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

    11 months, 17 days ago

    KDB was the right choice.

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      11 months, 17 days ago

      Really had to battle my demons to captain him. Early doors still though

    2. CoracAld2831

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 months, 17 days ago

      Frank

      1. GoonerSteve
        • 16 Years
        11 months, 17 days ago

        Was thinking Frank or Moyes.

    2. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      11 months, 17 days ago

      Don't laugh - I'm looking at Spurs

        1. Utopsis
          • 6 Years
          11 months, 17 days ago

          LOL - all 3 games might be table bonus! Europa League bounce?

          1. Gazwaz80
            • 6 Years
            11 months, 17 days ago

            Depending on the Wolves and Brighton matches this week, I may go Pereira next week…

            1. Utopsis
              • 6 Years
              11 months, 17 days ago

              I like this actually - Wolves losing today could do us a massive favour

              1. Gazwaz80
                • 6 Years
                11 months, 17 days ago

                Yep, with Brighton winning…

    Oh Haaland really didn't fall in price much did he! Still hard to get into the team. £14.8m with 2.5m owners today vs. 14.7m with 3.2m owners in GW23

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 17 days ago

      Alot of dead teams

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        11 months, 17 days ago

        Think he's talking about price v ownership. His price has gone up when people sold him

  22. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    11 months, 17 days ago

    KDB transfer didn't go through

  23. Scapegoat Salah

    Did Mbuemo to Saka but somehow Mbuemo ended up second on my bench because my team didn’t save and I ended up with Rogers

    Had just got back into the top 100k after a 13 week green arrow run

    Pray for me

    1. Alonso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      No more blanks happening this season. Spurs game being moved is the last chance but isn't due to happen so far
