One of Double Gameweek 35’s captain favourites Raúl Jiménez (£6.9m) starts for Wolves in the Saturday afternoon matches.

Thankfully for those backing him, Nuno Espirito Santo has named a very strong starting XI to support him.

First-choice full-backs Jonny (£4.3m) and Matt Doherty (£5.3m) both keep their places in the side, as does Jiménez’s strike partner Diogo Jota (£6.2m).

Opponents Brighton have gone with the same centre-back pairing of Shane Duffy (£4.8m) and Lewis Dunk (£4.4m), while Mat Ryan (£4.4m) is still in goal.

Despite those three players being involved in a disastrous Double Gameweek last time out, some managers will have left them in their squads and may be keeping an eye on them this afternoon.

There has been plenty of attention on Watford’s attack this week, and after days of speculation, we now know which two players will play up front for them against Huddersfield.

With Troy Deeney (£5.9m) suspended, and Isaac Success (£4.5m) still playing catch-up in the pecking order, it is Andre Gray (£5.9m) and Gerard Deulofeu (£5.6m) who lead the Hornets’ line.

Mainstay Abdoulaye Doucouré (£6.0m) keeps his place in central midfield as expected, while Craig Cathcart (£4.5m) and Ben Foster (£4.6m) start in defence.

With Jose Holebas (£4.8m) out, Adam Masina (£4.3m) starts at left-back while Adrian Mariappa (£4.2m) comes in for Christian Kabasele (£4.4m) at centre-back.

Bournemouth are unchanged for their home match against Fulham, which could reward those who looked at single Gameweek options.

So too could Jamie Vardy (£9.0m) and his Leicester colleagues, as they have Marc Albrighton (£5.1m) back in the starting line-up for the first time since Gameweek 24 at West Ham.

Bournemouth XI: Boruc; Aké, S Cook, Mepham, A Smith; Fraser, Gosling, Lerma, Brooks; King, Wilson.

Fulham XI: Rico; Bryan, Le Marchand, Ream, Odoi; Seri, Anguissa, Chambers; Sessegnon, Mitrovic, Babel.

Huddersfield XI: Lössl; Smith, Schindler, Kongolo, Durm; Hogg, Bacuna, Mooy; Kachunga, Mounie, Mbenza.

Watford XI: Foster; Kiko Femenía, Mariappa, Cathcart, Masina; Doucouré, Capoue; Hughes, Sema; Deulofeu, Gray.

West Ham XI: Fabianski; Zabaleta, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Masuaku; Rice; Antonio, Noble, Snodgrass, Felipe Anderson; Arnautovic.

Leicester XI: Schmeichel; Ricardo Pereira, Evans, Maguire, Chilwell; Ndidi; Gray, Tielemans, Maddison, Albrighton; Vardy.

Wolves XI: Rui Patrício; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Doherty, Gibbs-White, Rúben Neves, João Moutinho, Jonny; Jiménez, Diogo Jota.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Bruno, Duffy, Dunk, Bong; Groß, Stephens, Pröpper; March, Murray, Izquierdo.

      Jimmy and Jota get their goals from Doherty assists, whilst Ryan saves a late Neves peno.

  2. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Jimmy is gonna destroy those seagulls

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      As long as my captain is involved in his goals /assists I don’t mind.

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…

      I hope those seagulls don't crap on the wolves.

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      From the sounds of it, no chance at all

    2. RoysCallerAnne

    5. Bruce Lee
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Come on Raul

    6. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Come on Deulofeu...

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Yes set up Gray for a few and then get a red

    7. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      How Spursy was that. Bunch of pansies

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        All the goals used up on Wednesday 🙁

        Nice one, Son.

      2. Bruce Lee
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah so Spursy to go to the title leader's home ground for the 2nd time in 3 days... kicking them out of the CL and then lose 1-0

      3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Somehow I think they would take the run in the CL over the top four.
        Spurs have a great chance of winning the thing now at least to get into a final increasing the clubs profile etc

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years

        They lost on Wednesday night as well

    8. Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Captained Kev :((((

    9. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Very impressed with Kompany gave his man of the match award to Phil Foden.
      Plus Foden is a young man with an old head on his shoulders he sounds like a manager already!

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Sounds like a well drilled PR robot.

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Fair point. I think Michael Owen was the first of that breed who was trained to say nothing in interviews.
          But with that sort of patter foden can surely be manager in the future?
          Look at the master at middle management speak Brendan Rodgers.

            1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
              • 16 Years

              😀 Never saw that it is like he is channeling a children's tv presenter and alan partridge.

      2. Klein
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        City cbs were actually aweful. Through balls going behind like crazy. Ederson saved us.

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          I meant that I was impressed with Kompany giving his mom award away - not with Kompany's play

        2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          I just realise what I did now. I saw match of the day there and they mentioned that B.Silva got MOM. When the match was over I was half listening to it and thought it was Kompany who got MOM.

    10. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      My triple Bournemouth start!!
      Boruc, Fraser & King.

      Differential time!

    11. Manani
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      got away with no city midfielder there! Hoprfully Sterling will be benched next game so I can watch the game without hiding

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        He got a YC too! Excellent result and 90 mins too so could be rested midweek 🙂

      2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I am in that club as well.
        I can see another man city clean sheet v man united.
        I am a bit biased though as I have double city defence.

    12. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years

      5 players down

      22(-4)

      Haven’t Brighton kept loads of CS against Wolves?

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Yep earlier in the season they dud

        1. FPL Pillars
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Two before that as well in championship though

      2. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years

      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Anyone calling Spurs poor and saying both teams had same rest time - you clearly don't know how tiring it is to defend against a team with 60%+ possession in both games away from home

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Lacazete the goat

    15. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years

      Not a bad start.

      Come on Raúl.

    16. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Sterling 31 minutes vs Everton after 90 in the 1st game of DGW25.
      Sterling 0 minutes vs Cardiff after 87 in the 1st game of DGW32.

      IIRC, he also wasn't even on the bench for the 2nd of last seasons DGW37 game, after starting the 1st game.

      Different circumstances this season with an actual title race and no other distractions, but not ideal.

      1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Losing to United in a huge title race game. I’m optimistic of minutes.

      2. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Manchester Derby !
        He'll start

      3. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        He 100% plays imo

      4. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I didn’t play last season. Didn’t City win the title in March or something?

      5. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        No doubts he will start here

      Brighton have triumphed in all seven top-flight meetings versus Wolves, keeping a clean sheet in the past six.

      1. Bruce Lee

            Not true, they did the double over us (West Ham) 🙂

            1. JIMMY TUGGINS
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 10 months ago

      • 8 Years

      Why's Janmaat not playing? Brought him in cos he has decent stats and low owned. He's played every game since GW24

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Kiko.

      2. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Kiko & Janmatt play in tag team fashion every game.
        Don't worry.
        You'll get point

      3. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Cathcart is the only one who seems nailed in that defense

    21. Ohh1454
      • 8 Years

      Need TC Jota to produce ....

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I followed you. Only captain though.

        1. Ohh1454
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          It was between him son aguero and sterling so hopefully it can pay off

      2. Bruce Lee
        • 7 Years

        Good luck mate - TC Raul here

        1. Ohh1454
          • 8 Years

          Thanks both could do very well

      4. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        TC Jimenez here. Was torn between the two, then got convinced by Raul's superior stats, assist potential and lower injury risk

        Still, I know Jota is the more explosive of the two. Own both. Wishing both of us luck! 🙂

    22. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      Only casuals have Jiménez (c) so not too worried....

      1. Fitzy.

        Oi!

      2. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I captained Jimenez rather than Jiménez

      3. Reedy
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        This is true. I captained Jimenez, and I also forgot to activate my wildcard after taking a 44pt hit.

        1. Reedy
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          It's actually the eleventh time I've done that this season (oops)!

          1. Numb
            • 11 Years

      Cathcart, Masina and Foster.

      Huddersfield better stay away from that goal.

        1-0 Watford with Masina swinging it in for a Cathcart header. Tinkerman shoots up the rankings. Now log off and you can pretend I was BBC Sport.

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years

        Not that bad, many are full of brighton defenders

        Didn’t you spend most of the season asking if you should BB?

    27. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      which one ?
      A) eriksen + vardy --> salah + rashford -4
      B) eriksen to mane for free
      C) vardy to firmino for free

      1. tucaoneo
        • 7 Years

        Vardy has to go first right? No one is really keeping faith in that top-six-killer stuff.

        1. Emiliano Sala
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          can bench vardy this week and get rashford next gw

      Knowing this site, if at the start of the season this amount of people said they were gonna triple captain wolves players they would've probably been banned

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 7 Years

        In reply to above - good shout on Laca - hopefully he plays... I had him on WC but took him out due to potential rotation + away form

        I have Raul TC

        1. Random Name
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          good luck lad.

          it was a toss up between Laca and Raul for me too - but Arsenal vs Wolves come up against eachother ofc and the bias in me when Laca.

        Remember when Fulham were the goat promotion team ever?

        I knew that ship would crumble early

        No but you would be banned if you laughed at them

        Clearly you've never looked into Lukaku then...

        Salah had a -11/12 once.

        Sterling got booked to take the honour 😀

        Salah has had less after scoring
