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.

    This was my first game this season that Im happy with FPL-wise. Saiss and Jimmy are my heroes.

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Saiss points are pure luck

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 21 days ago

        Jimenez also, Darlow should have saved that. Last week he was even luckier and I thought that wouldn't continue. So took a hit to ditch him.

  4. Rolls-Royce
    6 years, 21 days ago

    What are Podence owners doing? Give one more week?

    1. Jdpz
      6 years, 21 days ago

      yes

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      6 years, 21 days ago

      He was my starter in a 3 5 2. Will be first bench in a 3 4 3 next week.

    3. Frozen Mukluks
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Yes

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 21 days ago

      He's my 5th mid. 3 PPM is better than some of my team. I'll keep, and may shift to someone like Bowen later.

    5. Nedvěd11
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Playing 3-5-2 so he really starts annoying me.
      Think he is close to be benched IRL

    6. g40steve
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Keeping, has a monster haul in him

  5. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    6 years, 21 days ago

    A) TAA to Chilwell
    B) Saiss to Zouma
    C) Save

  6. Joey Tribbiani
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Even with 2 goals in 2, Jimenez has to go for Kane

    1. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Have done the same and never looked back

      1. Joey Tribbiani
        6 years, 21 days ago

        Just not sure if I should do it tonight before price rise

    2. Pukki Party
      6 years, 21 days ago

      4 goals in 6, has done nothing wrong really.

  7. Eleven Hag
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Bottomed

    Should I get Kane here?

    Martinez
    Robbo Justin James //Kilman Ferguson
    Salah Sterling Son Podence //Bissouma
    Jimenez Ings DCL

    1. Sandy Ravage
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Probably not, unless Kane goes berzerk v Burnley. Which fwd would you lose though?

  8. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 21 days ago

    I sold Barnes and Castagne for a hit. I know how this is going to end.

    1. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Amen for Barnes. He plays a striker, hopefully brace is on the cards

  9. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Team for next week. Does it look ok?

    Martinez
    TAA James Dallas
    Salah Sterling Son Foden
    DCL Ings Bamford

    Steere Podence Mitchell Lamptey

      This may be Tony’s last week.. 🙁

    3. Danno - Emre Canada
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Looks like I’m out if I’m still in that is

  12. have you seen cyan
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Son or Kane cap next week? Im leaning towards Son

    1. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 21 days ago

      I might follow you

    2. Tinkermania
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Depends on who is not injured by then.

    3. Niho992
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Kane

    4. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Flip a coin. Kane being on pens makes me feel safe

  13. osceola31909
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 21 days ago

    I am worried that Saiss was substituted instead of Kilman. Saiss could have moved back to Kilman's position when Marcal came in. Does this mean Kilman has supplanted Saiss?

    1. Danno - Emre Canada
      6 years, 21 days ago

      People reading too much into it. Saiss would have been mentally playing as a LB all game and Kilman was there already set and picking his man up.

    2. Brosstan
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Just didn't want to upset the back 3. Saiss is either getting the CB spot back or is starting at LWB again ahead of Marcal how was at fault for conceding

  14. Niho992
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Come on Harveeeeyyyyyy

  15. King Carlos
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Can anybody beat this?

    My defensive (keeper+3 defenders) scores in the last 3 gwks:

    GWK 4: -2 pts(!)
    GWK 5: 5 pts
    GWK 6: 0 pts (Ryan to play)

    In the last 3 gwks, my defenders have scored a total of 3 pts!!

    1. Tinkermania
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Link team please!

        1. Superflymonk
          6 years, 21 days ago

          Damn! Sorry bro, just the unpredictable nature of the game

          1. King Carlos
            6 years, 21 days ago

            Thanks man... ffs is fun game to play! 🙂

            But still, this has to be a record..

    2. Je suis le chat
      6 years, 21 days ago

      You've got 2 points in defence this gw when sub comes on. Doing okay in general.

      1. King Carlos
        6 years, 21 days ago

        Yeah, noticed that as soon as I hit post... but still! This ain't good for my health! Lol!

  16. LLoris
    6 years, 21 days ago

    What transfer should I do?
    A) Podence for Bamford
    B) Saliba for Kilman (Bench)

    1. Z
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Get Zouma

  17. Brosstan
    6 years, 21 days ago

    One of my ML opponents has Bamford 17 pointer on the bench and is going to get cockblocked by Vardy 1pointer

  18. thomashl
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 21 days ago

    17 points with three to go from my WC lads:

    Martinez
    Kilman Robbo Lamptey
    Son Salah(c) Grealish Rodriguez
    DCL Kane Watkins

    Chilwell smiling from the bench. Backed my team Utd to score, not much to do about that.

    We go again next week

  19. SomeoneKnows
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Martinez
    Robbo, Chilwell, Saiss
    Salah, Son, Rodriguez, Grealish
    Kane, DCL, Maupay

    Forster, Soucek, Dallas, Mitchell
    0.5m ITB, 2 free transfers

    Transfer ideas?

  20. kbogusz
    6 years, 21 days ago

    McCarthy (Ryan)
    Justin, Targett, Mitchell (Digne, Lewis)
    Salah, Rodriguez, Rashford, Podence (Harrison)
    Kane, Jimenez, Wilson

    1FT, 1.2 ITB

    I really think it's time for wildcard before the GW7. Too many underperforming players and too much money wasted on bench. Plus Digne suspension.

    Any suggetions?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Oh I'd definitely WC that team.

      Defense is a nightmare.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 21 days ago

        Maybe you can hold out until GW10 if you're desperate by doing like Digne > Chilwell.

        I think WC'ers in GW9/10 stand to gain the most.

        1. kbogusz
          6 years, 21 days ago

          That was the plan initially to wait until GW9 for a WC but looking how bad is my team atm i don't think i should wait anymore longer.

          On the other hand, some teams form is still quite uncertain. Feel like Villa are overperforming for how they are playing. Not sure about City players and Spurs schedule gets really difficult after GW8. Worried about how Everton is going to do without Richarlison and Digne too.

    2. Z
      6 years, 21 days ago

      My god....WC that

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Close, but I would consider -4 or even -8. Digne to Chilwell and Rashford to Son and it looks much better imo.

  21. have you seen cyan
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Thats twice recently now I got some luck with Wolves defenders, last season post Covid, Doherty was benched and came on, got an assist and then gave away a pen so all other wolves defenders concdeded. And now Saiss today 😀

    1. TomSaints
      6 years, 21 days ago

      To be fair I had Doherty then and it was hilarious.

      Swings and roundabouts

      1. have you seen cyan
        6 years, 21 days ago

        I have had about 3 goals ruled out tho in that same time period. Boly once, Saiss last week and im sure theres another

        1. have you seen cyan
          6 years, 21 days ago

          Boly was last season, post covid i think)

  22. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Sir Bamford makes an entry!

  23. Jesus hits De Gea bar
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Blimey I’ve just found a Xmas pudding in the cupboard from last year and it’s in date.

    1. Scrumper
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Hold

  24. Quan MisTaka
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Sterling and Watkins to Kane and Zaha/Greenwood?

    1. Z
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Why do you even concider Greenwood over Zaha?

      Answer is Yes

      1. Quan MisTaka
        6 years, 21 days ago

        Yeah fair enough. Wine has got to my head. Think ill do it tonight pre rises

  25. Z
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Lads, stop crying and forget about this GW....it is all part of a game 🙂

  26. TomSaints
    6 years, 21 days ago

    On 14 points, but
    Maupay, Lamptey, Kane and Son to go.

    No chance of a good week, but hoping to get near average?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Need a Maupay hatty.

  27. WVA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Yey DCL 1 pointer means I haven't captained my lowest scoring player for once!

  28. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    6 years, 21 days ago

    TAA to Chilwell with FT or save?

    1. Old Wulfrunian
      6 years, 21 days ago

      save

  29. Wicked Weapon
    6 years, 21 days ago

    If Kane and Son blank combined with DCL and Salah blank, I think we'll be looking at 35-45 Average right ?

  30. Old Wulfrunian
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Wolves 3 points,Jimenez 9 points and Coady 8 points.Murphy though is one of these irritating players that will ruin your evening with a free kick...until next year.

    1. Pukki Party
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Wolves 1 point

      1. Old Wulfrunian
        6 years, 21 days ago

        You are a jenius!
