Antonio the most-owned player on show for West Ham v Leicester

Fantasy Premier League’s (FPL) second-most popular forward, Michail Antonio (£7.6m), starts as West Ham United take on Leicester City in the first Monday night football fixture of the new season.

There are no real shocks in either line-up, with both sides unchanged from Gameweek 1.

At West Ham, Vladimir Coufal (£5.0m) and Aaron Cresswell (£5.5m) both start in defence, with Jarrod Bowen (£6.5m), Said Benrahma (£6.1m) and Pablo Fornals (£6.0m) lining up behind Antonio in David Moyes’ 4-2-3-1 formation.

Arthur Masuaku (£4.5m) remains out with a knee problem.

As for Leicester, Harvey Barnes (£7.0m) – owned by 11.3% of FPL managers – starts for the visitors, alongside James Maddison (£6.9m), Jamie Vardy (£10.5m) and £4.0m defender Daniel Amartey.

Ryan Bertrand (£4.9m) is still unavailable due to the positive test that also caused him to miss last week’s match with Wolverhampton Wanderers, while new signing Jannik Vestergaard (£5.0m) has picked up an injury in training and is not included in the squad.

Kick-off at the London Stadium is at 20:00 BST.

    Great start of the season but having Tsmikas Omobamidele and White I’m in trouble for next round. 2 FT and 0m in bank. Best option?

    A Omobamidele to Livramento and save transfer
    B Mahrez to Greenwood and Omobamidele to nailed 4,5m defender (then who?)

      In a similar position with Tsimi, Amartey and White. Thinking of Tsimi > Liv maybe or downgrading Barnes to Benny and then Tsimi to 5.0 if he rises tonight

        Not really they're playing away and he's had 0 goal threat in two games. Not risky at all. He could get some points but he'll go down in price and he won't get double digits
