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.

    How is Podence playing? Came close to scoring yet?

    1. Pacer.
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Standard wolves first half. Nothing to report

      1. Amey
        6 years, 2 days ago

        This

    2. Black Knights
      6 years, 2 days ago

      He plays for wolves, so absolutely not. Even WBA and Fulham make more chances than these jokers.

  2. PogChamp
    6 years, 2 days ago

    I think this is the first season I won't have any Burnley defence. They have been so unlucky with fixtures. They must be the only team that don't have a l run of ’easy games’.

    1. Pep bites Kun
      6 years, 2 days ago

      It's sporadic alright

  3. WVA

    6 years, 2 days ago

    The ref has to award Wolves a pen this half even if they don't get near the box

  4. fr3d
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Vardy is due a pen

    1. Amey
      6 years, 2 days ago

      VARdy

    2. Pep bites Kun
      6 years, 2 days ago

      A Bic or better - how goods he doin?

  5. davies
    6 years, 2 days ago

    A) Son > Bruno

    B) Kane/Soucek > Bamford/Bruno (-4)

    1. fr3d
      6 years, 2 days ago

      It's going to be a long IB if I keep seeing you ask this on every single page for two weeks

      1. davies
        6 years, 2 days ago

        3 times in the past 24 hours clown

    2. Poison Apple
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A

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

      A

    4. Pep bites Kun
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Is Soucek with fixtures worth -4? A from a bad B

  6. Arteta
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Pretty happy with perma captain Kane: 16, 5, 6, 9. No blanks is all I ask for after 3 in first 4 gameweeks.

    1. Londongeezaa
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Nice returns.

      Another 9 points today and people are still complaining 🙂

  7. Von Lipwig
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Wolves goal please

    1. Amey
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Next GW please

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      6 years, 2 days ago

      dont hold your breath

  8. ivantys
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Leicester could get like 20 penalties this season

    1. Pacer.
      6 years, 2 days ago

      They have been good at winning them for years now

  9. Begbie.
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Justin is like Ivanovic, TAA, Alonso etc. Absolutely terrifying as a non-owner.

    1. Pacer.
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Really? I own him and hadn't realised!

    2. el polako
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Shame Vardy isn't like Lewandowski when it comes to converting pens.

    3. tafrère
      6 years, 2 days ago

      He only has 1 goal 2 assists in 1700 minutes of Premier League football though.

      1. Begbie.
        6 years, 2 days ago

        Yeah but he's always in the box. It's scary.

    4. 272MK
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Wow seriously? I was looking down on him all this time as an owner. Good to know

  10. Egg noodle
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Barnes on my bench. Podence first sub.
    Both of u idiots sort it out amongst yourselves and get me some points.

    1. fedolefan
      6 years, 2 days ago

      1. Egg noodle
        6 years, 2 days ago

        6 years, 2 days ago

    5. Utopsis
      6 years, 2 days ago

    6. Gobigorgohome
      6 years, 2 days ago

      1. Zimo
        6 years, 2 days ago

    7. Black Knights
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Haul. Only 70% EO in top 10k.

  12. Brosstan
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Imagine constantly benching Jota and the selling him, and then giving numpty Neto starts every single week.

  13. PogChamp
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Anyone else never get any Auto Jam? KWP first on bench.

  14. Ha.
    6 years, 2 days ago

    1. GROBARI
      6 years, 2 days ago

    2. Egg noodle
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Danger to. Yes

  15. JBG
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Neto is so poor...

  16. Zilla
    6 years, 2 days ago

    That was close

  17. FPL Daniel
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Vardy almost a Party

    1. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Justin or Maddison potential assist?

      1. Begbie.
        6 years, 2 days ago

        Fofana

        1. FPL Daniel
          6 years, 2 days ago

          Thanks

  18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    6 years, 2 days ago

    What has Traore done to be benched here ahead of Neto and podence

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Tired legs player.

      1. FPL Daniel
        6 years, 2 days ago

        Well said TM

    2. Begbie.
      6 years, 2 days ago

      I think Traore is one of the most overrated player in the league, he has zero end product, but yeah, I'd have him in the team ahead of either of those.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        6 years, 2 days ago

        Not saying he’s great but he’s so direct and offers something completely different to anyone

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

      Madness I know, also worth considering Jimenez’s output drastically improves with Traore in the team regularly too

  19. 272MK
    6 years, 2 days ago

    A rival who was number 3 last season in my ML (I was 1st) captained Salah.

    I have Salah. He is 50pts ahead of me crrently. I dunno what to hope for

    1. Ha.
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Own goal and red card?

      1. Zimo
        6 years, 2 days ago

        I like it

    2. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 2 days ago

      You hope for blank

    3. 272MK
      6 years, 2 days ago

      guy used his wildcard, hoping my wildcard during DGW makes up for it

      1. Under my Cucurella
        6 years, 2 days ago

        Is the first DGW before the 2nd WC becomes active?

    4. Zimo
      6 years, 2 days ago

      I think best thing is to not watch the match so you don't have to be in agony whenever he gets the ball

  20. FPL Daniel
    6 years, 2 days ago

    What a save by Schmeichel

    1. Utopsis
      6 years, 2 days ago

      No idea how he's held onto that

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

    Liverpool and City both seems to concede 1 each per match these days, so 1-1 an ok prediction?

    1. Utopsis
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Or 5-5

  22. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Going to have to sacrifice a goat and drink in order to get a Semado attacking return

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

    Podence = Mini Hazard

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      6 years, 2 days ago

      From the Madrid era

    2. Begbie.
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Thorgan maybe.

    3. seewhyaxe
      6 years, 2 days ago

      He reminds me of a smaller sized Sanchez during his Arsenal tenure

  24. Under my Cucurella
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Now a good time to WC?

    Current team:
    McCarthy Nyland
    TAA Chilwell Justin Taylor Mitchell
    Salah Son Zaha Podence Bissouma
    Werner DCL Wilson

    WC team:
    Martinez Steer
    Chilwell Justin Coufal KWP Taylor
    Salah Bruno Grealish Zaha Bissouma
    Werner DCL Wilson

    Money in the bank to do Werner > Vardy and Bruno > KDB from GW10/11

  25. FPL Daniel
    6 years, 2 days ago

    This game looks like there will be more goals

    1. JBG
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Hopefully for Jimenez

  26. FPL Daniel
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Will Jota start ?

    1. Begbie.
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Yes

    2. ☈☾
      6 years, 2 days ago

      No

  27. LIARS POKER
    6 years, 2 days ago

    TAA + Podence to Coufal + Grealish for free look like a good move? Would also give me the money needed to do Son to KDB the following week

  28. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 2 days ago

    How bad is the Rashford injury?

    1. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 2 days ago

      We speculate is an IB "injury "

    2. JBG
      6 years, 2 days ago

      Probably back after the IB. But OGS didn't say anything specific, just that he was struggling.

  29. FPL Daniel
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Jsutin is having amazing game till now

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

      Because I benched him

  30. ☈☾
    6 years, 2 days ago

    Fofana is such a great signing

    1. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 2 days ago

      How much he is in fpl? Is he a defender ?
