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.

    Great goal

  2. Hooky

    Why didn't Traore start?

    1. Utopsis
      • 4 Years

      Impact sub

  3. nicecat

    Yaaaas, Veltman + Welbeck > Phillips + Benteke (-4) has paid out already

  4. DandyDon

    Rejoice. selling Sanchez to Guaita was the right call!

    1. Sterling Archer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      He was on for a 10 pointer! (sad sanchez owner)

      1. DandyDon

        2 years, 12 months ago

        smart call to play him really, i just got sucked into the double gameweek and a bit lucky. You were very unlucky with the sending off. Still pretty sure Brighton will beat West Ham next week though (and I have Dunk suspended now sigh).

        this makes me even more happy then - justice

    Went Robbo instead of Shaw this gw. Already feels like it will backfire big time !

    1. smix
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Needed a differential pick in all fairness

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Shaw is due an attacking return with his stats

    3. JJO
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Relax Shaw will get RC

    4. nicecat
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I'd pick Robbo over Shaw for the rest of the season.

    So this is the game united go full strength.

    Hope they make the most of it. Going to be early subs.

    1. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      manager commenst suggested they'd go all out for win in this first game and then 'see how it goes'. Surely means B team plays next game and this team comes back in against Pool. Let off for Leicester I reckon.

  7. Utopsis
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    If Wolves score again, Saiss owners will be in tears

    Hi folks, can someone confirm if DDG or Henderson is starting ? BBC is conflicting with the sticky on here?

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Livescore has Hendo

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Thank you

    2. nicecat
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      It's Hendo on ManUtd official twitter.

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years

        Thank you

  9. 03farmboy

    Rashford or Greenwood?

  10. Openboxman
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Greenwood or Shaw for the next 3?

    Whos getting more points?

    1. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      greenwood i fear

    Bwahaha

  12. Hazz

    Gibbs-White absolute SHOCKING miss.

  13. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Villa players hold or move on?

    Depending on today thinking?

    A, Watkins & Iheanacho > Bamford & Antonio

    B, Watkins & Martinez > Antonio & Meslier

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      A. I think there season is petering out now.

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Ta, will give me Antonio, Bamford & Kane

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I'd be more tempted by B.

      Hold Nacho and Watkins is becoming consistent, which is more than Antonio's injury record.

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Cheers if they get spanked today will look at this.
        Had Martinez from wk 3 but recently on decent returns

  14. Hits from the Bong

    Best goalkeeper on a wildcard?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Meslier, Alisson

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years

  15. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Really feel for Dunk owners. 15 pointer turns into 4. Absolutely cruel luck. The luck involved in this game is ridiculous.

    1. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Yes it's 50% luck 50% skill

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        yep agree with that.

    2. dabber7
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      3 pointer now ...

    3. TheDragon
      • 6 Years

      *3

    4. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years

      1+6-3-1 = 3

  18. Steve The Spud

    Really hope slab head (c) starts all 3

    1. TheDragon

      Points > minutes

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        In that case I hope he scores a hatrick as well

    Wolves winner.

    Gibbs-White makes amends.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Right on cue

  22. AC/DC AFC

  23. Hooky

    Get in MGW. Makes up for that terrible miss

  24. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    C0nn0r C0ady.

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      He is on 1 point

  25. Herman Toothrot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    I was initially furious that my rival played Dunk.

    Funny old game.

  26. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Gundogan or Foden for the rest of the season?

    1. fusen
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      There are better midfield options than both of those players, but out of the two then probably Foden who has a chance of hauling where as Gundo just looks to be on 3 points whenever he plays.

    2. b91jh
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Yeah they will both being rested.

  27. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    9 point down swing for Sanchez

    1. MrZ
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      & i played both Sanchez & Dunk

  28. merin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Whos the best defender for 4.5 or less for the 3 last matches?

    1. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Philips or Struijk

      1. merin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Cheers. Already have Dallas, but Phillips might be worth getting in. Trying to free up money to to Iheanacho -> Antonio

  29. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years

    Maupay red

    1. g40steve

    2 years, 12 months ago

    Really struggling to pick a keeper on wildcard. How’s this look?

    Ederson Forster
    TAA Digne Dallas Coufal Mitchell
    Salah Son Bale Lingard Willock
    Kane DCL Antonio
