Gameweek 30 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on Sunday with Leicester City v Brentford at the King Power Stadium.

Kick-off is at 14:00 GMT.

Brendan Rodgers makes four changes from the team that started at Rennes in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday.

Caglar Soyuncu, Timothy Castagne, Nampalys Mendy and James Maddison all come into the starting XI, with Wesley Fofana, Luke Thomas, Wilfred Ndidi (knee) and Marc Albrighton (groin) dropping out.

Popular Fantasy picks James Maddison and Harvey Barnes support Kelechi Iheanacho up front, while Ricardo Pereira and Patson Daka are named as substitutes.

As for Brentford, Christian Eriksen misses out having tested positive for Covid-19, with Mathias Jensen replacing him in the Bees engine room.

That’s one of Thomas Frank’s two changes, with Yoane Wissa also coming in for Sergi Canos, who drops to the bench.

Ivan Toney – who has seven goals in his last five Premier League outings – leads the line as expected.

GAMEWEEK 30 LINE-UPS

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Justin, Amartey, Soyuncu, Castagne, Mendy, Tielemans, Dewsbury-Hall, Maddison, Barnes, Iheanacho

Subs: Jakupovic, Evans, Perez, Choudhury, Pereira, Vestergaard, Daka, Thomas, Soumare

Brentford XI: Raya, Ajer, Jansson, Pinnock, Henry, Norgaard, Janelt, Jensen, Mbeumo, Wissa, Toney

Subs: Fernandez, Canos, Onyeka, Jorgensen, Baptiste, Fosu-Henry, Sorensen, Roerslev, Young-Coombes

    Pereira was the darling on here wasn’t he.
    Oh well, my own fault for picking him, hopefully worst case a one pointer, or two points for Cash taking his place

    Some idiot on here was saying he met Ivan Toney at Cheltenham earlier this week. This guy was told that Toney was carrying a knee injury and wouldn't be playing vs Leicester.

    Doesn't affect me as I never had any intention to bring in Toney, but shows how this 'information flow' stuff can be manipulated.

      I saw Ivan Toney at a grocery store in Brentford yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

      He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

      I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

      The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

      When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

          Just a blanket rule of not being able to appeal YCs as the system would become too bureaucratic with a lot of decisions happening off-field after the event
          Do think they could maybe have an exception to the rule for reds that are 2nd yellows though
          Still it’s crazy that Jim got send off for that while Sanchez didn’t even get a card for the Luis Diaz challenge the previous week!
