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.

    Rocking a crystal palace triple defense against Newcastle. Could be golden . More likely light brown.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      or dark brown

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Yep

    2. BigBillyBass
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Terrible choice. Rondon will score on Sat

  2. Niho992

    7 years, 5 days ago

    OF Toppic : Did anyone watch new Shyamalan movie ''Glass'' ? is it good ?

    1. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      I was bored to death, but some people like it.

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

      Loved Split, would love to see Glass

  3. estheblessed
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    So if you haven't triple captained... When and who?!?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      No idea, Duffy in 34 maybe.

      1. estheblessed
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        It's bad isn't it. I can't see many options.

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

        do brighton have a TGW??

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          no

      3. Anathallo
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        I went to watch Brighton at the weekend. They looked awful.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          They will be popular in 34.
          Hopefully Hazard and Chelsea defence can do well.

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

            To be fair, I'll have Duffy. He looked a threat going forwards. But it was honestly one of the most dreadful performances I've seen, for the first 70 minutes at least. They look directionless. Even Duffy I feel very cautious about...

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Kane. GW35. No other chips left for me

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Pick someone random in 38, have some fun with it and hope to finish on a green

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Like this

    4. boc610
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Lacazette, 35

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        This is my current thinking

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

      Robbo/Mane/Salah vs HUD.

    6. tucaoneo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Kane sometime.

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

      Considering Kane or Mané GW 36

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Higuain owners, will you keep regardless of whether he starts tomorrow for gw33?

        I know some are thinking of using their ft on him. I probably have to hold myself either way.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          Might sell for Vardy(-4)

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

      Mane GW36 or Aguero GW38

  4. DrunkPhilosophy
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    It's almost sad that there's any real midfield options for arsenal's run in..

    1. DrunkPhilosophy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      there's not*

    2. tucaoneo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Yeah it's been that way for a long time.

  5. tucaoneo
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    I'm afraid it's time for Pogba to go.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      This

  6. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    Ederson, Azpilicueta, Schlupp, Hazard, Sterling, Batshuayi and Higuain tomorrow. How many points should I expect?

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      25 would be my guess

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        So low of an expectation these days

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

      7-10 and hopefully FPL wont disappoint you 😀

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Nope always happy with this game

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

      14

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Great

    4. BigBillyBass
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      24 I would say

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

    Will Boruc start GW 33?

    1. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      i dont think so... i have him too so keen to find out

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      I doubt it but who knows

    3. Anathallo
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      I'm looking for Howe's comments, but from what I've read so far he sounds dropped.

    4. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      20% start

  8. @fpl_phenom
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    Looks like utd have blown top 4 ... so many chances to put that game to bed...

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

      Don't worry, now it's back in our own hands we are sure to eff it up again.

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      and OGS came out before the match saying top 4 is in their destiny....

  9. Surfeit of Lampteys
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    Anyone got rashford, Alonso, aguero and Ashley young?

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

      4 unfortunates in the Top10k.

      https://www.livefpl.net/top10k_ownership

      1. Surfeit of Lampteys
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Ouch. I mean the first three did return something at least. Expectations are high in DGWs though.

  10. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    Who are you going with for (C) for GW33?

    1. Surfeit of Lampteys
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Vardy but might change to Eden

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Hazard is the biggest troll ever. Mane an option?

        1. Surfeit of Lampteys
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          Yeah for sure but I kinda fancy Southampton to frustrate Liverpool there. I don't think they'll stop from scoring though and Mané most likely to score

    2. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      I might go Robertson. Which means Salah haul.

    3. BigBillyBass
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Vardy. Easiest choice I’ve had this season

    4. Anathallo
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Mane

    5. tucaoneo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Vardy

  11. boc610
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    Ole just got doused with a big bucket of reality and has woken up to the fact that it's not 1999 anymore.

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

      Lots of big teams have struggled at Molineux this season tbf

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Wolves played really well against top teams

  12. Vinyl78LP
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    Is Hamer back in favour or played last weekend as a one off.

    Rotting on my bench all season, but might start him for once in 33 as Fabs is away at Chelsea.

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

      Probably one-off. Lossl was returning from Internationals again. (Happened last time out too.)

      1. Vinyl78LP
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Cheers, probably still start him - nothing to lose if auto subbed out.

  13. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    Who would you start from Boruc and Guaita?

    1. BigBillyBass
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Boruc isn’t first choice anymore

    2. Anathallo
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Start Boruc more in hope than anything

  14. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    chance of sterling playing tomorrow, how many mins?

    1. RealSocialDads
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      35, city fan who's expecting a lot of rotation

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      No Aguero helps.

    3. Anathallo
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      I think he'll play.

  15. BigBillyBass
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    Honeymoon period over for Ole

  16. RealSocialDads
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    For GW33 only

    A. Azpi (4-4-2)
    B. Fraser (3-5-2, already own Brooks)

    1. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      B

    2. Party time
        7 years, 5 days ago

        B

      • Anathallo
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        B

    3. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Anyone here scored more than 26 on the bench with 2 games on the bench to go? (not played bench boost)

        1. Surfeit of Lampteys
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear

        2. FPL Pillars
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          I would take that

    4. Hutchiniho
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Best City player rest of season?

      (Not including Aguero or Sterling)

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        None

      2. Anathallo
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Ederson.

      3. FPL Forward Thinker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        De Bruyne

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

      Currently have Robertson, TAA and Salah.

      Who would you get rid to bring in Mane?

      I can do Salah -> Mane for free, but it would cost me (-4) if I ditch Robertson or TAA.

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

        Salah for me.

    6. Anathallo
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Currently playing 9 players this week, but pondering the possibility of Vardy and JWP in for Rashford and Pogba for a -8. Could pay off this week alone with a Vardy goal and JWP 2 pointer. JV also a possible captain option...

      Would be the end of Man U assets for me for the rest of the season. JWP plays one more game than Pogba between now and season end, and would mostly be bench fodder. Vardy could become anyone else for -4 for the DGW, if I wanted.

      Should I do it?

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Yup

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

          Cheers

    7. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      BGW 33 team:

      Boruc
      Robertson VVD Azpi AWB
      Brooks Hazard Salah
      Vardy King Rondon

      Fabianski Snodgrass Pogba* Doherty*

      * = blank

      1 FT, 1.0 ITB

      I know Boruc is a doubt, but Fab can replace him and not sure its worth using the FT on the keeper?!

      Other than that, what change(s) should I make??

      Will play WC34

      Thanks...

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

        Looks a strong team. At first glance I think I'd do Boruc to Schmeichel.

        1. FCSB
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          thanks

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

      How many players to go in average this gameweek for top 10K? Anyone knows where to find the stats?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        5.74 EO after taking out Aguero.

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          Thanks!

        2. jia you
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          nice, I have potentially 9 more to play, hope at least 🙂

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

            Let's hope for 8 and jam off the bench yeah?

            1. jia you
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 5 days ago

              sure would take a Mendy no show and City conceding...that would be so sweet!

          2. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 5 days ago

            Aguero is out.

            1. jia you
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 5 days ago

              didnt know that was confirmed, cheers, ahwell 20 points from him is not terrible cosidering the low scoring affair thus far!

    9. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Rashford for Jimi on FH was dumb as it turns out. Can't believe my rival luck all season. No Aguero. Aguero injured. No Hazard guaranteed to blank tomo.

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

        Not dumb, you just got unlucky.

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          Getting unlucky for 2 seasons against rival who beat me last season. No chip this week for him and Jimi extra assist takes him 1pt ahead of me.

          I have Hazard Kane Mili Ederson vs Eriksen Son Bats and already resigned to his luck out pointing me

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

            Sometimes it hurts but it happens. My FH team got 32 in GW31 and I saw an 8k red arrow. This week I've got a 20k green arrow. It's just the game. Take it on the chin - whatever the reason he is ahead of you, he won't be forever. The last few seasons might not have been yours, but the next one might. And ultimately the up and down is all part of the fun, it would be boring to win all the time.

      2. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years

        He’s not guaranteed to blank, go to bed.

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          It's 11:50am. I'm sounding irrational but the amount of free rolls I've had against this guy last 2 seasons that flop is unreal

            You definitely did not call yourself dumb before tonight right, when jimi got 1 point for cameo 🙂

      Early FH33 team. 0 ITB. GTG?
      Triple Lei attack too much?
      Swap Schlupp & Salah for TAA & Auba/Laca?

        Personally I'd double Liverpool defence instead of Salah, I don't think Saints will get turned over heavily, but they aren't great going forward. Would also probably go Chilwell or Pereira over one of the LEI mids and play 4-4-2. That's without too much thought!

      Just woke up to that result, should have left the OGS appointment off til the season was over!
      On a brighter note a Mendy no show will now be worth 9 points to my team thanks to McTominay 🙂

          That would be the sweetest of jam off the bench.

            Although the appointment of Ole now does not cause any effect. He will still have lost today and will in the future. He is over rated imo

        • Ruinenlust
          • 8 Years

          Maddison or Fraser?

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

            This week only Maddy. Rest of season Fraser.

          Is there much consensus on which Arsenal striker is best? Or are people thinking to avoid because of possible rotation?

            Hard to look beyond Scott McTominay on his form.

              Huh? 1st attacking return of the season. Not nailed

            JWP or cheap Hojboj. Southampton fixtures juicy

          Currently 83k to 72k... Sterling, Schlupp, Haz and Hig to play. Up or down?

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

            Depends how many points they get and how many points other players get really.
