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.

        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 days ago

        Same with Kepa

      2. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 days ago

        That wouldve been benchwanking...gone bad.

  2. DAZZ
    • 11 Years

    Batshuayi is useless

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      Tried to warn people off of 2 Palace attackers, let alone 1...

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 8 days ago

        I heeded your warning. Went with Rashford and Deulofeu in the end.

        1. Yank Revolution
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 8 days ago

          Awesome Salt!!

          1. Twisted Saltergater

            • 16 Years
            7 years, 8 days ago

            1. Yank Revolution
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 8 days ago

              Always here to help when I can!

  3. Mysterion

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      would have been good bench points for me. transferred him out

  4. Yoshioka
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 days ago

    Well done to all the trolls with Hojberg TC.

  5. JIMMY TUGGINS
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 days ago

    So many twists in the Championship promotion race, Leeds 1-2 Millwall.

    1. Samwise
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      comeon leeds.... there goes my skybet super 6

  6. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 days ago

    Some last ditch defending from United here

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      Big time

  7. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 days ago

    Crapman over Rash looks so awful in hindsight

  8. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 days ago

    Deloufeou is too good for a team like Watford imo

    1. the german
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      I think he perfectly fits for Chelsea.

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      Hey, Watfords doing well this season!

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 days ago

        That is true 🙂

    3. Yoshioka
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      He's too hot and cold and selfish for a top, top club. I think he suits being a big fish in a small pond too. Could do slightly better than Watford though tbf.

  9. adibo
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 days ago

    This united midfield is so bad ...herrera and matic

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      Need replacements tbh

  10. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 days ago

    Huddersfield literally put 11 behind the ball, so boring to watch. Good riddance

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      When a club cannot afford to spend big money this is the inevitable consequence. Do you advocate good riddance to any side which is not exciting to watch ?

      1. DAZZ
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 days ago

        Fair comment.

  11. Chenku╰☆╮

    I have milli and bats in my team. Screw my life.

  12. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 days ago

    Jimmy + Doherty coming on to save the day

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      Wow!

  13. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Doherty & Jimmy are on!

    1. Royal5

    Please tell me this Aguero injury isn't bad, sums up my luck this season if it is!

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      It's not bad

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      He's fine, just a precaution

    3. FPLzebub
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      Don't worry. He'll be fine for GW34.

    The minutes tick by and I get more annoyed with the Tomkins benched liar.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      Sry man...gotta say, I never heard that rumor (unless it started this morning)

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 8 days ago

        Yeah it was this morning. Was on Sclupp and Tomkins all week.

        Ended up with Boly over Tomkins :/

        1. Yank Revolution
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 8 days ago

          Damn, thats cruddy

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      How are you going to feel after he scores the winner from a corner?

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 8 days ago

        I’m going to meditate

        1. JIMMY TUGGINS
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 8 days ago

          Is that a euphemism for 'drink heavily'?

          1. Richd
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 8 days ago

            Haha I think so!

  17. SM001
    • 10 Years

    De Gea, saves galore.

  18. aborg
    • 8 Years

    ....and soon comes the Jiménez goal

    1. Effe
      • 15 Years

  19. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years

  21. Gobigorgohome

  22. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 8 days ago

    Hamer having more points than Ederson is certainly strange

  23. JJO
    • 13 Years

    Hamer is on my bench with 7 points and in the bps mix for christ sake.

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      Mine too. But are you not on FH...?!

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      If you're not going to start him at Palace, why have him in the first place?

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 days ago

        Why?! He's 3.9 million and it is FHC and DBG. Possibly the silliest statement I've seen on here...!

  26. mad_beer ✅
    • 11 Years

    Can Watford just score and make me feel better about Lindelöf?

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      Regretting benching Valery at the moment!
