Relegation ‘six pointers’ don’t get much bigger than this, as Leicester City and Everton go head-to-head at the King Power Stadium on Monday.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

The Foxes picked up a point at Leeds United in Gameweek 33, thanks to Jamie Vardy’s late equaliser. He starts tonight in place of the injured Kelechi Iheanacho, who could miss the rest of the season after he sustained a groin injury at Elland Road.

Dean Smith makes two further changes elsewhere. Luke Thomas replaces Victor Kristiansen at left-back, while Wilfred Ndidi comes into midfield in place of Tete.

For the visitors, Sean Dyche makes two alterations, as Seamus Coleman and James Garner come into the starting XI for Ben Godfrey and Amadou Onana. That means Dominic Calvert-Lewin continues up front, flanked by Alex Iwobi and Dwight McNeil.

GAMEWEEK 34 LINE-UPS

Leicester City XI: Iversen, Castagne, Faes, Soyuncu, Thomas, Ndidi, Tielemans, Soumare, Maddison, Barnes, Vardy

Subs: Ward, Souttar, Kristiansen, Amartey, Daka, Dewsbury-Hall, Mendy, Praet, Tete

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Gueye, Garner, Doucoure, Iwobi, McNeil, Calvert-Lewin

Subs: Begovic, Patterson, Davies, Coady, Mina, Onana, Simms, Gray, Maupay

    Soyu Vardy and DCL has scored

    Maddison the gift that keeps on giving for his long term owners(since "FPL experts" vomited their "expert" opinion on bringing him in)

    1. FISSH

      so glad i sold him

      Don’t get why people slate “experts” while visiting and commenting on a site ran by “experts”

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        Aren't we all experts on here?

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Only those with a formal qualification.

          I'm hoping to finish my FPL masters this year. My dissertation is on budget defender rotations, and quantifying how much their value increases by hitting more favourable fixtures.

        I'm mostly here for sharing the banter among rival fans and football discussions.

          Check page 1, re: Rice

      proud seller here but I still think he will get something tonight

    4. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Im the only donkey in the ML of 30 that has him

    5. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Owned him since gw26 🙂

    6. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      To be fair he is usually so consistent when he's fit, and a lot of points dodged have been his teammates fault and not his.

    7. cutch
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      To be fair, a player who's got an assist and a penalty taken (who knew in advance he would miss?) only in the first 45 minutes is not a bad tip at all, from an expert or not

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Not only talking about this GW though am I?

      2. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        No, but three attacking returns in his last 12 is shambolic.

    8. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Don't they also say to buy "good players from good teams"?

      Those two pieces of advice are incongruous. Leicester are not a good team. Overpriced.

  3. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Ah wonderful. Maddison pick working out well!

  4. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Hopefully more Leicester goals to come in the 2nd half.

  5. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Will Maddison or Trippier be in Scout Picks next week?

    1. Moneymar
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Probably just Maddison

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        There's a limit with underlying stats!

        Tbf I've still got Trippier in my team doing nothing. Had Maddison on a FH in the big blank but avoided since.

        Mind, saw someone earlier asking why use form to predict future points but i'm sure they've got Haaland.

  6. Mr. O'Connell

    Bench boost mudded

  8. Moneymar
    • 3 Years

    Iwobi g, McNeil a

  9. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Relegation fight games are fun, I may buy a Forest player just to punt vs SOU(H) and bench him when not needed

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      They'll be even more fun when Wrexham's in the Premier League.

  10. alsybach
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Watkins (wol)
    To Wilson (ARS)

    Yay or nay?

    1. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Not this week, not for me personally (I'm keeping Watkins)

    2. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      no

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

      Same boat I’m saving ft to bring in Wilson for next week (have trip and isak)

    4. Moneymar
      • 3 Years

  11. BeaversWithAttitude

    Shame Vardy couldn't punish Pickford, haha.

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

    What to do if you have all of
    Martinelli & Saka

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Bench the defenders

  13. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Im gonna rage quit FPL because of Maddison

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

      Seems reasonable

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      chin up he did get an assist

  14. BUZZBOMB ♡
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Leicester, Everton, Southampton, Leeds, Notts Forest. If this is the best league in the world, Id hate to watch the worst.

    One perennial champion.

    7 teams potentially reordering 2nd to 8th - Only highlight each season is guessing what "bigger" team might be shitiest this year between Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, ManU, Newcastle.

  15. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    I don’t think a point does either of these teams much good, but I suppose it’s better than losing.

    Maddison’s missed penalty may be the difference between them staying up and going down when we look back at it.

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Still think Southampton, Leeds & one of Everton/ Forest will get relegated. It is pretty tight down there.

  16. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Would have bet BOU had the bottom spot nailed down early.

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Great run of results - I had them relegated in jan

  17. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    This game makes me mad. Had MADdison for weeks now, gets an assist and then had an opportunity to haul after being chosen as the penalty taker. Supriseeee he misses and gets a YC. Final score of 2 points. Cheers and goodnight

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      You’re lucky it wasn’t 0

    Is Toney to Wilson worth the gamble or have I missed the boat?

  20. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    1.4K rank drop from this game. I'll take it

    Hammers fans delighted with that result.

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      and Chelsea fans

  23. space mercenary

    Looks like Iverson sneaked a bonus point.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Deserved too.

      Man of the match from what i saw.

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

      None for Iversen:
      30 - Söyüncü (3)
      30 - Pickford (3)
      30 - Iwobi (3)
      26 - Calvert-Lewin
      23 - Iversen

      1. space mercenary
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Oh, I thought when the bonus scores were tied they each got 3 then it cascaded down. Shame.

    3. Cheeky Reijnders
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      Hopefully have as good a game if not better v FUL
