Jamie Vardy (£10.0m) makes his return from hernia surgery this afternoon but the Leicester City striker is only among the substitutes for the Foxes’ clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Kick-off at Molineux is at 14:00 GMT.

Brendan Rodgers again trusts Kelechi Iheanacho (£5.6m) to lead the line in the West Midlands and has indeed named an unchanged side from the one that defeated Fulham in midweek.

As for Wolves, Nuno Espirito Santo hinted at injury problems in Friday’s press conference and has made a pair of enforced alterations to his starting XI.

Willy Boly (£5.4m) and Daniel Podence (£5.3m) miss out with hamstring and adductor problems respectively and are replaced by Jonny (£5.4m) and Leander Dendoncker (£4.6m).

This will be Jonny’s first appearance since suffering an injury in August and his return at left-back, coupled with Boly’s absence, means that Max Kilman (£4.0m) moves over to his more favoured centre-half position.

Romain Saiss (£4.9m) is also back from injury but is only among the substitutes.

FPL’s most-popular defender starts in this fixture: James Justin (£5.2m) features in almost 30% of Fantasy squads, with his ownership figure further swelled by a 15-point haul in Gameweek 22.

Both he and James Maddison (£7.4m) were transferred in by over 200,000 FPL managers ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

Justin also has the highest effective ownership among defenders in the top 10,000 Fantasy squads.


Wolves XI: Patricio, Semedo, Kilman, Coady, Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Neto, Willian José, Traoré.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Justin, Soyuncu, Evans, Pereira, Choudhury, Perez, Maddison, Tielemans, Barnes, Iheanacho.

    Justin proving to be one of my better season picks

  2. Weak Become Heros

    Will bring in Justin on my WC27.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Me too, just in time for Leicester’s traditional end of season slump

      1. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Cant wait.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Why WC 27? Sure 25 is best?

  3. Mr. O'Connell

    5 years, 6 months ago

    That photo of Bob Mortimer reading the Would I Lie to You card with a quizzical expression:

    "I once got a green arrow when James Justin hauled"

  4. Jafooli

    I’ll take the jammy Justin points, thank you....

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years

      Always

  5. Sean

  6. Captain Vantastic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    BPS system is rigged.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Definitely, I used to laugh that off thinking “nah” but as the season has gone on it’s definitely fixed, game lost all integrity

    2. Sif
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Ok Trump

  7. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years

    1. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

  9. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Maddison to Raphinha in preparation for Leeds double?

    (Will sit on the bench next week)

  10. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    49 managers benched Justin in LMS

  11. Mattymo23
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Serious question- How is Justin a casual player? Loads of non casuals have him and he's a sensible pick?

    1. The Invincibles
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I think people are mad they didn’t get him at £4.5m

      1. Mattymo23
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I got him at 4.9. Just had to bite the bullet

    2. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Player you don't have gets points = accuse others of being casual for owning..

    3. Leonard hatred
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      because sites that tell you which players to pick are for bitter casuals, caught in a dunning kruger nightmare.

    4. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      There is 7 million players no such thing as a casual or not pick it’s just a windup on here

    5. Benjustjamin
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Salty mard arses upset they missed another hail

  12. Party time
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Justin is a pain in the arse

  13. Jafooli

    6. Tinkermania
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Bamford will get a brace. There is your answer.

  14. sunzip14
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Great start to the day: Son(C), Justin

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Ok

    2. Greek Shamrocks
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      That's good you had the cajones to C son with his form.

  15. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Gonna bring Justin in to break him

  16. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    No Justin or Son. From 200k to 300k OR. Nightmare.

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Worst possible results for non owners

      So hard to make progress each week

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Same. Can't even make up any rank in this City Liverpool game either. Just down to Bamford. Oh wait.

    3. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Same here.......and I’ve got Watkins and Coufal points on the bench *facepalm*

  17. mezza
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    I think Justin got 3 bonus due to creating a chance for Barnes while offside (flag didn’t go up but would have been VARred out)

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Traore gifted him a hatful also.

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Cleaned up vs Adama too.

    3. mezza
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Agree with the above but the chance created edged him over the line

  18. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Enough is enough, welcome Justin

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Now you’ve got him I’ll leave him alone. 😉

    2. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Nah he has to wait until after Burnleys double and Utds plum fixtures for me.

      I can wait 2 more weeks

  19. DGW Sane TC Fail....
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    i honestly don't understand the term casual on here. What is it's meaning?

    1. Flair
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      People ranked ahead of you.

    2. Mattymo23
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      People that play the game casually and don't try very hard

    3. Greek Shamrocks
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I think it means those who started at the beginning of the season and quit or just don't follow week to week.

    4. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Someone who has more points than you and picked a few risky players who outperformed your team: Casual

    5. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Word mostly used towards managers who own the players that get the points by managers who don't

    6. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Sees to now mean people who get a bit of luck, who get some bench points or who choose the right player for that weeks haul.

    7. boc610
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      its basically bitter fantasy football scout users looking for a scapegoat if they dont get the haul they feel they are entitled to every single week. I love this site but my god does it skew peoples perceptions of just who it is plays this game.

    8. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Somebody that does not use this website.

    9. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Very simply, people who score more points than you with players you don't have

  20. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Dodging Justin's points is bad for your health..

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      You mean Soucek

      1. BrockLanders
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Him to. Lol

  21. Mattymo23
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    It really is James Justin FC

  22. Ninjaa
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Current squad, 2 fts and 3.7m itb. Any thoughts on what I do here guys???? Bench boost??

    McCarthy Pope
    Stones Justin Coufal Targett Taylor
    Salah Son Bruno Gundogan Saka
    DCL Antonio Bamford

  23. Bobby Digital
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Let's go Sterlo and Dias!

  24. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    This season is impossible, HOW do you even gain rank? Have no idea anymore

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I’ve been round the same rank all season too. Take 1 steps forward 2 back then 2 steps forward and 1 back.

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Might go for a full differential wildcard when it comes, keeping one template player per position.

      Martinez
      Cancelo or Dias
      Bruno
      Bamford

      Rest just gamble

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Just impossible and zero fun anymore

      1. OneDennisBergkamp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        just need differentials. in my opinion Son was unbelievable obvious this week.

  25. Shark Team
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Next gw will be difficult to play only one of Salah Son Maddison

  26. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Ridiculous BPS manipulation to favour the higly owned players

    New strategy is to get all the highest pwned players

    1. Sif
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Stop the count!

    2. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Utter nonsense.

    3. Greek Shamrocks
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Hence why those people have the best overall rank

  27. Chhana
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Justin : had him from GW1, best performing player for me

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Congrats.

      1. Chhana
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        thanks

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He was my best performing bench player for half the season then I sold him. 😎 what a twa

      1. Chhana
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I'm lucky enough to get all his jammy points too 🙂

  28. tuturututu
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Justin is gold

  29. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Justin up to 2nd in the defenders.

  30. OverTinker
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Will bring in Justin to teach him a lesson now. Can't tolerate him anymore
