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.

      You have 13 points coming off the bench to give you 77 odd points at 25k overall rank.

      Some perspective before whinging, mate.

          Yeah of course it's luck when it's your rival.

    Does Nuno have goldfish memory? Doherty got a last minute winner in the opposite fixture. History often repeats itself.

    1. Fred54

      Only thing Nuno knows is how to oil his beard.

    Jimenez close

  8. Niho992

    Jimenez is worst finisher in the league.

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      That’s Auba

      This week he couldn’t even make it on the bus lolz

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        yeah, Auba is awful too.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 7 Years

      Not true

    3. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He's got nine goals so that's objectively not true.

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Sterling have 12 goals and he is awful finisher.

    4. AuFeld

      Mitro takes the cake.

        I've seen Richarlison blow quite a fee

      What a change to hear you talking rubbish.

    Jimmy should have been on 4 goals by now

  11. Twisted Saltergater
    • 14 Years

    Jiminez close...... to the corner flag. Out for a throwing.

    Going to write a strongly worded letter. This is disappointing.

    1. Sim Simma

      • 13 Years

      A Tad disappointing mon amis

      'Disgruntled from Croydon.'

    1. Brehmeren

      You weren't.

  13. Demba Demba

    5 years, 1 month ago

    Big Mo on to shore things up

  14. The Ejiptian King
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I'm settled on Lascelles or Schar instead of a Lei defender for Digne now.

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Good man

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Has the benefit of being cheaper too meaning I can definitely reverse Auba to Kun after blank despite rises.

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

      I was looking at Pereira or Schar depending on this game

  15. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who to get: Lascelles or Schär?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Schar

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

      I got lascelles as he’s nailed and good at BPS

      Schar the more attacking pick

      Thing is I only got him to fill in for blanks mainly so wanted assured starts

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yedlin.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He's been shockingly bad. I think Schar is the one to go for.

    4. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I have banged on about Schar all week even though never seen him play before. He can obviously score goals and assist after scoring twice recently. Decent price too.

      Also thinking Dubravka as long term keeper.

    5. Demba Demba
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Schar not nailed so probs Lascelles

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Didn't play vs Liverpool and Chelsea. Looks the sort of defender we want in FPL then!

    6. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Lascelles loves baps

    7. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks all!

    This is a typical home Wolves performance under the Sky spot light against a team they should be thrashing.
    Newcastle are ruining everyone’s Monday night

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      When I have 2 Wolves players over cash ML rival who scored over 100 this week

  17. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    The women in these latest FFS ads certainly deserve a Longstaff...not something I can offer of course.

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I’m getting some milf ones which are cool.

      But the “my b____” one is seriously offensive.

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

        Yeah, I've come across that one too. Nearly spit out my tea.

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

          It is curiously targeted advertising.

  18. Twisted Saltergater
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    In their respective last 4 matches, Zinchenko has received more passes in the final third than Salah.

    This Man City team is frightening.

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

      Zinchenko looks a really decent prospect.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Been impressed every time I see him play. Bit like Delph but better.

  19. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Dubravka is still 5m with 0.7% ownership....most transfers in in one week is around 3k. Classic example of player being priced incorrectly!

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It's casuals thinking they can get points for Newcastle playing tonight.

  20. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Dubravka get in my team

  21. Richd
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Dubrav, Hayden and Lascelles all on 3 BPS

    This is tight

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hayden match winner.

      1. Richd
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Aye

        1. Richd
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Schar sniffing about too

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

      Longstaff to sneak in for one?

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I heard he can do it from around a corner.

  22. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Lascelles sells sea shells on the sea shore

  23. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Ederson to Dubravka no brainer ?

    I have feeling i missed the train after tonight. Newcastle have great next two fixtures, but when you expect CS you dont get them...

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Can you pair them ?

      I have Ederson and Hamer and looking at Ederson and Boruc.

      Ederson with Dub could be sweet

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Nope. I have Ederson and HAmer too and 0.2 ITB

        1. Richd
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Go for Boruc then.

          Boruc fills in the blanks as long as he keeps his place and then Ederson has amazing fixtures the weeks between those.

          1. Niho992
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah i was thinking about Boruc too, but im bit scared that he will be dropped next week...

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Depends who your other keeper is

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Ederson has great 28-30 fixtures. Silly short term approach

    4. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe not.
