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.

      Not sure it's possible ; West Ham and Liverpool won't finish with max points.

      Great assists for Soyucu and Castagne though.

    On the back of such performance, won't be surprised that Leicester loses all their remaining matches... UCL dreams in smoke again

      Newcastle better get a 4th now and make it a SGW for Leicester defenders...

        Going all out on triple Leicester attack for the past few weeks has really helped my rank.
        Said me, never.

        3-3 final score. You heard it here first

        1. Les Bleus

          And last

      5. DycheDycheBaby

        Those without Bruno are getting worried now 🙁

        1. Les Bleus
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Why would they NOW get worried? They should have been worried from the moment it was know United had a TGW

          1. SAUCY SALAH
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Maybe punting on Leicester players instead like Vardy etc

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

          Why? He'll rest one, his form is awful.

        Glad I didn’t start ASM, blimey I’d be fuming - 3 goals and no involvement

        1. Party time
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Involved in the celebration

        2. Isco Disco

          Lot of people on here want Leicester or West Ham in the UCL next season haha
          What a joke! Guess Perez was right with creating ESL for teams playing high quality football throughout the season and not this crap.

          1. Les Bleus
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            How are Arsenal and Spurs doing this season?

            • 4 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I don’t understand. Why do you not want whoever gets top 4 to qualify?

          4. el polako
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            You're right, still can't decide who is playing more mesmerising football this season - Arsenal or Spurs ?

        3. KGFC
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Does it feel that LEI players are not passing to Vardy!!??

          1. Eh, just one more thing ...
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Don’t blame them, Vardy past it and washed up.

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

              True.. my fault for having him 🙁

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

            There's no ball over the top ; that's the only pass worthwhile to Vardy.

            Newcastle sitting deep, he's got no space to run in behind.

        4. BIG TONES

          Leicester seem to be a team that loses momentum at the back end of the season. Invest early next season

            They waited until I tripled up on them.

          When you're bringing on Ayoze Perez to change the game for you, you know you're in trouble.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Almiron gets Nacho booked.

          Souness and Lennon is an interesting punditry pairing. Wonder if the elephant in the room was addressed.

          Nacho's gone stale

            This is good, but Nightcrawler's below edges it.

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

          3 points from 3 Leicester players is the definition of a fail. Would have been better off with Dummett and Dubravka

            Yup, zero those Leicester defenders.
