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.

    3. Pierce34

      Sure, 32 (-4). Westwood to save my gameweek tomorrow.

      1. TAT

        Fancy Burnley to do well, actually.

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          That may be so, but Westwood will probably come on for a 1 point cameo, blocking Wan-Bissaka's points.

          (and no, I didn't start Westwood of course - he's 1st sub and I have Lacazette)

          1. TAT

      1. TAT

        Always the possibility of him scoring!

        1. Mika-eel
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Fingers crossed. Better luck next week mate.

            Thanks – to you as well! 🙂

  4. Flynny
    • 11 Years

    Doherty and Patricio seems overkill on wild card

    Think vinagre at 4.3m could be best bet.

    Anyone agree? Thanks

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Just doherty

    2. mdm
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I agree

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

      Isnt he likely to go back to bench when Jonny comes back?

      Except if you think otherwise, then Doherty.

  5. TAT

    Vinagre>Digne + Salah>Sterling (-4)

    Afternoon all, already trying to forget about my GW and may make my first early transfer of the season, Mendy to TAA is the move I keep returning to, other option was Balbuena but don't think I can bring myself to get him on board despite fixture run due to WH being so leaky at the back.

    Patricio, Ryan
    Alonso, Robbo, Mendy*, WB, Bennett
    Hazard, Salah, Rich, Fraser
    Kun, Jimmy, Wilson

    1. TLF

  8. tm245

    That was a waste.

  9. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Why did Mark do Hennessey to Patricio?

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

      Utd away vs Hudd at home

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

      He made another goalkeeper transfer?

    3. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years

      Why do you care?

  10. diesel001

    Jimenez terrible

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years

      He really is

  11. TorresMagic™

    Jimenez 🙁

  12. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Omg Jimenez shoot that

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

    Jimenez wtf he is doing

  14. McSauce
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Lesson Learnt, do not expect consistent big returns from average teams and average players (Jimenez, Doherty)

    1. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      You going to upset a lot of Digne owners 😉

      1. McSauce
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Ha fair!!

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Surely against Hudds at home demands a bit of expectation.

  15. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Doherty assist or goal incoming

  16. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I don't see how people expect Jimenez to magically transform into a good finisher just because he's a template choice all of a sudden 😀

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

      Thiss

    2. BDMC5
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      What’s the point of comments like these. Easy to say now the game is winding down.

      He’s on decent form and Hudd and Cardiff up next. He’s also an enabler for a premium midfielders so no one is expecting big hauls but he’s certainly demands some consideration.

  17. Alnair
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Jimenez you ****!

  18. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Jimmy will score don’t worry lads

  19. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Can't believe Jiminez doesn't shoot there!

  20. FPL Scoop

    score boy!!!

  21. diesel001

    Football should switch to 60 mins, but stop the clock when the ball is out of play or there is a sub, injury or foul until play is restarted. Be able to watch more action then.

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

      A big Sam vs pulis match would take about 3 days to complete.

      1. Ambrosiana Inter
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Lol

  22. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Jimenez has never scored > 6 league goals/season in his career
