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.

      At least he managed a goal.

  2. Hairy Potter

    If Everton do stay up, does Lampard deserve any credit or should they have been safe anyway?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 days ago

      Didn't he take over them in 15th with a lot of games in hand?

    2. COLLIN QUANER
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 days ago

      No credit. They were safe when he took the job and he has made them unsafe

    3. Random Name
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 days ago

      If anyone can relegate a club that's been in the top flight for 80 years it's Lampard

    4. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 days ago

      He made them worse

    5. fplgaruda

      For what?
      For bringing vdb and alli?

      1. TyroneGAA
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 8 days ago

        He didn’t make them worse they where rock bottom when he took over they couldn’t win a game at all since then beat Chelsea and utd

    6. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 days ago

      Zero credit, they were safe before he dragged them down

    7. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 days ago

      We were absolutely woeful for ages before he came in.

      Since he’s been at the club, there’s only been a few really bad performances.

      More good than bad I’d say.

  3. Royal5
    • 12 Years

    Flappy

  4. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Hopefully the MEN predicted City line-up with no Laporte isn’t correct!

    Predicted City starting XI to face Newcastle United: Ederson; Cancelo, Dias, Ake, Zinchenko; Rodri, De Bruyne, Silva; Grealish, Foden, Mahrez.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 days ago

      Just a guess.

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

        Yep, only 20 minutes until SCENES

    2. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 days ago

      No Jesus

    3. TyroneGAA
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 days ago

      I will fail miserably then.. brought in Jesus Laporte also have mount Maddison lol

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 8 days ago

        Is Maddison injured?

    4. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 days ago

      No Sterling. Given he’s well rested, that’s not a vote of confidence

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

      It's a predicted line-up. They aren't ITK

    6. Random Name
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 days ago

      A well rested de bruyne and Mahrez

    7. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 8 days ago

      Wow, no Laporte is massive

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 8 days ago

        Lol it's only a prediction

        1. Grande Tubarão
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 8 days ago

          Yeah, definitely - MEN’s predictions tend to be very good though

    8. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 days ago

      Not surprised by Laporte possibly not playing I was prepared for that. However I am surprised if foden plays as I wasn’t expecting a start this game

  5. George James
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 days ago

    Does Ben white get his place back?

    1. Random Name
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 days ago

      our fans are losing the plot

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

        I had the feeling that George was a Chelsea fan. I think he just means before the end of the season, coming back from injury, with Holding being a reasonable placeholder.

        1. George James
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 8 days ago

          Correct Chelsea fan.

          Have white in fpl team and looking to BB next week. May have to sell

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

      Probably, but it's not certain. Could go to right-back as well

  6. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 8 days ago

    Been a huge Laca fan over the years but I've hardly ever seen a striker look less likely to score goals than him this season. Completely lost all confidence .

    Arsenal would not have won the recent tough games without nketiah up top

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

      I don't think he lost confidence. He's still been playing well and much better for the team than Auba has been this season. Arsenal absolutely could have won these games with Lacazette. You can't know otherwise. He's been giving his all and setting a could example as a captain. He still has a lot of quality, but not enough pace to spearhead counterattacks. So the onus for scoring is more on others, with Saka and ESR, especially, showing this season that they can deliver in front of goal.

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 8 days ago

        He has a few good games and the only thing he was really good for was link up play which relied on others producing a good finish. That's not good enough for arsenal

        There was no way Laca would have scored the two nketiah goals against Chelsea simply down to his lack of pace

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

          I'm not saying he would have scored the same exact goals as Nketiah...

  7. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 8 days ago

    Anyone know anyone who capt Nketiah?

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

      No-one in the top 10k (though 5 did cap Alonso!)
      I’m sure there’s an Egyptian team with him cap though alongside triple Brentford defence, Trosssard, Lukaku and Benrahma

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

    How does Martinelli only have an assist from this game

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

      Exactly. And where’s the anticipated rout we were promised half an hour ago

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 8 Years

        Saving themselves for Spurs

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

      Some goals would be good to close the goal difference. Arsenal rarely blow teams away, unfotununately.

  11. Casualspotted

    Saka is terrible today

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Probably will turn up next GW to punish FHers again

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years

        Looking forward to it

  12. Rainer

    Martinelli huge miss.

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

      Should do better. Not looking like the next Ronaldo with finishes like that

      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 days ago

      I do understand damage limitation, but regarding goal difference Everton are the closest team to Leeds and before the games started Leeds were still 14 goals worse off. Is it really worthwhile taking off Gelhardt when you've gone a man down so you can sit back and try not concede more instead of going for something?
