Jonny Evans - Remains out against Wolves Evans is not in the match day squad to face Wolverhampton on Sunday.
Impact Evans was in contention to be available but ultimately will miss out on Sunday's match as he continues to recover from a calf injury. It seemed as if the defender was close to a return so he may be available to feature next weekend against Manchester City.

Jonny Evans - In contention against Wolves Evans (calf) may be available to face Wolverhampton on Sunday. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "I think he'll be out on the [training] pitch, but it might be too soon for h...
Impact Evans missed the club's prior to contests due to his calf problem, having started all nine of his previous appearances. Prior to his absence, the central defender registered 31 clearances, 16 interceptions and 10 tackles (four won) but just one shot (on target). Given his limited offensive upside, Evans shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value except in formats that prioritize defensive stats.

James Maddison - Available against Wolves Maddison served his yellow-card ban and is available for Sunday's trip to Wolverhampton.
Impact Leicester City got a massive win in Maddison's absence midweek and now they'll be back to normal Sunday. Even in the win, the Foxes managed just five shots, so it's not like they were dominant. Maddison has been awesome this season and a midweek rest should help a bit. He's produced three goals and one assist from 16 shots and 12 chances created in his last four starts.

Boubakary Soumare - Contributes at both ends Soumare sent in one cross (zero accurate), made three tackles (one won) and added two clearances while contributing to Thursday's 2-0 clean sheet win over Leeds United.
Impact Soumare's stat line isn't terribly compelling for fantasy purposes, but he was all over the pitch in a great team performance for Leicester City. He was replaced by Nampalys Mendy in the 64th for rest. The clean sheet was Foxes' third in four league matches, and they'll have a decent opportunity to keep the momentum alive Sunday at Wolves. Soumare has made eight appearances (six starts) this EPL season and is averaging about three tackles per match in holding midfield.

Jamie Vardy - Logs 64 quiet minutes in win Vardy logged one clearance across 64 minutes of Thursday's 2-0 victory over Leeds United.
Impact Vardy got the start in this one, but he was bottled up and unable to find the score sheet (or even attempt a shot). As expected, based on manager Brendan Rodgers's recent tactics, he was subbed off midway through the second half for a more energetic Patson Daka. It appears Vardy and Daka will take turns in the starting XI for the rest of the season depending on opponent, rest and strategy.

Danny Ward - Shuts out Leeds at home Ward made two saves and one clearance while maintaining a clean sheet during Thursday's 2-0 victory over Leeds United.
Impact Ward wasn't overly troubled by an uninspired Leeds attack, but the clean sheet result is welcomed nonetheless. Foxes' back line appears to slowly be finding some structure as the season rolls along, and Ward is a primary beneficiary. He now has three shutouts across his last four starts and is averaging almost three saves per match during that span. Next up for Leicester is a trip to Wolverhampton to face a squad that have struggled to score regularly of late.

Dennis Praet - Plays 70 mins in XI Praet had one shot (zero on target), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Thursday's 2-0 win against Leeds United. He also won two tackles and added an interception and a cl...
Impact Praet was in the starting XI after appearing as a substitute his last time out. He acquitted himself rather nicely across 70 minutes of play and was partially responsible for the match's opening own goal. That said, his one corner attempt was a short feed to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, so don't read into too much there. He was replaced with a fresh set of legs in Ayoze Perez during the 71st. With fellow midfielder James Maddison (suspension) set to return to the lineup next time out at Wolves, Praet likely heads back to the bench.

Youri Tielemans - Busy in big win Tielemans took one shot (zero on target), sent in two crosses (zero accurate), made two interceptions and added four tackles (three won) during Thursday's 2-0 win over Leeds United...
Impact Tielemans didn't have the most explosive outing for fantasy purposes, but Leicester supporters will likely be pleased with his performance nonetheless. In any event, he was called upon to take a few free kicks in the absence of fellow midfielder James Maddison and did well defensively across the full 90. His four tackles were a team-high and helped key the clean sheet result.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - Logs helper in Leeds win Dewsbury-Hall logged an assist on one attempted cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Thursday's 2-0 win against Leeds United. He also made two tackles (one won) and dre...
Impact Dewsbury-Hall did well to make the extra pass during the 35th minute and located a completely unmarked Harvey Barnes to help double Leicester City's cushion in this contest. In general, the central midfielder did well alongside Youri Tielemans to cover for an absent James Maddison (suspension), but he notably did not receive many additional set piece opportunities Thursday. Most of those went to Tielemans and Dennis Praet. Still, if Foxes maintain their current form, Dewsbury-Hall can be a fantasy-friendly piece in the middle of the pitch.

Harvey Barnes - Nets third of season in win Barnes scored a goal on one shot (one on target) and added one attempted cross during Thursday's 2-0 victory over Leeds United.
Impact This was a quality showing for Barnes, and his efforts were rewarded with a true team goal during the 35th minute. The tally was assisted by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall after a number of excellent Leicester touches in the build-up. With James Maddison unavailable Thursday for yellow accumulation, Barnes certainly did his part in replacing any lost output on the score sheet and now has three goals across nine league starts. He was relieved just before stoppage time by Kelechi Iheanacho with the result in-hand.

Daniel Amartey - Keeps clean sheet in draw Amartey kept a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw with Crystal Palace.
Impact Amartey started for the first time in nearly six weeks due to the scratch of Jonny Evans (calf) from the lineup. As Wout Faes has surpassed Amartey on the center-back depth chart, Amartey is more reliant on rotation or the absence of others in order to play. A run of two clean sheets in the last three games for the Foxes means that he could offer some value if faced with the right matchup.
