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.

      Ryan is outscoring Kun, Aguero & KDB combined this week (so far)

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        *Kun, STERLING, KDB

      Sold Vardy instead of Lukaku. Took a hit for Duffy to Masina. Brought Sterling in over Mane. Only good thing is I didn't TC Jimenez.

      Ahh well, as long as the Blades go up then I'm buzzing. Hopefully still top 50k

        I mean, I told you to sell Lukaku, assume plenty of others did as well.

          • 5 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          He's still got to play I guess and could be worse than 9 points. Ahhh well, only a game 🙂 losing care now haha. So unpredictable

      19 bench boost points so far...with 4 games left for them. Happy with that part of it, but the first XI need to pull their socks up

    12. Vamos

      52 so far. Overjoyed with that.

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years

          Missing out by 1 BPS, costly wayward shot at the end.

      The Brighton redemption is on.

      1. UnitedFan
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Kept Ryan, sold Duffy for a hit.

        Who knew how refreshing clicking X's at the corner of internet tabs could feel.

        At least it's sunny.

        Meh, Double GW players have a second chance. We go again.
        Vardy points a lovely touch. Cheers, Jamie.

      • jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Duffy out for a hit
        KDB in for a hit
        Rough as a bag of badgers

      • Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Some solid and somewhat unexpected CS points...

        on 42 if Vardy BAPS hold. Son(c) played. Bednarek and Hojbjerg later today.

        Scores on the doors right now?

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

          35 also Son (C), took a hit to get KDB in just before the deadline so that hurt, also Valery and Lloris being annoying. All my points coming from CS's thus far although Foster just gave me a nice -4 in that department.

        Yet more proof as to why planning and research is pointless for FPl 🙂

      • Brosstan
        • 9 Years

        Can't wait to see that shite club Brighton relegated

      • Coys96
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        What a disaster. Went Barnes + Vardy > Jota + Jimenez. Captained Jimenez. Femenia + Foster, conceded last minute. Was gonna have Deulofeu but chose Jota. Extremely annoying.

        Now that I've seen Gunn starting, I guess I can be happy about not going Foster.
