Starts for Sterling, Aguero and Lacazette but Aubameyang misses out

Two Premier League fixtures take place this evening, bringing Double Gameweek 35 to a close.

Wolverhampton Wanderers host Arsenal in the 19:45 BST kick-off at Molineux before the Manchester derby gets underway at a rain-soaked Old Trafford 15 minutes later.

Raheem Sterling and Sergio Aguero both start for City but Pep Guardiola has made three changes to the side that beat Spurs on Saturday, with Vincent Kompany, Fernandinho and David Silva replacing John Stones, Phil Foden and the injured Kevin de Bruyne.

Bernardo Silva continues on the right flank with Sterling on the opposite wing, meaning no start for Riyad Mahrez or Leroy Sane.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has wielded the axe after the 4-0 loss at Everton, with Matteo Darmian, Luke Shaw, Ashley Young, Andreas Pereira and Jesse Lingard returning in place of Phil Jones, Diogo Dalot, Nemanja Matic, Romelu Lukaku and Anthony Martial.

All bar the injured Jones of those five players are among the substitutes.

There is no Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the Arsenal matchday squad, with the Gabonese striker and wing-back Sead Kolasinac among seven players to drop out of Unai Emery’s starting XI.

Arsenal say that Aubameyang misses out this evening having had a “small sinus procedure”, while Kolasinac is among the substitutes.

Shkodran Mustafi, Mohamed Elneny, Carl Jenkinson, Matteo Guendouzi and Konstantinos Mavraponos are the other men to make way as Sokratis, Nacho Monreal, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Granit Xhaka, Lucas Torreira, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alex Iwobi are recalled to Emery’s line-up.

The Arsenal head coach looks to be reverting to a 4-2-3-1, with Iwobi, Mkhitaryan and Mesut Ozil supporting Alexandre Lacazette in attack.

Leander Dendoncker for Morgan Gibbs-White is Nuno Espirito Santo’s only change, meaning that Raul Jimenez, Diogo Jota, Matt Doherty and Jonny all get two starts in Double Gameweek 35.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Darmian, Lindelof, Smalling, Shaw, Young, Fred, Pereira, Pogba, Lingard, Rashford.

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Kompany, Laporte, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Silva, Bernardo, Sterling, Aguero.

Wolves XI: Patricio, Bennett, Coady, Boly, Doherty, Dendoncker, Neves, Moutinho, Jonny, Jimenez, Jota

Arsenal XI: Leno, Maitland-Niles, Sokratis, Koscielny, Monreal, Torreira, Xhaka, Mkhitaryan, Ozil, Iwobi, Lacazette.

    1) DGW's don't get sucked in, very misleading
    2) Laporte only must

      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      1) two 100+ game weeks here, very exploitable.
      2) Walker and Ederson both did well, so moral should be don't overlook nailed defenders.
      3) Too soon to tell.

    Looking like 102 pre from Laporte and maybe Doherty(?)

    Can’t complain with that, despite seeing some mental scores here.

    Son(c) disappointment and all!

  6. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    GW32: 29k
    GW35: 32k

    Guess I should be somewhat happy with a 3k red arrow since I didn't use any chips in that period? Next season I'm not gonna be a noob and have a better chip strategy.

  7. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    111 points with plenty of disappointments in my team. I’ll take it.

  8. HollywoodXI
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Will Jota get 2 BPS given he got the winning goal?

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      no don't think so

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Doherty got the winning goal.

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Jota did mate

        1. fr3d
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Doherty did mate

          1. HollywoodXI
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Oh bugger. Never mind lol

    3. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      No

    4. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      he's nowhere in the BAP scores

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        He’s 3 points behind Neves who’s currently on 2 BPS. A winning goal nets +3 points.

        1. HollywoodXI
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Never mind 🙂

  9. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    If KDB is ruled out,

    Is KDB + Eriksen 》》Salah + Fraser for -4 worth it?

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      what do you mean "if"?

      but yeah worth it in you cap Salah

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Does he have any chance?

        1. TRIPOS TOPPER
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          doubt it

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone on bench you think I should play over present team for week 36?

    Lloris
    Doherty Yoshida Robertson
    Sterling Mané (TC) Son Eriksen Jota
    Aguero Jiménez

    Foster Gray Duffy Valery

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Duffy over Doherty
      Valery over Yoshida

  15. OldBenKenobi
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    I may have just gone top of my ML with a score of 125 pts.
    Will be all about captain choices for the run in now.

  16. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Any BAPS likely for Doherty? Winning goal?

    What about Laporte? Likely to keep 3?

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      0 for Doherty.

      3 for Laporte

  17. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Jonny + Deulofeu saving my DGW.

    104(-8) points. 😀

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Nice 🙂

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Absolutely no one saving mine, huge red!

  18. Viper
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Does that result now make Sané a punty option?

    1. super zlatan
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years

      no way

    3. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years

  19. Majestic Chanka
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Pretty pleased with 84 with no chips!

    Is there such a thing as a good red arrow?

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Of course there is. Damage limitation

    2. Schafsalat
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I got 84 with BB, so yeah, can see why you'd be pleased ;-). Congrats!

  20. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Wilson > Firmino too risky? Already own alisson, Robertson + Salah so will prob lose Alisson to bolster Liverpool attack

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      6pts for Allison
      -4 hit for transfers??
      Hoping your Bobby then gets 10+ more than Wilson

  21. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Huh. Bit of a drop from yesterday is a tad disappointing

  22. McSauce
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Getting no bonus for Doherty or jota feels hard done by!!

    1. Celt Abroad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah especially with Laporte getting 3 bonus for basically turning up.

      1. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Agreed!

      2. clodhopper
        • 10 Years

        Jota and laporte mixed feelings

  23. JuulKrapuul
    • 5 Years

    1 GW, 14 games, 1 bonuspoint.
    Thanks to Long, LOL.

  24. WVA
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Deary me both City goals were so rubbish too

  25. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years

    broke the century yoopi 🙂

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years

      Good job 🙂

  26. CarsonYeung
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Laporte 3 bonus confirmed?

  27. OldBenKenobi
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    B.Silva to pinch 3 baps from Laporte?

  28. Winter_is_coming
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    If I need to catch rival with 40 points lead, this transfers are good?

    KDB and Aguero to Sterling and Firmino for a hit and captain Sterling.

    Rival don't have Sterling or Firmino and have Aguero.

  29. Isco Disco
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    132 all out!!! Woohooooo 🙂
    After 2 seasons finally my BB chip has been successful.
    Cut my ML’s lead from 70 to 50. I still got TC left while he has used all his chips. There is still hope for me to win my ML.
    Who should I use my TC chip on to cover those 50 pots?

  30. nico05
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4 years, 11 months ago

    Hi everyone I know I'm getting in early but any help would be appreciated as I'm trailing by 40 points.

    Llloris (Speroni)
    Doherty Valery Robertson (Dunk) (Kelly)
    Eriksen Son De Bruyne Pogba (Oriol Romeu)
    Aguero Rashford Firmino

    2 trasnfer and 0.1 to spend.

    Im drawn to trying to find a way to get Salah in my team/any other suggestions. Thanks for reading

    1. Winter_is_coming
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      KDB and Rashford to Salah (Mane) and any forward for your budget.

      1. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        That would leave me with 4 mil for a forward. My league leader has mane so I was trying to avoid him. I could take a 4 point to juggle things round?
