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.

    I had Deeney in my WC before he scored the pen 😎

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Same.

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

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        that is one differential team

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          Exactly. Time to gamble.

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Same. Been in it all along

  8. drughi
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    I don't recall Deeney ever missing a penalty

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Cech saved a Deeney peno.

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Don't think he has

  9. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Keep them all if they go out surely!?

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      nailed now they've been knocked out

  12. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Deeney locked in

  13. WVA
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Awful pen TBF, very lucky

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

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

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Lampard-esque

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Both

  16. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 26 days 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, 26 days ago

    So, great audition for the DGW Jimenez Jota Deeney

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Plus Deulo

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      No doubt they all blank next match

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        😉

  18. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years

    plot twist!

  19. fr3d
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Bald Patricio should've saved that

    1. Party time
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Hahaha

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 26 days 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, 26 days ago

        The alternative is going without Arsenal players.

        1. Weasel Boy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          This

        2. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          Unfortunately this

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

          This.

      2. Bambi
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

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

      3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Not planning on picking any arsenal

      4. Mr Bird
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

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

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          Ouch

    3. St. Joseph
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Is R.bennett now not first choice anymore?

    4. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Mili could probably be top scorer next season with VAR around

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        He'll be a lot more expensive though

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        You think VAR is good for Zaha?

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          this

        2. Magic Zico

          7 years, 26 days ago

          50:50

    5. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      On WC:

      A. Kun + Deulofeu
      Or
      B. Deeney + Sterling

      Cheers all 😉

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        B

      2. TheDragon
        • 8 Years

        I’m going B

    6. tucaoneo

      Damn ET is the last thing I need.

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Phone home

      2. abaalan
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Any reason Kola came off HT yesterday?

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

    7. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 26 days 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, 26 days ago

        Dendoncker kicking Deeney instead of the ball is the giveaway.

        1. Differential C (Mark)
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 26 days 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
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 26 days 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, 26 days 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.

    8. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days 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, 26 days ago

        I'll wait until your 102nd draft friday morning

      2. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

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

        1. Positive vibes
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

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

    9. Stoic
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      So all four goal scorers in WC ?

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

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

      2. Differential C (Mark)
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

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

    10. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

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

    11. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Anyone still got the same WC team from yesterday?

      1. Niho992
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Yes

      2. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Yep

      3. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 26 days 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, 26 days ago

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

          1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 26 days 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, 26 days ago

        Kola and Laca out 🙂

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          And out goes Leno also

      5. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Took Kola out

      6. fr3d
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

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

      7. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Yep. See above. Going differential.

      8. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

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

        No additional wolves or watford 😉

    12. Goat
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

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

      1. Niho992
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Neither

      2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Brighton treble up is ballsy
