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.

  13. Paganoi
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Funniest thing I've seen in years. Mitoma stands on Caicedo's foot during the goal celebration but Lallana gets injured. Sounds about right.

  14. A. PRISE
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Don't get Mitoma they said. He has a blank gw they said

    1. Hy liverpool

      1. A. PRISE
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Seriously? Ben Crellin and Andy come to mind but I can bring up more examples if these aren't enough

        1. Bartowski
          • 15 Years

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

      Shocked that so called experts didn’t even mention him

  19. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Yes! Pereira to Mitoma paid off.

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

      Not yet?

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

        Considering I would not have played Andreas this GW, yes it did. Shaw over him.

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          What if Andreas scores two goals?

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      you can't know that until Andreas has played

  20. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Been wanting to bring in Mitoma for weeks but had much bigger fires to put out, pain!

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

    Selling Cucu for Estupinian working out well so far

  22. Geriatric Unathletic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Estupinian or Aurier???? Of course I brought in Aurier as didn't want a potential blanker. Sad me :(.

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

    Yates header cleared off the line … ooft …

  24. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Forest close

  25. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    The prevailing wisdom on the FPL 'content providers' plus the bookmakers was that leicster had a slightly better chance at a cleanie than Chelsea. So I play Ward over Kepa. What is the effing point in spending time on this game if the 'experts' can't call it any more than the casuals?

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

      The point is to make informed decisions, but follow your own instinct. Also to recognize that nobody ever predicts this game accurately.

  26. Free Hat
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Brighton one of the most in form teams.
    Playing leic,bou,cry,fulham before gw 25.
    Cheap mids.
    And still lot of creators saying better to hold off transfer because they 'might' blank. Seems bit too early with still 4 gws to go imo.

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

      Silly planning that far into the future imo

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

      Yeah, get the points in the bag , worry bout blank when it happens
      To many times we avoid a player cause of a potential blank in a few. Gws, then keep or get ones who don’t, get 1-3 pters each week, still do nothing in a blank gw, while a mitoma or someone is banking and the pts

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

    Brighton are the new Leicester

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

    Lallana done. Mac 10, Groß into midfield

  29. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    This worth it GW22 martnelli to Rodrigo then GW23 Rodrigo to martnelli?

    1. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Probably not.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Ok what about Gaw22 mahrez to Rodrigo then reverse transfer GW23?

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

      Taking out an Arsenal attacker before playing Everton, great idea

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Yeh forgot that One!!
