Saiss benched for Wolves as Veltman absent from Brighton squad

Romain Saïss (£4.9m) is the biggest Fantasy casualty from Sunday’s early kick-off between Wolves and Brighton.

The 6.5%-owned defender is one of five players to drop out of Nuno’s starting XI in Triple Gameweek 35.

Nelson Semedo (£5.2m), Leander Dendoncker (£4.6m), Owen Otasowie (£4.5m) and Adama Traoré (£6.0m) are the other players to find themselves benched after Wolves’ 1-1 draw at West Brom in Gameweek 34.

Ki-Jana Hoever (£4.4m) and Max Kilman (£3.9m) are the beneficiaries in defence, where the pair look set to play in a back four.

Joao Moutinho (£5.1m) returns in midfield after being sidelined for two games. Daniel Podence (£5.3m) and Morgan Gibbs-White (£4.9m) start in attacking midfield alongside Vitinha (£4.7m), with that trio operating behind Fabio Silva (£5.2m).

For the Seagulls, Joel Veltman (£4.4m) is absent from the matchday so squad so Alireza Jahanbakhsh (£5.4m) is drafted in by Graham Potter.

The attacking midfielder could be set to line out at right wing-back, though the shapeshifting Brighton boss may have some other tricks up his sleeve.

Adam Lallana (£6.2m) remains in the treatment room for Brighton, who beat Leeds 2-0 at home in their previous Premier League outing.

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI (4-2-3-1): Patricio; Ait-Nouri, Kilman, Coady, Hoever; Neves, Moutinho; Podence, Vitinha, Gibbs-White; F Silva.

Brighton & Hove Albion XI (3-4-3): Sanchez; White, Dunk, Webster; Burn, Bissouma, Gross, Jahanbakhsh; Trossard, Maupay; Welbeck.

    Maupay was sent off right at the end too. Clever guy, that one.

      How many point for Coady?

    I feel for Dunk owners there, so cruel!

      Dunk & Sanchez starter here

    3. Hazz

      In fairness this result is fully on Dunk. Not really unlucky.

      1. teddypicker

        Agreed, stupid from Dunk

      2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I know, just the elation of a goal to red card and conceding 2

  6. Chandler Bing

    Does that count as a red in FPL? Given after FT

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah it should. Bruno once scored after FT

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Hahaha

      2. Magic Zico

        😆

      Yeah will do

      Interesting

    I’d love to get people’s thoughts on Rashford.l following a debate I had with a mate recently. Rashford is only 23 now. How good can he get ? What’s his ceiling? Do you think he has almost hit his peak already?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I wouldn’t say he has peaked but athletically he probably won’t improve any more, needs to work on his end product and finishing to become a top player

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Still plenty of time for that though. I think if he can stay injury free by the time he is 27/28 he could be winning golden boot.

        1. Steve The Spud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          That is a huge If for someone who’s already had injury issues

          If you get injuries and lose your pace like Kane then you need to be a fantastic finisher which he isn’t yet

    2. The Final Boss
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He is good, but I doubt his decision making sometimes. May be he will mature.

    3. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I guess he stays fit and be a professional he can be like Lingard - not quite but can go close

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Get out 😆

    4. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      We'll know after his career when he peaked. Possibly he can still improve

    5. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He's English, so probably already peaked...

    6. MrZ
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Need to get out of MU to improve.
      Out of his comfort zone

  8. Pep Roulette

    Please score at least one goal Bruno!

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Hahah what on earth, how has the Mauppet been sent off after FT?

  10. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years

    Maupay triple captainers furious

  11. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Should have captained Gibbs-White.

  12. The Final Boss
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Az will be fuming on coming week's blackbox.

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He'll probably define it as the most Brightonesque performance ever

  13. The Final Boss
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Bruno tc ers unite..

    1. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      2+2+2 hopefully

  14. FPL Theorist
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Martinez pen save needed

  15. Eze Really?

    It looks like the real losers in the ManU fixture pile up are Liverpool. Strong side today; throw away the game to Leicester. Play strong against Pool on Thursday. Pool end up in Europa league (smile)

    Have to hope for a blank for my captain because two of my closest ML rivals have TC'ed him.

    1. Rassi
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bruno ofc

    Brilliant goal.

    Makes it more interesting.
