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As expected, Rui Patrício (£4.5m) has been replaced by John Ruddy (£4.2m) in the starting line-up, but Matt Doherty (£5.5m) also misses out and finds himself among the substitutes.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

Brighton XI: Ryan; Montoya, Duffy, Dunk, Bernardo; Bissouma, Stephens, Pröpper; Knockaert, Murray, Jahanbakhsh.

Huddersfield XI: Lössl; Bacuna, Schindler, Kongolo, Durm; Stankovic; Hogg, Billing; Pritchard; Mounie, Grant.

Burnley XI: Heaton; Bardsley, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Hendrick, Westwood, Cork, McNeil; Barnes, Wood.

Crystal Palace XI: Hennessey; Wan-Bissaka, Dann, Tomkins, van Aanholt; Meyer, Kouyaté, Milivojevic, Schlupp; Batshuayi, Zaha.

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.

Wolves XI: Ruddy; Boly, Coady, Bennett; Vinagre, Saïss, Gibbs-White, Dendoncker, Traoré; Jota, Jiménez.

Cardiff XI: Etheridge; Peltier, Morrison, Bamba, Bennett; Camarasa, Gunnarsson, Ralls, De Cordova-Reid; Zohore; Niasse.

    Who said planning for gw31 was a mistake. It's a different season folks

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      It all depends.. No right or wrong.

      For those of us who didn't have Kun for his 2x hattrick and/or Sterlings hauls it has still been costly

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

      I hope so. Didn't have any starters except Son until now. Up to Hazard(C),Higuain, Vardy, Anderson, Rondon to save my season.

  13. EMBOLOFAN

  18. Whitetiger14
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    The worst GW ever:
    Pogba (C) - penalty miss
    Auba - penalty miss
    Bardsley - Own goal
    Guaita - Did not even start (and no replacement GK)
    Rashford - missed out on assist with pogba penalty miss

    Beat this!

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

      At least you'll be on rough with the smooth this week!

    2. Mattias
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

  19. Jack Burton
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    How come I lost the same number of points as a pogba captainer not happy with that

    1. Jack Burton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

  22. TAT
    • 8 Years

    1. Danno - Emre Canada

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years

  23. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years

    Joe captaining Pogba and Az with Jota first sub.. could be an interesting scoutcast

    1. Mattias
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      All they do is complain these days 😉

  24. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Pogba is more owned than Salah!

  25. SkeletONv01
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

  26. HollywoodXI
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    That penalty would’ve put me top of my ML for the first time since Boxing Day. Cheers Pogba. I swear I’m jinxed with captaincy choices this season.

  27. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    ML rival TCed Aguero. Well, that’s some consolation.

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Another captained Pogba.

  28. TallestJohn
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Dunno how to feel about that as Pogba non-owner but Rashford (C). Probably good.

  29. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Even Mark has a pooper. Sums up the GW

  30. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
