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.

    What has actually happened to Leicester though? They were looking great a few weeks ago, arguably had the best fixtures, lot's to play for etc, it can't just be that I tripled up on my WC that made them go this bad? I mean last week against 10 man Saint's was horrific!

      Yes, it was all down to you.

        I think the double Barnes/Maddison injuries threw them a bit.
        Then seems like having too many defenders available has caused confusion.
        It’s weird.

      Dubravka is about to be this GW's top scoring player... would be typical of this season at this point

      Vardy has been such a fail. Wish I had -4 to DCL

        3 years, 5 months ago

        It was a punt with ok fixtures and a known double.

        I’m hating myself for it but it wasn’t a bad punt.

        Late goal here and 2 returns in next game and all good

    15. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE JEFF

    17. Rainer
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Can’t believe Newcastle weren’t more popular with Free Hitters...

    18. Dirty_Harry
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      This is the reason why I'm the only one who owns Castagne in my mini league isn't it. Punished.

    19. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      This is a weird league

    20. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Was very tempted to captain Nacho, but then I'm a sheep. Baaaahhh

    21. TheDragon
      • 6 Years

      Newcastle are hilarious,

      Have a decent first 8-10 weeks, take the next 20 weeks off barely try and play the worst football ever seen, try for the last 8 weeks and finish mid table

      Awesome

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Almost lines up with ASM injury/form.
        Now with Willock and Wilson and ASM they look fun.

      2. Calderano FC

        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        So this result basically blows the UTD TGW out of the water then... UTD rests and rotation incoming.

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

          That was already happening.

          1. Mr Bird
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I know. It’s why I capped Salah. Even more so now though!

      3. Neevesy
        • 8 Years

      4. BIG TONES
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Not guna lie, Wilson and Saint-Maximin make this Newcastle team decent

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

          Points return since both have come back from injury too...

      5. Sandy Ravage
