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.

  14. Rainer

    Justin big chance created.

  15. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years

    Almost Justin assist.

  16. Cruyff Turn
    • 14 Years

    Anybody playing Mane... huge differential

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

      Yes. The dead team H2H I'm up against, who also has Kane(c) and Kilman.. expecting a haul.

  17. TorresMagic™

  18. Make United Great Again

    Dias Stones Gundagon Salah. Hoping for 40 points. Cheers

  19. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    And just like that Justin on 2 baps 😆

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

      Give him 5 minutes and he will be on 3

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      And then they change it again. We seriously need more transparency around BPS adjustments.

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

        Lol the bps is literally in the rules. How much more transparent can they get

        1. Duke Silver ☑
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          A live feed of BPS would be great:
          Justin: +3bps - Creating a big chance
          Justin: +6bps - 90%+ pass completion

          At least we can see exactly what they're adding and when they add it.

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

      Shock

  20. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Well goodbye DCL points. Pep roulette never strikes when you need it.

    Bring in 5-0 drubbing of Liverpool

  21. Esalman
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Is City actually going to win the league without any strikers?

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

      Yes. Liverpool have no centre backs and Utd are cat. At least they have Jesus and Sterling can play there too

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      They won it without KDB the other season.

  22. Differentiator

    Which option for one week? Will be WC next week.

    A) Salah > Sterling ( C )
    B) Son > Gundogan
    C) Son > JRod
    D) Soucek > Lookman
    E) Salah & Holding > Sterling(C) & Tarkowski -4.

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 9 Years

      B easily

    The idea that a strong bench is useful is a myth.

    1. Plagued by indecision
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah seems that way.

      Got Bamford’s 15 off the bench a couple of weeks ago but been followed by benching Justin, Martinez and DCL.

      Bring back Brewster I say.

  26. AC Yew
    • 7 Years

    Stones first on bench hoping for CS plz

  27. Don Kloppeone

  28. Bounce

  30. It's Fergie Time

    need a 1-1 city pool score. Jones goal/Salah assist and Zinch goal/rodri assist
