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
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Pass.

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

      28 will probably come too soon for him.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 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
    3 years, 11 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
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 11 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
        3 years, 11 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

  15. MJF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

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

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

      They've conceded the fewest goals this season tho

    2. OverTinker
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      They have actually been great. Actually I brought saiss in

      1. MJF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        I think Leicester deserve a point!

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

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

  16. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Maddy & Nacho on

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

      I love Nachos

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

        Not sure I could fully trust anyone who hates nachos

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

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

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

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

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

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

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Even FH27 WC28 might be worth considering

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

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

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

    KDH touch in this game has been woeful.

  19. Steinburg FC
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    anybody else hit the WC this week?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      o/

    2. Wirtzel Gummidge
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Yes.

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

        BB 28?

        1. Wirtzel Gummidge
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Yes I think so 🙂

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      FH

  20. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Air pretty vital. Must start all games.

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        *Tumbleweed*

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

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

      Marcal & Jonny are there.

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Ok cheers

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

    Jimmy has been pants.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Probably going Weghorst over him...

  22. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Podence back on the menu chaps!

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

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

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

    The arsenal wolves game is going to be one huge borefest

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      cue 3-3

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

      ESR and Podence

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

      And we love to see it oh YES we do

  25. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Any word on when Vardy is back?

  26. Sterling Archer
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Any huge risk using 2nd free hit this gw?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      The other 11 GWS.

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

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

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

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

  27. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    One more Sa save could take him in the bonus

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

      Maddison is more than willing to oblige.

  28. HonestBlatter
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

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

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

      How?

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

    Ait Nouri avoids 2nd YC

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

      Marcal to start the Arsenal game? 😮

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

        Good for Saka if so! 😀

        1. Scholes Out For Summer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Marcal better at defending, definitely not better for Saka

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

        He actually may

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

      That could easily be his DGW over.

      Saka would ruin him!

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

        Please let this happen!

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

      Ryan got him I think
