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

    Current FH, anything glaring you'd change? Thanks :

    Pope
    Cancelo / Laporte / Mee
    Bruno / Sterling / Son / JWP
    Kane / Weghorst / Broja

    Foster LIvramento, Allan, Amartey

    1. Atimis

    3 years, 11 months ago

    No sign of the essential Bowen on Free Hits 😮

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years

      Still in Targett’s back pocket

    1. Free Hat
      • 6 Years

      Not sure on Sterling, but looks good yeah.

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Pope surely?

      1. Atimis

  5. cheese XL

    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    On FH, which combo is better?

    A) Dias & KDB
    B) Cancelo & Sterling

    Thanks.

    1. Free Hat
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      C) cancelo and Mahrez would be my pick

  6. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    I'm undecided on what to do, I can field 10 players in GW27.. is it worth a FH? Dilemma is I don't really want to transfer out any of my subs..

    DDG
    Cancelo - Dalot - Ait Nouri - TAA
    Son - Bowen - Coutinho
    Eduoard - Maupay - Broja

    Ramsdale - Salah - Robbo - Saka

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

      I’d just play 10 I think, it might not be a great week but the upside is bigger to free hit in a double imo

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

        Yeah probably wise, I also want to do Eduoard > Weg I think.

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Not if u get get 10 out

  7. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone know the LMS safety score so far?

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

      https://www.livefpl.net/LMS

  8. Viper
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Probably the same as every other free hit but look OK?

    Pope

    Cancelo Mee Bednarek

    Son Fernandes Sterling Mahrez

    Kane Broja Weghorst

    1. Free Hat
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Yes. But rather have a KWP or Livra instead of Bednarek.

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

      Almost the same, see you also made some bench cuttings

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Moder Amartey Tsimikas

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

      Only differences we'll see are the Bednarek & Sterling spots in your team.

      Maybe a United defender or another City one. Then KDB/Foden. Sancho will become popular if people want two City defenders.

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

      Same as mine other than I've gone livra & JWP instead. It'll probably change 16 times before deadline though.

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

    WC team:

    Ramsdale Dubravka
    TAA Cash Cody Livra Cancelo
    Bruno Son Saka Ramsey Raph
    Jimmy Adam Weghorst

    Bruno to Salah in 28*

    Any other bright ideas? Who else is Wcing?

    1. I.K
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Me .. we are few. Just trying build a team to attack 28 , 29 and 30

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

        How is your team shaping up

        1. I.K
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Ramsdale Dubravka
          TAA ,Cody , White,Mee, Cancelo
          Salah, Son Cout JWP, Raph
          Jimmy ,Broja, Weg

          But alot can change The only few I can say are nailed are Ramsdale, Son , Cout,Broja,Weg.

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

      Like the basics of that team, got me thinking of changing strategy

  10. Free Hat
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Is there an obvious Cpt pick next week?
    Having trouble deciding :
    Kane
    Son
    Bruno
    ...

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

      Weggy if you want to play the double. Home vs Leicester is a great fixture!

      If not, I'd target Leeds. Son running in behind or Kane with the chances he'll get in the box, can't go to far wrong with either of them.

      1. Free Hat
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        All have their merits indeed.

        Having Weghorst, cpt a Burnley attacker is still a bridge too far for me Im afraid.
        I like him, but its still Burnley...

  11. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    If you have to choose with already having Son. For GW27 only:
    A. Bruno
    B. Kane

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

      Kane.

    2. ToeBeans
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      B

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

    I remember at the start of the season being adamant on having Bruno over Ronaldo, hasn’t worked out the way it should have done for me but good to see my reasoning at the time is starting to justify itself!

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

    Didn't realize Bruno was such a differential. Only 18% ownership...

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

      I lucked out. Was going to get rid of him but Jota happened.

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

        Yea saving my GW too...

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

      Held rather than KDB, luck

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

    How many goals do you think will get to shake the Leeds net? More than 3?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Hopefully. They are all kinds of bad defensively.

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

      Salah hattrick

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

      * Spurs goals

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

        Hope for none (dislike Spurs). Think it will be *at least* three

    4. Viper
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      6

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

        lol

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

    GW27 team no bench, do I need a City mid?

    1FT anyone worth getting in?

    DDG
    Cancelo, Sanchez, Digne,
    Zaha, Bowen, Bruno, Gallagher,
    Weghurt, Dennis, Maupay,

    Rambo, Salah, Trent, Teirney,

    2.2

  16. Viper
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Just to be clear, there's no way I could limp through with this, it has to be free hit yeah? 🙂

    Foster

    Kilman Coady Digne

    Coutinho Son (c) Raphinha

    Broja Jimenez

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

      Not necessarily ... still have FT?

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Yep. Would be selling Pool/Arsenal though

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

          In isolation I wouldn't FH, so depending on your plan for next few GWs (as you said selling ARS LIV etc.) ...

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

      Live a little

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        The plan was always to FH, just haven't hit the button yet

    3. Viper
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      A) Foster Kilman Coady Digne Coutinho Raphinha Jimenez

      B) Pope Cancelo Mee Bednarek Mahrez Sterling Fernandes Kane Weghorst

      Do you reckon B outscores A by more than 20?

      Do you

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

      Would be more of a crawl than a limp

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Fair 😀

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

          Still might be worth soldiering through

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

    People here managed to change my plans from FH27, FH30, WC and BB around 36 to
    WC27, BB28, FH33, FH36.

    Why?

    In this way I could prepare for the uninspiring GW30 fixs without using a chip + have a good team until GW 30 and then have both FHs for 33 and 36.

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

      So how long will you be stuck with the- your word- uninspiring team you field for GW 30? I am feeling slow this morning and could be wrong, but it looks like you’d have the GW 30 squad until 33. Apologies in advance if I have grossly misread things

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Only having 3 liverpool, Chelsea, arsenal in wc team and no bench for gw27 not great

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

      The problem with WC27 is you don't have enough info yet.

      We will know the GW30 blanks for sure in GW28. There's also the possibility of Chelsea doubling in 28, Chelsea's doubles in general since they have really nice base fixtures.

      I have no interest whatsoever in WC27 as a result. A GW28 WC is quite a bit different from a WC27 imo and Burnley is a big reason. I don't want any Burnley beyond this week.

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

        You have a point, mate. FH27 hello again 😀

  18. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Threw this together on FH 🙂
    Look solid?

    Pope
    Cancelo Laporte Mee
    Son Mahrez Bruno Raphinha
    Kane Weg Broja
    (Foster, KWP, Burn, Allan)

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

      100+ points, captain on?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Harry given the form?

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

          Got my blessings there 😛

    2. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Looks pretty good to me.

      Personally going for double City attack if I can work out who to pick.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah, I should probably pick up Foden

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

          Double city defenders rather

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Prefer the double defence yeah?

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

              Based on difficulty to predict the mid starters and distributed points between them

    3. BullDogTevez
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Similar. I’m on

      Pope
      Cancelo maguire Stones(punt)
      Kdb fernandes son cornet
      Kane broja weg

  19. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Which City combo would you pick on FH?

    A KDB Laporte Cancelo
    B Mahrez Sterling Cancelo

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

      B, atm.

  20. Big Ronnie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Had originally planned to FH this week but with the rearranged fixture announcement persuaded myself I could get away without using it so was less aggressive with my transfers. Not so sure now.
    Free hit or 2/3 transfers for a -4/-8?

    DDG
    Digne, TAA, Cancelo, Saiss, Coufal*
    Bruno, Foden, Bowen
    Antonio, Dennis

    Ramsdale* Salah*, TAA*, Saka* Archer*

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Depends what 2-3 transfers you make as you can only sell the low cost players really. Makes it very hard. In a similar boat

  21. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Evening All,

    Do we think Dalot comes back in for United again after today?

    Many Thanks.

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

      I think he plays vs Atleti, who knows then...

      Don't buy, don't sell.

    2. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I think so - played most of the games lately and seems to have done well.

  22. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Current WC squad. Thoughts?

    Pope Foster
    Kilman Livra Cancelo TAA Targett
    Salah Son Coutinho Bowen Saka
    Broja Jiminez Weghorst

  23. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    FH27 is such a conundrum for me...

    My team has a lot of players that would make a FH squad already but still I'm only fielding 10 and there's some high ceiling picks available as well.

    FH: Pope, Mee, Sterling, Son, Fernandes,
    Non-FH: DDG, Dalot, Maddison, Bowen, XX

    6 players already in my team I'd pick for a FH team (after I do King > Weghorst as my FT) including Kane and Mahrez.

    Will the FH get me 20+ points more?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I’d FH. Looks much nicer

    2. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I’m really stuck on this too.currently have 11 available for 27 (Ait Nouri iffy after going off) I’m chasing in my ML so cannot decide whether to use 1 FH to gain some ground or not

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

      I think so

    4. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Show the full Team?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        If I don't FH I can get:

        DDG
        Cancelo Dalot Livra
        Maddison Bowen Mahrez XX
        Weghorst Broja Kane

        It looks decent on paper. But the FH does make big budget improvements. Bowen and Maddison basically become Sterling and Fernandes and I get Burnley doublers.

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Close call mate. Who would you captain?

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Mahrez or Weghorst. Will see how Burnley look midweek.

    5. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Do you measure the success of FH predominantly on the 20+ of GW27 points? Any other benefits of using FH27 to team for 28 and 29?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Not sure what you mean. The only thing is I get to keep Josh King instead of Weghorst for GW28. Yay. Makes no difference.

        FH is purely to score more points than what I'd otherwise field.

    6. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I think in your circumstances there’ll be a better opportunity.

      I’m FH27 but I deliberately set up my team that way. Looks like you’ve got a decent team already.

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

      Looks like you cover the main threats including Mahrez who seems to be the template City mid on FH and Kane, so probably worth saving. Only risk is if MUN go wild, but Watford aren't looking quite as bad defensively anymore.

  24. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Activate FH or wait till Friday? Cheers

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

      Wait

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Can i ask why?

              I would cancel the holiday personally or see if you can postpone until the FPL season is done 😉

          More info. Something may happen that requires you not to FH.

      A lot are doing now

      Wondering the same. With postponements seemingly a thing of the past, is there much to be gained by waiting? Equally, doubt we’ll be priced out of a team? But it’s fun to pull the trigger early and tinker!

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        I’m going to pull it. Off on hols tomorrow and want to just get it in place for now and have a little play when I can this week

          Nice one. Good way to approach it. Enjoy the holiday!

    Thoughts on the plan below?

    -4 for this week.

    Cancelo Digne Semedo
    Son(C) Rashford Bowen Ramsey
    Ronaldo King Broja

    GW28-7 Dgwers with Son Cancelo Jota

  27. Biggsy

    FH going well this week but means I have this mess back for 27 before a 28 WC
    DDG (Foster)
    Cancelo, Digne, Cucurella (TAA, White)
    Bruno, Bowen, Trossard, Gray* (Jota)

    Thoughts on:
    A. Jota & Antonio -> Broja & Son (-4)
    B. Cucurella, Jota & Antonio -> Livramento, Son & Weghorst (-8)
    C. Jota & Trossard -> JWP & midfielder (maybe Cornet, Coutinho

  28. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Do I FH this lot?

    Am chasing in my ML and have 2 x FH and 1 x BB, no WC left

    Current team at -4

    Sa (Foster)
    Cancelo Laporte Ait Nouri Digne (TAA)
    Son Bowen Ramsey (Salah) (Saka)

    Thanks in advance

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

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

      Not a chance

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks both much appreciated

      No way, your team already looks as good as many of the drafts on here almost

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Many thanks. Am at -4 at the mo bringing in both Son and Weghorst. Just got to hope Ait Nouri features and I stand a chance of fielding 11

    Who does everyone think are the best (i.e. most nailed) MCI targets for GW27?

    Right now I’m on Cancelo, Laporte and Mahrez.

    I’m considering KDB vs. Bruno but could go for KdB and drop Laporte…

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

    I might actually FH 28 and 29

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

      Can’t twice in a row

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

        I have hardly any of the doublers from either of the weeks

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          How is that possible...

          If you have Arsenal and Liverpool you have GW29 doublers.

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

            Sorry, yeah I mean hardly any relative to what others seem to be planning on going in with - I’ve got just 4 in total from Arsenal and Liverpool - feel it’s worth the FHs to get out 11 doublers
