Popular captain Jimenez starts in strong Wolves side

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.

  9. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Will probably get a Pool defender in next week and have Robbo. Who should go?
    A) Doherty
    B) Kolasinac

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      b because hes a horrible freak

  10. TAT
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Duffy out in a -4 to get Wilson seems like a missive mistake…

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Why ?

      1. TAT
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Deeney…

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Why was it a mistake ?

          1. TAT
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Wouldn't surprise me if Brighton deliver a clean sheet with Duffy max BPS now, and Wilson blank.

      2. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Because cs and other blank.

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Eh ? You don’t get points for half time scores ?

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I took him and Dunk as part of a -8 that also included Wilson.

      BHA cs is guaranteed as I also C Jiminez.

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        took him out*

      2. TAT
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        One of those (D)GWs…

    3. Numb
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Relax it’s only HT

  11. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Will take Jonny and Dunk cleanies from this game, and Jimmy and Jota hauls next games.

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      unless youve captained jimi doubt you want him to do too well

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Of course Son with a better haul 🙂

  12. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Now hold those 5cs second half! Dont mind Jimenez blank

  13. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    People who (c) Duffy last GW are going to be spewing if he keeps a CS today.

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      not really

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      not one bit

  14. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years

    Wolves v Brighton 0-0 ... who would be happy with that ?

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      me tbh

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      NOPE. -8 which included ridding myself of two brighton defenders, Jimi C.

      1. Mweene
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

    3. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      honestly would take that

    4. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years

    5. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. Even though I've captained Jimi. I have 2 Brighton defenders while my rival has TCd Jimi and benched his Brighton defender.

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Can't see it happening though tbh.

    6. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Let’s do it then 🙂

    7. Samwise

    8. Sterling Malory
      • 8 Years

      Yes it is…

      1. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years

        Exactly

  16. Mysterion

    Kiko BAP magnet...

  17. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Should have played Duffy over KDB

  18. ppv
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone have Antonio?

    1. Mysterion
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not even Antonio...

  19. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    10pts from 11 players, + 2 injuries so far (Lloris and KDB). 🙂

    1. Samwise
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      really?

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Counting Lloris as a player, yep. C Jiminez.

        1. Samwise
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          me too, that will pay off in the second half... 🙂

      2. Samwise
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        will probs be the same as most...

  20. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Brighton are seriously going to get the cs. Jam overload

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Sold both of my defenders from them as part of a -8 and captained the opposing striker. So yeah, nailed on cleanie.

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Kept one (Ryan) and sold one. I'd like a Duffy YC to at least give me a tiny victory.

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      wow its almost as if brighton had a decent chance of a cs over the course of 4 games

  21. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Jimenez C but double Brighton defence, this is awkward.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Be grateful Jota hasn't scored?

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        True, that is going to kill me if it happens

        I went there - would recommend it. Very good links with employers, science based courses, and a campus uni + uni town. Plus the sports facilities are world class.

      Should I be hoping for a Jota goal if I have 2 Brighton defs

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        can you do simple addition?

        1. Mweene
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Also depends on % of ownership as well, so not such simple maths Einstein

      2. MMN
        • 10 Years

        No
