Lloris back from injury as Rodgers recalls Chilwell

There are three Premier League matches taking place this evening.

Leicester City v West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur v Norwich City both get underway at 19:30 GMT, with Manchester United v Burnley kicking off 45 minutes later.

The Hammers are of course in action twice in Double Gameweek 24, with a fixture against Liverpool still to contest in a week’s time.

David Moyes has made one change to his starting XI from Saturday’s draw with Everton: Pablo Fornals (£6.0m) drops to the bench and Arthur Masuaku (£4.2m) comes in on the left flank.

Michail Antonio (£6.9m) has recovered from a thigh injury and is among the substitutes.

There is still no Lukasz Fabianski (£4.9m), so Darren Randolph (£4.5m) continues between the posts for the visitors.

Brendan Rodgers has brought back two of his first-team regulars for tonight’s game, with Ben Chilwell (£5.6m) and Youri Tielemans (£6.2m) recalled.

Christian Fuchs (£4.3m) and Dennis Praet (£5.3m) don’t even make the bench but Wilfred Ndidi (£5.0m) is named as a substitute, having made a much quicker recovery from knee surgery than first anticipated.

There are also two changes apiece for Tottenham Hotspur and Norwich City.

Having previously said he was on course for a return in early February, Jose Mourinho has named the fit-again Hugo Lloris (£5.3m) in his starting XI for the very first time.

Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.6m), fresh from a 14-point haul in Gameweek 23, makes way.

Ryan Sessegnon (£5.4m) in for Japhet Tanganga (£4.0m) is Mourinho’s other alteration.

Both of Daniel Farke’s changes are enforced, with Ben Godfrey (£4.4m) suspended and Emiliano Buendia (£6.0m) injured.

Grant Hanley (£4.0m) and full debutant Lukas Rupp (£4.5m) get the nod at centre-back and on the wing respectively.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made two changes from Manchester United’s defeat at Liverpool, one of which is enforced as Phil Jones (£4.8m) replaces the ill Victor Lindelof (£5.3m).

Juan Mata (£6.2m) comes in for Luke Shaw (£5.4m) in the other alteration as Solskjaer switches from a wing-back system to a back four.

Shaw, along with Mason Greenwood (£4.4m) and Eric Bailly (£4.9m), are among the substitutes, meaning that budget FPL defender Brandon Williams (£4.1m) gets another start at left-back.

Matthew Lowton (£4.2m) replaces Phil Bardsley (£4.3m) at right-back in Sean Dyche’s only change.


Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Pereira, Evans, Soyuncu, Chilwell, Mendy, Tielemans, Maddison, Perez, Barnes, Vardy.

West Ham United XI: Randolph, Cresswell, Diop, Ogbonna, Zabaleta, Noble, Rice, Masuaku, Snodgrass, Lanzini, Haller.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Sessegnon, Winks, Lo Celso, Alli, Lamela, Son, Lucas.

Norwich City XI: Krul, Aarons, Hanley, Zimmermann, Byram, Tettey, McLean, Rupp, Duda, Cantwell, Pukki.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Jones, Maguire, Williams, Fred, Matic, Pereira, Mata, James, Martial.

Burnley XI: Pope, Lowton, Mee, Tarkowski, Taylor, Hendrick, Cork, Westwood, McNeil, Rodriguez, Wood.

    Save the 6 million and choose Martinelli over Auba?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Tempting

    2. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      We have enough bench fodder

    3. Taff1952
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Get both

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        I'm really leaning towards this. I wish I'd bought Martinelli when Auba was suspended but bought Ings instead. With the way he's playing, I think Martinelli might oust Lacazette from the starting lineup.

    4. Rock n Grohl
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      5 in midfield way things are going.

    Vardy exit strategy.

    Auba and Lascelles in for Vardy and Soy (-4)?

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Do eet

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Same here. Sound as anything

  3. Syd.

    West Ham warming up nicely for the Liverpool game

  4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years

    If Vardy is dead....

    Vardy & Son > Kun & Mahrez is on the cards

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Got enough City slots?

      1. Ha.
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        How many City players do you have?!

        1. circusmonkey
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          Ederson, Kdb, Mahrez.

    2. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Good idea this

  5. Don Kloppeone
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Why are people suddenly rushing to get Auba in for Vardy?! Do you learn nothing!

    1. diesel001
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Auba gets goals.

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Have you seen how many points Auba has?

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Yeh. I just find him an uninspiring pick I guess but I’ll admit he grinds out the points

        1. Yank Revolution
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          He's quite good at this football thing.

    3. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Learn what?

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Obv depends on how long Vardy is out for but I just find Auba such an unexciting FPL player

        1. Dthinger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          yeah but his price is down to 10.7 so feel like a bargain

    4. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      What are we supposed to be learning?

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Tbh it’s more a personally thing but the way people are flocking to him makes him out to be he amber nectar which I don’t see

    5. AzzaroMax99
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Who would you get?

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        That’s the issue. Really don’t know. I have an expensive midfield so would take some rejigging

  6. Solenya
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Obi Wan really has the high ground on the right today, really terrorizing the Burnley defense

  7. Marmalade Forest
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Kin el. Noble and Haller combining. They’re the two WHU players people will have got in for the DGW. They were the two I toyed with and avoided.

  8. o0Ash
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Soy is pointless.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Vegans disagree

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      He has one point, actually.

    3. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      This

    4. el polako
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      4.5m

  9. Londongeezaa
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    I blame every fantasy football player for these injuries.

    Too busy chasing points, and not caring about the well-being of players with so many games.

  10. el polako
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Money is no issue but I think I actually preffer nailed Auba over Aguero.

    1. Atimis
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah and could have better mid also

  11. TheDragon
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Currently on 11 from 7

    My team appears to be trying to send me a message in binary

    Early thoughts, Vardy Mahrez to:

    1. Kun 6.0
    2. Auba Grealish

    ?

    1. GreennRed
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Too early.

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    God why is Martial so useless?

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Frankly he's about 7 places down on my to do list now...

    2. GreennRed
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Inconsistent, like a lot of players. Far from useless but poor tonight. Suffers from not playing with Rashford.

  16. Rash

    Why did vardy get taken off?

    1. Baps hunter

    Surely save the WC for the points bonanza that are the end of season DGWs? Can't even guarantee that the current options will sustain their form

    1. GreennRed
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Yup. Way too early for WC.

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 8 Years

      Agreed.

  18. Riverside Red
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Suggested getting in Noble as dgw insurance and was laughed off the website. Unfortunately took notice of the advice.

    1. TheDragon

      Ok

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  19. Ozzy smith

    4 years, 9 months ago

    That’s why we’ll never eradicate ‘diving’ from football. Even with VAR they can’t say Haller dived because it wasn’t a clear and obvious mistake. In other words “good dive Haller”. If he doesn’t go to ground, nobody is even seeing the ‘foul’ take place.

    1. Brosstan
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      That was never a dive, Soy owner...

      1. Ozzy smith
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        He’s won the penalty there. Could’ve easily stayed on his feet, clear dive.

        More than enough to be beating Burnley

        1. GreennRed
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          Nothing to do with money. Heart, commitment, aggression, tactics etc. A lot of United players, like a lot of players in other teams have skills but too fkn lazy and complacent on such big money.

    2. Hulk Smash

      Ten players in my squad have played. Only one has any returns. Six of them have one point. I can't remember a week like it in FPL before.
