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.

    Helder costa looked such a promising player in the championship. Dissapointment of the season.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years

    Albrighton clinches CS - a kind of Brighton CS.

    89th minute. That is when all hell will break loose.

    Remember, Jimenez's floor was two goals and an assist over the two games apparently.

    1. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years

      Said who?

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Someone on here yesterday, might've been a goal and assist, can't remember.

    2. Brosstan

      Remember, I got a ban for claiming that statement was deluded.

    So good that I sold my Brighton defenders for a hit. Oh wait.

    Why did I keep Wilson v Fulham!? This has been a shocker of a DGW so far. Absolute yawnfest.
