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

Raรบl Jimรฉnez (ยฃ6.8m) and Matt Doherty (ยฃ5.4m) were both named on the bench for the Double Gameweek 32 trip to Burnley.

Diogo Jota (ยฃ6.1m) keeps his place leading the Wolves line, while Joao Moutinho (ยฃ5.3m) starts in midfield.

Elsewhere, there was good news for those with Marcus Rashford (ยฃ7.6m) in their squads as he was confirmed as starting against Watford.

The England international has been deployed up front alongside Anthony Martial (ยฃ7.2m).

Romelu Lukaku (ยฃ10.8m) and Jesse Lingard (ยฃ6.7m) were named among the substitutes although there was no place in the match squad for Victor Lindelof (ยฃ5.1m) after his wife gave birth earlier this week.

It’s Phil Jones (ยฃ5.1m) who is paired with Chris Smalling (ยฃ5.6m) 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 (ยฃ5.9m) and Gerard Deulofeu (ยฃ5.7m) 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 (ยฃ4.5m) on the bench, allowing Miguel Britos (ยฃ4.3m) to start.

Daryl Janmaat (ยฃ4.9m), Christian Kabasele (ยฃ4.4m) and Adam Masina (ยฃ4.3m) 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 (ยฃ4.2m), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (ยฃ4.5m), Jeffrey Schlupp (ยฃ4.5m), Luka Milivojevic (ยฃ6.3m) and Wilfried Zaha (ยฃ6.9m) all start.

There was some rotation for Brighton ahead of their involvement in the FA Cup semi-finals as Martรญn Montoya (ยฃ4.3m) and Bernardo (ยฃ4.2m) come in at full-back.

Chris Hughton has gone for a front-three of Anthony Knockaert (ยฃ5.2m) and Alireza Jahanbakhsh (ยฃ6.7m) either side of Glenn Murray (ยฃ6.3m).

Burnley keep faith in their front two of Ashley Barnes (ยฃ5.7m) and Chris Wood (ยฃ6.2m) while Jeff Hendrick (ยฃ5.2m) reclaims his starting berth on the right flank from Johann Berg Gudmundsson (ยฃ5.5m), who drops to the bench.

    3. Amey

    4. Licky
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      I've got similar, 46(+4) with effectively 11 to play. Will only be playing 9 players next week though...

    5. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      48 here with Kane (c), Hazard & Azpilicueta, pretty content with that

    6. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Average top 1k currently 44 so you should be heading for a green a green arrow at least by end of gameweek.

  4. WVA
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    Don't think today could have gone any worse for me, two weeks of planning for absolutely nothing.

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years

      We will soldier on.

      Never be defeated. ๐Ÿ™‚

  5. Gaffa914

    7 years, 7 days ago

    PVA and Schlupp double up

  6. FlockofSeagulls
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    Rash + Martial worked out well considering how terrible United played. Hoping Martial is ok to play against wolves.

  7. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    Ferk off. Below top 10k average

    1. Forza Papac

    Justice for Lindeloff owners as Utd clean sheet goes late.

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Yeah
      Gutted as rival had Lindelof. Smalling would have nicked 1 bonus too imo

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      "Justice"?! Lol, strange terminology...

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

        Jones was on 33 BPS just prior to goal...

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Lindelöf "maternity" leave was known.

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

        I have both Duffy and Schlupp, so cannot either complain or celebrate.

        1. FPL Scoop
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 days ago

  10. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    I missed the deadline as I was stuck in traffic and couldn't get in Rudiger in place of AWB and had 1.7m lying in the bank for that. Was cursing myself for not doing that earlier instead of waiting for some last minute team news.

    Happy now with 62 points and 11 players to go again. FH gone right. ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€

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

      Zero Chelsea players, then!? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years

    2. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years

    aha wow, Felipe Anderson dropped

    1. Rainer

      Ankle knock.

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

      From the whole squad seems strange. Are you sure it isn't an injury?

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

        maybe aye. wasn't sure just saw lineups is all!

  14. Rainer

    46 with 14 to play, might see 100 yet ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

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

      55 with 14 to play. I won't see 100

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      yep, same position. fingers crossed!

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Including or excluding bonus?

      1. fr3d
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

        You're talking to the king of bonus

    4. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Good mate.
      57 for me with Hazard, Higuain & Azpi to go
      100+ should be ON for us

  15. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    55 pre bonus, but have SGW players Maddison (3) and King (2), with Mane tomorrow

  16. HD7
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    So didnt need to do Lindelof Mili to Smalling Townsend... oh well

  17. DROP IT LIKE IT'S HART

    47 with 13 to go any good?

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

      About average for the Top 10k

  18. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    How many more games might Matip get before Gomez or Lovern step in...?

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

    Selling Tarkowski and Vardy for DGWers is hurting right now

  20. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    46 with Hazard (c), Azpi, Higuain to go.

    Then all 11 (hopefully) again ๐Ÿ˜€

    1. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Just curious, why Hazard captain?

      1. Dacra
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

        Why not? 2 good fixtures, less rotation risk than Sterling and Aguero.

        We'll see how it goes! Was on Sterling originally, so right choice so far!

        1. fr3d
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 days ago

          Fair enough. Could be amazing!

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Great.
      Same trio for me, Kun © though

    3. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Hopefully aye! bold move on Hazard captain. could pay dividends if all our aguero(c) don't play again ๐Ÿ™ hope he's ok

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

      49 (+ bonus) and same Che players, but C Kun.

    5. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      47 with Hazard (C) Luiz and Higuain lets go ๐Ÿ™‚

    6. elchilangles
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      have same 3 but Kun triple captain all the way!

  21. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    46 after BAPs with 14 left. Ehhh...

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      The worst FH team. Thanks Regin!

  22. theodosios
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    Seems people counting on Kun for another game...

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      I'll take what I can get with him captain. Pep comments seem to suggest he may be able to partake in the Cardiff game, so fingers crossed...

  23. XABI 15
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    Small brag...

    20 point hit and a small green arrow. So glad this has paid off and still have 15 players to go

    1. Amey

      Awesome buddy !!

          ๐Ÿ˜‰

    2. The 5% Team
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      wow 20 point hit? I find a 12 point hit already very risky ๐Ÿ™‚

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

      Cojones, xabi. Well earned

  24. jimmy.floyd
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    Kun injured?

  25. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    How is it going everyone? Highs and lows?
    High: mili
    Low: David silva (so far)

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

      Low. Not doubling on palace defence due to a rumoured fake lineup.

      High. Getting Rashford in and at least I still had one palace CS.

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

        Good job on rashford. Hard to hold nerve on these rumours and injury doubts. Shame about palace though, who was rumoured out?

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

          Tomkins.

          So I ended up getting Boly in. And it means I have Luiz instead of Azpi.

          Maybe il get lucky with Luiz over Azpi to numb the pain.

          Got stung with Mane rumour last week two ๐Ÿ™‚

          However the lindelof news was true at least !

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

          aye. I bottled Rashford and went for Jimi close to the deadline and increased my coverage of B1. That went wrong.....

          Suspect it could be a fairly low scoring day

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      High: Aguero (c) Rashford

      Low: Everyone else

    3. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Happy with Schlupp CS, Rashford points, reasonably happy with Aguero(c) points - couldve been worse
      Disappointed in Sterling, Pogba, DSilva, Duffy. Wish I'd stuck with Milivojevic/BSilva rather than splashing $$ on David!

      46 with 14 (hopefully, looking at you Pep and City) to go though

    4. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Low (c) Sterling
      High: Rashford and Martial scoring

      1. Mambino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

        and double Palace defence

    5. Football Heaven
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      High: Aguero
      Low: AWB on bench, young cs wiped, having 32 points in my original team

      Sounds like I’m complaining. Not really as my fh is doing better but it’s just a tad frustrating

    6. Ziyech on the Bench
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      High: Aguero, Perreira, Shaw

      Low: Pogba, Sterling

    7. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      High - sticking with Zaha, Milivojevic and Tomkins, instead of going Batsuiayi, Townsend and Lindelöf.

      62 points with triple Chelsea, and then a full 11 to go again.

      Lows - Pogba...and not keeping B.Silva.

    8. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Low: TC Sterling, Duffy, Pogba, Jota, bench has Guita and Pereira, took a hit to sell Arnie for Bats who will probably outscore him now. Lindleof missing next game would suit me better.

  26. Srv210
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    That Zaha yellow flag made me go for Jimenez and now I lost some 6-7 points

  27. Richd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    Spurs v Liverpool is very important for us FHers.

    1. Rainer

      No as bad as I was thinking, look at them EO's ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
