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.

      How about Schar gets subbed and then Wolves can go nuts. That would be fine.

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

        Nah I have Lascelles.

        Maybe he can trot off. Not injured though, desperately need him next week.

      Schar and Hayden. Never heard of them before this week

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

        Schar scored a brace two weeks ago.

        So I’ve known him like two weeks

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

        Not when Schar scored 21 pts in a GW?

        1. MTPockets
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Must have missed that

        2. Make Arrows Green Again

              5 years, 2 months ago

              Not sure. My best season was when I didn't watch a single game

            Yes and preferably with a Doherty assist

          2. WVA
            • 7 Years

            ML rival has captained him so definitely happen

          Jota punt felt kind of fun for a half anyway.

          Should have stuck with the dullards and went with the more reliable Jiminez but sure you can't have everyone.

        15. FFSbet.com

          Is Hayden nailed,who is threat for his place?

          1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            I’d say it’s his to lose now. I took a gamble on him as there’s been many injured Toon mids but when he’s playing like this he will be difficult to bench.

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

            About 3 injured players

            1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
              • 10 Years

          So after a poor GW I’d hoped to make a little ground with Doherty and my differential - Jota.

          Jota off for a 1 pointer just sums everything up.

          Diop might be a better bet than Doherty, saves 0.8m, gives you 4 out of 5 decent fixtures. Also nailed.
