Jota on the Wolves bench as Arsenal go with 3-4-3 formation

Diogo Jota (£6.2m) finds himself on the bench for Wolves as Arsenal coe to Molineux.

Nuno Espirito Santo has gone with the 3-5-2 formation that usually features the Portuguese international, instead pairing Raúl Jiménez (£8.3m) with Adama Traoré (£5.8m).

The rest of the Wolves team is as expected, with Matt Doherty (£6.4m) and Jonny (£5.4m) providing width for the five-man midfield in front of a the settled back-three of Romain Saïss (£4.7m), Conor Coady (£5.1m) and Willy Boly (£4.8m).

Meanwhile, Arsenal have gone with a 3-4-3 formation for the second match in a row after deploying it with great success against Norwich.

Sead Kolasinac (£5.2m) is part of the back-three once again, while Kieran Tierney (£5.3m) and Cédric Soares (£4.8m) find themselves in midfield as wing-backs.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) sits on the left-hand side of the front-three, joined there Eddie Nketiah (£4.4m) and Bukayo Saka (£4.7m).

Wolves XI: Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Boly; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Doherty; Jiménez, Traoré.

Arsenal XI: Martínez; Kolasinac, Luiz, Mustafi; Tierney, Xhaka, Ceballos, Cédric; Aubameyang, Nketiah, Saka.

    Talked myself out of Rashford + Guendouzi to Greenwood + Mahrez, so did Son + Guendouzi to Mahrez + ASM.

    34 currently 1FT, 0.ITB:
    De Gea (Martin)
    TAA Doherty Holgate (Justin Lascelles)
    Salah KdB Bruno Mahrez ASM
    Rash Jimi (Nketiah)

    Want to be:
    Ederson*
    TAA Doherty Holgate
    Salah KdB Bruno Mahrez Martial*
    Greenwood* Jimi

    Thoughts? Doing it in a week for -8 could be rash (I thought that about Rash transfer this week) but a decent target if I stagger the moves?

    Cheers

      I'm thinking to FH next week and have triple Utd attack, Kane, Son, triple City

        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Interesting. I still have my FT left. I'd half-earmarked it for GW38 but yet to decide.

        1. 007 [RoboKlopp]
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yes and you can have Ederson with double city attack vs NEW

        3 years, 8 months ago

        That's not a bad shout actually. Although my normal team looks fairly decent too and I'd probably end up doing worse.

  2. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Who else Bruno, Tony, Greeny triple up?

    1. Hitmonlee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      See below.. agreed!

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Next GW, can’t wait for the 0-0.

    3. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      42 pts from just 3 players with captain still to play!

    4. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yep! No cap tho 🙁

  3. Hitmonlee
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 8 months ago

    How’s this look for next week (all on FTs)

    Pope
    TAA / Doherty / Saiss
    Salah / Bruno / Martial / KDB / Pulisic
    Greenwood / Jiménez

    DCL as first bench and I’ve still a shed load of spare change!
    I’ll then focus on triple City around the GW36 Mark

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm trying to get to something similar (see above) but using 2FTs this week has done for me for now.

  4. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Greenwood, Rashford, Martial (54) have surpassed Salah, Mane, Firmino (51) for goals this season.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      But not for titles

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yep and when they start awarding bonus FPL points for titles then I'll start taking that into consideration.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Napoli, Atleti

      Astana, Partizan

      1. Zilla

        Red Star too 😉

      2. sully29

        Fewer total games played though.

    3. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years

      That’s what you get when you include matches against farmers from Kazakhstan

    4. Hy liverpool

      Here we go

    5. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      Season's far from over.

    6. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years

      Liverpool have 31 more PL points with a game in hand

  5. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Is lascelles, son, rashford -> lamptey (bench fodder), martial and kane (c) for -4 crazy talk?

    1. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No

  6. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Shot myself in the foot a bit bringing in AWB. Would love to swap out Nketiah for Greenwood but I already have Rash and Bruno too. Hrrrrmmm

    1. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I want to do it but would cost -4, worth it?

    2. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, similar with De Gea. All sorts going through my head at the moment (-8 hits and the like) but looks like the attacking triple up is the way to go.

    Anyone watching the Wolves - Arsenal game? Everyone seems focused on what three Man Utd players to get 😆

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Im watching it. Not much happening tbh

    2. Corgz Dark side of the Loon

      Wolves dont come alive until the 2nd half.........

    3. Zilla
      • 6 Years

      So dull

    4. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years

      Yeah, I'm watching, zoning out though.

      It's a bit back and forth...Luis yellow a second ago

  8. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Can’t win. I used FH this week, and my normal team has Vardy, Rash and Martial in it

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Did you fh not have martial and rashford in?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        It’s has Martial, Pogba.

        1. Tempestic
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          So why include Martial in this sob story when hes also on ur FH?

    2. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Understand Vardy and maybe Rashford but why would ur FH team not have Martial in it?

      1. Tempestic
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        unlucky still

    3. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I gained 21 pts using my free hit this week already

    4. Reg83
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      why play Free hit in the first place? all above 3 players had excellent fixtures

    5. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think picking Pog was the main issue!

  9. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Martial + Jimenez

    OR

    Mahrez + Rashford

    1. Zilla

  11. how now brown cow

    David Luiz yc

    Red will happen

    1. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No idea why Arsenal haven’t started Holding again. Always seems like he’s their best defender when he actually plays.

    When Traore starts does he come off at 60?much like jota

    1. Rainer

      No

    2. how now brown cow

      Yep. Normally 10 minutes after dislocating his shoulder

  17. Reg83
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    really disappointed with that 8 points gifted to martial cappers & 4 pts to his owners.

    A real gift by FPL. was never ever an assist.

    1. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Was odd how we got it so late. Can’t comment indecision as havent seen it yet.

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      It’s in the rules. It’s an assist end of.

  18. Fred54
    • 9 Years

    Edddiiiieeeeee ugh!

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I want half

  19. DandyDon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Patrício onto 2 saves

  20. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    De Gea wouldn't have saved that

  21. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Patricio and Doherty owner here. Nervous.

  22. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    How's this for a WC?

    Pope Martinez
    TAA Boly Holgate Taylor Soyuncu
    Salah KdB Mahrez Foden Fernandes
    Kane Rashford Greenwood

    I would literally swap Rashford for Martial but there are just not enough midfield slots. Think Mahrez + Rashford probably edges out Martial + Jimenez. No good forwards to pick...

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Looks good but Mahrez will be rotated

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        That's why I have Foden, Greenwood and Mahrez. Should be able to cover each others' absences.

    2. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      10/10

  23. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Villa away will be a much tougher defensive prospect for Man U than BOU

  24. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Question to everyone with Salah(c) and Bruno(vc): will it be humanly possible to not rage transfer out Mo when he blanks vs Villa?

  25. Ed
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Martial, Bruno & Rashford owner.

    2FTs. Rashford > Greenwood and update elsewhere?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Think I'm gonna do that move.

    Gutted by the Rashford offside; looked on, would have put him into max bonus. Saw quite a few more than expected had punted on him as C with me

        Just abkut as threatening as saiss is on corners
