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As expected, Rui Patrício (£4.5m) has been replaced by John Ruddy (£4.2m) in the starting line-up, but Matt Doherty (£5.5m) also misses out and finds himself among the substitutes.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

    1. TAT
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      • 16 Years

    7 years, 10 days ago

  13. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  14. waitinginthelonggrass
    • 15 Years

  15. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    This is quite pathetic from city

  16. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Periera is playing the position us Pogba cappers want Pogba to play.

  17. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Plz Sterling!
    I trusted u

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

  18. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    • 8 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

  20. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    How did I fall into the trap of getting a Burnley striker.

    1. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Hardly a trap scoring in 3 consecutive games and having good fixtures and no blank.

  21. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Bats under the radar!

  22. Patch

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Best to freeze it first, much easier to eat it that way 😉

  24. Adriano
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    What a great week for a differential captain. Too bad I picked Pogba

  25. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Guess I'm not the only one starting Doherty over AWB -_-

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Me 2. Plenty of us in the same boat. I would have always do that however I was debating between him and Pereira

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Started Periera as well. Hopefully he can do something. Been a terrible investment so far.

  26. rnrd
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Ergggg Pogba plays so deep..
    hopefully he will get 15 min higher

  27. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Sterling SoT

  28. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    AWB first sub, doh.

    Rotten captaincy choice again. Practically anyone else would have made a big difference. Least a lot of folk in my ML went for Pogba too

  29. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Fook off Sterling..

  30. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
