Gameweek 35 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gets underway at the Etihad Stadium, where there is some interesting team news for both Manchester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Erling Haaland (£14.8m) makes a much-anticipated return to the hosts’ matchday squad, while captaincy candidates Omar Marmoush (£7.6m) and Kevin De Bruyne (£9.4m) both start.

The latter was an unused substitute in last Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final, a victory that Savinho (£6.2m) played most of. However, for the fourth time in five league matches, the Brazilian is named on Man City’s bench. A place where Phil Foden (£9.1m) remains.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Ederson (£5.3m) is back from a hip injury that’s kept him sidelined since Gameweek 32.

Opponents Wolves have won six consecutive league outings but are forced into one change. A slight groin strain rules out centre-forward Jorgen Strand Larsen (£5.4m), replaced by Jean-Ricner Bellegarde (£4.9m).

That means Gameweek 34’s double-digit heroes Matheus Cunha (£7.0m), Rayan Ait-Nouri (£5.0m) and Jose Sa (£4.4m) all start, as expected.


GAMEWEEK 35 LINE-UPS

Manchester City XI: Ederson; Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly; Kovacic, Gundogan; Bernardo, De Bruyne, Doku; Marmoush

Subs: Ortega, Akanji, Lewis, Grealish, Nico, Savinho, Foden, McAtee, Haaland

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Sa; Doherty, Agbadou, Toti; Semedo, Joao Gomes, Andre, Ait-Nouri; Munetsi, Bellegarde; Cunha

Subs: Bentley, Bueno, Doyle, Djiga, Sarabia, Hwang, Gomes, Guedes, Lima

    Thought Marmoush was better than this.

    Another poor captain choice

  16. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    11 months, 17 days ago

    Wolves just had four chances in 5 seconds lol

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 months, 17 days ago

      But they have double Man City defence, so they did the right thing 😉

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        11 months, 17 days ago

        Yep, although I benched Dias for some reason. Have Gvardiol...

        1. tiger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 months, 17 days ago

          To be honest they will probably concede...just when the CS is almost there.

          1. Jafooli
            • 14 Years
            11 months, 17 days ago

            Probably when I go to check FPL and score, that's normally when it happens...

    Every game from GW29 WC Munetsi has 10,000 xG and almost zero outcome. What a disappointing differential stake.

    Would appreciate if you could do something Kev

    I'm going to regret having RAN third on my bench, aren't I?

    Man City the team with a bigger defence budget than North Korea
    Yet they still look like conceding

  21. g40steve
    • 8 Years

    O’Reilly close
