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.

      Have you factored in BST?

      1. Duke Silver ☑

        Also add another 5 minutes for Fergie-time.

      I agree.

      Injury time.

        What's E.T. short for?

        He's only got little legs.

          Gollum is Fergie's puppet.

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

      I can’t believe they didn’t give him the assist. The interpretation by FPL towers of the rules of the game is inconsistent.

      1. Rains of Castamere
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        As a Smalling and Jimmy owner, plus Kola for his og that was rescinded, it all feels rather unlucky at the moment

      2. Party time
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I will most likely delete my team if he does not get the assist. Why will I play a game that lacks consistency. Outright nonsense if they don't award him the assist/goal

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

          Bet you don't

          1. Party time
            7 years, 3 months ago

            I swear with my two massive balls that I will stop playing the game if they don't award him the assist/goal

              You won't even link your team 😆

                7 years, 3 months ago

                It's very easy to tell if someone has a team linked from their posts.

              2. Party time

                Hehehe

              ball symmetry.

              1. Party time

                Looool

    7. GENERATION X

      never hear people moaning that they got the benefit of a dubious assist. funny that.

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

        I own Salah and I don’t think it was an assist this weekend and said so on here.

    Thoughts on This WC team for 34? For BB in 35...

    Ryan Leno
    Kola Holebas Valery Doherty Duffy
    JWP Martial Sterling Mane Ramsey
    Aguero Kane Murray

    Murray to Jimi in 35....

    No pogba No rashford

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

      Doucouré for Ramsey

      1. gaurava1216

        7 years, 3 months ago

        No Arsenal attacking? Palace and Wolves....

    LMS safety score currently 59
    Might change depending on how they rule the Jimmy accidental interception from Jones.

      • 14 Years

      In the top 20 . Nice one.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Very nice. Only 120 or so left after this GW.

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Bound to go tits up shortly.

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Still there. I’m not set up as well as most for 33 though but it was good while it lasted. 🙂

  4. elchilangles
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    time to get rid of Rashford and Pogba? They served me well from week 19 and have earned a lot of value, but lately but seem to be missing something. But is too risky to take them before DGW35?! Don't know what to do!

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      you are some weeks late-)

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

        yes good point well made!

  5. Greglarrrr
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    GW33 team;

    Any thoughts welcome. Hating on Higuain but don’t see too many other options. Any glaring changes here?

    Boruc
    VVD Pereira TAA
    McNeil Hazard Fraser Salah
    Higuain Wilson Vardy

    Bench: Ederson Pogba AWB Kola

    1 FT, 0.1m ITB.

    WC being played in GW34

    Boruc change is boring but essential I guess?

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

      Kola for Mcneil

      Boruc lost his spot last week- Hamer 3.9?
      Otherwise if not losing any value in Ederson- replace him as WC next week

  6. Bobby
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    how long does it take to watch a replay - see it hit Jimi before Smalling and reward the assist?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Some people want a Jimmy goal.

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

        Id take that too. And include the assist for making us wait for no good reason.

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

      Smalling's touch dispossessed Jimmy, like Digne & Redmond.

    3. Party time
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Even my blind grandma says it is a Jimmy assist

    4. Pasqualinho
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I didn’t really look at it in detail, but if Jimi was the last touch before Smalling, it’s his assist. If Jones touched it after Jimi but Jimi’s touch was a goal bound effort, it’s his assist. If it’s neither of those 2 then it isn’t an assist.

  7. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Decisions like this take the good out of the game. Jimmy assist full stop.

  8. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Chances of Dilva starting tomorrow?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not great.

  9. @fpl_phenom
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    utd assets have regressed it seems...

    doubt I will have them on my wildcard...

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

      Shaw was my candidate, not now

  10. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Just give Jimmy the goal and assist to stop the moaning.

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

      Kane G
      Salah A

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      What do you reckon it was Jarvis.

      1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Non-owner so 100% no goal or assist.

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

      They won’t give it now, they’d open themselves up to lawsuits, etc. Loss of minileague winnings, etc.

  11. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Highlights of game on now again on sky.

  12. 7shadesofsmoke

    BRING IN FPL VAR!

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

      as long as the video footage includes looking at my gameweek XI and awarding the maximum point outcome to my players.

  13. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    53 from 15 (including no Rash and Kun)
    7 to go.

    This can be comfortably classed as an FH failure.

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

      whats the rank change?

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        19k to 24k

        Gone from 5k to this. 4 reds in a row.
        Possibly gonna cost me my ML. 🙁

    2. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Pah pretender 48 here!

    3. MTPockets
      7 years, 3 months ago

      48 + 6 to go (and Sane)

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

      Mine not far away. Unless Higuain and Batshuayi haul, then my FH for DGW will officially fail!

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I have Bats also.
        Unfortunately he won't haul

    Jimmygoalassistgate now being debated in the Commons.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      They'll definitely not agree.

    2. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      most will abstain and nothing will come of it until next season at best

    3. Rainer

      May speech coming up at 11.

  15. aborg
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    In all fairness if Salah was given the assist then for the exact same situation, Jimenez should be awarded same !

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

      Salah shot at goal.

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

        Jimi’s Shot was also aimed at goal !

  20. aborg

    Bonus points still not awarded officially. Maybe they are thinking to give them together with the possible Jiménez assist?

    1. MTPockets
