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.

    Nothing worse in fpl than getting your hopes up for a CS before it inevitably gets wiped late on. Sure to happen here

    TC Sterling: 2.
    BB Ryan, Jonny & Chilwell: 17.

    I'm getting serious karma for all the non-wildcarder bragging.

    1. DR0GBA
      • 7 Years

      jeez that's unlucky.

      glad I used my TC on Sterling in the first DGW!

      1. Eytexi
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        It hurts. Still time for Sterling to come good thankfully.

        1. DR0GBA
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          for you I really hope Sterling doesn't get benched in the next game

          he's played 90 in the previous 3 or so matches which made me go for Son instead, but good luck!

          1. Eytexi
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            I can only pray. Cheers, good luck!

    Will be difficult to sell Vardy next week, even to fund Salah in....

    Only other easy downgrade for it looks to be Aguero.
