Everton v Arsenal was the only Premier League match to take place on Sunday, so attention now switches to the FA Cup semi-final between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Watford.

Both of these sides enjoy two fixtures in Double Gameweek 35 and several of their players will be very much in the minds of Fantasy managers as they prepare their squads for the season run-in.

There are three changes to the Wolves side that beat Manchester United in midweek but the team that lines up at Wembley is effectively Nuno Espirito Santo’s first-choice starting XI, save for the inclusion of cup goalkeeper John Ruddy over Rui Patricio.

Romain Saiss gets the nod over Ryan Bennett at centre-half, while Jonny returns at wing-back as Ruben Vinagre makes way.

Raul Jimenez and Diogo Jota resume their partnership up front, while Matt Doherty – owned by more than one in five FPL managers – lines up on the right flank.

Javi Gracia has made two changes to the team that beat Fulham on Tuesday, with Heurelho Gomes replacing Ben Foster as anticipated.

More noteworthy for Fantasy managers ahead of Gameweek 35 is the inclusion of Andre Gray over Gerard Deulofeu up front.

Gray set up two of the Hornets’ goals against the Cottagers in midweek and was talked up by fellow striker Troy Deeney in the club captain’s post-match interview.

Wolves XI (3-5-2): Ruddy, Saiss, Coady, Boly, Doherty, Dendoncker, Moutinho, Neves, Jonny, Jota, Jimenez.

Watford XI (4-4-2): Gomes, Kiko Femenía, Mariappa, Cathcart, Holebas, Hughes, Doucouré, Capoue, Pereyra, Deeney, Gray.

      Same.

      Etheridge - Lloris
      Doherty - Dunk - Kolasinac - Holebas - Bertrand
      Alli - KDB - Sane - Redmond - Jota
      Deeney - Aubameyang - Lukaku

        that is one differential team

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Exactly. Time to gamble.

  8. drughi

    I don't recall Deeney ever missing a penalty

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Cech saved a Deeney peno.

    Doherty, Jota & Jimmy to who, who & who?

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

      Keep them all if they go out surely!?

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

  12. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Deeney locked in

  13. WVA
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Awful pen TBF, very lucky

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A pen hit as hard as that and on target can't really be described as 'lucky'.

      1. DV8R
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Both

  16. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    They have VAR and they re still sh*t. Worst referres in the Europe.

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

    So, great audition for the DGW Jimenez Jota Deeney

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Plus Deulo

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      No doubt they all blank next match

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

    plot twist!

  19. fr3d
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Bald Patricio should've saved that

    1. Party time

      Hahaha

  20. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    If only there were a alternative to Laca in the arsenal attack to so I could go with Deeney and Jimi...

    Can’t trust Ozil or Ramsey minutes

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      The alternative is going without Arsenal players.

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

        This

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

        Unfortunately this

      3. Positive vibes
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        This.

    2. Bambi
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      avoid arsenal all together. horrible away form and rotation galore. Kola maybe

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not planning on picking any arsenal

    4. Mr Bird
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Can’t trust Arsenal full stop... and i’m a fan!

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

        Ouch

  21. St. Joseph
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Is R.bennett now not first choice anymore?

  22. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Mili could probably be top scorer next season with VAR around

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He'll be a lot more expensive though

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

      You think VAR is good for Zaha?

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

        this

      2. Magic Zico

  23. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    On WC:

    A. Kun + Deulofeu
    Or
    B. Deeney + Sterling

    Cheers all 😉

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

      B

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

      I’m going B

  24. tucaoneo
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Damn ET is the last thing I need.

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Phone home

    2. abaalan
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Any reason Kola came off HT yesterday?

      Is Ozil (or any Arsenal mids) worth considering on WC? Assume they were useless yesterday...

  25. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Not the best diaplay of VAR, how is that a peno. Deeney making a meal out of it, fair play, and it looked a foul to Michael Oliver and me first time. But wtf is happening in that VAR camera room? Shocking.

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

      Dendoncker kicking Deeney instead of the ball is the giveaway.

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        True, but wouldnt have given it. Deeney made a meal out it, that was just contact. Dendoncker soles werent stamping on Troy's thigh or foot or anything, just plain contact. Not a peno in my book.

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

      Ref gave peno. Has to be a clear and obvious mistake for VAR to overturn it

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        To be honest with you, don't really get the procedures and rules asspciated with VAR. I guess thats the procedure, it wasnt neccesarily super OBVIOUS, I guess, but still. Felt Leander was hard done there.

  26. Positive vibes
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Please RMWCT 3rd draft, any thought?
    Want to have Foster and Duffy/Dunk

    Lloris
    Robbo, Laporte, Doherty
    Sterling, Mane, Son, Deulofeu
    Kane, Vardy, Jimenez
    [Ryan, Valery, Bennett, CHO]
    0.0m itb, Ta

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'll wait until your 102nd draft friday morning

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

      if you want to have foster and duffy/dunk where they at?

      1. Positive vibes
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Ryan, Bennett, Deulofeu -> Foster, Dunk, JWP.
        And I must play Dunk ahead one of Doherty or JWP in 34.

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

    So all four goal scorers in WC ?

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

      currently jota jim doherty for me, while doing vardy to deeney after next gw

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Jota straight in. Between Deeney and Jimmy for that final thrid spot.

  28. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Wolves without Neves and Jota. Fancy Watford to win this now...

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

    Anyone still got the same WC team from yesterday?

    1. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yep

    3. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yep. But need to find a way to get erikson instead of son.

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

        I am going to have 3 Spurs attackers. It is Hud, so all in!

        1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I've got trippier in right now but hes probably not nailed for every game.

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

      Kola and Laca out 🙂

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

        And out goes Leno also

    5. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Took Kola out

    6. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Nah it's like the words Kola and Leno got banned on here

    7. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yep. See above. Going differential.

    8. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Very close, just added Salah/mane, Erik/son & Ryan/lloris

      No additional wolves or watford 😉

  30. Goat
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    On WC would you rather Kolasinac or Dunk for a Brighton treble up in defense?

    1. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Neither

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Brighton treble up is ballsy
