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As expected, Rui Patrício (£4.5m) has been replaced by John Ruddy (£4.2m) in the starting line-up, but Matt Doherty (£5.5m) also misses out and finds himself among the substitutes.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

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

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 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, 2 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.

      4. EMBOLOFAN

        7 years, 2 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
          • 9 Years

        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 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.

      18. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Another captained Pogba.

      19. TallestJohn
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

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

      20. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
