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.

    Bizarrely, arsenal dont look like conceding

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years

      That is bizarre.

    2. Hybrid.power

      Of course, I played Patricio over Martinez

  9. Niho992

    Start Pulisic please

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He should do if lamps wants a win

  10. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Repost bottomed:
    How would you rate these moves for a -8?

    Rashford + Jiminez + Cantwell > Pulisic + Kane + Greenwood?

    Season well over, so just taking some risks.

    Cheers guys.

      Yes if you just want to have a laugh, why not ? Go for it

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers. Got to laugh really, can’t wait till this car crash season is over hehe

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

          Same 🙂

          I think this last few gameweeks has been a bit of a lottery really.

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Sure has, whole season for me though, in total uncharted territory, and season was basically over by GW 15 or so 🙂

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Time to ship Jimenez?

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

      Last GW for Greenwood.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yep i’d say so, hardly prolific

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

      Who for though? Non-utd strikers not shining.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Vardy?

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

      perhaps but there's few strikers doing much of anything

    5. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Got enough cash to swap him for Kane vs BOU.

      Thing is not sold on Kane either.

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

        Yeah but it's Bournemouth.

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

        I'm sold on Kane, but not Spurs

        1. james 101
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I also dropped son

    6. james 101
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I dropped him for Kane last week.

  12. WannabeScout
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Jimmy + DCL > Kane + greenwood? I got exact funds before Greenwood rises

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      In a heartbeat

    2. Tinkermania
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think the pair you might regret it. Greenwood has had a great spell. If you think Spurs will get 6 pens between now and end of season, maybe.

  13. Nightcrawler

    Let saiss take it

  14. Kaiser123
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    If i make a transfer and then FH. Does that transfer stick when reverting back to todays team

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

      Nope

    2. Dont give a fuchs
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No. Happened with me. I did Richarlison to pulisic and then activated FH. Richarlison is back in my team

  15. diesel001

    3 years, 8 months ago

    Wolves playing too much in the centre. The wing backs need to stay wide to create the space in the middle.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Did you watch the latest Coaches' Voice video by Steve Holland?

      Really interesting vid on how all the recent title winners attack in a 325 shape.

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

          Thanks. Will watch it after the game finishes.

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Worth it!

            Teams sometimes play 235 when facing only one striker too. But similar principle.

    Dear Martin Tyler, it's not Dockerty

    1. SuperMane Returns

      Isn’t it?

      1. Says
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        no, it's Doherty, it's pronounced as it's spelled.

        Docherty is a different name.

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

      I think it is; Wolves fans call him 'Doc'.

      1. Says
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Docherty is a different name than Doherty

    After what we saw today, anyone getting Kane for Bournemouth?

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

      Big difference between United & Spurs attack.

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Even newcastle put 4 past them

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

        Thanks 😛
        I'm still getting Kane.
        I don't learn from my mistakes 😀

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

      Spurs aren't as good as Man Utd. Especially offensively.

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Better than newcastle?

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

      Might keep son

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

    0.2 short from doing Jimmy to Kane. Aahh

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

      You can always go for Deeney

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

        Seriously? I think vardy is a better call.. likes to go on a run

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

          Let's see how he play tonight.

          I like their next 3 games and they are desperate for wins/goals. Penalty is bonus.

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

            Yeah could be a masterstroke.

            WAT playing poorly though.
