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.

    For goodness sake! Score Wolvessssss

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

      Very confused by the Grav

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not a hope

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

      Silva was the best chance.

  2. MoSalalalalalalalalah
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    My City trio starting. Crying for Bamford to be benched so DCL cam be freed

    1. No Professionals
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Even if Bamford was benched (which he won’t be), he’d still come on.

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

        Yeah that is most likely the case

        1. No Professionals
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          I benched dcl too. Made sense as a decision, and still looked ok until 95 mins.

          Soucek is my problem, can’t get the guy right.

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

            Whenever I bench one he blanks and the other returns lol

  3. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Justin the best bargain fpl pick of the season

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

      Targett & Martinez are better.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 17 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        No they are not imo. Justin helps or ruins the rank more

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

          ???

          What has ownership got to do with being a bargain.

          All three started at 4.5m. I'll give that Justin is better if you kept at 4.5m, but value wise Targett currently better.

          Martinez beats both though.

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 17 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            You can find other keepers that will deliver. No 4.5m defender is even close

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

              Feel free to change the context of your question 🙂

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

      Soucek and Gundogan

  4. No Professionals
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Wolves paid the best part of 40m for semedo, he is absolutely dire.

    And as traore...

  5. Forgetmeknot
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Just 2 in the liv-city game for me. Anyone with similar / less?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah Salah and gundogan.

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

      Just Cancelo & Salah starting.

      Benched Gundo & Stones
      Played Coufal & Justin to protect a potential double CS wipe, going ok so far.

  6. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Come ooooon Wolves

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

      Beastiality....

      1. dogtanion
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Hahahaha

  7. MoSalalalalalalalalah
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    I am still yet to see what Nuno did when he signed Silva for £30m

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

      Money laundering

    2. No Professionals
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Forget about silva, semedo was more and he’s the worst right back in the league.

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

        Bellerin got to be competing for that title

  8. dogtanion
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Can't believe I've actually sat all through Fulham West Ham and Wolves Leicester in one weekend

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

      At least you saw a red card.

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

      Sat through all of Fulham v West Ham only to see Soucek get a red card in the last minute. Now I'm watching this only to see Justin get another load of points.

  9. mrodgers91
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Even as a liverpool fan, benched robbo, started dias and cancelo. Tells you what I'm expecting today

    1. Cruyff Turn
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I benched Dias and Cancelo, started Salah and Mane...

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

      Mané back is big though. I didn't give you a chance without him. Now it should be interesting.

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

      benched dias, played cancelo, foden and salah.

      hoping for a goalfest, expecting a 1-0 crapshoot.

    4. mrodgers91
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      At least if salah hauls I will be happy IRL and ruined FPL wise

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

    Justin feels like not captaining Bruno...

    Would be content with just 6 points.

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

      (I know Bruno got 7)

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 17 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Kilman doesn't help

  11. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    All this bs Nuno chat before and after every match of finding solutions and his only solution seems to be 0-0.

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

    Semedo -> Dias was possibly the greatest transfer made in FPL history

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

      Removing Mitrovic was my best move. Irrelevant who replaced him.

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

        Least he scored twice in GW2

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

          And made me keep him another 9 weeks.

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

            You win.

  13. MoSalalalalalalalalah
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    I'd like a tool where I can see how many points I've missed due to having benching nightmares. Could be top 10k at this point, honesty

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

      I just look at myself in the mirror to see the tool....

    2. seanie3
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Thousands of managers could say the same thing...

  14. Shultan
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Flicking through some earlier comments a lot of bitter Son non-owners & non cappers around!
    Kane didn't even assist Son for his goal.
    I capped Son because he's a good player up against the worst defence thats shipping 2/3 goals a match.
    Selling Son this week for sterling (C), might work out might not! But I'm going with fixtures

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

      Wait, wait, wait ....

      Kane scored the 1:0 goal. WBA had to, absolutely had to attack from that point on. That's Son's territory right there. The 8 pointer didn't hurt me, I expected that Son probably get something in that game. But the 2 bonus ....

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

      Very little bitterness about tbh, this person saying Bruno capper salty. All comments saying, not really.

    Kilman making fouls to give 3BP to Justin. What a lad

  16. EmreCan Hustle
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    So much quality in these two teams but can't create a decent shot on target.

  17. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    There it is done.

    Justin on 3 BP 🙁

  18. TorresMagic™

    3 - Justin, Kilman (26)
    1 - Coady, Patrício (25)

    1. FPL Daniel

      Booooh

  19. Oggle22
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Owned and benched Soucek for weeks and benched mahrez for Soucek this week as didn't think he'd play v pool and sold foden after weeks of blanks we all know what happens now

  20. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    I told ya all that he will get 3 BP.

    Painful sell in the Blank GW

  21. No Professionals

    Traore hasn’t got a single footballing brain cell. You can’t cross through someone who is 1 yard from you mate.

  22. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Ffs Justin 3 baps, but of course

  23. MoSalalalalalalalalah
    • 8 Years

    Wolves are just West Brom without Jiménez

    1. dogtanion
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      They're not exactly Barca 2011 with him either !

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      And in a different colour kit.

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

    Justin and Choudhury have worked very well together against Traore.

  25. BeWater
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    And there is it. Justin on top of the BPS.

  26. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years

    Wolves are absolute gash. One of my 20 most hated teams in the league.

    1. No Professionals
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      They’re soulless

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

        Enjoyed them when they first came up. Actually can't stand them now. 8 weeks of owning Podence earlier in the season was fun too.

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

    Justin: red arrows.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years

      :((((( painful.

      Most owned defender in the game

  28. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…

    Seems like everyone not on FFS own Justin?

    1. TheDragon

    Wolves attack breaks down every time Traore gets the ball.
