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.

    Might mute the volume so I don't have to hear Doherty'a name butchered over and over

      Dokraty. Lol.

        But nothing perplexes me more than the whole Davies vs Davis pronunciation thing.

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          E in the spelling, E is the difference in pronunciation.

          Don't know where they find the C and/or K in Doherty.

        2. Je suis le chat

          One of my many pet hates is the English pronunciation of Perschow for Peugeot.

              Pajero would be more appropriate

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Why go to such an outdated uni? Tell them it's either facetime or you're not interested anymore.

        😆

  18. Scotty B

    Nearly every team has Doherty and Jimenez so nothing really for anyone to gain or lose tonight

    1. The Enlightener
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      That's where my sneaky Moutinho play comes out sparkly!

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

      Nearly 100% ownership too.

    3. LarryDuff
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Jota owners say otherwise

    4. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I don’t have either

    5. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I only have Doh

      I think quite a few people have the Rash / Bobby / Kun forward line

    6. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Lots have Bennett and some have Jota so that's incorrect.

    7. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Some Doherty and Jimenez points would give me a green arrow

    8. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Patricio?

    9. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Have none,0-1 would be nice

    10. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I have neither. Doh!

    11. Codetto
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I have Jota and Bennett. + others with patricio

    12. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      47% of the top 10k own both.

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

      Under 50% of the top 10k own both Doherty and Jimmy so there’s definitely some gains to be made.

  19. Sandy Ravage

    Bednarek (ars) to:
    A - Yedlin / Lascelles (HUD)
    B - Jonny / Boly (bou)
    C - Bamba / Manga (WAT)
    D - Cathcart (car)

  20. Alan Watts

    Jota to outscore Jimenez , hopefully, and some Doherty assists...would be nice

    3. Bubz

      Asking Satan for fpl favors... never thought of this. Will try

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

        It's been a real struggle, god tends to abandon me whilst I have prob only had one fail so far with Satan.

        I try not to let him in too often...

  22. Tshelby
    • 9 Years

    Alonso to?
    Have TAA, Doherty, Roberston, AWB

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

      pereira/maguire maybe

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

      Depends on rest of the team.

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

        Fab, Button
        Alonso, TAA, Doherty, Robertson, AWB
        Anderson, Pogba, Son, Salah, Billing
        Laca, Jimenez, Rash

    3. The Enlightener
      • 10 Years

      It's about that time of the season for PVA to start scoring, but I haven't the best knowledge of their upcoming fixtures.

      1. AuFeld
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Fixtures are decent: lei, MUN, bur, BHA, tot, HUD

        More impressively, PVA has created 10 chances and four big chances over the last four.

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

          Would you double up on Palace?

          1. AuFeld
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            I tripled up with Guaita, PVA, and AWB (permanent TAA autosub). Also have double LEI defense, Schmeichel and Pereira.

    4. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Pereira, Maguire. Fancy Duffy myself for DGW32.

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

        Can Leicester keep cleansheets?

        1. JustPark
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          They sure did a few.

        2. AuFeld
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Seven so far. They are tied for the 6th most amount of clean sheets. 96 SOT conceded for the season is the fourth fewest. Pretty solid underlying numbers. I would guess there are more clean sheets to come with their fixtures.

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

            Cheers for the info, great stats

          2. Tshelby
            • 9 Years

            Yeah thanks for the stats!

    2. Kiwivillan

      If for a performing player yes. If for someone like Ings less so

      1. Lucky Z
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        For Kamara. Rich downgrade though, however it is difficult to downgrade him

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          How is difficult to downgrade Rich? There's sub 5m players scoring near or better than Rich lately. I think Westwood has 1pt less last 10 games

          1. Lucky Z
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            I meant he is so awful than any transfer Rich out will be upgrade rather than downgrade

            1. Kiwivillan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years

    1. La Roja

      Behave

      1. Paul
        • 13 Years

        Rest assured...me stating it would almost certainly ensure it won't happen to my utter disappointment!

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      They all have to score for 500/1?

      1. Burger

        Yup, easy money.
