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.

  4. El Presidente

    Made some horrible decisions this season but going without Wolves defence in my GW31 WC was definitely not one of them....

    1. Better off with a pin and a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Patricio to Guaita this week for -4 one of my better transfers.

  5. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Dreamland yesterday with Dallas on BB.
    Back to reality today with Veltman beside him

  6. Ruinenlust
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Who else sold Dunk, Azpi, Dallas, Son and Bamford?

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Dunk 3rd on my bench

      1. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        First on mine, just ahead of Wilson...

  7. The Mighty Hippo
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Which option would you go for?

    A) Greenwood to JWP
    B) Bruno to Son

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Too early to ask

  8. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Need Shaw injured/rested for next 3 games and Holding for next 2 to get Dunk points. High chance right?

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

      Or Shaw to Score more maby?

  9. Steve The Spud

    Damned if you do damned if you don’t, playing a double gw player looks like playing the odds on paper but it only takes someone like dunk on your bench to get his head on one and he’s looking at a potential 12-15 pointer

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Double gameweeks always disappoint 🙁

  10. Kellz86
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    If Saiss stays benched I get Dallas off my bench - definition of jammy lol

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      With Wolves losing surely they will be bringing on attacking subs

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Traore, Willian Jose and maybe Semedo/Dendocker

        Very low chance of Saiss making an appearance

  11. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Dunk nearly had his second goal there 😐

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wolves shockingly poor on defending corners

  12. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Best option out of these for the last 3 gameweeks?

    A) Son & Mahrez
    B) Son & Antonio/Bamford
    B) Kane & Raphinha

    1. istanbul05
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I like A if chasing, but B is probably most sensible.

  13. Life_Ban

    4 years, 7 months ago

    All this money fantasy football scout takes from me and I still don't see any article about best teams for BGW36

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      You are not even a member

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Just look at fixtures, it's not that tough to find out "best" teams anyway...

          1. Life_Ban
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            That's my take of it, would like the professionals to confirm

      2. fusen
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        He's getting exactly what he's paying for then

      3. Life_Ban
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Pls don't judge me

        Time is money

          Judgy Fudgy

  14. The Mighty Hippo

    4 years, 7 months ago

    I really enjoy watching Brighton, it would be great to see them kick on a bit next season.

  15. drughi
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Wolves are terrible, kan an son will run riot next week

  16. Sterling Archer
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Watching the Brighton game solely because I have sanchez in goal but Brighton look decent, bit scared to shoot at times!

  17. @ocprodigy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Actually pretty upsetting knowing I need Semedo to stay on the bench for Dunk to come on, after going back and forth with those two all week

  18. Chief Break-Everything
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Gotta love FPL for making the mundane, spectacular.

    The absolute unbridled joy of logging on to FFS to discover a Brighton defender is NOT playing. What a rush!

    (Not bonkers - Dallas off the bench)

  19. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4 years, 7 months ago

    Worst team for fpl this year is wolves, trapped many of us on gw3 wildcard and went on a rancid run, players never haul, always concede when you expect them to keep a CS

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Clearly still SHU.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Although dirt cheap fodder in Burke & Brewster...

      2. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        No because at least you have zero expectations and no they won’t get points, wolves actually lure you in to getting 1 and then stink your team out

        1. ivantys
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I remember Palace defence that loved conceding last minute goals

      3. FPL Theorist
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        A team that you aren't even tempted to invest in can't be the worst.

      4. fusen
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        But no one trusts SHU anymore, where as there was still some trust in Wolves on the last post gw30 wildcard.

        I'd agree that Wolves are the worst FPL team in overall terms, mainly the disappointment.

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          There shouldn't have been for Wolves. They were extremely lucky to keep CS against SHU/FUL (yes, extremely lucky) & was no surprise they'd leak goals.

  20. Henning
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Fernandes to Son or Greenwood to Raphinha?

  21. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Always felt awkward about selling Dunk but did it anyway.

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

      Same. I sold for Trent which I think is right move for the remaining games.

  22. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    My rival has Dallas and Dunk second and third on his bench respectively. None of his first eleven have failed to play yet and he has Shaw, Digne, Bruno, DCL and Watkins to go. He’s not getting either of them is he?

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Your rival sounds like me

  23. Gudjohnsen
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Dunk has been a strange player for me.

    I have benched all of his hauls but started his 2 and 1 points.

    Have you had a similiar player in your team this season?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, his name is Lewis Dunk.
      Also Stuart Dallas.

  24. Revival

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Dallas, Dunk, Lingard and Areola is my bench!! This could get ugly!! Haha

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah Dunk, Pope, Lingard and Coufal here

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Ah going to be some big scores on our bench mate!!! It’s a shame with the BB you can’t activate at the end of the week !! Or have 2 bench boosts per season!! Haha

  26. Warby84
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone else taking a punt on Mahrez next week?

    1. Guru Mediation

    2. Warby84
