Fantasy Premier League managers in possession of Sergio Aguero (£11.7m) or Raheem Sterling (£11.4m) can breathe a sigh of relief after the release of Manchester City’s Gameweek 29 team news.

Both players have been named in the starting XI to face Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium this afternoon.

Despite returning to full fitness, Gabriel Jesus (£9.9m) was ready enough only for the bench, where Leroy Sané (£9.4m) also finds himself for the third time in five Gameweeks.

It gets even better for Aguero and Sterling owners as Bournemouth have gone with something of an experimental side.

In Steve Cook‘s (£4.4m) absence, 22-year-old Jack Simpson (£3.8m) comes in for his first start of the season while Nathan Aké (£5.0m) has been pushed into central midfield.

David Brooks (£5.0m) returns to the starting XI but there is still no Callum Wilson (£6.3m).

Meanwhile, as was rumoured, there were five major changes to the Wolves side to face Cardiff.

As expected, Rui Patrício (£4.5m) has been replaced by John Ruddy (£4.2m) in the starting line-up, but Matt Doherty (£5.5m) also misses out and finds himself among the substitutes.

Rúben Neves (£4.9m), Jonny (£4.4m) and Joao Moutinho (£5.4m) are also on the bench, but Raúl Jiménez (£6.9m) keeps his place.

Marcus Rashford (£7.7m) is back in the Manchester United side to face Southampton but it will be interesting to see if he plays as a central striker or is pushed wide by Romelu Lukaku (£10.7m), who did so well there against Crystal Palace.

As expected, Paul Pogba (£9.0m) keeps his place in central midfield.

Full Line-ups

Bournemouth XI: Boruc; Daniels, Simpson, Mepham, Clyne; Fraser, Surman, Brooks, Aké, A Smith; King.

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Otamendi, Zinchenko, Gundogan, Silva, De Bruyne, Sterling, Bernardo, Aguero.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Montoya, Duffy, Dunk, Bernardo; Bissouma, Stephens, Pröpper; Knockaert, Murray, Jahanbakhsh.

Huddersfield XI: Lössl; Bacuna, Schindler, Kongolo, Durm; Stankovic; Hogg, Billing; Pritchard; Mounie, Grant.

Burnley XI: Heaton; Bardsley, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Hendrick, Westwood, Cork, McNeil; Barnes, Wood.

Crystal Palace XI: Hennessey; Wan-Bissaka, Dann, Tomkins, van Aanholt; Meyer, Kouyaté, Milivojevic, Schlupp; Batshuayi, Zaha.

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Young, Smalling, Lindelöf, Shaw; McTominay, Andreas Pereira, Pogba; Rashford, Lukaku, Sánchez.

Southampton XI: Gunn; Bednarek, Yoshida, Vestergaard; Valery, Ward-Prowse, Oriol Romeu, Højbjerg, Bertrand; Redmond, Austin.

Wolves XI: Ruddy; Boly, Coady, Bennett; Vinagre, Saïss, Gibbs-White, Dendoncker, Traoré; Jota, Jiménez.

Cardiff XI: Etheridge; Peltier, Morrison, Bamba, Bennett; Camarasa, Gunnarsson, Ralls, De Cordova-Reid; Zohore; Niasse.
