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.

      Anyone transferring out hazard for sterling? No one has sterling in my mini league and only about 10% ownership overall which seems mad to me. If it wasn’t Fulham at home next for Chelsea I definitely would

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        If he plays Fulham he might be gold

      2. Styles_X
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        if you already have him hold for ful before taking him out... he will match/outscore sterling defintely

    6. Dušan Citizen

            Hi, mate. Safety score most probably will exceed 37, right? 🙁

            Knew it was 28 last night.

            Thanks.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              I’d guess around 35

              Depends on tomorrow and autosubs. 37 could be safe.

        Hazard to Sterling?

        1. Styles_X
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          not for next week no

      8. cigan
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Shaqiri + Laporte > Sane + 4.7 what do you reckon?

        1. Dosh
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Why sell Laporte?

          1. cigan
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Can't have 4x Man City and I'd prefer to keep DSilva & Aguero

      9. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I have Fabianski - I am going to WC in 2-3 GWs. I am regretting not getting Ryan now (obviously) but should I stick with Fab or go for somebody else? If I change, they would have to be in the same price range.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Treat it as a hit, think you'll make the 4 points?

          1. The Big Fella
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Cheers mate! I hardly ever take hits. Maybe 1 a season under exceptional circumstances. I will change Fab when I WC (if I do change him at all). His next few games are easy now and should allow me to properly assess their defensive abilities. Just want to know who I should also be watching.

      10. HNI
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Which of these look best for upcoming hectic december

        1) Kane + Martial
        2) Kun + Alli but is alli nailed much as Kane with lamela/Moura on bench
        3) Mitro + Sterling

      11. DantheManinaPan
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        34 points plus Kenedy. Woeful.

        What's the link for the FFS Cup matches? And does the FFS Members Cup have its (or an estimated) qualifying criteria yet?

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Awesome, thank you.

            Unless Kenedy goes wild tomorrow, looks like I'll scrape through this week.

          One game to go. Would want 40+ to have a chance.

          Salah to Sterling, Cook to Laporte

          1. Casper77
            • 7 Years

            I can not get Laporte as I will already have 3 ManC players

            Sterling

            • 9 Years

            Great, Just great, Eden hazard, the gift that keeps on giving, looks like I'll almost certainly be selling him for Sterling now.

      16. child of God
        • 7 Years

        Was really looking forward to bring arnie in for gw14 only for him get injured, big big shame

      17. HNI
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Luck soaked World number in fpl doesnt have salah and replaced Keane with TAA inspite of his non nailedness whereas stat oriented fol community keeps faith Salah and bring balbuena wisely based on stats. Just fills you with irritation to see calculated decisions going soo wrong. Taa 25 pts in 2 weeks still hurting

        1. Rash
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I sold Trent 2 weeks ago, been a disaster.

          1. sambyy
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            I did TAA to Laporte because of the rotation risk couple of weeks ago. Only missed on a goal, an assist and a couple of cleanies 🙂

      18. Slitherene
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        If you had to choose one keeper for the next 3, who would it be?

        A) Pickford (liv, NEW, WAT)
        B) Fabianski (new, CAR, CRY)

        Give it a try?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          Strong enough squad for GW15 onwards?

          Ederson | Hart
          Alonso | TAA | Doherty | Keane |AWB
          Sterling | Mané | Alli | Richarlison | Anderson
          Aguero | Arnie | Success

          1. BenDavies
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Would be concerned about Aguero's rotation from GW15. I'm going with Kane. Other than that its a fantastic team.

        3. Patch
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Bow down to me? That is a 55 average most weeks...

          Fabianski - (Skeleton).

          Alonso - TAA - Smalling - (Bennett) - (Duffy).

          Dilva - Mane - Mahrez/ErickAlli - Mane - (Kenedy).

          Kane - Wilson - Jiminez.

          I am very surprised to see that I will progress to the next round of FFS cup after my -16 point hit. Thank you Raheem.

          • 7 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Should arnie be ruled out long term, who is most likely to play the no.9?
          A. Hernandez
          B. Perez
          C. Carroll
          D. Antonio

          Is hazard really needed for the weekend.. it's him for a mane upgrade or Rica go a boring d Silva transfer.. what do you think?

          1. Styles_X
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            wait for the injury update on haz if you want to get him. i dont like chelsea's fixtures after fulham though

          1. BenDavies
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Thats how I'm viewing it. Still got league rival to beat and the main FA Cup coming up in GW17 😉

        8. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Would you keep double Bournemouth attack on WC in GW16? What about Double Wolves defence?

          1. MTPockets
              7 years, 5 months ago

              Bournemouth - probably not, but depends how many expensive options you plan to squeeze in from mci/tot/ars etc.
              Wolves - no

            • Rash
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              Think I'm cashing in on Wilson (keeping Fraser) maybe cash in on Doherty too

            Hazard to Sterling (free)

            Or

            Salah + Martial to Mane + Sterling (-4)

            Lots of Fabianski and Patricio owners (rotating GKs). Who to play in GW14?

              They make my Foster and Etheridge look like Ederson and Allison.

                Don't have either but would play Patricio

              surely haz sits out midweek and comes back in for fulham right?
              and any update on arnie?

              2 FT and 1.6 ITB. Was planning to ship Mitro but will hold now.

              Any suggestions? Maybe Patricio > Ryan/Hennessey and save the other FT?

              Patricio
              Robbo - Duffy - Doherty
              Salah - Haz - Richarlison - Fraser
              Aguero - Arnie - Mitro

              Hart - Cairney - AWB - Bednarek

              Keep those transfers on ice folks - some heavy midweek European action coming up.

              There’s no way all the top 6 teams are all making it to Friday without a couple of new injuries

                    Same, and may add a Sane or Alli/Eriksen

                  This lot of drama could happen

                From people considering captaining Jimenez and Doherty to this. It's been a meltdown.
