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As expected, Rui Patrício (£4.5m) has been replaced by John Ruddy (£4.2m) in the starting line-up, but Matt Doherty (£5.5m) also misses out and finds himself among the substitutes.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

  2. Regin
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 days ago

    Can't believe I captained Pogba over Jimenez, Salah and mane.

  3. Revival

      1. sunzip14
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 days 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, 8 days ago

        why? lots of Schindler owners

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

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

    7. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years

    8. sully29

    9. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

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

    10. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      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, 8 days ago

        But he hauls occasionally

    11. Regin
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

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

    21. Brosstan

      1. Hughes Your Daddy
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 8 days ago

        You mean Luka?

    22. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

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

      It would have been some goal if it went in.

    23. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

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

    24. HonestBlatter

      7 years, 8 days ago

      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
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 days ago

        Huh?

        1. Zladan
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 8 days ago

          My question too. Did he concede?

    26. fusen
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 days 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
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 days ago

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

      2. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 8 days ago

        I bet he would be great at writing horoscopes.
