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.

    Pukki TO ings

    1. puhd
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Ings a good pick. I wouldn’t get Martial.

  2. Dickie1898
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Start one.

    A) Kelly (sou) Ings owner
    B) Rico (bha)
    C) Lund (mnc)

    1. Geezer
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      B

    2. CheesyZoot
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Exact same conundrum, currently on Rico but thinking to swap to Lund

    3. Coys96

      6 years, 3 months ago

      B

    4. tucaoneo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      B. Rico is much more attacking.

  3. arkom
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Pope
    Kelly / Aurier / Lundstram / Soy / Rico
    Mane / KDB / Willian / Alli / Cantwell
    Vardy / Tammy / Jimenez

    A) Alli & Tammy --> Salah & Ings
    B) Willian & Aurier --> Martial & TAA
    C) Alli & Aurier --> Salah & 4,7£ def.

    1. Geezer
      • 15 Years

      1. arkom
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        The most expensive of those, someone has to sacrifice.. And Spurs def. doesn't convince me.

    3. arkom
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      How about A) with -4 points?!

      Alli, Tammy, Willian --> Salah, Ings, Martial

  4. Geezer

    2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years

      1. Tshelby

        6 years, 3 months ago

  12. Twisted Melon
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Rashford and Alli to Martial and Aguero?

    1. TaiwanHC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Why lose Rashford?

      1. Twisted Melon
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        makes it easier to get Aguero and Martial in might cover some of the goals

    2. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Lol

  13. Coys96

    2. Bobby Digital

  14. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    6 years, 3 months ago

    On WC. Pick one:

    A. Moura + Dendoncker

  15. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Regret doing Kelly to TAA now. Could've done Jota or Mousset to Kane or Aguero

    1. puhd
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Keep Kane

  16. Purse83
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    What’s the best forward priced £6.5m or less over the next few weeks (and would you prefer over Zaha)?

    Thinking DCL, Delo, Greenwood...

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Pukki

  17. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Keep running yourselves into the ground, Wolves 🙂

    1. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      My thoughts exactly

  18. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Vardy looks like a great (c) option vs this WH def, surely he should play as they need to bounce back after these 2 loses?

    1. yakirh
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Might get limited minutes

  19. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    10 points from captain a fail then??

    On 72 all out tho so not too shabby and iv cut gap to leader in ML to 21 pts...

    1. beric
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Bloody hell, im on less than 40

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        TAA to thank.

    2. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Lol no Tammy (c) here and you almost doubled my GW score congrats!

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Well in the circumstances I'm sanguine. This was a tricky call this week. Any return was welcome.

    4. WVA
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Very unlucky 10 points but 72 very good

    5. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      10 pts from cap is solid

  20. Heiro
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    A: Abraham to Rashford
    B Abraham/Zaha to Aguero/Traore -4

  21. Iggypop
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Sterling looks almost certain to be benched, it's a joke how close city's games are

  22. puhd
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    People are selling Alli??

    1. TaiwanHC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Injured

    2. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      He is flagged so causing some panic atm

    3. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      People selling an injured player???

    4. Babelcopter
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Yes. Probably benched

    5. WVA
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

    6. yakirh

  24. TaiwanHC

    • 9 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC team?

    Ramsdale - 4.0
    TAA - Sidibe - Evans - Lundstram - Kelly
    Salah - KDB - Maddison - Grealish - Traore
    Rashford - Vardy - Maupay

    Thanks guys!

    1. manu4life99
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Very nice

  25. gedda
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    My genius moves this week:

    Auba & Sterling out -> Kane & Salah in

    Nice.

    1. puhd
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      It will pay off next GW mate

      1. gedda
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, I think it was the right move. Still.. painful to watch.

  26. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    This is just City's night.

    No chance Wolves score again.

    1. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      So still a chance for a City own goal never lose hope!

    2. gedda
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      This didn't age well.

    3. teknicolourfox
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Oops

  27. manu4life99
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Is Gomez a good option on WC? Matip and Lovren out long term?

    1. tucaoneo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I think it's his position to lose now anyway.

  28. TheDragon
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    When will Jimenez score?

    1. puhd
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I just Sold for Greenwood

      1. Dirty Leeds
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago
