The final match of Gameweek 19 takes place this evening, with Wolverhampton Wanderers in action against Manchester City.

Kick-off at Molineux is at 19:45 GMT.

There are no shocks from Nuno Espirito Santo, who names the same team for the fifth game running.

Indeed, over the last ten Gameweeks (including this one), Romain Saiss (£4.4m) is the only member of the starting XI who isn’t an ever-present – and even he only missed out in Gameweek 14 due to suspension.

That means that Adama Traore (£5.3m), Raul Jimenez (£7.5m) and Diogo Jota (£6.1m) again form a three-man attack for the hosts, who appear to be in their usual 3-4-3 set-up.

There is an unexpected absentee in the Manchester City squad, with Gabriel Jesus (£9.6m) not involved due to illness.

In his place, Sergio Aguero (£11.7m) makes his first league start in over a month.

Aguero had been absent until last weekend with a groin injury but had a brief cameo at the Etihad as Pep Guardiola’s side beat Leicester City 3-1.

The only other change to the City starting XI sees Rodri (£5.4m) recalled, with Ilkay Gundogan (£5.2m) dropping to the bench.

Kevin De Bruyne (£10.5m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.8m) start again for the visitors, who face Sheffield United in less than 48 hours time.

Wolves’ Gameweek 20 fixture is at Anfield on Sunday, meanwhile.

Santo’s troops won the reverse fixture of this game 2-0, with Traore and Jimenez both registering double-digit hauls after combining for Wolves’ two goals.

De Bruyne missed that game through injury and it remains the one league fixture that City haven’t scored in this season.


Wolves XI: Patricio, Dendoncker, Coady, Saiss, Doherty, Neves, Moutinho, Jonny, Traore, Jimenez, Jota.

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Mendy, Rodri, Mahrez, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Sterling, Aguero.

    Early swoop for Alli looks like it might backfire spectacularly 😀
    Oh well it was bound happen at some stage I suppose. Oops.

    1. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He´s playing tomorrow. Moura and Sessegnon were crap, half fit Alli starts.

      1. Pinturicchio10
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Half fit is not a good thing!

    KDB owner but non capper, am I hoping for a blank?

      If high up, yes for OR.

        thought so, thanks.

    Own KDB would love a red card. Rattle the template a bit

    1. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Even if you had captained him

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I haven't so that's irrelevant

        1. Woy_is_back
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I have and he´s getting a 20 pointer

  5. Esalman
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Need 37 points from KDB to break into top 500k.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      19pts x 2 will do 🙂

      1. Esalman
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        That's the problem, didn't (c) him.

    2. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Does no1 in front of you have him?

      1. Esalman
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        The stat is from livefpl, I'd assume they account for ownership.

  6. Coys96
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Bought Kelly for 4.0 and Rico for 4.2. Which to get rid of for Trent:

    1. Kelly
    2. Rico
    3. Neither

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Kells on borrowed time surely

    2. OverTinker
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      hold both

    3. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I just did this poll mate and everyone said 1

    4. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Would you not bother with Trent if hold?

  7. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Best options on a WC:

    A: Aurier + Alli + Dendocker (fodder)
    B: Kiko + Mount + Maddison in a strong front 8
    C: Aurier + Maddison + Cantwell (fodder)

  8. -GK22-
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    What’s the thinking as best captain choice?

    KDB
    Salah
    vardy???

    1. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      KdB atm

      1. Pieterke30
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        ? Could very well be benched though

    2. OverTinker
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Kane

    3. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Salah

  9. Ronnies
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Best transfer ?

    A) Tammy > Kane

    B) Alli > Mane

    I have TAA & Salah

    Cheers.

  10. davies
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Surely Fabianski becomes an option from next week?

    (BOU, shu, EVE, lei/LIV, BHA)

    Especially if Pellegrini gets sacked...

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yep, he’s due a drop to 4.8 soon as well

      1. davies
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Perfect Gazza replacement I think

  11. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Dcl better option than Ings / Deulo?

    1. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      No

    2. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      no

  12. Dazzrb
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Zaha to who? Only have .2 in the bank... Grealish has 3 away games in the next 4

    1. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      keep for next 2/3

    2. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Keep for next two

  13. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Just want to make this weeks moves so that I can stop thinking about it and put my mind at rest:

    1. Henderson >> Ramsdale
    2. Kelly Tammy >> TAA Greenwood

    Note: if 2 then I will do 1 next week.

    Thanks
    Henderson
    Aurier Soyuncu Rico
    KDB Mane Salah Grealish

  15. boroie

    6 years, 8 months ago

    What should I do with this?

    2 FTs, £0.0 ITB

    Gazzaniga
    Aurier Rico Soyuncu
    Mane(C) Martial(VC) KDB Alli

  16. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC team?

    Ramsdale - 4.0
    TAA - Sidibé - Evans - Lundstram - Kelly
    Salah - KDB - Maddison - Moura - Dendoncker
    Vardy - Rashford - Maupay

    Thanks guys!

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      grealish for muapay n play 352?

    2. Taff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      What formation are you looking at?

  17. boroie
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Captain...

    A - Vardy
    B - Mane
    C - Martial

    1. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      C

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      C if you want a 100% certain starter. B otherwise

    3. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Wouldn't put the armband near A or B.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Why?

    4. FPL Pillars
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Any other choices?

      1. boroie
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Alli, KDB, Rashford

  18. Burger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    What's KDB'S top 10k EO?

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      104%

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      105%.

      Basically if you own, but have not captained, he is pretty much irrelevant to your OR.

      1. Burger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Crap 🙁

  19. doppelganger
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Zaha to Moura?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      nah

    2. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      no

  20. Taff
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    If you were in a first WC, expiring tonight, would you now try and get Aguero in?

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Lets see at FT, a early subbing would be ideal but I can't see him starting twice in less than 48hrs.

      Jesus illness likely an excuse for a resting.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Contemplating this myself, would need to downgrade in midfield to get him in though.

      1. Taff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I’d need to sacrifice one of Salah or Mane. Not sure I’m prepared to do that.

  21. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Any scout picks?

  22. Bobby Digital
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    4231

    Bruyne in the hole no?

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Nah

  23. BIG TONES
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Damn I'm a Jesus owner. Guess it's time to get rid?

  24. Plant Based FPLer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Chance of KDB less than 4 points? 25%?

    1. Pieterke30
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I just brought him back so he will defo blank

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      50/50

  25. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    KDB at #10 is irresistible.

  26. Tsparkes10
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Just finished work... Aguero starting and dele Alli flagged are big surprises. Hmmm

  27. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on Lucas Moura on WC?

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Wouldn't be on mine.

    2. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Not keen, better options

      1. TaiwanHC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Who would you go for instead?

  28. youzef
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Current Team got 2FT
    Ryan
    Rico Pereira TAA
    KDB Cantwell Grealish Alli
    Vardy Rashford Jimenez
    Bench Lundstram Kelly Dendoncker

    A) Vardy Alli Pereira - > Kane Salah and Webster (-4)
    B) Vardy and Alli - > C. Wilson and Salah
    C) Cantwell and Pereira - > Mahrez and Sidibe
    D) Cantwell and Rashford - > Martial and Firmino

  29. boroie
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Which option should I go for?

    A - Lundstram & Alli -> TAA & Grealish
    B - Zouma & Abraham -> VVD & Maupay
    C - Alli & Abraham -> Grealish & Firmino
    D - Other (involving two of Zouma, Lundstram, Alli & Abraham going)

  30. huwwilliams_

    Gazzaniga Button
    Soy TAA Kelly Aurier Lundstram
    Alli Mane KDB Grealish Maddison

    Any suggestions on improvements? Thinking about taking gazzaniga out but don't know who to replace him with
