Ayoze Perez (£6.0m) continues in a false nine role for Leicester in the absence of Jamie Vardy (£10.0m).

James Maddison (£7.2m), Harvey Barnes (£6.8m) and Marc Albrighton (£5.3m) line-up behind Perez.

Youri Tielemans (£6.4m) and Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m) start in the heart of the Leicester midfield.

Neal Maupay (£6.1m) leads the line for Brighton tonight in a six-pointer at the bottom of the table.

Supporting Maupay are Leandro Trossard (£5.7m) and Alexis Mac Allister (£5.3m), with Yves Bissouma (£4.5m) and Pascal Groß (£5.8m) in midfield.

Joel Veltman (£4.3m) and Solly March (£5.0m) are selected at wing-back. Ben White (£4.4m) moves back into defence, with Lewis Dunk (£4.8m) and Andy Webster (£4.4m).

Robert Sanchez (£4.4m) is Brighton’s number one.

Either side of Cavaleiro will be Ademola Lookman (£5.0m), Bobby Decordova-Reid (£5.3m) and Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£5.9m).

Frank Zambo Anguissa (£4.5m) and Harrison Reed (£4.4m) start in midfield for the Cottagers.

    why did Chiwell got subbed? Just normal tactical change to chase a goal? Or there's some injury?

    1. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Losing to a dead team with KDB (c) Grealish (v) in the cup. Unbelievable jam game

    Soucek off the bench, casual...

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Got him off the bench in my draft league at least. Started him in FPL as he is God.

  6. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years

    Burnley are so annoying.

  7. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    These last minute time-wasting hoofball tactics from Burnley were straight out of a Sean Dyche motivational WAV.

  8. Lukakuna
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Grealish is such a meanie, don't get why he doesn't get more yellows. Not that I'm complaining...

    How many getting Soucek for Werner?

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

      Not many, not like you’d start Werner over anyone atm. I got him for James no show.

    2. KT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Zouma’s no show= 15 Soucek points, couldn’t be happier

    3. The Final Boss
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Grealish 1 bonus?

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

      Are Bruno’s points even beneficial for captainers?

      1. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        By only 20%ish so not really

      2. ivantys
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yes

      3. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        of course. EO is only 180%

        Captaincy is worth 200% of the points

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

        For me, it's only beneficial if he gets around 12pts :/.

      5. Call Me Old Fashioned
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        yes, i am on 20pts and was in top10K. i need to claw something back from this horrid gw

      6. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        ofcourse - there are so many dead teams

        1. OverTinker
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

      7. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I'm having a nightmare week so I'll take all the points I can get.

      8. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        It’s the equivalent of owning a player with 80% ownership, like Bamford this week. Still enough that it’s worth celebrating

    5. FantasyHero
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Digne playing midfield ?

      1. ivantys
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah OOP

    6. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Let's go Rashford!!

    7. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Soucek first sub, Zouma didn't play, Lindelof isn't starting. But since I played 3-4-3, I can forget about Souceks points!

      1. Vlekz
          3 years, 2 months ago

          If you played 4 at the back. You will get him. If you played 3 then no

          1. Hybrid.power
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah I know, that's why I'm moaning

      2. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Which transfer should I do?

        A) Bamford -> Dcl

        B) Rashford -> Grealish

        1. The Mighty Hippo
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          A

          1. Rainer
            • 7 Years

        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

      7. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years

          • 7 Years

          My cup rival - he's got 67 with Rashford (c) and Son left .... he's even got 8 points for Wood 🙁

        3 years, 2 months ago

        Everton are going to smash somebody at some point. I would be worried if I’m Newcastle

      10. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Which to get rid of;

        A) Coufal (have Cresswell)
        B) Dallas
        C) R.James

        And is this player & Werner TO Cancelo & DCL (-4) worth it?

        1. HashAttack
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          RJames has to go - glad he didn't drop in price last night

      11. JBG

          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Didn't watch. Were Villa as profligate as those stats suggest?

          1. Fred54
