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.

    Has Mark Hughes been sacked yet?

    Fellas: Long term

    A- Eriksen, Trippier

    B- Alli, Trippier

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

      Eriksen for me

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

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

      1. Fantastisk

        Lol

    That was awful Wolves. Terrible performance at home.

    Angry fan

      Imagine what it feels to sit through that as non-fan...

    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...

          By end of tomos I reckon 38

  5. Team Cruel

    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
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure they could even manage that.

    2. Superflymonk
      • 11 Years

      Lol

  6. 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, 7 months ago

      I'm planning on playing him over Bennett

  7. Jon Snow
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 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, 7 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

  8. the snazzy viking
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 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

  9. BigBillyBass
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

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

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

      😀

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

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

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

      I am wise, wise I tell thee.

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

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

  11. JasonG123
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

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

  12. BenDavies
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 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, 7 months ago

      This is like the time I did Mendy > Digne.

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

      What if Sterling kicks the turf even harder this week?

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

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

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

      Of course.

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

      yes

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

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

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

      Sane

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

      Sane

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

      Sane + Dilva
      Sane if only 1 to get

    4. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 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

  15. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 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, 7 months ago

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

    2. Pieterke30
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

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

    3. Styles_X
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 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, 7 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

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

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

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

      This.

  17. AnfieldLad
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 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, 7 months ago

      I'm not allowed to say my opinion sorry

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

        Hang in there buddy.

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

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

  18. Crouching Tiger
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 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
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Nice week to have sterling captain. Well played

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

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

  19. lsorin
    • 12 Years

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

  20. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 10 Years

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

    1. Pieterke30
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      42 here.

    2. Pat Bonner

    3. Superflymonk

        I wish to play you in the later phases not now, now it is too early.

        Cheers.

  24. BenDavies
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 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
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 7 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, 7 months ago

      they are overpowered af

    3. Amey

      Nope.

      GW7 41 pts, GW rank 4.4M.

      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
