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.

    Bottomed:

    Hypothetically, if I make 3 transfers for a -4 and then use my free hit chip, at the start of the next GW will my team be what it was in the gameweek prior to free hit usage or will my squad include the 3 players I brought in for a -4 still?

    Apologies if I've worded it badly

      I think it assumes that all transfers you make are part of the FH. None of them stick.

      Back to prior GW

    Who would you captain next week if you dont have Auba ?
    Thinking about Laca, Son, Salah or Pogba.

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      all good picks, would punt on Lacazette

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        rotation risk....

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

          No way Laca is being dropped in the form he is in right now, arguably their best player going forward ahead of Auba right now, I’d be happy to captain him a good differential too

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

            This, can't see Laca not starting and scoring

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

      Laca of the four.

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

      I'd probably go Pog, Utd will be well up for it and he's involved in almost everything. Regretted not putting the armband on him this week when I was deliberating between him and Salah.

    4. WVA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Pogba for me too

  4. Planet Head

  6. The Ejiptian King

    5 years, 2 months ago

    I got rid of Jimi for Rashford when I'd had him since about 5.7 because I wanted to stay with 5 in midfield, that was a mistake. I think Kane got injured the week after too.

  7. SPorting

    Oh, I’m getting in first with the

    Almir-on

  8. Alan Watts
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    With Freehit, can you carry FT from previous GW?

    ie 2 fts going into GW 31, FH GW 31, then have 2 FT game 32?

    1. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Playing a FH effectively "costs" one transfer

      1. Alan Watts
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        thats a bit shyte

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

    I wonder how much Doherty is gonna be next season, hopefully not reclassified as a forward.

    1. SPorting
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      6.0m mid

  17. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    minus massive baps

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

    Doherty take that boot to the face the goal would've been worth it

  19. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Doherty really should be scoring there. Wimp.

    1. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Longstaff in his face though

      1. Tcheco
        • 6 Years

  24. Differentiator
    • 8 Years

    Longstaff with a stiff challenge

    1. Alan Watts
      • 5 Years

      hard but fair

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

    That kind of GW.

    Kola from 12 -> 2 in one kick.
    Robbo YC costing him 3 points.
    Doherty missing from 3 yards.

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

      I think only one of those is truly unfortunate.

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

      I had Kola plus 4 other yellow carded players!

  28. SPorting

    Not sure what Jota did wrong there. Never a YC

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

      Joke. In an unfunny way

  29. Babit1967
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Ffs how did Ramsay get a 400 k a week deal, are Juventus mad ?

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

      No transfer fee

      1. Babit1967
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I suppose, still though don’t get me wrong is a good player but that’s mental

    2. Pishpott
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Mental, no transfer fee though.

    3. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years

  30. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Doherty girled out of that. A centre back would have buried that.

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

      Girled?
