Nuno Espirito Santo has already begun the rotation process ahead of Wolves’ FA Cup semi-final next weekend.

Raúl Jiménez (£6.8m) and Matt Doherty (£5.4m) were both named on the bench for the Double Gameweek 32 trip to Burnley.

Diogo Jota (£6.1m) keeps his place leading the Wolves line, while Joao Moutinho (£5.3m) starts in midfield.

Elsewhere, there was good news for those with Marcus Rashford (£7.6m) in their squads as he was confirmed as starting against Watford.

The England international has been deployed up front alongside Anthony Martial (£7.2m).

Romelu Lukaku (£10.8m) and Jesse Lingard (£6.7m) were named among the substitutes although there was no place in the match squad for Victor Lindelof (£5.1m) after his wife gave birth earlier this week.

It’s Phil Jones (£5.1m) who is paired with Chris Smalling (£5.6m) at centre-back for Manchester United.

Meanwhile, opponents Watford have rested some players but have made fewer changes to their attack than Wolves as they prepare for the FA Cup semi-finals.

Troy Deeney (£5.9m) and Gerard Deulofeu (£5.7m) start up front of the first-choice four-man midfield.

Intriguingly, it’s in defence where the Hornets have made a change, with Craig Cathcart (£4.5m) on the bench, allowing Miguel Britos (£4.3m) to start.

Daryl Janmaat (£4.9m), Christian Kabasele (£4.4m) and Adam Masina (£4.3m) keep their places in the side after starting against Manchester City in Gameweek 30.

There was good news for those invested in Crystal Palace assets as Vicente Guaita (£4.2m), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.5m), Jeffrey Schlupp (£4.5m), Luka Milivojevic (£6.3m) and Wilfried Zaha (£6.9m) all start.

There was some rotation for Brighton ahead of their involvement in the FA Cup semi-finals as Martín Montoya (£4.3m) and Bernardo (£4.2m) come in at full-back.

Chris Hughton has gone for a front-three of Anthony Knockaert (£5.2m) and Alireza Jahanbakhsh (£6.7m) either side of Glenn Murray (£6.3m).

Burnley keep faith in their front two of Ashley Barnes (£5.7m) and Chris Wood (£6.2m) while Jeff Hendrick (£5.2m) reclaims his starting berth on the right flank from Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.5m), who drops to the bench.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Bernardo, Duffy, Dunk, Montoya; Bissouma, Stephens, Pröpper; Knockaert, Murray, Jahanbakhsh.

Southampton XI: Gunn; Bertrand, Yoshida, Bednarek, Valery; Højbjerg, Romeu; Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Redmond; Ings.

Burnley XI: Heaton; Bardsley, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Hendrick, Westwood, Cork, McNeil; Barnes, Wood.

Wolves XI: Rui Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Boly; Traoré, Dendoncker, Rúben Neves, João Moutinho, Jonny; Cavaleiro, Diogo Jota.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; Wan-Bissaka, Tomkins, Dann, van Aanholt; Meyer, Milivojevic, Schlupp; Townsend, Batshuayi, Zaha.

Huddersfield XI: Hamer; Smith, Schindler, Kongolo, Durm; Bacuna, Hogg, Mooy; Pritchard, Löwe; Grant.

Leicester XI: Schmeichel; Ricardo Pereira, Morgan, Evans, Chilwell; Tielemans, Ndidi, Maddison; Gray, Vardy, Barnes.

Bournemouth XI: Begovic; Clyne, Mepham, Aké, Daniels; Brooks, Gosling, Lerma, Fraser; King, Wilson.

Man United XI: de Gea; Young, Smalling, Jones, Shaw; Herrera, Matic, Pogba; Mata; Rashford, Martial.

    2. Party time

      Definitely. Watford could serve them 3 piece and a biscuit if care is not taken

  4. FPL_Sponge

    Come on Batshuayi and Schlupp, looking forward to CPL vs hud

    Even if you just had the template City picks (Aguero(c), Sterling, Laporte) you're already fice points ahead of the top 10k average after one game, despite Sterling and Aguero being amongst the most popular picks in that category.

    Important to remember that the template isn't *that* template. In the top 10k : 70% don't have Ederson, 60% don't have Schlupp, 75% don't have Laporte, over 60% don't have Luiz, 80% don't have Son, nearly 50% don't have Rashford, over 80% don't have Batshuayi, nearly 90% don't have Kane, etc.

    Plenty of room to gain a lot of ground, even without doing anything particularly outside the box.

    1. Jealous Viper
      • 8 Years

      Very valid

    2. FPL_Sponge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      With Laporte, Batshuayi and Kane in my team reading this has made me pleased

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Me too 😎

        That's without looking at the *real* differentials.

        I mean someone like Martial (a differential but one who has at least been mentioned a bit on FFS over the last few days) isn't owned by over 98% of the top 10k.

      • 17 Years

      After the city game FFFix gameweek live says the top 1k average is 22 points

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Edit it has changed to 25 now including bonus for top 1k

    Next FH let’s all do the same team. Then we can circle jerk and have a happy time together

    1. HamezMace
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Is that not happening now then?

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        This^

        Also many in top 10k have Lindelöf, Doherty and Jimenez 🙂

    2. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I’m imagining circle jerk is similar to the Hokey Cokey but with no clothes on?

  8. Mysterion
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    "And the myth that Wolves rotate...."

    😛

  9. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Given a choice between Lindelof starting and Martial starting, i'm glad Martial is. Disappointed both aren't as I saw the comments this morning and dismissed them as the usual fear mongering.

  10. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Lots of Save Pts please Foster!

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      How would you feel if Pogba missed a pen?

      1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Brilliant as I opted for Martial instead!

        1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Very scared going without him though

        2. Tsparkes10
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Respect them balls. GL mate 🙂 Jota, Hig, Boly and Foster my risky picks

          1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            All good choices! Best of luck

  11. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Blue Clues article didn't help the rested Doherty & Jimmy 😮

  12. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    In other news, Wormgoor has scored for Brann to put them 1-0 up in Eliteserien!
    Get in!

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Game of Thrones reference in there somewhere.

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Only if Valar Morghulis scores a hattrick

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Tends to go missing a lot.

  13. tucaoneo
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    FHers what's your anticipated score? Surely everyone will say 100+?

    1. XabiAlonso
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      About 46 the way theses chips have been going the last few years

    2. Richd
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No idea

      It’s all relative to the GW score. So I guess 30% above the average is the minimum I’d like.

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      If any week will give me a 100+ score, it's this one.

      Already on 30 after one game...19 games to go! 😎

    5. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hopefully 20 above the Top10k average, be that 70 or 170.

    6. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      20 from 3 players, so 19 players left inc Captain, would hope to get 100! If Kane bags a few, that may get closer to 150

  14. Orion
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Any news on Kun?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Loads

    2. Begbie.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Pep says he felt something but not injured. Came off as precaution. will find out more tomorrow but hopes it's nothing serious.

      1. Orion
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers mate

  15. Justthis

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Suitable size bib for the amount of drivel dribbles.

      1. Justthis
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Im a top 1 million player. i deserve respect 😀

  16. Begbie.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Geoff Shreeves asking ridiculous questions like "are you happy with the win?" instead of asking about Kun ffs.

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I know what the hell

  17. Iwantmorepointsthanks
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Let's go Palace

  18. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I never do "you heard it here first" posts followed by an improbable guess, but I'm gripped by DGW fever, so...

    Scott Dann to be this GW's highest scorer. You heard it here first.

  19. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Why did Sky not ask Pep about Aguero! But Pep did make clear will be different team v Cardiff- so expect big changes

  20. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Watford dont look rattled, have started with good composure.

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Starting very well, in fact!

    2. Butcher
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Why would they look rattled?

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Old Trafford absolutely buzzing right now.

  21. Begbie.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Wood already.

  22. DAZZ
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    So schlupp is out of position then

  23. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Very good start vs Watford.

    1. DAZZ
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah united look shaky

  24. Richd
    • 14 Years

    Boly over Tomkins. Spew.

  25. Begbie.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Coady own goal.

  26. IRBOX ⚽

    United under the pump early

  27. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years

    Woody goal. Toy Story reference there.

  28. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Biggest talking pointa from the 3pm kickoffs:

    - MUN: Rashford & Martial start. Lukaku & Lindelof don't.
    - CRY: Usual suspects back. Schlupp LW.
    - SOU: Ings returns. Back four in defence.
    - WOL: Expected rotation. Jimenez & Doherty benched.
    - WAT: Decent lineup. Rotation next match?
    - BOU: Boruc benched for Begovic
    - HUD: Lossl bench for Hamer

    Not much to talk about for BUR/BHA/LEI.

  29. _Make
    • 9 Years

    Has anyone got Wood?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
