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.

    My team looked amazing on paper this week. 22 points with 3 Pool to play. Unreal.

      Stop with the boasting....18 and a -4 here with trip pool to go:(.

    Burnley the only team keeping a CS tonight.

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

      As expected...

    2. Queens of the South Age
      • 6 Years

      Very unexpected bonus.

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

    Put the contract on the table. Let him put whatever numbers he wants on it. Ole’s at the wheel man, he’s doing it he’s doing his thing. United are back.

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years

      Hahahahahahahahahah

    2. Syd.

      Is that you Rio

    3. Zilla

  7. Skalla

    Lingard so close...

  8. Oggle22
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Why do I still own Moura and Martial!

  9. Twisted Saltergater
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    In 10 years of FPL, don’t think I’ve ever reached the point where I can’t see who next to bring in. So few premium players firing, strikers injured or out of form, no clean sheets outside of Liverpool (and Burnley now that I’ve sold Pope lol).

    Weird.

    1. schwing
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Use the Auto Pick!

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        It would genuinely make better decisions!

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

      I know what you mean... I'm looking at Maddison and Chilwell without any idea of who I should bring in.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Pereira and Perez 😉

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years

      The money is not a factor anymore. Plenty of great players but forget premium.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yep, I think that’s my problem. Not for Grealish and you could make the case for him being better than the majority of most other mids.

  10. Rainer

    That Pope say could mean 10 points instead of 9.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Wood goal winning bonus?
      Possible deductions, of course.

  11. Henning
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Ger rid of Salah or Mane to afford Agüero,
    Not worth it right?

  12. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years

    Yesssssss Pope again get in 🙂

  13. Iceball

  20. Rainer

    Pope 11 😮

    Season keeper!

    Unwritten rule of FPL, cheapest playing keeper & never waste a transfer selling.

    1. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Oh yes

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Disagree. Ryan owner here 🙁 I am so unlucky with keepers always

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Dont blame luck for poor life choices daniel

    3. beric
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yep, glad i bought and stuck with him, through good times and bad

    4. AzzaroMax99

      Hendo says hi 😉

    5. pjomara
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      And can get 4.0 goalie in reserve bar for benchboost

    6. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It has changed Wood 38 , Pope 37

    7. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Strongly agree with this even though I went against it. Got suckered in by a 4.5 Gazzaniga because of Mourinho

  21. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Why is Rodriguez not on BAPS?

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

      Probably cause he did nothing else in this match. His strike was a hit and hope. Other than that, invisible.

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He didnt get enough points

  22. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Ryan owners the real users.

    Gazza, Hendo, Pope all delivered hauls last weeks

  23. Free Hat
    • 5 Years

    Happy Pope owner here(from GW 1)
    Not all weeks were smooth, but I believe in the end it all evens out.

        Glute

    2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

      HULK THIS!! MASSIVE NEWS 🙂

    3. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Says it a glute injury so not as bad.

  25. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Keepers are just a joke. You get punished for having two playing keepers yet others jam filth ha

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

      I've seriously considered going with 10 men before and having two 4.0/3.9 keepers

    I think I might just bring Jimi back next week!

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Yeah thinking the same - Jota returns too

    2. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I agree- he is at least consistent

  27. lindeg
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    ole gunnar get sacked

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

    Madison Vardy to Fleck and Aubamayang?

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

      Just done this myself

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

    Now all that's over, the real point variances are about to come in.

    If the Liverpool player you don't have/captain gets a return, that's at least 10 points a pop.

  30. WVA
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I am cursed this season beyond belief, since selling Pope for fab
