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As expected, Rui Patrício (£4.5m) has been replaced by John Ruddy (£4.2m) in the starting line-up, but Matt Doherty (£5.5m) also misses out and finds himself among the substitutes.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

    I would be so sad if I’d captained Pogba for this performance (which always seemed likely)

    I’m so surprised Lukaku wasn’t the sort of player to throw toys out the pram when he was dropped.

    He’s come back, played out of position and has played very well for the team. Credit to him.

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      He’s always worked incredibly hard and been a team player from what I’ve seen

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years

      Love him

    3. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Not sure why you'd be surprised. Always struck me as a hard worker and never indicated he had a bad attitude.

  15. Mini Mahouse
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Bought Sterling in for Salah before christmas and lost first place in my mini league. Promised myself never to do this again.

    Stupid me does this again now, captains sterling and he´s shite again.
