Following on from the goalless draw at Anfield, four more Premier League matches get underway at the traditional Saturday afternoon kick-off time.

Leicester City v Brighton and Hove Albion is the stand-out fixture from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective, with interest in the free-scoring visitors heightened in recent weeks.

James Maddison is back on the bench for the hosts, who swap out Wilfred Ndidi and Marc Albrighton for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Dennis Praet.

There are two changes for Brighton, too, one of which sees Danny Welbeck start in place of budget FPL forward Evan Ferguson. Jan Paul van Hecke also makes his first Premier League start in place of defender Levi Colwill, who is out with a muscular injury.

It’s one change apiece at St Mary’s: Adam Armstrong replaces Mohamed Elyounoussi for the hosts, while new Aston Villa signing Alex Moreno is handed his full debut in place of the injured Lucas Digne.

Danny Ings is on the bench for new club West Ham as David Moyes recalls Kurt Zouma, Said Benrahma and Emerson Palmieri for Aaron Cresswell, Tomas Soucek and Pablo Fornals.

Yerry Mina for Ben Godfrey is Everton’s only change.

Among Bournemouth’s five changes is a debut for winger Dango Ouattara.

Nottingham Forest also hand a first start to a new acquisition: Chris Wood replaces Gustavo Scarpa up top.

Injured goalkeeper Dean Henderson is replaced by Wayne Hennessey, while Willy Boly makes a very swift recovery and comes in for Scott McKenna.

    Five games no players

    1. gart888
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Yeah, this is a bit of a stinker of a Saturay afternoon lineup.

      Going to take the dog out and try to catch the Newcastle match.

    2. Going Home
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Today there are six games and I have two players in total. And trippier is past even counting as a player anymore

  2. Rainer

    2 years, 12 months ago

    West Ham vs Everton on TV with absolutely no FPL implications while still being a massive game is nice for a change!

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Huge game, inevitable that both managers will soon be gone though

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Battle of the Sack

        1. Zenith UK
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          El Sackio

        2. Jafooli
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          And Battle of the Kak

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        El Shitico to El Sackico!

    2. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      On TV? Guessing you live outside the UK. Gutted I can't watch it (West Ham fan)

  3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Rashford(TC)?

    1. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Yes

  4. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    That Leicester starting lineup is shockingly bad.

  5. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    To whomever told me to not do Robbo > Burn. I apologise. This literally sums up my season and of course he has Wolves and Everton next. *sigh*

  6. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    How many points will Ward get?

    A. 1
    B. 2
    C. 3

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I’m going 2

    2. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Now that I benched Kepa. Definitely 1.

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      More than DDG as I’m starting DDG

    4. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      A

    5. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      1 would be 1 more than I'm expecting

  7. Going Home
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Kulu to Fernandes for free? Three United and zero Leeds. And keeps KDB for the DGW the week after.

    Y or N?

    1. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Yes but 2 weeks until deadline so wait

      1. Going Home
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        It leaves 0.6 so literally can’t be forced into it for price. Also obviously the slim chance that the DGW doesn’t happen

  8. dshv
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Only three newcastle players today and kepa … boooring

    1. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Atleast you played kepa!

    2. Going Home
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Kepa and Trippier for me. Day is basically done from an FPL perspective

    3. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Kepa tripp botman Almiron

  9. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Mitoma vs March

  10. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Leicester set up well here, not a gimme for Brighton

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Reminds me of their shape v City. Wonder if they're about to flip the switch & suddenly become solid again

  11. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Nice MGW SoT

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Got your reply today mate, cheers for that info regarding Aurier! 😉

      Well, started with Kepa points on my bench already today haha! Ah well, hope Ederson can at least keep Wolves out.

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Got Kepa on my bench as well. Not bothered, as I know I'd have picked Sanchez 9 times out of 10 without hindsight

        Any time! Forest already look good vs Bournemouth here 🙂

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      How many games are you watching? Just that one?

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Goal Rush on SuperSport in Nigeria

  12. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Let's go Aurier!

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Same man! Fingers crossed! Would love a goal from him!

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Yep, he's been very dangerous when I've watched him.

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Might put that game on actually, got Brighton on at the mo

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Goal ruled out...sorry Yates owners, I feel for you

      1. Shultan
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Ah OK don't need to check which tesm he plays for

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Literally everyone

    3. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Who does he play for

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Forest 😀

  14. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Operation "Target Bournemouth" continues. That was a very easy set-piece goal

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Rules out

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Ruled out by VAR - offside

  15. The Ilfordian
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Is it too much to ask for a double digit haul from Mings?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Considering he's only had one all season (10pts) I think it might be.

  16. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Fabio Borges got rid of Trippier on World Cup WC … surprising.

  17. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Imagine if we get 5 0-0s by 5pm!

    1. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      70 more minutes to go

  18. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    How's March looking

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      ?

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Not had any touches in the box.

        Very wide

        1. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Cheers

    2. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Can't do March but could do April...

    3. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      The Ides of March

  19. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    If you were forced to sell either trippier or haaland who would you sell?

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Are you being threatened / blackmailed? Should we send help?

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I'd just get the ransom together.

    3. Unliklinho
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Is this a real thing or hypothetical?
      I'm waiting to see who performs better this week between Haaland or Mahrez as to who I might bench in GW22.
      Tripps been more reliable overall.

      1. Shultan
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Hypothetical question

    4. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Haaland without a doubt

    5. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Trippier, then buy Botman or Pope

    6. jammie26
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Why on earth would you sell either of them

  20. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Okay … where’s the first goal landing in the 3pm games?

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Soton

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Brighton 36th. Lallana or Welbz

    3. Gudjohnsen
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      West Ham will score the first goal

    4. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      That didn’t take long

    5. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Brighton

  21. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    All goals cancelled today

  22. Gudjohnsen
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    March won't play Liverpool every week.

  23. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    30 min gone, not even a yc on sight

  24. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    What a Goal ?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Mitoma bandwagon

  25. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Mitoma G

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Signs all pointed to returns from him today. Dithered over Almiron out but eh. Annoying. Do want him

  26. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Golazo

  27. Gudjohnsen
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Mitoma was the rignt call

    March was points chasing

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      That's one out of 100.

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
