Fresh off a price hike overnight Jack grealish (£ 7.8m) starts in a left-side attacking role for Aston Villa at Molineux.
The flanks of the England midfielder Ollie watkins (£ 6.1 million) on one side, with Bertrand traore (£ 5.9m) gave a start on the opposite wing.
There is no place on Dean Smith’s team of the day for Trezeguet (£ 5.3 million). The midfielder suffered a cut to his head in game week 10.
Emi Martinez (£ 4.8m) sits between Villa’s goal posts behind four behind. Matt Targett (£ 4.5m) is the cheapest FPL option in that defense.
Smith has also started the £ 4.5 million midfielder Jacob ramsey, with the 19-year-old taking Ireland’s place Conor Hourihane (6.0 million pounds sterling). Villa’s boss said about his selection decision:
[Jacob] it has really impressed. He has played several cup matches for us and he excelled in them.It’s tough for Conor Hourihane, but I felt like the way Jacob has trained over the last few weeks has really impressed me. Your energy levels have gotten you started today.
About the injured Ross Barkley (£ 5.9 million), Smith explained Wednesday:
No [he’s not in the squad for Wolves]. He still has an injury. He is rehabilitating at the moment, he has returned to running. It shouldn’t be long before I get back.
Fabio Silva (£ 5.2 million) is tasked with erasing Villa’s bottom line clean sheet, as Nuno Espirito Santo hands the young forward his full Premier League debut.
Silva will perform in front of a trio of offensive midfielders that contains Pedro Neto (£ 5.7 million), Daniel Podence (£ 5.4 million) and Adama traore (6.2 million pounds sterling).
“You have to stick to your tasks. He has a talent for exploiting situations that can happen ”. – Nuno Espirito Santo on Fabio Silva
The Wolves manager is also left with a back four, who sees the surprising inclusion of Romain saiss (£ 5.1 million) ahead of banking Willy boly (£ 5.5 million). Budget option Max kilman (£ 4.3 million) is also a substitute.
Aston Villa has not played since Gameweek 10, after their GW11 clash with Newcastle was postponed due to the Magpies’ Covid-19 outbreak.
The Villans lost 2-1 to West Ham in GW10 when Watkins missed a penalty. When asked if the forward would have taken a second penalty on the night, Smith answered on Friday:
It’s not something I’ve discussed at this point, but we’ll do it before the Wolves game. He was disappointed with the missed penalty, an opportunity to score from 12 yards.
He just wants to keep getting better, he will keep working hard. He is eager to play again. It is not pleasant to miss a penalty. I’ve missed one myself. It is an integral part of the game and it is always the way you recover.
Fabio Silva, at 18, is the Wolves’ only available senior forward after Raúl Jiménez suffered a serious head injury at GW10.
The Mexico star was photographed visiting the Wolves training ground this week, with Nuno saying on Friday:
Okay, it’s Raúl himself. He’s smiling and being positive and it’s so good to have him. We had normal conversations. We already talked about the team and how we see it.
You have this desire that you want to return and this is the most important step you have already taken. It will take time but you want to go back.
The boss of the Wolves added Jonny (£ 5.4 million):
He is doing very well. He is a strong player, as you can see, but now he has to have some time. We can’t rush things.
Wolves XI (4-2-3-1): Rui Patricio; Marcal, Saiss, Coady, Semedo; Dendoncker, Moutinho; Neto, Podence, Adama Traoré; Fabio Silva.
Aston Villa XI (4-3-3): Martinez; Targett, Mings, Konsa, Cash; McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Ramsey; Grealish, Watkins, Bertrand Traoré.
