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.

    Wow, have been gone all half and nothing of note, apart from the Deulofeu goal.

    1. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Enough for me this far

  2. JIMMY TUGGINS
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    I just had a horrible thought, Doherty better not go off before 60.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      ban

      1. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I think I'll start drinking if he does.

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Oh god that is the most FPL thing ever. Doherty to come off on 59 and for Duffy to troll.

      1. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I might cry if it happens.

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      doherty off at 61 then dunk goal

  3. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    This has all the makings of a GW for Salah to turn out being the best captaincy pick. DGW's are overrated.

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Fingers crossed... If he goes mental that's my ML put to bed.

    2. Kevin 11
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      perhaps, still lots of time to go and a much higher ceiling to go for just think were a little unlucky of late

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      45 mins in but ok thanks

  4. Lionel Ronaldo

      Planned DGW32 team for weeks (good core/strong form/strong fixtures)-> Shitty score

      Planned WC34 team efficiently (4-5 GW easy fixtures/potential bargains) -> Shitty score
      - Brighton triple DEF fails miserably
      - Deeney picks a red card, requiring a -4
      - Mane does almost better than Salah

      To catch my ML opponent, I go for differentials (Lloris, Salah, KDB, triple Brighton DEF, Deeney) while they go the popular/safe route (Mane, Sterling, City DEF, Deulofeu).
      - Bloody Gazzaniga plays over Lloris
      - I captain KDB, he gets injured
      - Deulofeu overcomes a yellow flag and scores

      Expected BB35 -> Shitty score

      Never once has luck favoured me this season. I hate this game.

      1. DeathoftheParty
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Not long till next year...

      2. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Triple Brighton defence was not really great planning though ?

        1. Lionel Ronaldo
            6 years, 11 months ago

            How else do you want me to be different given the DGW/BGW permutations?

            1. Hotdogs for Tea
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              That’s up to you but any triple defence is ‘all or nothing’ and more likely nothing with Brighton .. if you wanted to be different maybe look at formation, 5 at the back etc ... picking dodgy cheap defenders may pay off but it’s not the greatest of ideas really

          Sounds like you overplanned.

          1. Lionel Ronaldo
              6 years, 11 months ago

              Thank you for this insightful remark.

            • 14 Years

            Planning is pointless, uber casual approach next season......if i even can be bothered, as all the fun has been removed from FPL

          Starting to think Fraser only scores points when I bench him. This is a massive hindrance to Wilson too.

        6. EMBOLOFAN

          cs for everyone!

        7. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Should probably bring in a Liverpool player for the Huddersfield game...

          Any chance Klopp rests players for the Barcelona game?

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Might be okay actually. Huddersfield is on Friday, Barca Wednesday...

            5 days helps. Game won first, I'd imagine.

            Midfield rotation for sure, maybe a full back.

          3. Debauchy
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Yep, tricky

            Midfielders only.

            1. Piggs Boson
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              I'll blame you if the front 3 are benched then 🙂

          5. DeathoftheParty
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            I don't remember him really resting anyone... Salah played pretty much all of last year, loves Firmino, Mane has only missed a few to injury... They can rest when everything is won...

          6. Kevin 11
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            yes but its worth the risk id say, cant see huge a rotation the league is too important

          Of course jimenez turned to shite the day I brought him,why wouldnt he..
