Harvey Barnes (£6.0m) and Ayoze Pérez (£6.2m) both find themselves among the Leicester City substitutes as Manchester City come to the King Power Stadium.

Their benchings certainly come as a surprise considering their recent form and run of starts in the team.

Barnes misses out on a place in the starting XI for the first time since Gameweek 21, while Pérez has been present since Gameweek 17.

Brendan Rodgers has gone with a different shape to usual considering the stature of Leicester’s Gameweek 27 opponents.

He has gone with a back-five featuring Christian Fuchs (£4.2m), Çaglar Söyüncü (£5.0m) and Jonny Evans (£5.2m) in the middle and flanked by Ben Chilwell (£5.6m) and Ricardo Pereira (£6.3m).

James Maddison (£7.4m), Youri Tielemans (£6.2m) and Dennis Preat (£5.3m) will form a central midfield trio behind Jamie Vardy (£9.7m) and Kelechi Iheanacho (£5.7m).

Meanwhile, the key Manchester City options are all in place with Sergio Aguero (£12.0m) leading the line and Kevin De Bruyne (£10.8m) joined by Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) in midfield.

The Algerian comes into the side for Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) while Fernandinho (£5.2m) replaces Nicolas Otamendi (£5.0m) and Ilkay Gündogan (£5.2m) takes David Silva‘s (£7.4m) place.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel; Chilwell, Fuchs, Söyüncü, Evans, R Pereira; Maddison, Tielemans, Praet; Vardy, Iheanacho.

Manchester City XI: Ederson; Mendy, Fernandinho, Laporte, Walker; Roridgo, Gündogan; B Silva, De Bruyne, Mahrez; Aguero.

            The way I see it, Mark is basically a meme in this community now and the reason people will bombard him with questions is precisely because he's not usually on here posting. Andy posts regularly (HT every week or so) and it doesn't exactly excite anyone, would be the same for Mark if he was here every day. Similarly I don't think anyone would really care about Andy's team if he was 100k or something middling like that, the fact that he's a Pro Pundit outside the top million after 26 GWs lends itself to discussion. There are actually loads of Pro Pundits and people haven't exactly been raving about Holly Shand or Az or Luke have they.

          GW31 currently only has 3 matches (that's potentially 14 teams blanking) and GW34 will likely have both blanks and doubles, there have been multiple HTs and articles on this AND also a HT on GW28 planning, which was weeks ago because the GW28 blank has been known for ages. If you dig through you can find it. Obviously if you've left yourself in the position where you can't get out a starting XI then it's your choice how you use your FH but most will have prepared for this using FTs

        I bought him after his 1 minute cameo in GW18 and owned him 19-21 before I sold. Rotation and red cards offer no stability.

        Got him back for the last three GWs.

        Did the same with KdB. Had him from 3 to 15. Sold before 16 because City was out of form. Got him back in 21.

        Also sold Pope before the tough fixtures in which he post back to back double digits. Now back in the team.

        Aguero out, Vardy in. Aguero my worst signing this season, never thought I'd be saying that

        Happy for Mahrez to get an asisst and win - he can show all those fans middle finger and drive off with 3pts and nice gap in the league.
