2pm team news: Richarlison starts, Maddison and White miss out

Double Gameweek 36 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on Sunday with Arsenal v Leeds United, Leicester City v Everton and Norwich City v West Ham United.

All three fixtures kick-off at 14:00 BST, with Manchester City v Newcastle United to follow later on.

The big FPL team news arrives at the King Power Stadium, where James Maddison is absent from the matchday squad.

Brendan Rodgers, meanwhile, freshens up his side following Thursday’s exit to Roma in the Europa Conference League semi-finals, with only five players – Kasper Schmeichel, Jonny Evans, Wesley Fofana, Youri Tielemans and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – retaining their places.

Everton name an unchanged XI following their 1-0 win over Chelsea in Gameweeek 35. That means Richarlison is fit to start despite suffering from some soreness in his ankle.

At the Emirates, Mikel Arteta makes just the one change, with Cedric Soares coming in at left-back in place of Nuno Tavares, who drops to the bench. That means Ben White misses out once again because of a tight hamstring.

For the visitors, Diego Llorente returns at centre-back in place of Pascal Struijk. That’s one of three changes, with Daniel James and Joe Gelhardt also in for the injured Stuart Dallas and Rodrigo.

Norwich’s only alteration sees Jacob Sorensen replace Mathias Normann.

As for West Ham, they have made two changes from their Europa League defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt, with Lukasz Fabianski and Said Benrahma coming in for Alphonse Areola and Tomas Soucek.

      The first thing I do when I start a new Arsenal career mode on Fifa is sell Nketiah and give Lacazette a new contract

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 8 days ago

        If you wait another season, you could sell Nketiah for 50m

        1. Random Name
          • 8 Years

          does he get into any other top 6 side?

            Are you including Chelsea and United in the top six? Or West Ham?

      I've totally forgot that I have Pukki. Thought to myself "this Nor v WH match is irrelevant for me". How wrong was I. Need a Pukki goal.

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 8 days ago

        Pukki and Krul for me. Just accepted I'm playing with 9 this week. Oh and Tavares and Mount. Better make it 7.

        1. JBG
          • 6 Years

          Utd in the conference league would be a bonus

          1. Deulofail
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 8 days ago

            This is the problem!! No matter what they do they get a bonus. Money money money smh

            • 2 Years

            I’m neutral but personally feel they should get some sort of invite to Champions League based on heritage and history

              Say what you like but diving is exhausting

            • DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 8 days ago

              Always looks like that bit like Chris Waddle

              1. Hairy Potter
                • 9 Years
                2 years, 8 days ago

                Waddler never dived as much and had luscious enough locks to have 3 hairstyles at the same time.

            • Rainer

              Early morning swimming lessons taking their toll.

            KDH struggling

            • 8 Years

            Can't wait for a Bellerin to come back

          5. Sandy Ravage
            • 8 Years

            Arsenal players shook after the early tackles

            3 nil West Ham United

                3rd* he got the TBC.

                3rd assist

                • 8 Years
                2 years, 8 days ago

                Bowen assist master.

                Think that's his third today.

                1. Hazz
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 6 Years
                  2 years, 8 days ago

                  Overtaken Salah comfortably now.

              • DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
                • 10 Years
                2 years, 8 days ago

                Should have been on any free hit team

            2. Sun Jihai
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 8 days ago

              Can definitely see Sonny snatching golden boot with Norwich still to go! Wonder if Kane would give him pens?

              1. @persecuted_by_mods
                  2 years, 8 days ago

                  I think he would but only if the difference is literally 1

                • Mighty Banana
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 4 Years
                  2 years, 8 days ago

                  I doubt it's his choice.

                • Paqueta Rice
                  • 3 Years
                  2 years, 8 days ago

                  I’d say Kane will almost certainly give him pens

                • Ruinenlust
                  • 6 Years
                  2 years, 8 days ago

                  Unlike Palah, Son doesn’t need penalties to score goals

                • Arteta
                  • 8 Years
                  2 years, 8 days ago

                  He won't keep up scoring with almost every goalscoring opportunity he gets. It's simply unsustainable.

                  1. Arteta
                    • 8 Years
                    2 years, 8 days ago

                    I can't see Kane giving up penalties either.

                    1. Old Man
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 12 Years
                      2 years, 8 days ago

                      I can - I think they shar e a good footballing relationship and he'd not be selfish enough to deny Son a chance of the GB.

                      1. Old Man
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 8 days ago

                        Caveat: unless there was a Champions League position on the line.

                  2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
                    • 3 Years
                    2 years, 8 days ago

                    Haven't we been saying this for years?

                  3. Sun Jihai
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 12 Years
                    2 years, 8 days ago

                    6/1 on him getting golden boot currently feels tempting though with Norwich still to play!

                  4. Zimo
                    • 5 Years
                    2 years, 8 days ago

                    I think after 6 years we can say it's sustainable

                  • 7 Years
                  2 years, 8 days ago

                  Give pens? Are we talking about the same guy who swore on his kid that he scored a dubious goal.

                • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
                  • 14 Years
                  2 years, 8 days ago

                  Kane ain’t giving up pens

                  Man is willing to swear on his own family it’s his goal even when he didn’t touch the ball so son ain’t getting pens

                  1. @persecuted_by_mods
                      2 years, 8 days ago

                      I think he would but it would need to be like son is level on goals or 1 behind Salah otherwise no chance

                      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
                        • 14 Years
                        2 years, 8 days ago

                        It would be interesting if that situation occurred but i still think Kane steps up and takes it lol

                  2 years, 8 days ago

                  I thought Broja to Pukki might be a slight upgrade, instead it turns out to be more money wasted on useless rubbish

                    I did the same. Trying to be clever. I'd planned all week to get Nketiah, but then realised I had cash for Pukki. It's just about possible I may have got that wrong...

                    Not off yet but was struggling. Could see him being subbed.

                  Holgate and Nketiah repaying the -12 nicely!

                    Cheers mate, same here with -12. Richarlison & Foster too worked out nicely for me.

                      Just afraid of rotation and fatigue after Europe competition, that's what put me off

                  Cant believe those Everton rats are going to escape relegation. Does my head in.

                    If they win this, might even be safe.

                    Will be hard for Bur/Lee to pick up points now. Leeds down on goal difference out of the two?

                      I can’t see Leeds winning another match, all teams in form. Burnley might but nothing easy. May be the same points as now so yes, Burnley saved by goal difference. Got to credit Lampard for pulling Everton through (probably)

                    At what minute will Ramsdale mess up the clean sheet?

                      10th minute of the match on Thursday

                      I think even Arsenal won’t lose the CS here against a 10 man Leeds. FPL may as well as the 4 points now.

                    Really need Saka and Martinelli goals

                      Saka captain?

                        Nope but main rival doesnt own him

                    Rival in the mud with Bowen on the bench

                    FH as well. Could have downgraded his bench to get TAA over Castagne

                      Anyone who benches a player against Norwich isn't much of a rival

                      1. Deulofail

                        2 years, 8 days ago

                        He's beating me by like 70+ points 😀

                        Would you have got Bowen on a FH this week? I wouldn't

                      Doesn't seem like much of a rival
