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.

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.

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

    I think I might cap Vardy again next week.

    1. Effe
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      Me too

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

      I will be, Leicester looking great.

  2. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 days ago

    Massive goal for non-Free Hitters.

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

      My mini league rivals have played all their chips and have several single GW players, but are still outscoring my FH team comfortably as it stands.

  3. SM001
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 days ago

    Deeney goal would be lovely.

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

    I have McNeil and Vardy in my pre-FH team haha.
    Hope they repeeat their heroics next week!

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

      Haha, me too. And I'd have 2 more clean sheets.

  5. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 days ago

    Can’t wait to have Tielemens back next week.

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

    Tielemans has been superb today. Class player.

    Hope we can afford him after this season 😀

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      I hope that we'll shell out the necessary 40 million - trouble is that the big guns have been alerted by his stellar form.

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

        Yep, I'd imagine we are working on the deal already. Given what we wasted on the likes of Ghezzal and Slimani, I'd say he is worth up to 40-50m in current market. Look at Richarlison.

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

          Silva has impressed at Monaco too, could be part of a swap deal

        2. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 8 days ago

          Fingers crossed - we have some great young players and if they can buy some better defenders then we're in for a good season again. At least we should be cash rich with all the savvy transfer dealings.

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

            Things looking very bright. Could do with another CB, and some real competition for Vardy. Wilson would be a decent signing. I fancy us for that EL spot this season.

            Hopefully 7th at minimum next year.

  7. Paul
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 days ago

    Of course Vardy And Pereirra combo do it this week!!!
    😡

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      Pereira has been crap for me.

      But Vardy has done well for me since his fixtures turned.

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      Back to 2pts and 1pt next week 😎

  8. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 days ago

    Palace are one the teams likely to get fewer pens with VAR 😉

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      No, we will get more. (Especially v Watford)

  9. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 days ago

    Milivojevic needs more BAPS

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

      no

  10. rokonto
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 days ago

    Is Martial injured?

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

      He was hobling, but hopefully nothing

    2. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      Came off - was limping

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

    Zaha miss

  12. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 days ago

    Anyone else considering Pogba > Mane. I'll lose a lot of money on Pogba, but it seems a no brainer to me. Especially as I don't have Salah anymore.

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

      Need to decide if I want Pogba on WC first.

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

  22. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 days ago

    PVA over Schlupp was so obvious

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

      Money....

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

      Talk of poor form and potentially being dropped. Not at all obvious before the game.

  23. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 days ago

    Van Aanholt goal & haul.

  24. No Salah
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 days ago

    Hoping Shaw comes through next 10 minutes without any YC.

    My team did reasonably well so far despite having Sterling (C)

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 days ago

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

    That guy on triple palace defence. I hope he’s holding on ok.

    1. Steinburg FC
