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.

    Huddersfield up to 14th.
    That's three places behind Wolves.

    1. J T
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      6 places behind United

  2. Ross From Friends

    Jota hattrick incoming!!!

    oh wait.

    NVM!

    1. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I don’t get it

    2. Fred54

      Jota. Legendary GW1 pick.

      Sorry, leg-end of a GW1 pick.

    3. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      That was one of the earliest derailed bandwagons

      1. Ross From Friends
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yea i just realized its not August

  3. TAT

    Ederson
    Robertson - Alonso - Doherty - Vinagre
    Richarlison - Salah* - Hazard
    Arnautovic - Jiménez - Agüero*
    (Hamer - Camarasa - Wan-B - Fraser)

    Vinagre/Salah > Digne/Sterling (-4) looking tempting. Worth it?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      not sure. you wouldn't play digne this wk would you

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        No, that's true. Difficult holding on to Salah, though.

  4. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    At least get one goal Jim/Doh...

  5. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    One very minor consolation for someone - this must be a very good week for the community champion to outscore the Scout picks by a large margin.

  6. Don Kloppeone
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Salah > Mooy (-4) done. Feel relieved

  7. Fantastisk
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    A mod didn't like my salt and Vinegre pun?

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Must have been too original

      1. Fantastisk
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Original flavour would just be ready salted, wouldn't it?

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      What was the joke ?

  8. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Neves has been shocking

    1. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Neves seen him so bad.

  9. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Would love a Doherty goal Jiménez assist

  10. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Unless Gudmundsson goes mad tomorrow night then Mitrovic is my top scorer this GW.

    Sad times, folks. 🙁

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

      Mitrovic got 13 points didn't he? That's still well good.

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Outscoring my captain though.

        Rest of my team, except Robertson, have had shockers this week.

        Oh well, it happens.... 🙁

    2. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A brace usually is top scorer

  11. The Darkest Knight
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    martial to sane...
    yes or yes???

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Defo

  12. CRO KLOPP
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    My mini league rival is having a good week

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Nice wonkery

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        As good as it gets

    2. The Darkest Knight
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      sane on bench....

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Cheeky Sané benching there

    4. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Proof that 8 point hits sometimes work.

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yes,one of his transfer was Hazard to Sane

      2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Of course they sometimes work. -20 sometimes works but that doesn't mean it's a good idea.

        1. Nomar
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I know.

          Just being jealous cos my score is abysmal this week.

  13. Fantastisk
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Hazard to Mooy for a -4?

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Easily.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Only for a hit

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Doo it quickk

  14. Rash
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    River plate vs Boca postponed again.

    1. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      It can't compete with Huddersfield pumping Wolves let's be honest here.

  15. JJO
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    This Jimenez is like Bambi
    He cant stand even without ball

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A lot of Raul'ing on the floor.

  16. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Mark transferred out Hennessey for Patricio... ouch

    1. Rash
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Isn't that 3 different goalkeepers in 3 game weeks?

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        He is becoming cockey?

  17. Styles_X
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

  18. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

  19. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Aroooonnn Moooooyyy. You are my hero!!!

  20. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    This has been a terrible GW need to get those city mids asap

  21. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Mooy bandwagon?

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Thought it was Howard Webb, no?

  22. BeDreamin
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    So my squad is:

    Fab, 4m

    Robertson, Alonso, Laporte, TAA, AWB

    Hazard Sterling Mane Richarlson 4.3m

    Wilson Ageuro Arnie

    Any transfers to make or save?

  23. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I am thinking on going to triple City like this and also punting on Kane from GW15:

    I held 2 FTs now

    GW14:
    Patricio ➡ Ederson
    Martial ➡ Sane

    and then:

    GW15:
    Hazard ➡ D.Silva
    Aguero ➡ Kane
    (-4)

    thoughts..?

  24. Football Heaven
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone else with their worst performance of the season?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Not quite but not far off. Looking like 41 all out

    2. BDMC5
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Ya same here — some of my rivals gained 35 points on me this week which I didn’t see happening in worst case scenario

    3. TAT
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yep. Just started to pick up some points, now it's 100k + rank drop again.

    4. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yep.

      Unless Gudmondsson gets something out of tomorrow night then this probably will be my worst score. GW4 says hello.

    5. Mika-eel
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yip. On 33 with just Kenedy remaining.

  25. ClassiX
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Jiminez header missed going over goal line by 1.8cm...

  26. The Special Wan
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    What a horrible game week, is 34 points safe for LMS?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Borderline.

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      may just squeak in, depending on MNF game and the player ownership from it

  27. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Nobody knows where my Jonny has gone
    But my cleanies left the same time
    Why was he injured this time
    When he's supposed to be a gold mine …

  28. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Patricio has been the worse transfer ever. He's got me 1, 2, 2, 2 and 2.

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I got him in for Pickford.

      Just as Everton started getting cleanies and Pickford remembered he could save penalties.

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Same awfull

  29. Football Heaven
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Would you rather have Salah or hazard?

  30. the snazzy viking
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    is there anything I can post that won't be deemed as offensive ? was just using a mild euphemism

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Try it. And if banned tweet it. We'll know. Thank you man

    2. the snazzy viking
