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.

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.

    Got Wood, now I have to also hope Matip performs........

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

      Giggidy

    2. Mysterion
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Get Jonny too 😉

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

        Always, safety first.....

  2. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    No chance Kun starts vs Cardiff lets be honest. No need to risk him

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

      😆

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

      Not sure Pep does reverse jinxing 😛

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

        Nobody is safe from my jinxes 😉

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

      Surely there's *some* chance, even if it's less likely now

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

        I honestly dont think there is. Players rarely go off the pitch then play 4 days later, nevermind Aguero in a team with so much depth

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

      To be honest, as my mini league rival has him, and all of us FHers have him as captain, I'd probably be happier with that.
      Also should increase the chances of Sterling playing.

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

      Couldn't even score vs. Fulham after he went off!

  3. FPL Scoop

    1. Differential C (Mark)

  4. Hy liverpool
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    Zaha scored yet?

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

    No Jonny - win, so far.

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

    Lol Wolves. Time to get Jimmy on

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

  8. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    Doucoure misses

  9. Mysterion

    7 years, 7 days ago

    Time to bring on Raul

  10. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years

    Doucoure messing up that shot, had to do better.

  11. Ze_Austin

      7 years, 7 days ago

    2. Butcher

      7 years, 7 days ago

      10 years is only 10 titles.

    3. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

  18. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    Man Utd will not leave with a clean sheet today no chance

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years

  21. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    Mata should retire

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

      Another bitter Lingard owner!?

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

        No, he just can't run

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

      No Mata 😮

  22. jia you
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    I don't want to come across as being smug but I knew Mendy over Sane was the correct play 🙂

  23. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    Goal good for Jimmy owners

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

    Matic plays like a Fulham player.

    1. Tcheco
      • 8 Years

  25. DandyDon
    • 7 Years

    Wow Ederson has not had to make ONE save in 3 last Premier league matches! #easystreet

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

      He made a very good block/save on a shot/cross from a Fulham today.

      May not have been exactly on target but was going into a very dangerous area.

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

    Rashford almost clean through, great tackle by defender.

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

  28. Garlana
    • 11 Years
