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.

    1. Free Hat
      • 6 Years

      Must be a drone deal

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years

  11. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Play has resumed at Southampton.

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

      How will they tell the difference?

  12. SpaceCoyote97
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Everton are absolutely horrendous. This isn't just a Lampard issue at this point, but getting rid of him is a good first step (should have gone around the time Gerrard went from Villa).

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

      Lampard doesn’t have a future in coaching unfortunately. He’s had ample chances to prove himself and yet he’s never excelled in any position.

      1. SpaceCoyote97
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        He needs a League 1 or 2 side. He's certainly not Premiership material at the moment.

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Get Steve Bruce in, to get them out of the Championship.

  13. I Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    KDB, Rashford, Odegaard, Martinelli, Mitoma
    Haaland, Kane, Martial

    If Martial is fit I have to bench KDB or Kane don't I?

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

      Martial is not fit

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

        Next game is in about 2 weeks tbf.

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

          Ah yes true. He will probably be injured again.

    2. AARON-1
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Not really

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

      Martinelli?

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

    Game of Drones

  15. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    FINALLY patience in Bowen pays off!

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

      You got him in your 6th team?

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        I don’t have him, just saying patience paying off for owners!

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

      Found an extra team unchanged since last season?

  16. Glasner Ball
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Poor Frank, he keeps losing via fluke and average goals like he did 4-0 against us https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB3C0mjy6T4&t=14s

    1. SpaceCoyote97
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      This isn't fluke, but also not entirely a Lampard issue. Maupay has been horrifically bad for Everton, and very few players stand out.

  17. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Chelsea interested in buying Leonardrone Trossard

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

      His name's Leandrone...

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

    So my choice was JWP, MGS or March.

    Who’ll score more?

    I went March

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

    *checks for Ward saves*

    ............................................

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

      If you complain about ward so much, why on earth is he still in your team

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

        Touche

  20. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Ward over Kepa...

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

      Kepa over Ward. (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ

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

      Why? Even I started Kepa.

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

        Clean sheet odds

      2. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        I thought it was the logic decision.I also believed that it's a final for Leicester.

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

      Haven't you seen Liverpool recently?

  21. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Just saw the Mitoma goal...

    Woohoooo..

    Hard not to play him every week...

  22. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Typical, went for March over Mitoma 🙁

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

      Same.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      What about your 7th team? Surely you hedged?

  23. Jordan.

    2 years, 12 months ago

    Salah 3
    Darwin 1
    March 1
    Ward 1

    Anyone have a worse week than me?

    1. bombonera
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      March is on 1 because he's only played 45 minutes so far

      1. Our Tiny Windows
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        I actually missed that. I’m very distracted today.

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

      Decent haul from Salah though.

  25. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Jesus Christ. Az have Mitoma captain!

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Yes because of some Voodoo doll in Mexico !

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

        Can see his big smile on the beach.

  26. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Transferred out KDB for Mahrez last night...spur of the moment...probably not a good move...

    But then again, why not? Kdb not exactly lighting it up...

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      KDB will light it up this GW though

      1. Make FPL Casual Again
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        No signs of that...

        Chance he's on bench agsin

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          That would be depressing

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

    Lampards last tango?

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

      Nope, he’ll be managing someone like Palace by the end of the season, saying it’s always been his dream to manage them….

    2. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Surely

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

        Shirley*

  28. Tambling5
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    After a fortnight break, Chelsea may have James Chilwell Kante Zaharia or Kovacic back, and if so Mudryck and Felix look more potent options than Mount and Havertz. Fixtures quite good too, tho a lot of London derbys.

  29. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    March goal any moment now!

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

      Chance just then

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

        Chance would be a fine thing
        A fine thing indeed

      It's still January mate.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        He broke that rule last week!

    3. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Not until March.
