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As expected, Rui Patrício (£4.5m) has been replaced by John Ruddy (£4.2m) in the starting line-up, but Matt Doherty (£5.5m) also misses out and finds himself among the substitutes.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

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.

    1. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I do, I have triple Huds defense. Seriously, but always on bench. Happy that they have conceded at least I do not have to see their points on bench like last gw. Stankovic already has a CS point and is subbed though 😀

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      why? lots of Schindler owners

  9. Samwise the Brave

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Huge amount of competition for places and time for a rest, perhaps. Could be another reason too

    Big goal for Brighton.

  13. Mo Mané Mo Problems
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Is it bad I just captained Sterling to jinx certain posters on here?

    Think I might get rid of Doherty, no point in having if he gets rotated for the very games you want him for and he ends up with stupid 1-pointers blocking hauls.

    1. PocketZola
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      But he hauls occasionally

  15. Regin
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Had pogba played in his usual position, united would have won this.

  26. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Aguero off the underside of the crossbar from about 25 yards out.

    It would have been some goal if it went in.

  27. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Zaha/AWB/Batsman/Luka all having a great game! Come on you Palace!

    Ryan no CS again 🙁 damn it. Fabianski owners will kill me now. Fabianski is on my bench obviously. I followed bookies 🙁

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 12 Years

      Huh?

      1. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        My question too. Did he concede?

  30. fusen
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Is it ever worth listening to what Pep says?

    Does he actually ever mean any of it or is it just to screw with the media?

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      You need to watch his press conference in full. This was expected.

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I bet he would be great at writing horoscopes.
