Pereira returns as Leicester host Newcastle in Triple Gameweek 35

Ricardo Pereira (£5.9m) is one of two changes for Leicester as they host Newcastle in Triple Gameweek 35.

The right wing-back has not been involved since the Gameweek 31 defeat at Leicester, displacing Luke Thomas (£4.1m) upon his return.

Pereira’s inclusion means Timothy Castagne (£5.8m) vacates the right wing-back role he has thrived in during recent weeks. He was originally due to staff the left-hand side of midfield before Jonny Evans‘ (£5.6m) warm-up injury pulled him into the back-three.

Caglar Söyüncü (£5.3m) and Wesley Fofana (£5.0m) join him there, the three-man defence protected by Youri Tielemans (£6.4m) and Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m) in midfield.

James Maddison (£7.3m) is a number 10 once again, operating in support of Jamie Vardy (£10.3m) and Kelechi Iheanacho (£6.3m).

Leicester’s number nine is top among all FPL forwards for assists over the last four matches (four), while his strike partner has seven goals and two assists in that time.

Newcastle appear to have matched Leicester’s three-man defence and four-man midfield with their setup tonight.

Paul Dummett (£4.4m), Federico Fernández (£4.7m) and Emil Krafth (£4.2m) line up behind Matt Ritchie (£4.9m), Jonjo Shelvey (£5.3m), Joe Willock (£4.7m) and Jacob Murphy (£4.9m).

Callum Wilson (£6.5m) starts for the second Premier League match in a row, joined in the team by Miguel Almirón (£5.6m) and Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.1m).

Triple Gameweek 35 Line-ups

Leicester City XI (3-4-1-2): Schmeichel; Söyüncü, Evans, Fofana; Castagne, Tielemans, Ndidi, R Pereira; Maddison; Vardy, Iheanacho.

Newcastle United XI (3-4-2-1): Dúbravka; Dummett, Fernandez, Krafth; Ritchie, Willock, Shelvey, Murphy; Almirón, Saint-Maximin; Wilson.

    Shambles. Total shambles.

    I could have told you the result earlier based purely on the fact I have triple Leicester

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Who else have you got

        1. WVA
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Triple United and triple Liverpool but they'll do OK as everyone else has them.

            How does EVERYONE else have them? They don’t

            1. WVA
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Most people playing seriously have TAA Salah Jota Bruno Shaw Greenwood etc, certainly all my rivals do

                3 years, 5 months ago

                But that’s what they’re gonna do isn’t it to ge the most points like we all do? If they all do well then we do well too, fringe players make up the difference around that etc.

                  • 8 Years
                  3 years, 5 months ago

                  Yes of course but my fringe players like Vardy and Castagne don't do anything

        Only way to beat Schmeichel is top corner!

        Leicester doing everything to lose that that CL place. Should be 0-5 allready.

        3. FPL Daniel
          • 15 Years

          Wilcock could be decent option next season

          Leicester the ultimate chokers

          Going to lose the next 3 too and finish outside top 4

          1. Bushwhacker
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I'm not sure anyone else can make it tbh. They'll get through by default as United did last year.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Through by default? In United's last 14 games, they won 9 and drew 5. That wasn't wasn't getting through by default.

        8. Tcheco
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Ditched Iheanacho for DCL plz don't score lad

          Why do I have Castagne?

            • 13 Years

            Because you love to chase points?

              3 years, 5 months ago

              An open game definitely is a good watch. I would prefer this over any of those boring 0-0 United games.

          3 years, 5 months ago

          LOL. Got to love Sky talking about the "beauty of the PL and the beauty of fair competition"

          A Leicester flop tonight and it would help the English teams who were going into the ESL. With Leicester still to play Man Utd, Chelsea and Spurs.

          1. Nightcrawler
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Sky are embarrassing.

            • 5 Years

            Can we move on to bashing UEFA for the ludicrous CL format yet? Giving them a free pass unless you didn't notice.

            1. diesel001
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Because UEFA, like Sky, are also desperate for money. They will do anything to keep the clubs that actually generate the revenues in the CL.

          In hindsight, so many reasons to avoid Vardy and Castagne this week, yet here we are!

        15. OPTA FPL

          Vardy Maddison should be off if they watn to win ffs, they are playing like 9 vs 11

          1. Royal5
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Vardy is done at this level imo

            1. Eh, just one more thing ...
              • 12 Years

          Well at least the top 4 race will be interesting.

          Spurs not out of it - fascinating GW38 match that potentially.

          Crazy league and end of the league.

          This was one of the 2 or 3 most likely wins out of 15 games.....

          Still think a Leicester goal could change it but they ate defending like league 2

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              3 years, 5 months ago

              A Leicester goal could change it, top tipping Michael Owen!

            Maddison in an interview recently compared himself with Grealish and Mount!
