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.

    Wilson has to go. Newcastle are hopeless.

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

      They're playing 4 wingers due to injuries, lack of fluidity is an understatement

  2. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    " Since their return to the Premier League in 2018-19, Wolves have failed to score in the first half of 58 games - more than any other side in the division."

    Why didn't Balbuena play the first couple of West Ham games and why is he playing now?

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      And yes, I am looking at Balbuena as a pick, please don't judge me.

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

        Diop was playing.
        Then he got Corona.

        I'd rather look for Coufal or Creswell mate

        1. sully29
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Thanks!

    Podence stinking up my team
    Going after this game

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      But he does skill moves

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

        like in Fifa? When you mean to shoot but do a special move instead and the keeper jsut collects it from you

      2. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        chasing his own shadow

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I'm not sure how a 5.5 midfielder can stink up your team. In all honesty he's performed exactly how I'd expect a 5.5 mid to perform. 3 points ain't even that bad.

  5. Don Kloppeone
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Really need NEW to somehow nick a goal here and take away those CS pts!

    My healthy green arrow is currently grey

    Sorrynotsorry!

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

      ASM hopefully 😉

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I’ll allow it 🙂

  6. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Digne to Chillwell bit of a no brainer I suppose?

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

      Yep

    2. Right In The Stanchion
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      You trust Chelsea for clean sheets? I’m thinking of going cheap

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        With Mendy in goal yes I do. Last year Chelsea defensive stats were third in the league. Kepa was the clear issue

    3. Amey
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Do you think he'll keep up scoring rate without set plays ?
      Ziyech would take them off him surely

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        He is so attacking

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

          Yeah
          He is

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

      Not really.

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

    I guess I have to take Saiss 6 Podence 3 Jimenez 2. Dull...

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

      Saiss will fail somehow

  8. ClassiX
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Assuming no mid-week injuries: Foden+Jimi to Mane+Bamford? (already have Salah)

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Brave. Who is in your midfield?

      1. ClassiX
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Currently Bissouma, Podence, Foden, Salah, Son (Forwards are DCL, Kane, Jimi)

  9. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    At this rate Kilman looks like a season keeper for me

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

      Let's discuss this after 2 gw's 😉

      He's got a lot of competition. Can't see him nailing that spot

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        He looks nailed. Magnus has him too. He knows

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

          Your history is better, he should follow your moves.

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 16 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Thanks. This made me happy juhuuuu

  10. I'M 2 OLD FOR THIS HIT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Those wolves are puppies!

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

    Saiss goal would be lovely

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Taken on at 58th more likely

  12. Flair
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    72% of the Wolves' goals came in the 2nd half last season

  13. Baked baines
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Wow....
    Just how bad is Jimenez looking not just this game but this season!
    Was fortunate to have 8 points last game!
    This game 3 shots and no where near the target...all 10 yards wide!
    They do have nice fixtures coming up but may need to consider moving him on!

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, but for who ?

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

        Most will ship him for Kane.

        Ings is a good option too.

      2. Baked baines
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I have Kane and DCL
        But Ings, Maupay, Watkins, Bamford look much better value!

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      It doesn't matter, he will end up on 180 pts somehow anyway

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

      Yeh it's either go to ings or eat my words and get bamford

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

    Neto you waste-man.

  15. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    imagine an ASM goal

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Prefer to imagine a Wilson one.

  16. Lucky Z
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Martinez
    Reguilon | PVA | Chilwell
    Son | Salah | JRod | Grealish | Pulisic
    Kane | DCL

    Forster | Lamptey | Mitchell | Brewster

    2FT, 0.5ITB

    Guys, really messed up. Any advise?

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

      Why is that really messed up?

      I personally wouldn't have Pulisic but there's much else wrong with that team. Triple up on Spurs may be a bit much but individually those players are good options.

      Quite template unless I'm mistaken.

      1. Lucky Z
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        have 2FTs and nothing to decide

  17. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Who to prioritize in midfield Grealish or Hames? Barnes will go unless he explodes tonight

  18. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    ASM having a nightmare

  19. Flair
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Can't think of a single reason why anyone will be going without Kane (C) next GW, unless you don't have him

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Son?

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      salah for me. kane c gw8

    3. Napoleon IV
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      how about - a person dies before they have a chance to set their captain on FPL?

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

        Wow

      2. Lucky Z
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        then he is none, not anyone

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

    Steve Bruce has sapped all the attacking flair out of Newcastle. They used to be an exciting team once.

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

      They weren't that exciting under Rafa either. What are you on about?

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

        Maybe I’m going back too far to the Keegan days 🙂

    2. Right In The Stanchion
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      15 years ago

    3. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      "once" meaning 1996?

      1. gribude
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Aspriiiilaaaaaaa

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

      Just seeing that 5 man back line with a 3 just in front is terrible to watch.

  21. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    thoughts on Patrick van Aanholt as a replacement for digne? bit too early? thanks

    1. Muller Reus Corner
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      It’s too early

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        cheers

  22. Flair
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Semedo nowhere near the BPS, how disappointing

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He’s been rubbish. Bad pick by us

  23. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Aguero and Pulisic ➡️ Ings and KDB? -4

    1. Muller Reus Corner
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No, Aguero has a good fixture next gw

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Yes but he’s injured

        1. Muller Reus Corner
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Sorry, hadnt realised

        2. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Oh yeah...

          Wait for pressers. I wouldn't lose Pulisic either way.

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Save

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

    That pen would have been given if it was during the early weeks.

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      You might ask Dier

    2. Plant Based FPLer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      They know what they're doing throwing their arms out or up. They're just good at making it seem like they don't.

      That was a pen for me.

  25. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Podence is going to haul at some point. Really involved and going close

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

      keep him for next GW?

      1. TomSaints
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I don’t have him but feel nervous watching!

  26. Muller Reus Corner
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Who do I get to replace Justin - Zouma or Dallas?

  27. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Semedo missed that trap

  28. GOTHAM City F.C.
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Congratulations to Saiss and Kilman owners.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Jinx.?

      1. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Of course.

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

      Almost finished the champagne that I popped back when I saw the Newcastle lineup...

  29. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Semedo seems very sluggish, little movement and regularly out of position.

    Such a shame Doherty left.
