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

    As it stands I’ve gone from 20k to 16k on freehit but still seems like some opportunities lost.

    Barnes is first on bench and I’ve gone with form over fixtures with Toney.

    Fair play to anyone that got both Barnes and Maddison and started them both, I’d have thought there was far more interest in double Spurs mids + Saka + one of Barnes/Maddison/Raphinha and playing three strikers.

    Need big hauls from Son and Kane this evening

      A good call that worked out.

      The punts are more random though. I think patience is a key attribute in FPL picks.

        Would you rather have Mount over Coutinho too?

          Yep.

          Coutinho's fixtures aren't great in the short/medium term. Buy back in GW34 if Villa's form improves.

    I went for Villa players over Arsenal on my FH but Maddison and Barnes are saving my bacon

      Still hurts seeing Saka and Gabriel on my bench

      Saints v City is looking like a fun game so far.

      Great intensity from the Saints.
