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.

    Who is (or isn't) doing the VAR?

    PENALTY!!! Or a player can just turn his back and throw his arms around how he likes.

    1. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Chelsea?

    2. Rainer
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Waste of time if it’s not for United.

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA

      Would love to see how he could have jumped and tacked any different. Would be a disgrace of a pen

      1. Plant Based FPLer
        6 years, 21 days ago

        It's his fault he turned his back. That doesn't give him the right to time the extending of his arms to the time of the shot.

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          6 years, 21 days ago

          Guessing you own Jimenez

          1. Plant Based FPLer
            6 years, 21 days ago

            Yes, sigh. And Podence so it a penalty would've been perfect there. I think when I'm not FPL-involved in a foul situation I'm still balanced. I'll pay more attention next time.

            (Professional athletes know what they're doing, especially ones at the highest levels. He timed the extension of his arms, there, with the time of the shot. And then plays dumb to the ref like, "I don't know WHAT I'm doing, you can't call a foul on me, have mercy." Or they're truly tired and not aware that they're trying to block a shot with an arm but they are nonetheless.

            Like Kamara's red card yesterday, and Digne's today. They play innocence all the way down the tunnel line. Then once out of sight probably just start thinking about how to spend the rest of the day.

      Mark doesn't own Jimmy

  2. Dickie1898

    Anyone know if one of fplstats or fix has been more accurate this year?

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

      I never use Fix.

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Stats is still better. But fix is good for progress per hour

      1. Dickie1898
        6 years, 21 days ago

        Yeah fix is making me worry Chilwell could rise tonight along with Kane. Can’t have them both rise, will price me out of moves.

  3. Hotdogs for Tea
    6 years, 21 days ago

    How is Kilman looking ? playing well ?

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

      Hes doing good at standing around not needing to do anything.

  4. ivantys
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Nuno ask traore to go back to the bench nice

  5. RAFA THE GAFFA
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Can see why Wolves fans think Saiss could / should be dropped. Especially in this position

  6. Ajax Hamsterdam
    6 years, 21 days ago

    digne owners, who are you replacing him with ? thanks

    1. Nightcrawler
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Chilwell

    2. AzzaroMax99
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Konsa or Coufal

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        6 years, 21 days ago

        oh interesting thanks

    3. Ze_Austin
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Coufal

  7. Nightcrawler
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Semedo is trash

    Specialist wing back that cant out a cross in

  8. Pukki Party
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Having Jimenez and one defender from opposite team could be a good strategy as he's the only player capable of scoring?

  9. AzzaroMax99
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Willian should play tonight?

    1. Pukki Party
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Should be named in starting 11 but that doesn't mean he'll be playing football.

  10. Doctor Evil
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Would you do

    A sterling to KDB
    B Sterling & Wilson to Zaha & Kane

    Current team

    Martinez
    Saiss Kilman Robbo Chillwell Mitchell
    Salah Sterling Son Bruno Biss
    Wilson DCL Brewster

  11. RAFA THE GAFFA
    6 years, 21 days ago

  12. BeaversWithAttitude

  13. Utopsis

  17. The Mandalorian
    6 years, 21 days ago

    If you don't have the armband on Kane you may aswell leave and come back next Friday. He's at 138% ownership in the top 10k, game over if he hauls.

    1. JJO
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Its 138 not 338

    2. Pukki Party
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Not my concern who top10K captained as i'm over 1m

    3. Gobigorgohome
      6 years, 21 days ago

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        6 years, 21 days ago

        Haha this, I mean.......it’s not like anyone here is in top 10k lol

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      6 years, 21 days ago

      How is it game over? It’s one GW

    5. DA Minnion (Former great)
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Thank God I'm not in the top 10 K

  18. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Podence. Goodbye from my team.

  19. Flair
    6 years, 21 days ago

          6 years, 21 days ago

  20. Chucky

  21. Piggs Boson
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Hmm, might be time to ditch Saiss...

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 21 days ago

  22. _Ninja_

    1. g40steve
      6 years, 21 days ago

      9 points locked

  23. Gobigorgohome
    6 years, 21 days ago

    This is the end of Saissss

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      6 years, 21 days ago

      That’s the sad thing.

    2. Ode
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Or Kilman?

      1. Gobigorgohome
        6 years, 21 days ago

        then he would have been subbed

  24. RAFA THE GAFFA
    6 years, 21 days ago

    LETS GO TOON

  25. JJO
    6 years, 21 days ago

    How do you guys know who is coming out few mins before?

  26. Rainer
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Podence so consistent.

    1. BeWater
      6 years, 21 days ago

      I should have captained him. Got more points than Salah.

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

      Tbh 3 every week is better than certain players getting 1 or 2 every week.

      As he's my 5th mid, less urgent to replace.

  27. BeWater
    6 years, 21 days ago

    What the hell does Neto have to do to get subbed off.

  28. Londongeezaa
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Why would you oil your arms?

    1. teneighty
      6 years, 21 days ago

      It's actually so that defender wont be able to grip them as easy. He has a history of shoulder problems.

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

    Points in the bag. More than I've got from most of my team 😆

  30. Nightcrawler
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Cant see saiss starting the next one
