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.

    Had a great start to the season but wanted advice on transfers. Honestly finding it hard to drop many here. Should I consider dropping White before a price drop? Any suggestions on who to bring in? Livramento is kind of tempting to be honest.

            Just didn’t fancy Barnes after watching him play last gw. Looked a bit off. Early subs doesn’t help as well.

            Sold Gundo as well as I think Grealish will be incredible value at that price and the most nailed City attacker for now.

            The hit worked out well.

    2 blanks from both Gundogan and Barnes whilst Jota and Benrahma have scored 16 and 24pts is galling to say the least and to add to that 2 blanks from Toney. There always has to be someone that continually lets you down.
