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.

    I had Pat/Foster and rage transferred out Foster after he conceded 2 to Cardiff late on at home despite Pat barely getting a CS all season, another one to add to the pile of shame.

    C’mon Jota

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

    I think Wolves will still win this 2-1

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

    Surely no one relevant owns double Wolves defence?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      There will be a few Bennett's off the bench.

      Do you pull this line every gw?

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

      I reckon a few have Doh as 2nd/3rd def, plus Bennett as 5th

  10. tucaoneo
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Hayden naysayers keep it up

  11. Rash
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    At least wolves never tease us as they usually concede before 60 mins.

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

      considerate of em

  12. Richd
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Is Schaer nailed ?

    Went for Lascelles over him. But god he’s got god attacking threat

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

      So does Lascelles though

    2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, I’m considering him but worried he randomly get dropped. Double the number of chances than Lascelles.

      1. Richd
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I suppose with BGW fill ins we don’t want people who could get dropped!

        1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Exactly. So I’m still leaning towards Lascelles

          1. Richd
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            You getting this week ? Before hud?

            1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              Depending one FA cup games, but yeah. Next two then move on when possible.

    3. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      He seems to be but not sure what happens if they don't play three centrebacks, you'd think Lascelles is the nailed one. Someone in my ML had Schar for his two goal haul.

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Rafa's named the same 11 4-weeks in a row.

      Doubt he's gonna change it up much while they're getting results.

  13. Rainer

      You're as bad as those online forex traders that only show their winning trades

      1. AuFeld
        • 7 Years

  24. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Need 3 Newcastle defenders for the Newcastle vs Huddersfield game, no way Huddersfield are scoring vs this defence

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      It’s why I got one in this week.

      Double up I dunno about that

  25. Runaway
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    This is at least 3rd CS gone because of Patrício. Wolves needs a keeper next year.

  26. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    I’d love to be able to play 11 outfield players and no keeper, they are all fantasy crap

  27. Jigger & Pony
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Is Hayden nailed?

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Not when Diame & Ki are fit

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

        You left out Shelvey who he's in for

        1. Sandy Ravage
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Longstaff is nailed on current form

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago
