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.

      They’ve had an amazing season. It reminds me of the seasons Ipswich and Reading had.

        It reminds me of those teams. They end up on the beach early. Dunno why I didn’t think of this before.

    Ref gave too much time.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years

      This 'loose' injury time has got to go. Should switch to a running clock that only stops when it is supposed to.

    as Jimenez and Doherty owner this game was so desperately to watch.

    Doherty missed sitter, then stupid Patricio concede like Karius.
    Jimenez missed few good chances

    1. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

    Adama to threaten Doherty with crosses like that.

  26. Niho992
    • 5 Years

    That was clear foul.

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Are you blind? No foul in the slightest.
