Leicester v Palace team news: Daka again preferred over Vardy

A quieter-than-usual Saturday features only four Premier League matches, the first of which is Leicester City v Crystal Palace.

Kick-off at the King Power Stadium is at 12:30 BST.

There’s one change apiece for the two sides involved, with injury forcing Brendan Rodgers’ hand.

Daniel Amartey comes in at centre-half to replace Jonny Evans, who misses out with a calf strain.

Patson Daka leads the line again, with Jamie Vardy only among the substitutes.

Patrick Vieira’s only change from the victory over Leeds United sees Tyrick Mitchell come in at left-back, Jeffrey Schlupp move to midfield and Michael Olise drop to the bench.

James Maddison and Wilfried Zaha were both among the 10 most-bought midfielders of Gameweek 11, attracting over 530,000 transfers in between them.

Their Fantasy Premier League (FPL) ownerships are both now around the 20% mark as a result.

The pair have contrasting records against today’s opponents: Maddison has never scored against Palace, while Zaha has seven goals in his last nine appearances against the Foxes.

A reminder that a booking for Maddison today would see him miss Gameweek 12 through suspension, as it would be his fifth caution of the season.

GAMEWEEK 11 LINE-UPS

Leicester City XI: Ward, Justin, Faes, Amartey, Castagne, Dewsbury-Hall, Tielemans, Soumare, Barnes, Maddison, Daka.

Subs: Iversen, Soyuncu, Thomas, Mendy, Albrighton, Praet, Perez, Iheanacho, Vardy.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Doucoure, Eze, Schlupp, Zaha, Edouard, Ayew.

Subs: Johnstone, Balmer, Tomkins, Milivojevic, Riedewald, Ebiowei, Olise, Gordon, Mateta.

        Mitro has less EO than Toney this week, not as huge a deal as it's made to be.

        Obviously would rather have the Mitro mins though! Just glad he should be fit for GW12 really.

                Likewise, although I was perhaps punting on Trossard for KDB anyway.

                Luckily I saved 2 FT for this exact scenario. Have 10 with a fixture - only Maddison & KDB to ship.

                Would be beneficial to hear Aurier missing out due to a knock given Neco is in my team...

                  Been chasing my tail for the last few weeks with injuries and hence no chance of the 2 free for next week. Well played bud, I don’t do jealousy but fair to say I’m slightly envious of anyone with 2 free for next week.

        Must be an algo thing - FPLReview kept suggesting bringing Dunk in and Andreas having more xMins than Mitro, hence the likes of: https://twitter.com/FPL_Salah/status/1580971809456783361?s=20&t=U-4X2-9O8d5CKREEuYMb7A

          I don't follow any of them or an algo and started Pereira and benched Mitro. And I would do the same thing again presented with the info we got.

            Yeah I don't think this one is really on "the algo".

            Silva was coming up with some very pessimistic wording so only natural assume he'd miss out again. Andreas getting a return last week has obviously influenced some decisions (including my own).

            RE: Dunk over CRY/LEI defenders.. Well yes obviously. I don't think many saw this as a 0-0. Just chance really. When you take into account GW12 a BHA defender an okay enough punt. Could go the other way next GW.

              That's a good point; benching Andreas points last week definitely impacted my decision.

      Two weeks ago i was thinking that I would let my wildcard go, or just use it on the week before the WC as a free hit.

      Then Mitrovic and Diaz got injured, Trent was losing value and I had three Arsenal and Man City players, so used it last week.

      Now I have six players.
      Ward
      Anderson, Perisic
      Zaha, Trossard,
      Wilson

      James injured, Maddison suspended, don't know who 'Zanka' is and five more Arsenal/City - who I was intending to get down to three.
