Nuno Espirito Santo has gone with the same 3-5-2 formation used in their last Premier League match as they prepare to face West Ham.

That means starts in the front-line for Raúl Jiménez (£8.1m) and Diogo Jota (£6.4m) at the London Stadium.

However, the reduced number of wide options in the 3-5-2 system has resigned Adama Traoré (£5.7m) to the substitutes’ bench.

Matt Doherty (£6.3m) provides the width on the right, while Jonny (£5.4m) flanks the midfield on the other side.

Meanwhile, West Ham are without Angelo Ogbonna (£4.5m) and first-choice centre-forward Sebastien Haller (£6.8m).

That could be good news for those invested in the Wolves defence, Doherty and Romain Saïss (£4.6m) the most popular in that department, owned by 9.2% and 4.0% respectively.

That said, Michail Antonio (£6.9m), who has been asked to spearhead the attack, is likely to be a physical handful.

He is supported by an attacking midfield of Felipe Anderson (£6.6m), Pablo Fornals (£6.0m) and Jarrod Bowen (£6.5m).

Tomas Soucek (£4.9m) is back in the frame the Hammers, paired in central midfield with Mark Noble (£5.0m).

Elsewhere, Ogbonna’s injury means Declan Rice (£4.7m) drops into central defence.

West Ham United XI (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Cresswell, Rice, Diop, Ngakia; Soucek, Noble; Anderson, Fornals, Bowen; Antonio.

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI (3-5-2): Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Boly; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Doherty; D Jota, Jiménez.

    Do any of you buy it when Traore says he doesn't go to the gym?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Yes. If I were the government, I would be collecting his sperm by the bucketload.

    1. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 6 Years

    FH vs BB, how’s it working out???

    Me, FH, 3 SGW players on 91, so far.

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Used FH. 86 with 7 to go. No idea when to use BB.

    2. FPL Theorist
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      BB, 104 pts with 7 to go.

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Way ahead of you, sorry to burst your bubble

    4. Rover
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      BB here. 99 with 10 to go. But no Aguero and Sterling captain so a little worried.

    5. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      BB 103 points, 9 to go

    6. Reg83
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

    7. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      I'm on 87, but I'd be on 109 if I'd have remembered to activate the BB chip. Doh.

  9. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    And one game changed my WC just like that...what do you say on this team?

    Ramsdale
    Trent/Doherty/Aurier
    Salah/KDB/Fernandes/Son
    DCL/Jimenez/Ings

    Martin/Taylor/Lascelles/Saka

    0.0 itb

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Pretty good. Similar to team I’ve been rocking most of the season with 3 mid price forwards. Not sure on ramsdale

    2. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Like everything apart from Ram and Aurier.

  10. Bruce Lee
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    1. Nightcrawler

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 7 Years

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        People would just laugh

        1. St Pauli Walnuts
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 days ago

  11. Rover

    Champions League qualification is going to go down to the final day isn't it?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    My GW38 team is currently crushing my FH GW30+ team lol

    McCarthy ings Bruno adama Jimmy.. only kept Doherty.

    DGW fever they said

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      What is the point toal for each?

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        Didn't calculate 😛 Hindsight maybe, but I'm sure I'd captain kdb (instead of kun) if I didn't FH.

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Show points for 2 teams.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        It's 2.30 in the morning here..so it's basically what i imagined without actually calculating it.

        1. SweepaKeepa
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 4 days ago

          I’ll be in the same time zone from next week. Looking forward to being proper dead zone.

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 4 days ago

            Sweet.. DZ is the zone

  13. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    COYP!

  14. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Thanks Doherty and Jimmy. 109points. 10 players to go.

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      111, 10 to go

      we must have similar teams

    2. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      I’d be on 107 with 10 to play if I’d just captained KDB like everyone else. Just the 97 for now. Hopefully Aguero makes up for it on Monday.

    3. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      That's exactly what I'd be on if I didn't forget to activate the BB. As it is I'm on 87.

  15. Mweene
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Thinking of wildcarding this:

    Button, Barnes, Martial, Auba, Jota, Greenwood > 5m keeper, Fernandes, Mount, Jiminez, DCL, Ayew

    Bench boost the following week with a strong 15.

    Thoughts?

  16. Reg83
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    a. jimmy saiss
    b. jota doherty

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      A but i'd find a way to get Jimmy/Doh.

  17. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    How much you think Jimenez will be next season?

    1. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      8.5? 9.0? I dunno, I got him at 7.2 this year that will never happen again.

  18. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      I had the same front 3 pre UT. Kept Jim though.

      Funnily enough thinking about going with the same front 3 again on WC.

  20. Indpush
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    Got BB left. Played FH this week and next game week my team will revert to:

    Pope, Henderson

    TAA, Taylor, Doherty, O;Connell, Alonso

    Bruno, William, Salah, Grealish, Hayden

    Auba, Rashford, Jota

    Other than O'Connell being injured, Taylor an enabler, Hayden sucking and enabler and Grealish having tougher fixtures, like it? haha

    One free transfer - Save til I get two or O'Connell out for Lascelles?
