Wolves take on Huddersfield Town in the second of two Premier League matches to be contested on Sunday afternoon, with kick-off at Molineux at 16:00 GMT.

The hosts will be carrying the hopes of a significant number of Fantasy managers today, with Rui Patricio (£4.6m), Ryan Bennett (£4.2m), Matt Doherty (£4.9m), Ruben Neves (£5.0m) and Raul Jimenez (£5.9m) all boasting an ownership of 10% or higher in FPL.

Not one of the Terriers’ starters features in more than 2.2% of Fantasy squads, meanwhile.

Doherty, as expected, has recovered from the facial injury that he sustained at the Emirates a fortnight ago and lines up at right wing-back.

On the opposite flank, the injured Jonny (£4.5m) is replaced by Ruben Vinagre (£4.3m) in what is Nuno Espirito Santo’s only change to his starting XI from Gameweek 12.

David Wagner is without the suspended Zanka (£4.4m) and the injured Chris Lowe (£4.4m), with those two absent defenders being replaced by Tommy Smith (£4.4m) and Erik Durm (£4.4m) respectively as the Town manager rolls out a 3-5-1-1 again.

Only Manchester City have allowed fewer big chances than Wolves this season, while the West Midlands club rank third for fewest shots in the box conceded.

The Terriers have scored fewer goals and created fewer big chances than the other 19 sides in the division.

Only five clubs – all of whom have played a game more – have registered more attempts on goal than Santo’s side in 2018/19.

Doherty has had more shots on target than any FPL defender this season, while only three forwards have registered more attempts on goal than Jimenez.

Huddersfield have shown signs of defensive improvement lately, though, and have conceded the same amount of big chances (nine) that Wolves have in their last six league matches.

Wolves XI (3-4-3): Patricio, Bennett, Coady, Boly, Doherty, Neves, Moutinho, Vinagre, Costa, Cavaleiro, Jimenez.

Huddersfield Town XI (3-5-1-1): Lossl, Schindler, Kongolo, Smith, Durm, Mooy, Hogg, Billing, Hadergjonaj, Pritchard, Mounie.

    Kenedy to Mooy a no brainer?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      far from it imo

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      No way

    3. Jamb0
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      I would call it a knee-jerk but Kenedy hasnt even played yet.. so maybe a pre-jerk?

      1. Mysterion
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    4. antis0cial

      Mooys only return this season and he's played virtually 90 every game

  2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Ederson looks the best keeper to get long term I guess? Don't trust Patricio anymore..

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Patricio is fine. It's what's in front of him is the problem.

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        True probably, He's a good keeper but don't see too many CS for wolves now

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 13 days ago

          He makes a lot of saves though.

    2. Jamb0
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      True, if you don't mind sacrificing a city slot he seems a decent 'set and forget'

    3. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      I think so

      Have been pondering replacing him but he seems a nice steady option

      8/13 CS
      One week with no CS but an assist
      4 weeks "blank"

      And you only save what 1m maybe 1.2m to play russian roulette with the likes of Ryan, Pat, Fab, Hart

  3. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Out of the fantasy football scout cup.
    That was short and sweet.

  4. Big_Bear
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    I've got Mahrez and Morata and think Ill keep for one more week. Currently on 1 FT so I could ship them both after for Kane and someone cheap.

    Do you think it's a good idea? There fixtures seem really good if they actually played.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Morata is the last player I would want.

      1. Big_Bear
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Unfortunately I agree with you. One more week then he'll 🙁

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      May actually keep with those fixtures tbh

  5. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Is Arnie always going to be yellow flagged and always play?

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Not during 3matches in a week as he needs 3 days just to get swelling off

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Kinda like me and Viagra 🙂

    2. Mysterion
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      He's got the LLL like Kun... life long limp

    3. Jamb0
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Well he's carrying an injury so it's fair to say that he's pretty much always a doubt

  6. Donster
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    A: Martial, Vardy > Sterling, Success

    B: Vardy, Kayal > success, Dsilva(Sane)

    Patricio
    Robertson, Laporte, Alonso
    Martial, Hazard,Mane,Fraser
    Vardy, Aguero, Arnie

    Sub: Hammer,Awb, Bennette

  7. Team Bobcat
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Anything worth doing here.

    Fab
    Laporte Alonso Taa AWB
    DSilva Salah Martial Rich
    Aguero Arnie

    Hart kennedy Mitro Digne

    1ft 0itb

    Basicall is it worth swapping DSilva for Sane. Fools gold perhaps??

    It would be at a (-4)

    DSilva Laporte > Sane Delph

    1. Team Bobcat
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Other option is to down grade martial but i just got him. Must give guys a chance, ya

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Girls?! Might as well put Others too

  8. I Love Lamp

    Thoughts on Bench boost next week for this team?

    Patrício
    Robbo VVD Pereira
    Hazard Sterling Mane Kenedy
    Arguero Arnie Jimenez

    Foster Diangana AWB Bennett

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      wait for DGW

    2. Jamb0
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Next week is not a double gameweek, so no.

    3. Effe
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      I’d do it if that’s your gut feel. I benched 24 points this week. Last season I bench boosted in a DGW and only got 12 from it.

  9. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Just thinking about GW15 onward, if you can't get kane who would get between Eriksen and Alli

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Alli easily fplwise

    2. Jamb0
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Alli

    3. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Alli I think as Eriksen will lose some set pieces to Trippier when he's back which decreases his appeal a little but it's a tough call. Not interested in Son ?

  10. Swanremainsthesame
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Thinking of hitting the wild Card as fed up with single digits from Salah & Aguero, plus several punts clogging the works.
    105.1 Tv tempted by

    Allison,4.0
    Alonso,TAA, Laporte,Doherty,WanB
    Haz,Sterling,Sane,Alli,Anderson
    Arnie,Jimenez,Wilson
    0.0itb

    One reason I dont have a bench fodder up front is rotation on Sterling/Sane & couldn't find where to spend the extra if I did.
    ? any obvious bloopers -

    1. Jamb0
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Looks like a lot of headaches on who to start each week and I would worry that it would be very tricky to get in Kane / Aguero if you ever would want them. my 2c.

    2. Effe
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      I think your squad looks okay. I’d maybe hold off wildcarding.

    anywhere to find english subtitle for movie ''Make us dream'' ? (Stevie G movie)

    A. Alonso and Fraser to Sane and Duffy

    B. Hazard and Fraser to Sane and D.Silva
