Sunday’s Premier League action continues at Molineux, as Wolverhampton Wanderers host Leicester City at 16:30 GMT.

Notably, this is Wolves’ first Double Gameweek 26 match, with a trip to Arsenal to follow on Thursday.

Bruno Lage makes just one change from last weekend’s 2-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur, with Joao Moutinho coming in for Luke Cundle, who drops to the bench alongside Pedro Neto, who last appeared in April 2021.

For the visitors, James Maddison is only a substitute after feeling unwell in midweek, whilst Harvey Barnes is out because of a tight hamstring.

That means Marc Alrighton and Ademola Lookman line-up on the flanks, supporting lone forward Patson Daka.

Elsewhere, Luke Thomas replaces James Justin, who is out with a muscle injury.


DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 26 LINE-UPS

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Sa, Kilman, Coady, Saiss, Semedo, Dendoncker, Neves, Moutinho, Ait-Nouri, Podence, Jimenez

Subs: Ruddy, Marcal, Neto, Trincao, Silva, Jonny, Toti, Hwang, Cundle

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Pereira, Amartey, Soyuncu, Thomas, Ndidi, Tielemans, Dewsbury-Hall, Albrighton, Lookman, Daka

Subs: Ward, Jakupovic, Maddison, Iheanacho, Perez, Choudhury, Vestergaard, Mendy, Soumare

        They have a DGW! Can easily pay off on Thursday.

        1. Brehmeren
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Easily?

          1. Tinkermania
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            It's only Arsenal next match.

            1. Brehmeren
              • 15 Years
              3 years, 11 months ago

              Last time they kept Arsenal from scoring was in 1979.

        2. Tinkermania
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Or Wednesday.

        Well, yo be fair, the CS was “locked in” 😎

    Is Maddi expected back for the next game?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Seems pretty likely given he’s on the bench today

      1. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Good stuff. Thanks

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Probably come on 2nd half.

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      What happened to him exactly? Could have sworn I read someone here say something about him collapsing

      1. Brehmeren
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        He was unwell during their last match

      2. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Subbed during Randers game with unspecified "illness"

  3. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Jimenez has been awful. But he's already got his owners an assist at least.

    1. ilikewud
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Did he

      1. ilikewud
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        When I originally checked no assist was given

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Clear assist if you are watching game and added in fpl

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Pretty telling he’s on 10bps when you get 9bps for an assist!

  4. BeWater
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    I finally forgive Lookman for taking the penalty against West Ham last year instead of Mitrovic.

  5. jammie26
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Leicester the better team here.

  6. COLLIN QUANER
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Wolves double defence owners

  7. el polako
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Do we think CR7 would have been just as shite had he joined City not United ?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Would have had plenty of pens and tap ins to score but he's the opposite of what Pep wants up front.

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Would have been like lukakus first season at united.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Nope. The team surrounding him at City would have been far better; he could be sensibly rested more.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 11 months ago

          That's the issue, he wants to play every single game. City wouldn't offer him that he'd be bit part and they wouldn't necessarily play simply to service one player which is what he usually demands too

          Hard to say

      2. Herger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Don’t think City were ever serious about signing him. No way even they’d have paid the wages we’re paying

        1. Drexl Spivey
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          You don't seem happy.

      3. HD7
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Interesting question and I agree with the comments before me. He would fit better there and Im a United fan. His minutes were going to be challenged, his team was going to control most games like he is used to. And he was going to have a lot of good deliveries in the box

      4. JONALDINHO
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        There’s a reason no serious club was interested in him

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

          City were in for him?

      5. NorCal Villan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Perhaps it’s simply the “what you see is what you get” stage of his career

      6. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        City never wanted him.

      7. Percy Johnstone
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        City were never seriously going to sign him imo.

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Cmon Coady, grab an assist.

    4. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Everyone trippling up on wolves for their explosive attack and water tight defence 😀

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Have zero here!

    5. MrJobby
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Apologies to wolves fans and wolves defender owners
      Every time I bring in a wolves defender they either concede or they get injured in the warm up before the game .

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Apology accepted. Leicester always a tricky game defensively

    6. MrJobby
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Leicester worst team in leave v set pieces and corners so I still have a glimmer of hope for a coady header from a corner . Maybe

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Bad. But not worst!

        1. MrJobby
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Sure sky just showed a graphic that had them ranked 20th for conceding from set pieces

          1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Wow! I thought Leeds are. Thanks!

            1. MrJobby
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 11 months ago

              Leeds are bad at defending full
              Stop , I’ve just looked it up and yeah it’s defo Leicester . 13 goals conceded so far from set pieces before todays game . Everton next with 11 Leeds on 8 which does surprise me to be honest

              1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
                • 9 Years
                3 years, 11 months ago

                Great info there.

                1. MrJobby
                  • 4 Years
                  3 years, 11 months ago

                  It’s a stat worth noting if you’ve got a player Who’s good at scoring from set pieces against a team that can’t defend set pieces .

                  1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
                    • 9 Years
                    3 years, 11 months ago

                    Son Kane combo next week should work well. Weghorst told.

                  2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
                    • 9 Years
                    3 years, 11 months ago

                    Too*

                      • 4 Years
                      3 years, 11 months ago

                      The odds are in their favour but this is FPL never works that way for me sadly

    7. COLLIN QUANER
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      YouTube keeps recommending me videos from someone called "Mark Goldbridge". I am not familiar with him but he seems to talk constant nonsense. How is he so popular?

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 11 months ago

          He's an amalgamation of every clueless man utd fan put together

        • Nightcrawler
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          U don't have to make sense to be popular just loud and controversial

        • Fantasy Football Friend!
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          He is a made up character. Thats not even his real name and he supports Forest. He pretends to be a United fan because he knows he'll get more views.

          • 11 Years

          FPL Idea - give players on the winning team all one extra point as long as they have played 45 minutes+

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Don't like it. De-incentivizes getting players from the 'worse' teams who may still be good FPL assets.

          Liverpool, Arsenal, Wolves and Palace defence letting the DGW sides down.

            Couldn't believe it when Arsenal conceded that last minute goal 🙁

              Arsenal conceding was a gut-punch for me, and it hurt

            To be fair, probably was never gonna end well with Palace defense. Your point stands with regard to the others

            I was gutted when arsenal
            Conceded but then realised all
            My rivals Had arsenal defenders anyway but it jumped Saka up to 3 bp which non of my rivals had so it actually worked in my favour. For a change

          Any update on what went down with Foden last night at the Khan/Brook fight? So far the stories I have read are pretty skimpy on details

            Some idiot attacked his mother. Probably doing it for likes on twitter or something these clowns do. That’s about it

            Some rowdy lot were jeering/harassing Foden a bit by the look of it, so he's headed back to a private room. Blokes continue having a go; Foden's mum comes out/ War of words between the two parties & Foden's mum shoves one of the blokes. One of them retaliates by punching her in the head. Both groups shouting/shoving etc. Including his mum again. Foden does go to at the group (either to get at them/protect family), but is held back a bit. More push and shove. When one of the 'harassers' turns his back someone in Foden's party (maybe a brother I've read) nearly smacks them in the back of the head with a fire extinguisher. Clip stops not long after that.

            Wasn’t even last night. Foden didn’t have a neck tattoo in the video even though he has one now

            I should have been more clear- wondering if there was anything on what motivation was. Was it supporters given him crap over the loss to Spurs? Drunk youth looking for social media clout, as mentioned here already? People rightfully offended by his god awful neck tat? The possibilities are endless

          Thanks to all who recommended Foster over DDG. Unless he gets sent after conceding a few he's the winner!
