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

    Reece James back next week

    Chelsea hope to have him involved as soon as possible

    On the dgw radar

    https://twitter.com/mailsport/status/1495446940796039170?s=21

    1. OverTinker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Pass.

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

      28 will probably come too soon for him.

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

      His price change is annoying, he fell like 0.1m going from 3.3m owners to 0.9m dead teams

  14. gellinmagellan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    What happens when you're having a terrible season. I had a gut feeling about Podence because he's looked so sharp in the last couple of matches, but couldn't back myself to get him in...season keeps getting worse for me, and I keep making decisions I regret 🙁

    1. MJF
        4 years, 3 months ago

        The game's so much more fun when you back yourself but it's not always easy to do.

        1. gellinmagellan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          It is but when you end up second or third or fourth guessing yourself when you don't have any sort of momentum going and the cycle keeps getting worse

    2. MJF
        4 years, 3 months ago

        All that fuss about Wolves defence and they've been very fortunate to have only conceded one so far.

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          They've conceded the fewest goals this season tho

        2. OverTinker
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          They have actually been great. Actually I brought saiss in

          1. MJF
              4 years, 3 months ago

              I think Leicester deserve a point!

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

            Definitely making me kind of want to stick with Bowen on FH

        3. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Maddy & Nacho on

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

            I love Nachos

            1. NorCal Villan
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Not sure I could fully trust anyone who hates nachos

        4. HD7
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Mates, wondering which strategy is better with the chips?

          I was thinking FH 27 FH 30 and then Wac around 35 and BB with the DGW.

          But my opponent has got nice advantage with having Weghorst, Son and Raphinha this week... so wondering If it is better to:

          WC27 and then FH in 33 and 36.
          Which teams should we focus on If we want players for 30?

          1. Bobby Digital
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            I'm going WC27 and BB28. Saving both FHs for later.

            1. HD7
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Yes this is what Im contemplating... how do we get GW30 ready?

              1. _Ninja_
                • 15 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Arsenal, Villa, Wolves, Leeds, Lei don't blank. Bur and Southampton might not either.

          2. Baps Hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            I think there are other viable strategies also. But the match is on.

            1. Baps Hunter
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Even FH27 WC28 might be worth considering

              1. HD7
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Wont have info in 28 which teams will have DGW in 33 and 36

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

          KDH touch in this game has been woeful.

        6. Steinburg FC
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          anybody else hit the WC this week?

          1. Bobby Digital
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            o/

          2. Kannbury
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Yes.

            1. Steinburg FC
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              BB 28?

              1. Kannbury
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Yes I think so 🙂

          3. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            FH

        7. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Will Air Nouri start all games when he's fit?

          1. The Philosopher
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Air pretty vital. Must start all games.

            1. Bobby Digital
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              *Tumbleweed*

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

            Doubtful, he's decent going forward but not great defensively.

            Marcal & Jonny are there.

            1. Bobby Digital
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Ok cheers

        8. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Jimmy has been pants.

          1. Bobby Digital
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Probably going Weghorst over him...

        9. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Podence back on the menu chaps!

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

          Good to see Neto back. He looked a great prospect before his injury.

        11. Nightcrawler
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          The arsenal wolves game is going to be one huge borefest

          1. Old Man
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            cue 3-3

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

            1-1
            ESR and Podence

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

            And we love to see it oh YES we do

        12. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Any word on when Vardy is back?

        13. Sterling Archer
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Any huge risk using 2nd free hit this gw?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            The other 11 GWS.

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

            Yes. BGW in 30, and BGW/DGW combo in GW33 too.

            1. Baps Hunter
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              This^ I took -16 before last dl and will probably have to take -4 or -8 before next dl.

        14. DAZZ
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          One more Sa save could take him in the bonus

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

            Maddison is more than willing to oblige.

        15. HonestBlatter
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          One save is missing from Jose Sa....FPL towers please fix that

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

            How?

        16. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Ait Nouri avoids 2nd YC

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

            Marcal to start the Arsenal game? 😮

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

              Good for Saka if so! 😀

              1. Scholes Out For Summer
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Marcal better at defending, definitely not better for Saka

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

                  I remember watching a Marcal game earlier in the season where he was woeful defensively

            2. Baps Hunter
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              He actually may

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

            That could easily be his DGW over.

            Saka would ruin him!

            1. NorCal Villan
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Please let this happen!

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

            Ryan got him I think
