Jota returns for Wolves as Newcastle visit Molineux

Wolves attacker Diogo Jota (£6.0m) is back in the side named to face Newcastle in the conclusion to Gameweek 26.

The Portuguese was taken off with a knock in the recent 3-1 win at Everton and missed out on FA Cup action as a precaution.

Jota comes back into the team selected by Nuno Espirito Santo tonight, operating at centre-forward next to the in-form Raúl Jiménez (£6.8m).

The Mexican has averaged 8.7 points per game in his last three outings and is the most captained player for Monday night’s game.

61,000+ Fantasy managers have handed Jiménez the armband.

Elsewhere, it’s as expected for Wolves with the usual back-three of Willy Boly (£4.6m), Conor Coady (£4.5m) and Ryan Bennett (£4.1m) flanked by Jonny (£4.3m) and Matt Doherty (£5.4m).

Joao Moutinho (£5.3m) sits in central midfield with five assists in his last three matches and his involvement in set pieces could prove fruitful tonight.

No team has conceded more chances from dead ball situations in the last four Gameweeks than Newcastle.

The Magpies look to be lining up in 4-4-2 formation tonight, which would make a change from the 5-4-1 used by Rafa Benitez recently.

Salomón Rondón (£5.7m) and Ayoze Pérez (£6.1m) lead the line hoping to improve on a recent tally of two goals in four away matches for Newcastle.

Their options will prove differentials tonight with no Magpies player owned by more than 4%.

New signing Miguel Almirón (£6.0m) starts on the bench.

Wolves XI (3-5-2): Patrício; Boly, Cody, Bennett; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Doherty; Jota, Jiménez.

Newcastle United XI (4-4-2): Dubravka; Lejeune, Lascelles, Schär, Yedlin; Atsu, Longstaff, Hayden, Ritchie; Pérez, Rondón.

    Really want Dendoncker to do well, can bring Kun in easily by his help

      Said no one ever 😛

    Richarlison might drop in price tonight, who can i replace him with today having 9.2 for a purchase and already having Pogba and Son in the team?
    Have 4 GW27 blanks currently

    Barnes? Iwobi? FAnderson?

    1. afsr
      • 7 Years

      Don't want to get Mane or anyone else for a hit tonight, because of the break and possible injuries

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Mane is relatively safe as he has nothing before next game week. Getting him in now isn’t really any more dangerous than bringing in Auba was last week!!!!

          Liverpool play Champions League next Tuesday

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      With those funds available why do you have to do the transfer now ?

    3. Yank Revolution

      There's a Hot Topic on this

    4. Woy of the Wovers

      Wait. Too many games between now and next GW

        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Team Value doesn't matter as much now... No point making transfers until we know the blank / DGW situation end of next week

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          There is that too but with my team, I've got 3 players currently available for GW31 so I might as well assume that GW31 is where my FH chip is going to be used.

          But even with that, I'd agree that waiting is the best call.

  4. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone scouting NEW? Rondon and Lascelles could be good differentials with their nice fixtures until end of the season?

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I need a replacement for Ings. Jimenez more likely my choice.

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I cant get Jim 🙁 have Kamara and too far out of my budget with Pogba, Salah, Son Mane in the midfield

  5. pjomara
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Go Jota!, 3.6% differential.
    A repeat of Leicester game will do.

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Sounds fair. I think I'd settle for 19pts too.

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I'd even settle for 20pts for Jota/Doherty

  6. g40steve
    • 6 Years

    All three Wolves start, let’s get some points lads.

    Jota, Jiménez, Doherty

  10. Scotty B

    Will West Ham have any blanks?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      If Chelsea make the FAC SF, yes.

    2. George Sillett

      My god you've been sorely missed.

    Currently ranked 8K but got no involvement tonight and Luiz -1 coming off my bench, need a 1-0 Newcastle win badly here.

    1. Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Could happen. Wolves seem to struggle vs 'weaker' opponents

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      With lots of subs coming in for people and many with wolves double and triples it’s going to be a long night!

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      You need some wolves in your pack.

    4. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years

      Huge red arrow incoming

  12. pmos
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Got Aguero at 11.2 (now 11.5). Sell for Auba or not?

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Wait a week for another price rise.

    2. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Wait. Auba should drop again at least once before next GW, and Kun may rise again.

    3. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      He will probably drop to 11.4 and you can sell for 11.3 so it's no big loss IMO.

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Madness to sell. One less worry if you keep him in your team. No guarantee Aubameyang hauls anyway.

  13. Patch
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Come on Newcastle rip email a new one!!!

    Bugger off, teenagers do not need to start school at 10am...completely rediculous idea.

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Send them back down the pit and make them start at 4 am.

    2. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I lecture at university and am more than happy for them to bring this in, as long as they apply it to older teens too.

    2. Kiwivillan

      Yuck. Ederson great for 28-30

    3. AuFeld

      Brutal.

    4. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years

      Ings might be back

  15. Eastman
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone considering Kun > Auba then Auba > Kun same day regardless of score?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Is the final on the same day?

      1. Eastman
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Meant at just before deadline GW 27 to avoid any price changes. .1 m to play Auba during Man City’s blank

        1. Do I Not Like Orange
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Tbh Auba may rise & Kun may fall (due to blank) that night so not sure you'd want to avoid those changes?

          1. Eastman
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Sorry may not be explaining myself. If I did Kun > Auba day at 18.30 for gw 27 . Then immediately changed back for the next week beating any price changes. Realise I’m risking injuries but feel losing .1m to get Auba worth it?

  16. fr3d

    Matt please just pretend this is Shrewsbury

  17. Richd

    Lively start

  19. The Enlightener

    There's Rondon's shot on goal for the day.

    'Today's special is a Triple Chelsea DGW.'
    Erm..No thanks. I will take a Man City DGW and a Man Utd DGW please. Oh and can I have one Salah with that.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Counterpoint: A TGW would be amazing.

  21. El Matador
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Lads, I want to remove Rich and Kamara. So have 2 spots to bring in either Leicester, West Ham or Newcastle assets. Have a total of 11.8m to spend.

    Any thoughts?

    1. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Slim pickings with that budget. If you want both to play you're probably looking at Rondon & one other.

      1. El Matador
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Harvey Barnes and Rondon? But I play a 352 so would have to bench one for their nice upcoming fixtures.

    D. Rich Kamara => 4.5 MF playing in BGWs + Arnie -4

  23. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years

    Best defender for 4.4m? Cook? Bednarek?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Jonny

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years

        Got Doherty

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Doherty 21 GWs ago

  24. balint84
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    next week

    A) Pogba+Firmino (Pool-MU)
    B) F.Anderson+Kane (if fit against Dortmund) (Fulham-Burnley)

  25. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Yedlin taking a risk there.

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Being in a Newcastle defence is always a risk.

    Pretend it's Shrewsbury, Matt!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      He's listening just like Sane was.

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Of course! That's why I'm telling him 😉

  27. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Doherty and Jiminez EO?

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      60 and 70 something separately, fair bit lower combined

  28. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Newcastle scouting tonight.

  29. Fred54

    Shrewsbury, Matt it's pretend.

  30. Minion
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I have money in the bank and could do Rashford to Aubameyang, thus keeping and benching Aguero... thoughts?

    Logic being that when you take a look at United’s fixtures, Rashford will surely be rested at times (he’s played in almost every game this season) and one of those he’s likely to miss is Saints at home (PSG 2nd leg a few days later).

    What do we think?

    1. Tcheco
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Rashford is more essential than Auba at the moment

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      He had a niggle
