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.

    4-5-1 with Greenwood upfront will do the job for now 😀

        Kane is really bad value

    There is no point Wolves having Traore on the pitch if you aren't going to put him on the shoulder of the last defender to stretch the game. Wolves are playing it into his feet. He can't use his pace and acceleration with his back to goal. Really poor from Nuno.

    1. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years

      He will change to 3-4-3

    Need a bit of help here. My ML is 60 points ahead of me and he just used his wc and I don't know what my plan should be going forward. I don't have my WC left but I got my fh and he got nothing left. Here are our teams.

    ML:
    Pope Martin
    Doherty Taa Aurier Holgate Simpson
    Martial Pulisic Mahrez Kdb Fernandes
    Jimenez Rashford Nketiah

    My team:
    2 FT 0.0 ITB

    Martinez Martin
    Doherty Taa Awb Lascelles Simpson
    Martial Pulisic Sarr Kdb Salah
    Jimenez Rashford Nketiah

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years

      AWB and Nketiah to anyone and Greenwood

    2. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Only 6 different players. How about try Sarr, Rash -> Son, Greenwood?

  4. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Budget players scoring like crazy...

  5. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years

    the plot thickens...

  6. Gringo Kid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Do you have a clue what to do here?

    Martinez (McCarthy)
    TAA, Maguire, Saiss (Taylor, Ritchie)
    Salah, Son, Pulisic, Fernandes (Barnes
    DCL, Jimmy, Rashford

    1FT 0.0 ITB

    1. Baron Penguin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      DCL to Greenwood, Maguire to anyone.

  7. Holding Matip
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Wonder if you can quantify the effect of no crowd to a team/players performance, must be significantly easier to play without a crowd...

  8. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years

    Giroud my super punt later :>

  9. Babit1967
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Geez going down 500 places as it stands and that was with Bruno Greenwood and Rashford, tough going in the top 10 k

  10. Qaiss
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    So FPL give Martial the assist and not Tierney? Lol, ppl at the ol towers doing it for their own team I guess

    1. Babit1967
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Agree surely that’s a Tierney assist ??

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

      Relax, Tierney was given the assist.

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Good 🙂

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      It's basically cheating which is very annoying

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yes, if Matić had done what Martial did, it wouldn’t have been given. Not a big deal, 4 points but unfair I agree

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

          I mean it would have but okay

    4. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      To be fair Tierney wasn't playing in that game.

  11. Royal5

    Stay on that bench Jota, if you want to finally help me with some points. #sakafirstsub

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years

      Just zero chance for it. Says greenwood first bench

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        What an awful investment Jota has been. Never ever gives me points.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          He's gone for Greenwood for me

        2. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 12 Years

          Aye, he's swiftly leaving my team later today...!

    Actually, not sure I want Kane, if Bournemouth are gonna beat anyone, it's Spurs.

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      As long as Kane is in the points

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

      I got Digne this week, fully expect a haul vs Spurs

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years

        Might be DCL's last chance saloon for me.

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

          Same

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Jimenez to Kane looks obvious atm

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Keeping Sonny for this one at least...!

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

    Doesn't look like Arsenal have built up a large enough lead considering Wolves 2nd half heroics

  14. UnitednationsXI

    Me: Ddg + Bruno + Rashford
    Rival: Martial(c) + Rashford + Greenwood

    He has turned a 20 point deficit into a 50 point lead in 5 days!!! Wtf. Gained 40 points on me last Gameweek thanks for Auba cpt

    Sigh!! Feel like quitting. 8 months of hard work into the bin

    Remember how my leagues don't allow United players?

    Deary me.

    Was 34k last week too

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      That's stupendous rule. I wouldn't obey it.

        Are you sure you wanted to use the word stupendous in that context?

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

      Ive dropped 25k with bruno and martial no captain
      so i guess without any thats 50-60k drop ? or more ?

    3. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years

      What is the point in that?

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        All Liverpool and/or City fans?! I know folk who won't entertain having United players in their side as they're Liverpool fans. If there are points to be made and money to be won, I don't care who they play for...!! 😀

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          This. Rules are rules. Never play for money

  16. Jack Burton
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Saka first on bench hopefully a no show off KDB

  17. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Benched Patricio and Saiss.

    Phew.

    Hope Pope and Aurier repay my faith.

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years

      good moves

    2. Ha.
      • 8 Years

      Aurier not getting a negative score is payment enough

  18. Oggle22

    Jota to Origi?

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Started holiday

  20. Babit1967

    3 years, 8 months ago

    Tierney is a player, was special for Celtic and at such a young age has a winner mentality built into him, gutted we lost him and for such a small fee, can see him being a hit if he stays injury free

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      i am keeping an eye on him

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      With Leno, Tierney, Bellerin, Holding and Saliba, Arsenal potentially have a mouldable defence that can improve and learn under Arteta's guidance.

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

    ML leader has Saka 1st on his bench.

    I’m calling it now. One of Foden, Salah or Mane will not play a minute tomorrow now.

  22. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years

    Played Saka last week, but was benched.

    Benched Saka this week and he scored. Life of FPL

    1. AC Yew

    Doherty's doubters.

    The guy will score

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

      Predictably done nothing since I’ve had him.

      This no longer shocks me anymore.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah maybe the defence is already on vacation

    2. jungle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Thinking of getting rid - better options for the money

          Rash lloked sharp today. Could be the other way around next week. I'd rather double up on Rash/Green

            • 6 Years

              • 4 Years

              If you need to, Bruno. He is no longer a differential.
