Leicester City v Wolverhampton Wanderers is the second of four Premier League matches to take place on a busy Sunday, following on from the completion of a fairly underwhelming game at the Hawthorns.

Kick-off at the King Power Stadium is at 14:00 GMT.

The team news from a Wolves perspective is nice and straightforward, with Nuno Espirito Santo naming an unchanged side for the first time this season.

That’s good news for owners of budget Fantasy Premier League defender Max Kilman (£4.3m), who starts for the fifth Gameweek in a row, but not so for Romain Saiss (£5.3m), who is again only among the substitutes.

Rayan Ait Nouri (£5.0m) gets a chance to build on his impressive debut against Crystal Palace, meanwhile.

Adama Traore (£6.2m) is also benched for the fifth straight league match, meaning that Daniel Podence (£5.5m) and Pedro Neto (£5.5m) will again flank Raul Jimenez (£8.5m) in the visitors’ attack.

For the hosts, Brendan Rodgers has made two alterations from the side that beat Leeds United last Monday.

The fit-again Jonny Evans (£5.5m) returns to the centre of defence, with James Justin (£4.8m) moving to right wing-back and Marc Albrighton (£5.3m) dropping out.

Harvey Barnes (£6.9m) is also only among the substitutes, having started all seven of Leicester’s Premier League matches before today.

James Maddison (£7.0m) is recalled for just his second league start of the season.

Jamie Vardy (£10.1m), transferred in by over 210,000 Fantasy managers ahead of Gameweek 8, is aiming to score on home turf for the first time this season; all nine of his attacking returns have come on the road, although he has admittedly only played twice at the King Power Stadium.

Almost one in four of the top 10,000 FPL managers owns the long-serving Leicester striker and a similar number count Saiss amongst their ranks.

Justin is the most-popular player from either side, both within the leading pack and overall.


Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Justin, Fofana, Evans, Fuchs, Thomas, Mendy, Tielemans, Praet, Maddison, Vardy.

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Patrício, Boly, Coady, Kilman, Semedo, Neves, Dendoncker, Ait-Nouri, Podence, Raúl Jiménez, Neto.

    Jesus or Aguero options for gw10? Can't afford both KDB & Raz

    1. Flair
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Always Aguero when both are fit

      1. Pep bites Kun
        6 years, 2 days ago

        Amen

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Aguero always injury prone, nowhere near his best, waste of money.

      1. Pep bites Kun
        6 years, 2 days ago

        unless he's knocking goals in left, right & centre 😉

    3. Vlad
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Jesus if aguero stays injured. If he is back then none. Better value in Werner/vardy

  2. Zladan
    6 years, 2 days ago

    On a WC, which of Salah Bruno Ziyech Hamez Grealish do you drop for Jota?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Hamez or Grealish. Hamez imo

    2. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Hamez or Grealish seem the obvious choices.

    3. hotine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 2 days ago

      I’d say Hamez but it’s tough. Not salah or Grealish or Ziyech imo

    4. The Train Driver
      6 years, 2 days ago

      None

    5. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 2 days ago

      So difficult. I'd love to have Grealish, Jota, Salah, KdB, Bruno, Son and Ziyech but obviously cant have them all.

    6. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Out of your list, I'd drop Hamez.

      1. Forgetmeknot
        6 years, 2 days ago

        Not going KBD?

        My WC midfield will be;
        Salah, Bruno, KBD, plus 2 from Grealish / Ziyech / Jota

        1. FPL Daniel
          6 years, 2 days ago

          Keep your stellar midfield

    7. Vlad
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Hamez but after Fulham

    8. Pep bites Kun
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Bit too early - Hamez

  3. The Train Driver
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Didn't know Jota is only 23 yrs old 😮

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Ok?

      1. The Train Driver
        6 years, 2 days ago

        Great future ahead

  4. BenDavies
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Manifesting Salah and TAA to turn up today. Today is when they make their mark on this season.

  5. WVA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 2 days ago

    My rival forgot to do his team and is currently on 58 with captain Salah to play.

    I'm on 42 with Kane captain!

    1. Pep bites Kun
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Maybe we should all leave our teams alone

  6. Brosstan
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Barnes to Jota absolute no brainer... Transfer done

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Nice move

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Done before Jota plays?

    3. Seanigula
      6 years, 2 days ago

      He will still rotate with Firmino once the CL resumes, Thiago returns, etc...I can’t believe you joined the casuals in making the early transfer, though you probably didn’t really do it

  7. aleksios
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Which moves for free?

    a) Son to Bruno
    b) JRod+Robbo to Bruno+Zouma/Cresswel.

    Thanks all.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      6 years, 2 days ago

      B

    2. 272MK
      6 years, 2 days ago

      a

      god dayyum JRod against Fulham you wanna transfer out??

  8. hotine
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 2 days ago

    What’s everyone’s thoughts? Perfectly poised between myself and a rival.
    A) Salah sterling Martinez Grealish
    vs
    B) Saka and 16 points

    Who wins?

    1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
      6 years, 2 days ago

      A

      1. hotine
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 2 days ago

        Thanks. I was hoping you’d say that haha

  9. Dele
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Matip assist, Henderson goal incoming

    1. GROBARI
      6 years, 2 days ago

      If that happens,i will be out from internet for 2 weeks

  10. Flair
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Scenes when Liverpool revert to 4-3-3 next GW and Jota is dropped

    1. JBG
      6 years, 2 days ago

      This

    2. Qaiss
      6 years, 2 days ago

      It takes 1 or 2 iffy performances and he’s dropped, not worth it unless firmino gets injured.

  11. Nightcrawler
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Shd have sold barnes last week but got to go now

    Ziyech or bruno? Can afford both

    1. GROBARI
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Ziyech for me

  12. George Agdgdgwngo
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Nuts to go without any Man City coverage?

    1. Qaiss
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Why is it nuts? There are so many options scoring well.

    2. Champions League Varane
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Absolutely

    3. ivantys
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Yes nuts considering Jesus is back.

    4. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Not at all, love the team I'll have without City

      Martinez Steer
      Lamptey Justin KWP Coufal Mitchell
      Salah Bruno Zaha Grealish Stephens
      Kane Vardy DCL

  13. Simon69
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Better defensive performance from WBA earlier? Was hoping to bring in Fernandes next GW but not 100% on it... Can't trust United to be consistent under OGS.

    1. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Bruno performs better away from home

      1. Flair
        6 years, 2 days ago

        Just like Son was supposed to?

        1. FPL Daniel
          6 years, 2 days ago

          Not like Son, check all the games since he is here. He plays CAM very often away from home and at old Trafford he plays deeper. Also check 7 wins in a row away from home for United.

          Mike drop. Boom 🙂

    2. Bees4Lyf
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Honestly I’m thinking of selling Bruno for a city player

      1. Simon69
        6 years, 2 days ago

        Crazzzyyyyy

    3. ivantys
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Yeah they are hard to break down tbh

  14. LSK
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Wolves attackers only really play 45 minutes per week.

    Get rid of Jimenez for DCL for free or give him the Southampton game then switch to Vardy probably for a -4 gwk10

    1. beric
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Im gunna see how i feel after the break. Not urgent to sell with saints next so i would wait to see which players die of corona before making any moves.

      1. Pep bites Kun
        6 years, 2 days ago

        Harsh, but strategic

  15. Bees4Lyf
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Salah left to play in the squad, hoping he returns something to top of a decent week.

  16. EmreCan Hustle
    6 years, 2 days ago

    This maybe a noob question but how much does your rank need to be to qualify for the FPL cup?
    When does it start?

    1. Brosstan
      6 years, 2 days ago

      You need to be GW rank 4,194,304 or higher in gw 16

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        6 years, 2 days ago

        Cheers

  17. FPL Daniel
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Spurs chances for the title?

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 2 days ago

      All depends on how they get on between here and Christmass.

      They have every chance of putting together a good run imo considering the good form they are showing.

      1. beric
        6 years, 2 days ago

        Didnt show much good form today

    2. beric
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Very slim

    3. ivantys
      6 years, 2 days ago

      They only had the fixtures, no form on their last 3 games.

  18. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Trent essential?

    1. Pep bites Kun
      6 years, 2 days ago

      for this gw?

  19. Pep Roulette
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Foden to Jota looks good

    1. beric
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Further down the line having them both might be gold

    2. Pep bites Kun
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Swap you Olly the octopus for your crystal ball

  20. hustler7
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Priority Saiss out but to whom? Only 0.1 ITB & 1FT unfortunately.

    Martinez Forster
    Saiss KWP Dallas Mitchell Creswell
    Salah Hamez Grealish Son
    Kane Werner DCL

    Could maybe get rid of Son too and get Chilwell in with a mid but would be for a hit? Not keen on Spurs double up any more.

  21. George Agdgdgwngo
    6 years, 2 days ago

    I think ziyech isn’t going to make my team. I have chilwell for coverage.

    What do u think?

    Martinez
    Chilwell, Lamptey, Taylor
    Kdb, salah, Bruno, grealish,
    DCL, bamford, Kane

    Forster, Mitchell, Lewis, Bissouma

    1. Ode
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Excellent team

    2. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 2 days ago

      KDB/City are a wait for now I think. Vardy smashing KDB out the water. Nice team though

    3. EL_FENOMENO
      6 years, 2 days ago

      No Chelsea attack

    4. Pep bites Kun
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Team looks good, but no such thing as coverage when going def v attack. Each game has it's own merits as has each player in each game. Coverage is just a comfort blanket

  22. EL_FENOMENO
    6 years, 2 days ago

    a) Zaha + Vardy
    b) KDB + Wilson/Bamford

  23. Wizard of Ozil
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Anyone know if Saiss is out of favour or just injured? luckily for me his replacements have been Lamptey for 9 points last week and yesterday Matt Taylor for 8 points. bit of luck for a change.

  24. villa_til_i_die

    Yoooouuu Lions!!!!!!
