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.

    How Welbeck starts ahead of Ferguson is beyond me

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

      would've hauled today

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

      Welbeck played for MU and Arsenal. Probably only reason.

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

    Go on, Brighton!

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

    YES FERGUS

  9. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Evan Ferguson scoresssss!!

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

    God Damn it, to think I did Estupinan > Aurier as a final change, eurghh!

  11. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    So taking a -4 to get Ferguson in for Greenwood would've paid itself off after all

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

    Yeah I'm going to WC this next GW, just get rid off Ward.

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

      Leicester defense looked good today. They will now go on a run of clean sheets. Keep Ward.

  13. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

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

    Ward needs 1 more save for a monster haul

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

      2 saves. Nosebleed territory.

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

        Been benching Ward last few weeks so feels good to get his point again

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

    Irish Haaland is coming for Shearer's record!

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

    WTF Ward?

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

      Has he made a save?

  17. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years

    Ward 1 pointer it is.

  18. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Where was the person posting early saying Estupinan fail haha

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

      I asked the question, didn't state is as a fact. I have him so luaghing all the way to the PL bank

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

      Didn't realise he got the first assist

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

    Almost benched Estupinian

  20. D One
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    sold Cucurella for Estupinan

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

      Same here, worked out in the end

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

    Almiron to punish sellers with a brace

  22. Free Hat

    Not smart MC alli

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

    Leicester back to playing the way they get cs, so Ward is a keep. Brighton's goals are wonderstrikes which not goes in more than once out of 100 and one big chance against one of the best attack.

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

      Agree. Ward starters unlucky this week, but we go again.

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

      Yep, keeping Ward but still starting Kepa against teams like Liverpool (as today) 🙂

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

    Is everyone gonna get on the Gnonto train with me?

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

      Gnonto so sure

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Yes but to early for that 2 weeks to next GW 🙁

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

        Yup I'm gonna wait till double is certain to happen. Then Salah and Greenwood to Bruno and Gnonto time.

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

          Cheers

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

      Leeds haven't won a game since the restart, and all Gnonto has done during that time is get booked.
      So, nah, you're good.

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

        If every player did well in every week then we'd all have the same starting 11 😉 can't really fault Leeds when they have to face Newcastle and Man City in 2 games and then Gnonto scored against West Ham.

  25. Pukki Party
    • 8 Years

    Expected start to the gameweek with 2 from 2. Thanks Ward and Darwin absolutely useless. It's like eating the salad or veggies before even touching the steak lol

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

        Board busy saving their own skins

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

      Wonderful player but his future is not in management.

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

        This

  27. FPL Daniel

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years

  29. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    1pt for Ward. Extreme punishment for those who went Ward over Kepa. Harsh.

    • 15 Years

    What the hell was the Soton goal disallowed for?

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

      There was a foul and push in the build-up

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

        There was a tap on the shoulder and a very obvious dive more like.
