Richarlison fit to start but Fraser drops to the bench

Following West Ham United’s 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the early kick-off, four more Premier League matches get underway at 15:00 BST.

Crystal Palace host Everton, Fulham entertain Cardiff City, Southampton take on Bournemouth, and Watford play Wolverhampton Wanderers in a rematch of their FA Cup semi-final.

Richarlison is fit to start at Selhurst Park, despite being described as a “major doubt” by his manager on Friday.

Lucas Digne has recovered from his own minor injury as Marco Silva names the same starting XI that beat Manchester United last Sunday.

Patrick van Aanholt returns at the expense of Joel Ward in Roy Hodgson’s only change.

Despite slight concerns for owners of Wolves assets over possible rotation, Nuno Espirito Santo keeps faith with the same 11 players that beat Arsenal in midweek.

Javi Gracia has made three changes to his defence, however, with Adrian Mariappa, Kiko Femenia and Jose Holebas replacing Christian Kabasele, Daryl Janmaat and Adam Masina.

Ralph Hasenhuttl looks to have changed shape this afternoon and has reverted to a back four.

Danny Ings and Yan Valery come in for Stuart Armstrong and the ill Maya Yoshida but Shane Long and Ryan Bertrand are fit to start.

Scott Parker and Neil Warnock have made one change apiece for their meeting at Craven Cottage this afternoon.

Tom Cairney returns at the expense of Jean Michael Seri for the Cottagers, while Leandro Bacuna replaces the injured Joe Ralls for Cardiff.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, van Aanholt, Dann, Kelly, Wan-Bissaka, Meyer, Kouyate, McArthur, Milivojevic, Benteke, Zaha.

Subs: Ward, Townsend, Hennessey, Ayew, Batshuayi, Sako, Riedewald.

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Zouma, Digne, Gueye, Schneiderlin, Bernard, Sigurdsson, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

Subs: Jagielka, Walcott, Tosun, McCarthy, Stekelenburg, Lookman, Baines.

Fulham XI: Rico, Odoi, Ream, Le Marchand, Bryan, Anguissa, Chambers, Babel, Cairney, Sessegnon, Mitrovic.

Subs: Kebano, Ayite, Christie, Seri, Mawson, Ramirez, Elliott.

Cardiff City XI: Etheridge, Peltier, Morrison, Manga, Bennett, Bacuna, Gunnarsson, Mendez-Laing, Camarasa, Hoilett, Niasse.

Subs: Richards, Ward, Reid, Cunningham, Harris, Brian Murphy, Healey.

Southampton XI: Gunn, Valery, Bednarek, Stephens, Bertrand, Hojbjerg, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Redmond, Ings, Long.

Subs: Austin, Armstrong, Lemina, Targett, Sims, Forster, Ramsay.

Bournemouth XI: Boruc, Aké, Cook, Simpson, Clyne, Gosling, Mepham, Lerma, Brooks, King, Wilson.

Subs: Mousset, Ibe, Hyndman, Fraser, Begovic, Solanke, Surridge.

Watford XI: Foster, Femenia, Cathcart, Mariappa, Holebas, Hughes, Doucoure, Capoue, Pereyra, Gray, Deulofeu.

Subs: Gomes, Janmaat, Success, Masina, Sema, Chalobah, Kabasele.

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Patricio, Bennett, Coady, Boly, Doherty, Dendoncker, Moutinho, Neves, Jonny, Jimenez, Jota.

Subs: Ruddy, Cavaleiro, Costa, Gibbs-White, Saiss, Vinagre, Traore.

    Wilson been huge differential for me in last two away games since everyone else played wildcard. Only kept him for Fulham home game inbetween! (2pts). Oh he’s just missed a one on one as well. Wow

      Cool story

    2. S.Kuqi

      Same here. 33 points in last 3 gws 🙂

    First time I've had Wilson since his endless run of 2-pointers last season.

    You are finally forgiven, Callum.

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah, he's been a nice late add, even if Vardy did make me regret selling him recently.

    2. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Think it's the first time ever he has given me points.

  3. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Of course, the minute I sell Diop (for Yedlin), he pops up with 9 points. Can't even be mad at this point, it's too funny.

    Predicted a Wilson haul - 96pts now! I’m gonna brag all I want cause these weeks rarely come around

    I really need Aguero or Laporte not to play

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

    Anyone who watched the Palace game? How did Zaha look?

    1. Tasty Jerk
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Was a quiet game for him. Boring game overall.

  12. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Jot clipped. Looked like a pen.

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Stonewall

    2. 4-4-who?
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Disgusting. Bring on VAR.

    3. 4-4-who?
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Look at Watford's penalty in the FA cup semi - minimal contact

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

    Ouch. Rank boost from yesterday wiped out, dropping like a stone now with only Jimenez and Doherty today...

  14. tm245
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    AWB!

  15. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Wan BAPs!

  16. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    That should be a pen

  17. Samwise
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Bet on Wolves to finish above West Ham at the start of the season... bet won 🙂

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

      shame it was with a friend and not the bookies... anyone know what the odds would have been? or how to find out?

  18. The Ejiptian King
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    3 BAPS for AWB, standard.

  19. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Deulofeu...

    "There is no assist for the Gray goal. Deulofeu loses possession from Patricio’s tackle, before the ball goes to Gray who scores. Deulofeu was not attempting a shot or pass, so no assist is awarded"

    1. FlockofSeagulls
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Correct decision. Thought exactly the same thing watching it live.

  20. drughi
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    clear penalty for wolves, referee needs to do something else as a occupation

  21. Unfathomable Ruination
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    "YOUR WINGERS DON'T LIKE HIM ..."

    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    26 points on bench GW34
    14 GW35

    Boosted in GW35 ofc

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I saw your team, how did you not have a GWR or OR in GW2?

      1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Deleted team cos didn’t want to play

        Reactivated before GW3 as friends begged me to play

        1. Emiliano Sala
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          didn't know we can still delete our teams on fpl

          1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Yep you can. They don’t make it obvious .cos people would quit all the time

  23. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    No TC, but did finally get rid of my Bench Boost - on 78 as of right now (though Everton are making me nervous about Guaita and Obi-Wan) before BAPs with Haz, Pogba, Rondon, Yedlin and Sterling still to go. Decent haul, looks like, although it appears this week has inflated all our scores.

  24. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    If I'd played Wilson instead of Son I'd have hit 100. Might still with Ryan, Laporte and Sterling. However if Sterling was to miss the game I wouldn't be too upset

  25. Samwise
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    who's broken 100?

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

      not even close here

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

        me neither on 65... my rival has 95, with auger, laporte and sterling still to play...
        I just have sterling © aguero and ryan

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 8 Years
