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.

    I would like to make a public apology to everyone

      I bought a Wolves defender this gameweek for the first time this season.

          Saiss, and because they kept keeping clean sheets and had Hanley rotting my bench so seemed the obvious move

    2. Wild Rover

      For repeated posting?

        For mispelling Captain

        Yes, it’s unbelievable their defensive records ends the moment I get a Wolves defender...

          You think your profile effects a game in progress hundreds of miles away?

          1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Butterfly effect 😉

      For repeating the same notion over and over again?

      You're a Man Utd fan , got the big 3 right but captained Salah ?
      Mind you that could still come good !

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years

        Didn’t want to go fully eggs in one basket haha

  2. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    The only thing I’ve gained from this game is 6pts from 3 and the desire to lose both Jimmy and Auba

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Auba is soooooo last week 😉

    2. Amey

      He he

  3. Piggs Boson

    Chelsea XI: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Zouma, R James; Mount, Kanté, Barkley; Pulisic, Giroud, Willian.

    Watford XI: Foster; Femenía, Dawson, Kabasele, Mariappa; Chalobah, Capoue; Hughes, Doucouré, Sarr; Deeney.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Deserved start for Barkley. Been looking decent.

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'm probably the only person that cares about where Masina is, was gonna start him next week.

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years

      Captain America !

    4. Bun Rab

      Frank looking to attack. Watford on the break. 4-3 incoming.

  4. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    No Alonso.

    Urgently went to check my bench and realised Saka is a mid, no difference anyway

  5. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    So far, Arteta has made Nuno look tactically incompetent.

  6. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I have Alonso but honestly didn't expect him to start vs Sarr.

  7. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Pat one more save please for the save point. Need all the points I can get.

  8. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I might regret not doing Ings to Giroud.

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Highly doubt that

  9. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    One more save Martinez please

    1. EWH2020
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Only has 1 save

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yep, 6 points is good but typical that it is so close.

  10. Yome
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Jiménez to Kane for Bournemouth and captain?

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Don’t know about captain given United, City and Liverpool fixtures but looks a good transfer

      1. Yome
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Probably risky to captain a spurs players given their form. Armband stick to Bruno I think.

    2. james 101
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I did that switch in time for this week

      1. Yome
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Good, I thought Jiménez would score against Arsenal. 3 clean sheets in a row for Arsenal is surprising

  11. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Going to monitor pressers and stuff but others considering Rashford to Greenwood?

    I could have done it this week but chickened out. I want Martial back as well but that would require a -8.

    1FT, 0.0ITB
    De Gea
    TAA Doherty Holgate
    Salah KdB Mahrez Bruno
    Rash Jimi Nketiah

    (Martin / ASM Justin Lascelles)

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Why not just Jimi to Greenwood?

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Already maxed out with 3 United players

          Ah DDG!
          Taking Rash out for GW isn't really worth it imo

          1. PascalCygan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            That’s what I figured for GW33. But I feel like attack triple up is the way to go with United. Feeling reactionary now though. Probably need to step away from the -8 temptations!

  12. SuperMane Returns

    Does a penalty save also count towards a normal goalkeepers match saves tally in FPL?

      Wolves look terrible

      Time to get rid

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        They've played A LOT of games this season with very little rotation. Surprised it took so long.

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Although I guess the break nullifies that...

          1. Nightcrawler
            • 4 Years

            Not to mention theyve had a weeks rest for this one

      2. SuperMane Returns
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
