Marcus Rashford (£7.6m) was not named in Manchester United’s matchday squad to face Wolves on Tuesday night.

It is understood by the Manchester Evening News that the forward missed out on the Molineux encounter because of an illness.

It means that Romelu Lukaku (£10.8m) returns to the starting line-up for the first time since Gameweek 30.

The Belgian is flanked by Jesse Lingard (£6.7m) and FPL defender Diogo Dalot (£5.3m) in a front three.

Anthony Martial (£7.2m) has been named on the bench while Paul Pogba (£8.9m), Fred (£5.4m) and Scott McTominay (£4.2m) are selected as the midfield trio.

Victor Lindelöf (£5.1m) returns at centre-back after missing the Watford game, and plays in defence alongside Chris Smalling (£5.6m), Luke Shaw (£5.1m) and captain Ashley Young (£5.7m).

Meanwhile, Wolves have restored Raúl Jiménez (£6.8m) and Matt Doherty (£5.4m) to the side after they were beaten 2-0 at Burnley on Saturday.

It is certainly a much stronger looking outfit with those two back, while Ryan Bennett (£4.1m) returns from suspension.

Ruben Vinagre (£4.3m), who has shown statistical promise in his recent performances, comes in for Jonny (£4.3m) at left-back.

After much concern over rotation, Troy Deeney (£5.9m) and Gerard Deulofeu (£5.7m) both started both Double Gameweek 32 matches, the second seeing them host Fulham.

That selection comes in spite of Watford playing Wolves in Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final.

In fact, Javi Gracia’s only changes to the side that lost at Manchester United on Saturday are all in defence.

Daryl Janmaat (£4.9m), Christian Kabasele (£4.4m) and Adam Masina (£4.3m) all drop the bench while Miguel Britos (£4.3m) misses out entirely.

Coming in for the quartet are José Holebas (£4.8m), Adrian Mariappa (£4.2m), Craig Cathcart (£4.5m) and Kiko Femenía (£4.2m).

After they missed out on the defeat to Manchester City, Tim Ream (£4.2m) and Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.4m) return to the Fulham side.

Watford XI: Foster; Kiko, Mariappa, Cathcart, Holebas; Hughes, Doucouré, Capoue, Pereyra; Deulofeu, Deeney.

Fulham XI: Rico; Christie, Ream, Le Marchand, Bryan; Anguissa, Chambers; Babel, Cairney, Sessegnon; Mitrovic.

Wolves XI: Rui Patrício; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Doherty, Dendoncker, Rúben Neves, João Moutinho, Rúben Vinagre; Jiménez, Diogo Jota.

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Shaw, Lindelöf, Smalling, Young; Pogba, Fred, McTominay; Lingard, Lukaku, Dalot.

      Looking like 63 with (hopefully 🙂 ) Hazard Azpi Schlupp Duffy Higuain DSilva Sterling to go. No captain 🙁

    5. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years

      61. Hopefully 7 to go

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

      67 with 9 (8 due to Aguero) but Kane (C)

  2. janowsc
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    Can’t make this stuff up...

  3. Revival

    Utd have only 1 win against teams in the top 7 so far this season!

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Give the man a contract

    2. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      City to come

    3. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Exactly. The arsenal Chelsea games were fa cup games. In the league they've been awful vs top 7

  4. SkeletONv01
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    Ofc i got Smaling, ofc. Great DGW asset.

  5. Ode
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    The rebound goal = assist system is just ridiculous. This has happened so many times this season. If it’s not an assist in the actual game it shouldn’t be one in fpl

    Jimenez owner

    1. Party time
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Jimmy should get that assist or this game is fake

        1. Like an Egyptian Magician
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          This

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Kiko Femenia looks intriguing at 4.2

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Winger converted to a FB. He’s decent.

      2. kalmoffit
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Yay, he's making up for Deulo

    3. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Forget assist, that should be a Jimenez goal tbh.

      1. tutankamun
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Correct

      2. AccountAnt80
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Agreed.

    4. mad_beer ✅
      • 11 Years

      So how many FH players are we hoping to bring back in our WCs? lol

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Can’t wait for the season to end.

        I tell you what. Everyone will sell Salah and he will troll us again.

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          It’s inevitable

    5. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Anyone go for the Smalling Young and Lindelof triple up !

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Just Smalling and Young, genius.

      2. Iwantmorepointsthanks
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        one manager in the top 10k did according to livefpl

      3. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Would be nice if some big names come to the Prem from other leagues...tired of Germany/France/Spain/Italy taking the bulk of them.

    6. Don Kloppeone
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      -1 from 3 tonight. Green arrow guaranteed?

    7. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Pogba sighting

    8. MGD
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Haha if that is not a jimmy goal then it MUST be an assist!!?

    9. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      So Jones heads it onto Jimi's leg. Trickles towards goal and Smalling touches it in.

      At the very least it's a Jimi assist.

      1. Like an Egyptian Magician
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Exactly

    10. diesel001
      • 9 Years

      Pogs**t

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        How rude

    11. SomeoneKnows
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Question for FPL towers: Why did Young get -1 deducted for conceding 2 goals if the second goal was scored after his red card?

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        it's in the rules

      2. Toothless
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        You still concede goals after a red, it's only if you're subbed off that they stop counting against you.

      3. moment
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Because those are the rules: a sent off defender is liable for goals scored after their exit

      4. MTPockets
          7 years, 5 days ago

          Still get deductions if it's a red. Makes sense really - they're down to 10 due to him

      5. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        When will we know what it is we're complaining about with this second wolves goal? Is it an hour after final whistle for last revision?

      6. aborg
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        How do you send an official complaint to FPL?
        This Jiménez situation is getting to me and I can’t afford to lose my ML because of a lack of attention from the FPL staff.

        Almost another Smalling OG!

        Think that might be it for Pogba in my team - exact money to transfer him to Hazard this weekend. Crap form plus crap DGW fixtures plus CL distractions put me right off.

        1. kalmoffit
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          He's off- for Demarai Gray

      16. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        What on earth is wrong with Pogba? People gonna ditch him on WC?

        1. Keep Calm and Play On
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          the only reason he isn't gone yet is because of TV

        2. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          yeah think I will, has to be much better value elsewhere now

        3. moment
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          I'm ditching him this week, prior to the wildcard. Should have done it weeks ago but had too much profit tied up in him.

        4. Don Kloppeone
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          I’m feeling like I have to. Have 0.4 to lose on him but feeling like I should dump right now and not keep on bench for GW33

      17. Keep Calm and Play On
        • 10 Years
