Wolves rotate as Rashford starts for Man United

Nuno Espirito Santo has already begun the rotation process ahead of Wolves’ FA Cup semi-final next weekend.

Raúl Jiménez (£6.8m) and Matt Doherty (£5.4m) were both named on the bench for the Double Gameweek 32 trip to Burnley.

Diogo Jota (£6.1m) keeps his place leading the Wolves line, while Joao Moutinho (£5.3m) starts in midfield.

Elsewhere, there was good news for those with Marcus Rashford (£7.6m) in their squads as he was confirmed as starting against Watford.

The England international has been deployed up front alongside Anthony Martial (£7.2m).

Romelu Lukaku (£10.8m) and Jesse Lingard (£6.7m) were named among the substitutes although there was no place in the match squad for Victor Lindelof (£5.1m) after his wife gave birth earlier this week.

It’s Phil Jones (£5.1m) who is paired with Chris Smalling (£5.6m) at centre-back for Manchester United.

Meanwhile, opponents Watford have rested some players but have made fewer changes to their attack than Wolves as they prepare for the FA Cup semi-finals.

Troy Deeney (£5.9m) and Gerard Deulofeu (£5.7m) start up front of the first-choice four-man midfield.

Intriguingly, it’s in defence where the Hornets have made a change, with Craig Cathcart (£4.5m) on the bench, allowing Miguel Britos (£4.3m) to start.

Daryl Janmaat (£4.9m), Christian Kabasele (£4.4m) and Adam Masina (£4.3m) keep their places in the side after starting against Manchester City in Gameweek 30.

There was good news for those invested in Crystal Palace assets as Vicente Guaita (£4.2m), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.5m), Jeffrey Schlupp (£4.5m), Luka Milivojevic (£6.3m) and Wilfried Zaha (£6.9m) all start.

There was some rotation for Brighton ahead of their involvement in the FA Cup semi-finals as Martín Montoya (£4.3m) and Bernardo (£4.2m) come in at full-back.

Chris Hughton has gone for a front-three of Anthony Knockaert (£5.2m) and Alireza Jahanbakhsh (£6.7m) either side of Glenn Murray (£6.3m).

Burnley keep faith in their front two of Ashley Barnes (£5.7m) and Chris Wood (£6.2m) while Jeff Hendrick (£5.2m) reclaims his starting berth on the right flank from Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.5m), who drops to the bench.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Bernardo, Duffy, Dunk, Montoya; Bissouma, Stephens, Pröpper; Knockaert, Murray, Jahanbakhsh.

      Nope.

      Rash should drop to 1.

      Palace likely to stay the same.

    My fh is still doing better but when my original team has pereira, AWB, Guaita, vardy it makes my fh seem like a waste. Still 11+ to go tho...

    Is Kun likely to be rested / injured the second game now?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Risk always there but its increased now. No point worrying about it though.

    Anyone lesbian get burned my milivojevic all the time? He’s very good at pens and Zaha wins a lot but that’s all he offers.

    1. Football Heaven
      • 7 Years

      Really sorry lads meant to say “else”. Don’t know why it autocorrected. Sorry

      My lesbian got screwed 🙁

  9. Brosstan

    Mili was always an obvious pick. Better than B. Silva on paper

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      😛

    2. theodosios
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Yup, now when he scored from penalty, he was obvious pick

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        Look at his price and points prior to this game mate. Fixture proof too.

    3. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Solid I thought.

      AZ was assuming a Zaha no show but his "boring" rant was still off the mark.

    4. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 28 days ago

      Give it a rest

  10. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years

    Brought in Doucoure for Milivojevic so I could upgrade Lindelof to smalling. bit off a rough and a smooth

  11. R.C
    • 6 Years

    15 points on the bench....

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      With TAA and Camarasa to go.....

    Where the heavens is Anderson?
