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As expected, Rui Patrício (£4.5m) has been replaced by John Ruddy (£4.2m) in the starting line-up, but Matt Doherty (£5.5m) also misses out and finds himself among the substitutes.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. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Yep. No ambition to push forward. Seems to have orders to put more defensive work in without Matic and Herrera.

    Remember the gw when I captained Pogba over Salah! And such decision making people like me are in top 5k. Captaining a CM over RW when both are listed as midfielders. What a knee jerk after seing captain poll

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years

      Haha almost fell for it myself. Hopefully no regret tomorrow with Higuaín C over Salah

      I thought Pep was complaining Aguero was exhausted?

      1. tisza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Only 1 sub left though

      2. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        I guess he would have been already off if Pep didn't have to use his 2 substitutions already

      3. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        If you actually watch his whole press conference, he said the opposite.

      4. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        He never did. He said he was exhausted during the last 10-15 minutes of the last game. Had nothing to do with his overall level of fatigue.

        1. 42towels
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          This. The community here has its own way of interpreting and playing Chinese whispers with quotes.

    • Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Pogba is so egoistic. He isn't trying to score right now at all so we can get some points too. Mourinho was right.

    • Zladan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Would like to see MOTM Pereira come off for Fred please.
