The second of three Premier League matches to take place on Sunday sees Wolverhampton Wanderers entertain Newcastle United.

Kick-off at Molineux is at 16:30 BST.

With the exception of Adama Traore (£6.4m), there is good news all round for owners of Wolves’ most-popular Fantasy Premier League assets.

Max Kilman (£4.1m) is handed his third straight start at centre-back, with Romain Saiss (£5.2m) again deployed at left wing-back.

Kilman was the most-bought FPL defender of Gameweek 6, with almost 340,000 Fantasy managers recruiting the budget asset for this fixture.

Traore’s third benching in a row means that Raul Jimenez (£8.5m) is again joined in attack by Daniel Podence (£5.5m) and Pedro Neto (£5.5m), meanwhile.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s only change to the side that beat Leeds United is a like-for-like one, with Ruben Neves (£5.4m) replacing Joao Moutinho (£5.4m) in central midfield.

The team news for the visitors is a bit more complicated, with Steve Bruce making four alterations from his starting XI in Gameweek 6.

There isn’t a change between the posts, however, with Karl Darlow (£5.0m) passed fit to feature.

Emil Krafth (£4.4m) and Joelinton (£5.8m) are both benched, with Isaac Hayden (£4.9m) also among the substitutes as Steve Bruce opts not to risk his half-fit midfielder.

Jonjo Shelvey (£5.4m), who is set for groin surgery, misses out completely.

Fabian Schar (£4.9m), Ryan Fraser (£5.8m), Jacob Murphy (£4.9m) and Miguel Almiron (£5.8m) come into the Magpies’ rather offensive-looking starting XI.


Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Rui Patricio, Boly, Coady, Kilman, Semedo, Dendoncker, Neves, Saiss, Neto, Jimenez, Podence.

Newcastle United XI: Darlow, Schar, Lascelles, Fernandez, Lewis, Almiron, Hendrick, Fraser, Saint-Maximin, Wilson, Murphy.

    Podence gotta go, right?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Depends how big of a priority your 5th mid is.

      3 points per week isn't the wrist thing in the world for a 5.5m mid.

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He was their best player.

    1. FPL Daniel

    Saiss enters Nuno’s office and flips the chessboard upside down 🙂

    1. FPL DONKEY
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Magnus Carlsen enters the room

  14. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Saiss 7 pointer. Just as good as a goal mate.

  15. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Need a Coady goal now. Ffs

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      There's more chance of Patricio scoring tbh

  16. aborg
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    What did I say about Wolves not being able to keep a clean sheet would sum it up

  17. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Barnes striker

    1. ivantys
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Anyone would be better than that rubbish Iheanancho

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Guess who I sold!

    3. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Is he? Interesting, still not holding out much hope for any returns

  18. CaptMidnight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Jimmy, if you could score more than one goal for once that'd be great. Cheers

  19. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    People going mental over 1 point 😆 you can have it

    Now Jimi goal is annoying

    1. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      It's not just one point it's the fact that other wolves defenders have lost 4+

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Ill take that too..

      2. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        This. Jammy new Kilman owners

    2. Londongeezaa
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      It’s more Coady, Patricio and Kilman losing the CS points

      1. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        This

    3. ivantys
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Semedo is just 4 points but 6 for Coady or Kilman

  20. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Was considering Jimi to ings...this has made it a far tougher decision

    1. Gentle_Turks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Gotta keep Jimenez for next three.

  21. WVA
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Saiss should not be allowed bonus points let alone baps

  22. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Barnes playing as striker?

  23. Total Slotball
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Podence has scored a total of 9 top-flight league goals at 25 yet he's in many so called "experts" FPL Sides.

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Many better options at 5.5?

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      LOOOOOL

  24. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Barnes oop

  25. TorresMagic™

    3 - Jiménez (29)
    2 - Murphy (28)
    1 - Saïss (23)

    1. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Juhuuuu

    2. Reggie Nainggolan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Kilman was set for 2 arghhh

  26. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Yet another clean sheet gone right at the end of the game. Newcastle have looked zero threat all match. Eff off

  27. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    This has been a solid defensive display by Newcastle who I think might get something v Everton with a repeat performance. Blues injuries and suspensions don't help. DCL owners - keeping?

  28. SM001
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Just posting as i'm a Jimenez and Saiss owner. Carry on.

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Likewise. Making me feel a little better after yesterday (Salah cap, Trent owner, Mitchell owner)

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Likewise and Wilson also. Feeling very jammy

  29. Babelcopter
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Saiss so much better pick than Semedo

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Semedo is not very good either

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Until he gets dropped for Marcal...

      1. Gentle_Turks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Won't happen. Change today was tactical / throw of the dice looking for a goal. Reckon he starts again next game.

  30. Matsy123
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Best digne replacement for 6.9 or less? Already have TAA and Saiss

    1. Babelcopter
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Lamptey

    2. Make United Great Again
