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.

    I knew it Jimenez is rank killer, and i wrote this about that, and i bring Batshuayi over him 5 minutes before deadline.

      Schoolboy

  5. Rainer

      Numb getting the lawsuit together!

    2. VanDijksToWatchOutFor

      Too late then. Over an hour passed before that decision.

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

        Points won’t count then?

    3. RealSocialDads
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Key phrase 'once the points have all been updated'... BPS not been added yet so points not finished updating for today

      1. MTPockets
        7 years, 3 months ago

        That's pretty selective reading, but I'm very bothered

        1. MTPockets
          7 years, 3 months ago

          *not very

      2. VanDijksToWatchOutFor

        Spot

    4. Somar
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      But no points were awarded to Jimmy for the Smalling own goal. It says "...points awarded in-game..." Nothing was altered. Points were given.

    JUSTICE FOR RAUL

  11. aborg

    Jimenez awarded second assist but my score had not reflected that yet! He is still on 6 !

    1. TorresMagic™

      Press refresh.

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

        Lol you think I don’t do that every 2 secs !
        Actually after I posted it had just refreshed ! Waiting for the bonus points now 🙂

    2. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 13 Years

      you don't get the points if your name starts with A.

    3. Somar
      • 9 Years

      "Did you try switching it off and back on again"?

      1. aborg

        Hahaha The IT Crowd

  12. Andy Mac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    On my app shows 2x assists but points not changed yet. Is it a done deal now then for Jimmy??

  13. Mysterion
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Lawsuits imminent

  14. GREEN IS GOOD
    • 10 Years

    That was bigger than Brexit

  15. Party time

    This game is the best game ever!!!

      How are those balls resting?

      1. Party time

        Hahaha. Good, thank you 🙂

        1. 7shadesofsmoke

          7 years, 3 months ago

          ahhh, mate I tee'd you up for 'on FPL Towers Face' or other.

          Still enjoy that high buddy 😀

  16. Lumberjack

    Maddison or Tielemans? Maddison seems to be favoured, but Tielemans has the form (7 vs 6), PPM (4.9 vs 3.8), and cheaper (6.1 vs 6.8). Looking for a FAnderson replacement and I think it’s one of these two.

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

      Tielemans IMO

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

        Yeah think so, cheers

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

      im going tielemans

  17. 7shadesofsmoke
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Rank up to 4,666. Bad Omen?

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

    He got it.

  19. Party time
    7 years, 3 months ago

    30 points benchboost. Thank you sweet Allah

  20. Plymouth

    Do we think Sané will start tomorrow? Unhappy owner..

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

      I’d be very confident. Think he’s on for a big score as well...

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes I wish Sane was my TC this week and not back when Kun got his hat trick. Guaranteed to score well. May stick few quid in that.

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

      yes should start

  21. Sweetboi
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Jimenez last 3 GWs: 12, 8 & 12. Fantasy player of the season for me.

  22. Somar
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    It is given at long last. Was expecting a goal though. Jimmy has outscored Rahsford over the DGW. A decision I was torn between before the deadline but opted to go for the Mexican.

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

    If Jimmy's shot was on target then why didn't he get the goal?

    1. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Shot? But yeah why not.

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

      Smalling put it in.

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

        Doesn't matter if on target?

        No assist if not on target?

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

          a pass isn't necessarily on target

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

            A pass? No assist then.

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

      Smalling own goal? 😉 As non owner who had triple MU attack I just hate my luck 🙁

    4. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'd take it, but time to let go bud.

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

    Love how Dendoncker dummied and deliberately left it. He must have Jimenez on his free hit

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

    Remain-voting latte-drinking Jimmy owners getting their way by stamping their feet. Broken Britain.

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      😆

  26. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I am a non Jimmy owner and he deserved to get it

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

    "After review, the assist for Smalling's own goal is awarded to Jimenez. He provided the final touch before Smalling puts it into his own net"

    As Redmond did for the Digne OG.

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

      Not enough Redmond owners to annoy the @ FPL admin

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

      Inconsistent as usual

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

      Only difference was one didn't need the help.

    4. TallestJohn
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah if that's their reasoning it is absolute rubbish. If they adjudge that his touch was an attempt on goal and Smalling only got one touch then it's fine by their own rules but otherwise it's just more inconsistency

  28. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Jim and Smalling owner - so starting to feel a bit sharper now 🙂

    Right then, do I need to ship Anderson if I don't want a drop - or wait until tomorrow?

  29. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    yay

  30. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    FPL explanation for awarding the 2nd Jimenez assist:

    "After review, the assist for Smalling's own goal is awarded to Jimenez. He provided the final touch before Smalling puts it into his own net"

    1. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      And the Pope is Catholic
