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.

    Help on WC

    pope button
    Doh taa lascelles holgate robinson
    Bruno son salah mount kdb
    Rashford jota nkiteah

    Any rotations ?

    1. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Sarr looked good. Prefer him to Mount.

      Looks very good though. Prefer Martinez & another GK to Pope & Button

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Is Robinson nailed on?

      1. Coys96
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        ATM yes, but he's only 4mil so worth a punt

      2. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        No, O'Connell should be back - if not next game, by next GW.

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Button to Martinez now?
      Because Leno is injured.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        Assuming you've got Henderson and no spare change, guess so.

  2. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Come on Jota, treat this like a FIFA20 session my beautiful son

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Most dangerous player so far

      2 shots on target and laid the ball to jimenez in penalty area

      1. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        Yep but having pukki, suba and jota as strikers this week is not the most rewarding points wise. Sums up my season with strikers.

  3. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Hope Wolves bring on the human battering ram at HT.

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

    Cmon Jota, make me proud. Can't let Jimenez give joy to my friend..

  5. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Aurier or Maguire ? Thanks

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Maguire for me. I still think United look far more solid at the back.

    2. Dybala10
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Not AWB? I prefer him for baps.

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

      can you do both? aurier only 4.9, shouldnt be too much sacrifice to insert him in the team

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        Naaa, if you have TAA and Doherty too

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 5 days ago

          Yep that's my situation too

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

            TAA, Doherty, Newcastle and sheff Utd

  6. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Jimmy score and save my season please.

  7. Andy_Social
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    I've got 4 points from 3 players so far today. I'd take a 0-0 and 2 points from Doh/Saiss - I'm not greedy!

  8. La Vida Latte
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    For the rest of the season

    A) aurier
    B) söyuncu
    C) saiss (double up with doherty)

    1. Dybala10
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      A or B and spread the risk. Spurs have the fixtures...

      1. La Vida Latte
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        Leicester too...

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Price and fixtures - Saiss for me (disclosure: I have Doh&Saiss myself)

      1. La Vida Latte
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        If price didnt matter would you still go Saiss?

        1. Andy_Social
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 5 days ago

          I would, yeh.

    3. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      A

  9. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Got to say Auba was extremely unlucky not to scored tonight

    Had 4 to 5 shots saved by Ryan. He'll cone good against soton

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      I won't have him be then so hope not 🙂

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Poor finishing. Not worth his pricetag imo

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        Yh. Im keeping one more gw as ill use wc in gw32+

        Already used ft to do mahrez to bruno

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 5 days ago

          Think i'll downgrade him and upgrade Mahrez/McGinn

    3. Dybala10
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Shame he has no left foot

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Doesn’t help, he didn’t give us anything over 2 matches

    5. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Few chances but with that price tag it’s tough to keep him

  10. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Ngakia looks useful, just looked him up, 4.0m playing wing back. Unfortunately his contract is up on 30 June and he doesn't look like signing a new one!

  11. Coys96
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Latest FH draft. Going off double Pool attack as takes up budget. Will probably go with whoever is brighter tomorrow.

    Patricio
    Trent ~ VVD ~ Doherty
    Mane ~ Pogba ~ B.Fernandes ~ Son
    Vardy ~ Ings ~ DCL

    Thoughts? Am I missing anyone?

    1. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      KDB

      1. Coys96
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        Even against Chelsea?

        1. Tempestic
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 5 days ago

          Ofc against chelsea

          1. Tempestic
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 5 days ago

            he scored last time

            1. Coys96
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 5 days ago

              True. But Chelsea need it more than City and kante should play this time

        2. GREEN IS GOOD
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 5 days ago

          True, but you've also got 2 Man Utd players against a strong sheff utd defence.

          1. Coys96
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 5 days ago

            No Henderson makes big difference though. 3-3 in reverse fixture.

            Maybe Richarlison/Maddison over Pogba?

            1. GREEN IS GOOD
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 5 days ago

              stick with Pogs then, he looked class v Spurs. YOLO

  12. JohnnyCroat
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    On 88 currently... Jota and Doherty on my team. A cricket score for the GW would be sweet. Headed for Top 100K.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      K

  13. ALegendJ
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    I read at some point here that Jimenez's missus should deliver soon and he would miss a match. How true is that?

    1. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      true, but not worth worrying about just yet

  14. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    So boring

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      The games post Corona are really lacking entertainment

      1. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        needs more David Luiz

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Will improve after they have had a few games to get into the swing of things.

      Looking forward to Villa - Chelsea. Hopefully the extra game that Villa have had will reduce the gap between both teams and make it competitive.

  15. bodgejob
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Not impressed by Doherty yet, might just be the normal Wolves first half syndrome though. Still don’t think he’s worth the extra over Boly regardless

    1. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Jonny looks much more lively and involved

    2. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      He's the kind to pop up and score at the far post out of nowhere.

    3. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Doherty was far into the box during one of their attacks already. Jonny is always out wide never in the boz

  16. Manani
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    best forward for rest of season outside of Jimenez, DCL, Rashford?

    1. bodgejob
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Tammy, Vardy, Ings

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Impossible to tell with so many out of form.

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

      maybe Tammy but more on that tomorrow

      1. Manani
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        feels like Tammy is too close to get benched for Giroud a couple of times no?

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

          Yeah but that was pre-break. Now it's like beginning of the season all over again, so fully expect him to start tomorrow and couple of next games if he shows good

    4. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      rory mcilroy vars killed football,my last season

    5. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Kane

    6. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      I'm going vardy

  17. Costa Nostra
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Boy how I’ve missed this riveting football!

    #bringbackvirtualfpl

  18. Cak Juris
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Wildcard Option:
    A. Digne - Jota
    B. Saiss - Abraham

    Already have DCL, Jimenez and Doherty

    1. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      A

    2. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      B

  19. Greek Freak
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    So then the pattern so far is clear - first halves are 0-0 because everyone is rusty, then there are some goals in the second halves when everyone is tired from all the lockdown.

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      It's set up for Traore coming on and assisting the assister.

  20. JammySprat
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Was football always this dull?

    1. La Vida Latte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Nah

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      First game after three months off was always gonna be like this. It's like the opening round of the World Cup. Let them blow the cobwebs off and find some rhythm next week.

  21. La Vida Latte
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    A) Martinez & Aurier
    B) Pope & Lascelles

    Thanks!

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      B no brainier

      1. La Vida Latte
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        Even if Burnley and Newcastle havent got much to play for?

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Martinez Lascelles could be good enough couldn’t it?

    Hows Jota been?

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Rubbish.... everyone’s been rubbish.

      He got into a some good positions, but his decision making was very poor.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        oh :/ well was only a 1 week punt for me. Sounds like I made the right decision not to watch

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 5 days ago

          Ye, not worth switching on.

          Second half could be full of surprises though hopefully.

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 5 days ago

            I have Ramsdale later, I have a sneaky feeling he hauls. Or I hope anyway :p
            He was my most random pick

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

              same here but with Guaita 😀 hoping for a sneaky haul

              1. have you seen cyan
                • 6 Years
                6 years, 5 days ago

                lol either keeper in this game is good tbh, bournemouth/palace is surely a 0-0 😀

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

                  i have a same feeling. Borefest with 0-0, no save points either xD happily would take 6 pts

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Worth 1/2 price of Auba

  23. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    It’s been a real snooze fest so far........

    0:0 written all over it unfortunately.

    4:3 to West Ham with a Jiménez hat trick would obviously be welcomed though....

  24. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Eni Aluko has a first class degree in law from Brunel University. That is partly why she is an articulate pundit.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      I think the main reason is because she doesnt her name to be sufficient qualification or prep for the role

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        Consider her name

  25. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Mane or Salah? Why?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Salah. For penalties.

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Salah
      Because I have Mane

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        Been that bad?

    3. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Cos you cant decide..........next question

  26. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    All been downhill since Tuesday 🙁

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

    Is there any incentive to keep Liverpool players beyond title match? Do they have some records to chase or something?

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Pride

    2. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      TAA for me

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

      Golden boot?

    4. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Well on the plus side, end of this season will be so close to the start of next season, it’s basically pre-season
      No point resting players I guess

      1. Greek Freak
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        When does next season start anyway? Is there a date?

    5. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      They have loads of records to chase, apart from going invincible and scoring/conceding the most/fewest goals.

      Klopp could tinker with the big guns playing, in preparation for next season IMO. And if he wants to give the youngsters more experience, TAA is 21 and Gomez is 23.

      1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        I think watford have beaten LFC this season

        1. Forza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 5 days ago

          Yeah, I said "apart from"

      2. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        Also Gomez has Palace (26 goals this season) up next.

    6. La Vida Latte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      100 points season?

  28. Shark Team

    Vardy 100% goal no.100 coming Vs Brighton but patience is the key to FPL so I am gonna keep Auba and Rashford

      No, patience used to be the key to FPL, but the game evolved. Patience is a virtue no longer rewarded, as proved by the dinosaurs who play FPL and have shocking ranks

      Totally agree. What I have seen is that Norwich are still absolutely awful. So will go double Everton attack next week and hopefully who to replace richarlison with will resolve itself afterwards.

    Arsenal GK Martinez 4.2 now nailed? And worth considering?

      Yeah, if you're okay with conceding 5 goals this GW!

      Have got him in as my 2nd GK already on a WC. Instead of Button.

      People will say no because of Arsenal losing to Brighton, but any keeper at 4.2 is worth considering. Also by the law of averages I'll be surprised if there were absolutely no clean sheets for Arsenal, regardless of how they just played.
