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.

    Not much to be happy about today but I have a ray of sunshine. My boy Troy got a goal and might even snatch a bap or two!

    wolves are gonna get 6th

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years

      😀

    Don’t own Jimenez but if he doesn’t get the assist there it’s a bit of a joke.

    1. Party time
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Thank you buddy. I own and I only want fpl to do the right thing.Kindly give me my Jimmy 2nd assist.

    2. HollywoodXI
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Exactly this.

    3. Arctic_Orangutans
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He got the last touch from a wolves player it was going in before smacking touched it, so why isn’t it his goal ?

    4. Anathallo
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I own him, I'd like it, I'd get it if they don't give it. He's not exactly trying an assist there, and the ball hardly changes course. Before anyone interjects with the rules etc - I'm just trying to bring a bit of balance...

      1. Arctic_Orangutans
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Why wouldn’t they his touch was going in and smalling just helped it in !

        1. Bram
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Dubious goals panel will probably give it to Jiminez but too late for FPL where Smalling OG will stand - FPL DO NOT decide goal scorer. Based on a Smalling OG though Jiminez should get the assist with FPL twitter still showing;
          "Goal - Smalling own goal
          Assist - tbc"

        2. Anathallo
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          It hardly touched him. It was McAuley assist-esque 😉

  4. boc610
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    He's on a 3 year contract haha

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Will be funny when they pay him off.

  5. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    When I saw Toby’s OG I doubted Salah was getting the assist but he did.

    Today I was sure Jimmy was getting the assist for Smalling’s OG but he didn’t 🙁

    I don’t get how this works

    1. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Should’ve been a Jimenez goal haha

      1. Vinyl78LP
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        True, was a goal bound 'effort' by Jimmy, Smalling just helped it on its way.

        1. Arctic_Orangutans
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

    Jimmy 3
    McTominay 2

    2. BigBillyBass

      How has McTominay gone ahead of Jota?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        5 dispossessions vs 1.

  7. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years

    Does Smalling get winning goal bonus? If not who gets it?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Jota?

    2. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. Richd

      1. aleksios
        • 10 Years

        8 with Kun.

  9. SweepaKeepa
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Thanks a lot, Dalot! Keeping Schlupp in my bench with your zero contribution.

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Are you on FH? Why would you have Schlupp on the bench?

      1. SweepaKeepa
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        On FH with budget to spare. Was convinced Dalot would start in attacking mid with Man Utd’s injury issues... wasn’t too wrong!

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

    Felipe to Tielemans/Maddison,

    Or

    Take a hit for Pogba to Hazard

    For this BGW33? Got Higuain Vardy Wilson up top, Mane Salah Fraser other mids

  11. the Penman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Triple Man U in a DGW, against mid-table opposition, and they’ve earned me 10 points in total.

    You have to laugh...

    1. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Those mid-table teams are fewer points behind ManUtd than ManUtd behind top of the league.

  12. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Started tonight looking forward to building on my 56 Points so far this week and ended the night on 55 Points.

    Thanks Young, Pogba and Rashford.

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      It’s incredibly unfortunate

    2. gaurava1216

      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      1. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        No, Young started the night on 2 and ended up on -1.

        1. the Penman
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Ah, of course, yes. Sigh. (I own him and everything...)

      2. Patio Kev
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Young got -3 tonight so yes gone from 56 points to 55 points with triple Man Utd. Love double game weeks.....,,,

      3. The Shaman
        • 14 Years

        Young was -3

    4. Don Kloppeone
      • 8 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  13. Syd.

    Man Utd are 9/4 to finish in the Top 4

    1. waterboy

    2. TheDragon

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Who's everyone's front 3 for DGW 35 gonna be?

    So many possible options....

    Kane--- Aguero---Rashford---Jimi---Auba---Lacca--- Deeney---

    How do you pick from this lot?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Kane, Aguero/laca, rashford

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Im on Kane-Aguero- Rashford/Lacca

    2. Robson-Canoe
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Kane Agüero Jimenez easy

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Watford vs hfield A and Southampton H- deeney could be good
        Arsenal vs Palace H and wolves A- Lacca/Auba ?

        Jimi vs Rashford ?

      2. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        who you taking from united? Pogba??

        1. Robson-Canoe
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Noone, no standout option and their fixtures aren't good

    3. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Kane Laca Jimi

    4. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Kane Aguero Jimi

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        No arsenal with Palace and wolves? Fighting for top 4?
        Kola not enough IMO

        1. JIMMY TUGGINS
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I don't think they're easy games, don't like Laca/Auba potential rotation and don't see any of their mids as options. Maybe also a bit burnt from owning Laca and Auba at bad times earlier in the season.

          1. HNI
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Wish we threaten this woodward bstrd to quit. Jist ruining the club and again panic decision of giving Ole big contract

    5. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Kane Lacazette Jimenez/Deeney

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I can t go without Aguero....

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Sterling will do for me. Aguero will replace Kane after DGW.

  15. BigBillyBass
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Can’t wait to hear Goldstein crying on the Sports Bar tonight

  16. tiger

  17. Amey
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    1 point from 3 player's today 😕
    Rash, Pogba, Smalling

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Better than -1.

    2. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      You are 2 points better off than my -1 point from 3 players tonight.

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years

      Humble brag
      -1 from 3 here
      Young the fraud

      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Well I had Young so cant beat me. And i was oncourse for my preseason target of top 1000 but now to be bored with another 5-10k finish..too much luck I tell you

  18. Sif

    So Salah gets the assist for the Alderweireld OG but nothing for Jimmy. Sort it out FPL

      • 17 Years

      Jones set up Jim who set up Smalling.
      Salah was a direct attempt at goal.

      1. Sif
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Jimenez's header was an attempt on goal too.

    3. clodhopper

    2. Duke Silver ☑

      Won't matter when he gets his 2nd assist.

    3. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      What about the clear 2nd assist to be confirmed.

    Ole is the right man for United to be honest

        Hehe... I told those United fans how poor Ole is, they got carried away by his fake magic

      LVG: "The main difference between Mourinho and Solskjaer is that Solskjaer is winning".

    3. EMBOLOFAN

      maybe he’ll get them relegated like he did cardiff

      1. Party time

        I hope not, I still want Smalling own goals for my fpl rivals

    4. HNI

      Short term. Not 3 years! Wish glazers fire woodward quickly. He is the core of rotting Manutd .

  22. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years

    I would give nuno manager of the season.

    Wolves have been great.

    Going for it against a top 6 club a few days before the semi finals is such a refreshing thing.

    1. Londongeezaa
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Agreed. Very good side to watch this season.

  23. the Penman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    See, this is what happens when you give the temporary manager a contract. Everyone takes their eye off the ball and their hands off the wheel for next season!

    85 points with 6 players to play

        Sam Allerdyce"s Bolton were a massive bogey team for my team, but very sad to see them in the situation they are in.

      If you read the FPL Twitter statement yesterday regarding Salah’s assist that was given, they quoted the Rule that states if a player “forces” a mistake from a defender / gisljeeper goalkeeper that ends up as an OG then it’s an assist. Well surely Jiminez forced Smalling into that OG by touching the ball onto his hand? And it was on target so could even be given as a goal to Jiminez. How does he not get given anything? Ridiculous.
