Saiss benched for Wolves as Veltman absent from Brighton squad

Romain Saïss (£4.9m) is the biggest Fantasy casualty from Sunday’s early kick-off between Wolves and Brighton.

The 6.5%-owned defender is one of five players to drop out of Nuno’s starting XI in Triple Gameweek 35.

Nelson Semedo (£5.2m), Leander Dendoncker (£4.6m), Owen Otasowie (£4.5m) and Adama Traoré (£6.0m) are the other players to find themselves benched after Wolves’ 1-1 draw at West Brom in Gameweek 34.

Ki-Jana Hoever (£4.4m) and Max Kilman (£3.9m) are the beneficiaries in defence, where the pair look set to play in a back four.

Joao Moutinho (£5.1m) returns in midfield after being sidelined for two games. Daniel Podence (£5.3m) and Morgan Gibbs-White (£4.9m) start in attacking midfield alongside Vitinha (£4.7m), with that trio operating behind Fabio Silva (£5.2m).

For the Seagulls, Joel Veltman (£4.4m) is absent from the matchday so squad so Alireza Jahanbakhsh (£5.4m) is drafted in by Graham Potter.

The attacking midfielder could be set to line out at right wing-back, though the shapeshifting Brighton boss may have some other tricks up his sleeve.

Adam Lallana (£6.2m) remains in the treatment room for Brighton, who beat Leeds 2-0 at home in their previous Premier League outing.

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI (4-2-3-1): Patricio; Ait-Nouri, Kilman, Coady, Hoever; Neves, Moutinho; Podence, Vitinha, Gibbs-White; F Silva.

Brighton & Hove Albion XI (3-4-3): Sanchez; White, Dunk, Webster; Burn, Bissouma, Gross, Jahanbakhsh; Trossard, Maupay; Welbeck.

    Nacho to Bamford worth a -4 to get 11 players?

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years

      yay

    3. Eh, just one more thing ...

    Chances of Saiss making an appearance? With Veltman as my first sub, I now get a huge one point from Dias if Saiss is a complete no show.

      Low

      2 years, 11 months ago

      Even if saiss makes an appearance he will get 1 point only

    Have Wolves decided to play 4 at the back because that is what they expected Brighton to do? And Brighton have decided to play 3 at the back because that is what they expected Wolves to do?

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No, they just decided to f**k my FPL team in particular.

    2. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No. Brighton always play 5 at the back.

  4. Well you know, Triffic
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Antonio or Bamford if I already have Lingard? Cheers

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Both excellent but Antonio looks most hungry.

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        He is a big lad after all.

  5. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Better option?

    A) Antonio (bha, wba, SOU)
    B) Bamford (bur, sou, WBA)

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Antonio then Bamford the week after

    2. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Both

      Kane Bamford Antonio

      1. Reece’s Pieces
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Kane, Bamff and Toni will be forward line for the rest of the season

    2FT,

    Last night did Castagne > Dallas for the good fixtures.

    Who would you use the other on?

    Nacho > Antonio, Bamford, Wilson
    Veltman, Rudiger > Coufal

    Martinez
    Trent, Dallas, #Veltman,
    Son, Salah, Jota, Lingz,
    #Nacho, Kane, Watkins,

    Button, Rüdiger, Shaw, Bruno,

    1. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years

      Down the garden centre ...

    2. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He was my only bench cover for next week...

    3. LegendMoon
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      In talks with Barcelona

  8. el polako
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Any leaked United lineups floating around ?

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Fabianski in goal apparently

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        - dad's joke alert.

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Hehe

      2. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Not Pogba?

  9. Eh, just one more thing ...
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Do we think Zaha will start the second game after feasting on all those souls prior to the DDL ... looked full up on broken foolish hearts against Sheff Utd ... and I don’t think he’ll have fully digested that amount of hopes and FF dreams to be fit in time? Think it will be a full week until he eats through everything in his trap?

    1. Hangman Page
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      That reads like you’re high =)

    2. Reece’s Pieces
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Zaha looked so petulant in the highlights. Didn’t even celebrate the second goal. Bitter man

    3. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years

      He is currently picking his teeth and belching.

  10. CONNERS

    Hi all

    For next week, what do you reckon to Fernandes/Jota to Son & Mahrez (-4)?

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I'm considering Bruno & Greenwood to Son & Mahrez

    2. justaguy9
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not sure of mahrez. Could be benched. But yes to son

    3. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Cheers.

      I think Foden and Mahrez are both odds on to start, especially given yesterday's result.

  11. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    McCarthy
    TAA • Digne • Dallas
    Son • Mane • Salah • Lingard • Siggy
    Kane • DCL

    Your thoughts on this FH?
    Forster second keeper obviously.

    Cannot trust Pep, Mane can be KDB though.

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

    Any chance Forster plays v Fulham?

    1. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Always a chance but seems less likely.

  13. Joey Tribbiani
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Hows this for GW36 free hit?
    Pickford (SHU)
    TAA (wba) - Robbo (wba) - Stones (new)
    Salah (wba) - Mahrez (new) - Gundo (new) - Siggy (SHU)
    Kane (WOL) - DCL (SHU) - Bamford (bur) / Antonio (bha)

    1. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      City is a roullette

    2. LegendMoon
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Looks great, have you got playing subs to cover the city boys?

      1. Joey Tribbiani
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        yup

    3. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Think I would go with aa Foden/Mahrez double up instead of getting Gundo.

      Looks good otherwise.

    4. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Needs some more Son.

  14. Reece’s Pieces
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    G36

    Already thinking of Bruno to Bale and Nacho to Antonio

  15. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Is Alioski Harrison and Bam alright for the run in?

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Already own Harrison

  16. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I’m selling Vardy and Nacho for Antonio and Bamford.

    Will only have 10 players so looking at taking out Greenwood also. 10.7 for a mid but I’m being drawn to Raphina? Bale is an option and City mid but hard to know who will play. Will Aguero start after his antics?

  17. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Sold Veltman this week for Lindelof. Wasn't expecting him to miss mind.

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

    Trying to figure out how to maximise this lot for 36.

    Forster Mendy*
    TAA Strujik Shaw* Rudi* Holding*
    Son Salah Lingard JWP Greenwood*
    Kane Richa Nacho*

    A) Shaw to Stones, Nacho to Watkins (-4)

    B) Greenwood to Raphinha, Holding to Dias (-4)

    C) Something else

    D) Roll FT

    1. Croaker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      B

  19. Croaker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Best defender for the rest of the season? Have TAA Dallas and Shaw and have no confidence in Everton keeping clean sheets. Cresswell maybe?

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

      Cresswell a good shout hadn't thought of him myself for my moves for next week

  20. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Bruno + Vardy + Nacho to Antonio + Bamford + Salah for -8
    Yes or No??
    Alternatively have to play Lowton and Coufal.

    1. Croaker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah I think that will leave you net positive

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

      Not sure it's worth a -8. Make it a -4 and play Coufal

  21. tiger

  22. Hazz

    1. Ejaaz11
      • 8 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        Fingers crossed for the low, low chance he's benched twice.

  23. Krapgame
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Note to self: never, ever put Dallas on my bench again!

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Try Dallas AND Dunk

  27. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I enjoy watching Brighton some weeks. They just need a 10-15 goal striker and they would be top half of the table.

    1. Forgetmeknot
      • 5 Years

      I think next season they will do what villa have done this season
