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.

        Nice extra point

      2. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Underrated player.

    11. Dammit_182

      Anyone swop out ramsdale for a hit this week? Was tempted but thought gunners could at least keep Leeds out!

    12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years

      Martinelli cramp

      Tavares assist

      Conceding to 10men Leeds Jesus Christ

    14. Hairy Potter
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Wilson and Trippier make the bench for Newcastle. Probably the only positive I'm expecting today as a Newcastle fan.

    15. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Typical FPL if Sterling hauls today

      1. ZimZalabim
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        sold for kdb after 2 blanks

    16. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Sterling to Mahrez(-4). Of course Pep bench Mahrez.

      1. TyroneGAA
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Why did you do that to free up funds or something?

      2. mixology
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        I swear if Sterling hauls...

        Took him out on a FH. Went Mahrez over KDB this week as not to downgrade other players. Nervous!

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          He's obviously going to haul. Just accept it now.

          1. mixology
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            I think KDB will. That's my worry

      3. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        A bit sideways for -4. Both likely to start one, bench one and both streaky players with hauls.

    17. putana
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      arsenal are embarrassing. Struggling to put away a 10 men leeds

    18. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years

    19. Ruinenlust
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      1. fplgaruda
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        100% haul coming.

    20. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I give up on Pep. Thought he would start Mahrez.

      1. Josh.E
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        You thought that’s why

    21. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Rondon on.

    22. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Saka blank. Love to see it.

    23. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Ramsdale has been an absolute disaster pick. Besides GW 29 there’s been nothing but blanks since I brought him in .

    24. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Chances of Maddison not playing the second game?

      Ermm need some jam

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        0 unless he's injured

      2. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Depends how bad his hip is.

        Nothing to play for helps the no-show chances.
