Is Marc Albrighton on loan at Sky Sports?

I'm guessing he will retire at the end of the season and is laying the groundwork for a pundit role

Faes captain when Vardy, Ricardo and Coady are on the pitch?

It gets rotated between the "leadership group", there's no actual captain.

[Corky]

Where's Big Nige? 

[lnkstern]

Hopefully not, but possibly the second-to-last match for Jamie Vardy with Leicester.

 

Makes me sad.  I hope they can work out a one-more-year deal.

Haha, this is giving me Brighton at home vibes……

You know, that game still wrankles with me a bit. 

 

I thought it was out of order.

Seeing as when he is on the pitch Vardy always has the armband, I would say there obviously is

Bit young for retirement.

 

Could definitely do a job for a smaller club like Derby in this division.

They all hungover still? Weird one to rest players for when we could wrap the league up tonight.

I like that line up ,giving players a chance  we are up anyway,,and we have a strong bench 

Up the foxes 

[EastAnglianFox]

80% of the squad still on the Peroni and Cannon still can’t get a start

In Colin’s basement … he’s not been sighted since last Tuesday! Rumours abound it involves a gimp mask and some very white trainers 🤷🏽‍♂️

[wokinghamfox]

I'm lost by this line up. It's a cup final for FS.

[foxy boxing]

I just hope he isn't taking the opposition too lightly with this line up. Hopefully Yunis and McAteer step up with performances. Celebrating promotion all well and good but there is still work to be done.

Well maybe this was Enzo's intended team should we have reached the F A Cup final.

Mads being sold in the summer is a given I feel

Putting Faes as captain when Ricardo, Vardy and Coady are on the pitch feels very make a wish.

Nah, party tonight and do the business in front of the fans next weekend if we need to

Because he's not playing in one game?

[BigGibbo]

I guess the team has been picked based on lowest blood alcohol level?

 

As long as Coady is starting I'm happy.

[Aus Fox]

Is there a set amount of games you need to play to get a League Title Winners medal? Might explain some of the players selected? Get them their medal if they’ve done the hard work off the pitch all season.

Which is why I'm shocked Vardy is starting

Probably wise if you wish to preserve your record...

Stolen from a Plymouth forum last season after a quick google:

 

To be eligible to receive a Championship, League One or Two winners medal, a player must have been named on the team sheet in at least 25% of the club’s league fixtures in that season.

“Any medals agreed over and above those detailed above will be at cost to the Club concerned.”

That means players must have played in, or been on the bench for 12 games.
