench

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

    Maddison would have had a field day if he was playing... Why did Rodgers bench him?

  5. Hybrid.power

    Let's go Mason

  6. Londongeezaa

    4-1 Leicester...

    when are the Vardy and Maddison points going to be updated?

    1. 1zverGGadeM
      • 7 Years

    Leicester better without Vardy, like Spurs & Kane?

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      no. it's just west ham.

      Naaaah. That midfield is simply beautiful

  9. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years

    To love this game you have to be a little bit into pain and torture ....

    It’s a real ride!

  10. JBG
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Really considering -8 to take out Vardy, Maddison and Chilwell...

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years

      Allergic to points ?

      1. JBG
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Just sick off all 3 players. Specially Maddison and Chilwell.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

    3. teknicolourfox
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Can recoup from one player hail (as we've seen today with Ali, Perez etc.) sometimes it needs to be done

  11. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    1. Heiro
      • 14 Years

    2. HashAttack
      • 7 Years

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

      On 18 BPS, get 18 for a goal... Must have been a bad night.

      First good news all fooking GW.

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

    I'm considering Moura > Perez for a hit... he is useless

  14. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Could do with Pope not hauling again.

  15. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    So, Martial really rubbish lads?

    1. trinzoo
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Wasted 2 sitters in the 1st half

  16. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Henderson McCarthy

    Lascelles Taa Gomez Stephens Lundstram

    KDB Salah Grealish Fleck Hayden

    Auba Ings Aguero

    Too weak..?

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      (Wildcard team)

      If I was to do it

    2. Mid budget coach
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Superb
      I WC'd and considering this Gw your team is what i should have gotten

    3. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It's OK, would be worried mainly about 2 rotation prone strikers

  17. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    How’s this WC team look...

    McCarthy Button
    TAA Lund Cathcart Lascelles Williams
    Salah Mane KDB Grealish Hayden
    Auba Jiménez Ings

    1. Heiro
      • 14 Years

      Good,

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

      I think I’d be getting 2 starting keepers on my next WC in prep for BB. Not fond of having to make an Xfer to get a keeper in outside of WC.

  18. The_Fish
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Drop Martial or Maddison to fund Vardy to Auba?

  19. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years

    yay a green arrow 🙂

  20. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Is it crazy to do Vardy+Mane to Auba+Perez (-4)? That will allow me to get Firmino instead of DCL for gw 26.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      just a bit yeah

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        No other way to get rid of Vardy. Just 0.2 IDB and 1 FT :/

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Losing mane for perez, that's the crazy part bud, can't possibly do that and feel comofrtable with it

      Reminder there are people out there who are gullible enough to actually truly believe hes injured.

  26. HamezMace
    • 9 Years

    This is all just building to a Liverpool mega haul.

    ....or a 1-0 Wolves win, with a goal from Neto.

  27. Feanor
