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.

    Fellas: Long term

    A- Eriksen, Trippier

    B- Alli, Trippier

    1. mir

      Eriksen for me

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER

      So using the theories of Cambridge maths tripos does that simplify to Eriksen vs Alli?

      Torres Magic this is a Brexit moment:

      We both can clearly see this was a rediculous GW.

      Let's exclude it from the Last Man Standing as an Anomaly (these things happen from time to time).

      I know your score is low too so you should be motivated to tweak matters...

      When I die, I want the Wolves defence to lower me into my grave, so they can let me down one last time.

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years

        Not sure they could even manage that.

    4. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Might play Camarasa ahead of Doherty next week.

      1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I'm planning on playing him over Bennett

    5. Jon Snow
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Spurs have tasty fixtures but surely they'll be resting and rotating their best because of Champions League. Who's everyone bringing in?

      1. FDMS All Starz
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I think that applies to all top teams as they have cover for each position so everyone will be on the same boat...worth the risk

    6. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      can't believe one man in the comments there used such a derogatory term , unacceptable that he was able to speak out about how his gameweek was going in that manner

      anyone that voices your opinion, i'm watching

    7. BigBillyBass
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Such a shrewd move whoever bought in Doherty and Jimenez this weekend

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        😀

      2. Team Bobcat
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Both moves looked sound to be fair. A lot disgruntled after the week

      3. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I am wise, wise I tell thee.

    8. Andy Mac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Anyway, transfer time....would you do:

      Robertson > Digne
      Mane > Sterling

      Would give this team:
      Fab
      Alonso - TAA - Digne - Doherty
      Hazard - Sterling - Martial - Dilva - Richarlison
      Aguero - Arnie - Jiminez

      1. JasonG123
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        You've got 8 good attacking players. Personally I would downgrade one of them instead of downgrading Robertson so that I could upgrade to Sterling (e.g. Richarlison down and Mane up).

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

          Cheers Jasong. I was looking at that but as have double pool with TAA as well, thought Robbo may be the best option as generally gonna play 3-5-2 or 3-4-3

          1. JasonG123
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            I think double Pool is fine for now. I brought in TAA this week and have owned Robbo since GW1.

    9. JasonG123
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Which move?
      (A) Richarlison to Sane
      (B) Hold FT, look to get Spurs assets with 2FT next week.

    10. BenDavies
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Just done Mane and Shaqiri to Anderson and Sterling for a -4.

      Arguably the easiest transfer of my life. Thought about it, did it.

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        This is like the time I did Mendy > Digne.

      2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        What if Sterling kicks the turf even harder this week?

    11. Styles_X
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      in the FFS Cup the hits are counted in the final score right?

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Of course.

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        yes

    12. Releasebreaks
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Sane or DSilva ??????????

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Sane

      2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Sane

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

        Sane + Dilva
        Sane if only 1 to get

      4. Team Bobcat
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        This is a toughie. I think DSilva edges it for noe considering the busy schedule especially now that BSilva is injured. Should the latter return then Sane marginally wins. Guess work all the same

    13. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Thinking of WC this week. How does this look as squad to go for?

      Ederson
      TAA Bellerin Doherty Digne AWB
      Hazard Sané Eriksen Brooks Kenedy
      Aguero Kane Jimenez

      1. JasonG123
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Sterling instead of Aguero, allows you to get Arni as well. Why Bellerin?

      2. Pieterke30
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Dont like the Eriksen pick. Get Lacazette instead of Aguero and Sterling instead of Eriksen

      3. Styles_X
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        not sure about bellerin..terrible next 2 fixtures. would prefer sterling over aguero but thats debatable. not sure about the spurs double up as well.

      4. Team Bobcat
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Kolasinac hard to ignore in place of bellerin at a bargain. That is of course if you want an arsenal defender. The spurs gamble is attractive. Could pay off. Hard to fault team

    14. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hudds played well, but they won’t play Wolves every week 🙂

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

        This.

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

      Ryan Stek
      Alonso Robbo Stones Doherty WB
      Salah Hazard Richarlison Martial Stephens
      Aguero Arnie Kamara

      Another rubbish week. Should I Wildcard? Is there any reason to save it?

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I'm not allowed to say my opinion sorry

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

          Hang in there buddy.

      2. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Wait one more week and look to get spurs players in maybe? Plus give hazard another week to access

    16. Crouching Tiger
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Sterling(c) and double Liverpool defense saved my GW. Total of 13 points from 7 players. Bullet dodged.

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Nice week to have sterling captain. Well played

      2. JasonG123
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Same for me, Sterling (C), TAA, Robbo and Salah the points scorers. Then 13 from 7.

    17. lsorin
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hey guys, help me out, I'm stuck:
      Balbuena + Billing vs Peltier + Paterson

      43 pts all out, lousy lousy lousy gw. Of all weeks, I pick a Utd player this week and Martial disappoints. Fuming

      1. Pieterke30
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        42 here.

      2. Pat Bonner

      3. Superflymonk
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        73 all out bit disappointed by wolves double up fail but Sterling (c) feels so sweet. Looking to get Sane in now for Hazard

        1. LǝgleSs e|even
          • 10 Years

    22. BenDavies
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Think it's fair to say from now on that if you don't have at least 1 City midfielder out of Sane, Dilva or Sterling you're just asking for a bad gameweek. I avoided them for the past 12 gameweeks but can do so no more. Man City are running up cricket scores. Welcome Sterling.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I might go all in and have 3 city midfielders. Guaranteed pts every week. They keep hammering teams

      2. Styles_X
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        they are overpowered af

      3. Amey

        Nope.

        Coincidently my worst score of the season (by points) also happens to be my worst GW rank of the season.

        GW7 41 pts, GW rank 4.4M.

        Doherty+Bennet 😀
        After watching this match and playing 5 at back this gwi am thinking again of not saving 1 ft and going salah+holbrg>> Sane+Dilva/martial so that i would not have to play D+B again against Cardiff
