Boubakary Soumare - On bench in UECL Soumare (personal) returned to the bench for Thursday's UECL match against Roma.

Impact Soumare had missed the last month due to a variety of issues, but he returned to the squad Thursday. While he has 16 starts across league and Europa League, he's not expected to play a factor the rest of the way with Leicester's midfield relatively healthy.

Timothy Castagne - Leaves as precaution midweek Castagne was forced off before the break as a precaution in Thursday's UECL match against Roma. According to manager Brendan Rodgers, "He had a head clash and his history, when he...

Impact There's a chance Castagne could've continued Thursday, but he immediately went down the tunnel with medical stuff, so he likely had to be checked. He was making his third-straight start for the Foxes and had to be replaced by James Justin in Thursday's match. As long as he didn't suffer anything serious, he could be back in the XI this weekend.

Danny Ward - Back on bench Ward was on the bench for Leicester's last couple matches, returning from a knee operation.

Impact Ward is the No. 2 goalkeeper once again after missing a month following a minor knee operation. He's yet to feature in league play this season and that's unlikely to change the rest of the way unless he gets a spot start in the season finale, especially if Leicester keep advancing in UECL.

Wesley Fofana - Two blocks during start Fofana logged two blocks across 90 minutes during a 0-0 draw Saturday versus Aston Villa.

Impact Fofana was the only Leicester City footballer to log multiple blocks Saturday. Though he suffered multiple injuries during 2021, fantasy managers should expect him regularly starting alongside fellow central defender Caglar Soyuncu. Daniel Amartey and Jonny Evans will occasionally record starts when Fofana requires some rest.

Caglar Soyuncu - Serviceable Saturday Soyuncu logged two won tackles and four clearances during a 0-0 draw Saturday versus Aston Villa.

Impact Soyuncu and James Justin won more tackles than any of their teammates did Saturday. The former averaged 4.5 clearances across his last four Premier League games at Leicester.

APRIL 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jamie Vardy - Records return Vardy (knee) played 19 minutes during a 0-0 draw Saturday versus Aston Villa.

Impact A knee injury forced Vardy to sit out the Leicester City team's previous six Premier League games. So on Saturday, he logged his first appearance since March 5. Fantasy managers should expect Vardy to be the team's primary striker. Unfortunately for Kelechi Iheanacho and Patson Daka, they will receive less playing time again.

James Michael Justin - Serviceable Saturday Justin logged two won tackles and one accurate cross during a 0-0 draw Saturday versus Aston Villa.

Impact Justin and Caglar Soyuncu won more tackles than any of their teammates did Saturday. The former logged Leicester City's only accurate cross as well. Though the team possesses no elite defenders fantasy-wise, he may have more upside than others. Multiple injuries prevented Justin from showing his talent across most of 2021.

Kasper Schmeichel - Back on track Schmeichel maintained the clean sheet during a 0-0 draw Saturday versus Aston Villa.

Impact By maintaining a clean sheet Saturday, Schmeichel is back on track after logging an unimpressive stat line Wednesday. He had conceded one goal and saved less than three shots against Everton.

APRIL 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jamie Vardy - On bench Saturday Vardy (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Vardy is back in the squad Saturday after missing the last month and a half with a knee injury. He hasn't been truly healthy since December, so he'll likely be worked back slowly and will hopefully get minutes Saturday or even Thursday in UECL. Patson Daka is starting against Villa and Kelechi Iheanacho also has a chance to come in before Vardy.

Boubakary Soumare - Attending to personal matter Soumare will not be available against Aston Villa on Saturday due to a personal matter. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "There's no-one injured. Bouba Soumare is still out,...

Impact While it appears Soumare's groin problem is at least behind him, he still won't be available versus Villa. The midfielder has appeared in just one of the club's last nine contests and will likely remain a fringe roster player moving forward. As such, Soumare is unlikely to offer much in terms of fantasy value if he does rejoin the squad this season.

APRIL 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jamie Vardy - In contention versus Villa Vardy (knee) could be an option against Aston Villa on Saturday. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, He's trained with the squad. Hopefully he'll be back involved tomorrow (Sat...

Impact Vardy has missed 11 of the Foxes' last 13 contests while dealing with injuries but could be back in action Saturday. When fit this year, the forward has racked up 10 goals on 42 shots (18 on target) in 22 appearances across domestic and European competition. As such, Vardy should be capable of offering top-end fantasy value if he starts versus Villa.

APRIL 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kasper Schmeichel - Concedes once in draw Schmeichel allowed one goal while making two saves in Wednesday's 1-1 draw versus Everton.

Impact Schmeichel has now gone six matches without securing a clean sheet, though he has only allowed eight goals over that stretch while making 23 saves. In 38 domestic appearances last year, the keeper registered 11 clean sheets, a mark he won't be able to repeat this year considering he has just five shutouts in 2021-22.

APRIL 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - Launches six crosses Dewsbury-Hall recorded six crosses (two accurate), two corners and two chances created versus Everton on Wednesday.

Impact Dewsbury-Hall led the team in crosses for the third time in his last four outings. Given his ability to drive the attack, Dewsbury-Hall figures to remain a top-end fantasy target for the remainder of the 2021-22 campaign, including Saturday's matchup with Aston Villa.

APRIL 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

James Maddison - Registers five shots Maddison recorded five shots (two on target), four crosses (zero accurate) and two corners versus Everton on Wednesday.

Impact Maddison has started five of the club's last six contests in which he garnered one goal on 11 shots (four on target), two assists, 26 crosses (seven accurate) and 11 corners. The attacking midfielder should continue to push the attack for Foxes heading into the final games of the season and therefore should be considered a top-end fantasy target.

APRIL 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Harvey Barnes - Scores goal versus Everton Barnes scored a goal on two shots (one on target) against Everton on Wednesday.

Impact Barnes hadn't put an effort on target in four straight matches before scoring in Wednesday's tilt. Still, the attacking midfielder has scored just twice in his previous 14 outings, so fantasy players shouldn't be expecting him to score with any regularity moving forward.
