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.

      Only yourself to blame if you don't own at least one City/Liverpool defender then.

    I'm very interested in Sane.

    Any news that Haz could be out and I might be looking at a Silva Sane Kun triple up next wk (one would then later probably make way for a spurs player, though)

        Haz had a ankle knock towards end of game but chelsea had used all subs.

    Wolves will be better second half. Nuno will smack the crap outta them.

    Huddersfield complete domination.Didnt see that coming

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

      Well there stats weren't that bad lately. I considered Mooy and went Gray afterthat. Even though Mooy had decent stats I didn't trust him and went with the eye test. Looks like a fail.

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

        True but their away form was awful

  8. One for All

    any1 switching Aguero>Kane starting GW 16?

    1. One for All
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      GW 15 I meant

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Aubameyang for Kun 16, Kane for Arnie 15

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Switched him to Mitrovic with Martial to Sterling.

    7 years, 4 months ago

    Now 1pt behind in my cup tie. Wow so exciting.

    One more goal from Hud or yellow card for Patricio will make me a winner.

    Come on lads help me with some cheering

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

      Go Patricio!

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

        man I thought you were on my side.... tctctct

        If you cheer for Patricio yellow then I accept 😉

    2. Regin
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I am also 1 point behind in the cup. Only a Doherty red card will put me thru. A tie would put me out as opponent overall rank better than mine.

  10. el polako
    • 8 Years

    Cant believe that I sold TAA for Doherty.... 🙁
    Seemed like a good idea at the time.

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

      Can't believe so many sold TAA this week. I brought him in!

      1. el polako
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        My thinking was - TAA under rotation threat from Gomez + hectic schedule inc. CL so Doherty safer bet.

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

          The move is fair enough given you were on your WC. Hopefully Doherty nicks an attacking return.

        2. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          It wasn't unreasonable, but it was also not a great move. I'd have preferred to roll it.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea

      Did someone hack your password ? 🙁

        Nah, my own doing.
        Sometimes not making any changes is the hardest bit.

  11. aborg
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Damn Mooy...he ruined what could have been a perfect GW for me ! I need a few saves from Patricio, an assist from Doherty and a goal from Jiménez now.

  12. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Ederson or Alisson are the best set and forget GKs. Fab 0pts, Pat can't keep a CS against Hudds etc,

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Ederson

    2. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Been rolling Ederson since GW3. Set and forget for the year.

      Problem new people have is the price increases

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

      Alisson looks the business - best nailed way into Liverpool cleanies

  13. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    For those with their WC intact, when are you going to use it?

      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      GW15 or 16. Will jump on Arsenal and Spurs assets, maaaybe get rid of Kun (and invest in City midfield instead).

        Want sterling

        Have players like deulofeu Wilson Peltier who I don't want....

  14. FPL Daniel

    7 years, 4 months ago

    Jafalad man, where are you? We are having the most interesting cup tie ..

    It's awesome, we keep changing places and the difference is 1pt.

    Oh my, I am so excited and happy to be part of this.

    Thank you scouts you are the best.

    1. Rash
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Close in my tie as well, him taking a points hit may swing it.

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

        what do you wait from this tie mate? I am happy to cheer for you

        1. Rash
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Think I just need jimenez to stay quiet.

  15. JamieC180
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    29 points this gameweek. Dear Lord.

    1. JamieC180
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      With a 4 point hit. Tears will flow

  16. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Stop me making any silly transfers, easy save here? I really want Sterling/Sane, but Hazard/Salah would have to go.

    Patricio (Hamer)
    Alonso TAA Laporte (AWB Bennett)
    Salah Hazard Rich Martial
    Aguero (C) Arnie Murray

    0.5ITB 1FT

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I think Hazard to Sterling is a good move, the rest of your team is solid

      1. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Would you do it now when Chelsea have Fulham at home up next?

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Man City have Bournemouth at home and are destroying 95% of teams though. If Sterling comes off early or doesn't play in the Champions League, I think it's worth doing. Sterling is just doing too well to ignore at present.

          1. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Or Sala gets the chop, but guessing from your name on here you wouldn't approve of that move

            1. We Will Klopp you
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              I think Salah is more reliable than Hazard, no bias involved there. If Salah wasn't performing I'd say get rid. but he's only blanked in 1 of the last 5 gws. Hazard on the other hand last scored in gw8 and has 1 assist in 5 gws and is notoriously streaky. He's also playing in a poorer team with a terrible striker to play off of.

              1. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                All good points, you may have convinced me. Will see the line-up for Champs League then pull the trigger. Thanks

    2. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Don’t do that. Sacrifice Glenn or Arnie and upgrade Martial.

      1. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Hmmmm, Arnie + Martial to Sane + Ings/Rondon. That feels wrong - no way I can upgrade Martial to Sterling, way too expensive.

        1. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Maybe it is Alonso that needs to go. Alonso + Martial to Davies + Sane?

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

            I like moves that get you Sané in for Martial.
            I am keeping Mo, but Mo to Sterling + Martial to Sané + cash might not be too bad.
            Or an Alonso downgrade, although I’m not sure about Bavies.

        2. Boxwoods
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I would let Haz at least play Fulham (assuming fit). Maybe swap him for sterling after that.

  17. Rash
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Will be scouting rondon tomorrow as a replacement for Wilson. Good fixtures... but it's rondon.

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

      his stats usually deceive since there are a lot of headers .

      P.S Where is the grammar check on this site, not anymore?

    2. Regin
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Same thinking here. Otherwise thinking of downgrading to sucess and upgrade elsewhere.

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

    Was checking stats, that is how passionate I am about this game and FFS in general which is a lovely community.

    Patricio had 15 games this season, this is his 16th and he received 0 yellow cards.

    And last year he got 4 yellow cards in 34 games for Sporting.

    Surely he is due a yellow... 😉

    Lads any other interesting cup tie outthere?

    Thanks,

    2. Rash
      • 8 Years

      Could get a yellow for giving away a pen, then save it hopefully.

      Definitely.
