Bennett benched as Cardiff match Wolves’ 3-4-3 formation

Owners of budget defender Ryan Bennett (£4.2m) will be disappointed to see that he was named on the bench for Wolves’ trip to Cardiff City.

The two newly-promoted sides both turned heads with their team-sheets as they prepare to kick off Gameweek 14 of Fantasy Premier League.

Bennett has been replaced in the back-three by versatile Moroccan international Romain Saïss (£4.2m) while Adama Traore (£5.3m) gets just his second league start of the campaign.

Naturally, popular options Rui Patrício (£4.6m), Matt Doherty (£4.9m) and Raúl Jiménez (£5.9m) all retained their starting places.

Meanwhile, Neil Warnock has matched his opposite number by deploying his Cardiff side in a 3-4-3 formation.

Sean Morrison (£4.7m), Sol Bamba (£4.5m) and Bruno Ecuele Manga (£4.5m) make up the back three with Junior Hoilett (£5.0m) and Harry Arter (£4.9m) as the left and right wing-backs respectively.

Josh Murphy (£4.8m) and Victor Camarasa (£4.5m) are the wide forwards either side of Callum Paterson (£5.2m).

Cardiff City XI (3-4-3): Etheridge; Bamba, Morrison, Manga; Hoilett, Ralls, Gunnarsson, Arter; Murphy, Paterson, Camarasa.

Wolves XI (3-4-3): Patrício; Boly, Coady, Saïss; Vinagre, Moutinho, Neves, Doherty; Costa, Jiménez, Traore.

    I feel like the only FPL Manager in the world who doesnt own Doherty, always something stopping me from getting him in elsewhere in my team. I may need to take a hit to get him in and be done with it.

      83% of players don't have. U are not alone.
      I have him.

      It feels a bit like the world imploding every time he delivers. Doesn’t even pick up YCs

      Fixtures turn for the worse. I don't own him and not concerned.

      I wouldn’t be that concerned just for Doherty mate

    Bloody Neves. Cant wait to get rid of him but always other fires to put out!

    Neves YC, suspended for GW15.

      You'd bench him in that one anyway, though.

    wolves front 3 putting defence under pressure, absolute terrible hold up play and link up

    1. Hand of clod
      • 9 Years

      Totally agree. Jimenez has been woeful really despite his assist.

  6. Sim Simma

    Murphy wastes an assist opportunity. Patterson would have scored

    1. Sun Jihai

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Trueee

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Feel starting Dunk over him may be a mistake but owell

    i can't believe how wildly different flpstatistics & fantasyfootballfix are at the moment.. fff has always been on the hype side of things but the sterling and sane differences are immense

    Well done Bennett owners. May your auto sub be fruitful.

    Off topic, but does anybody on here follow swimming at all? (I do, because I'm a competitive swimmer)

    Anthony Ervin's (US sprinter) story is nuts. Imagine winning your second Olympic gold medal in your best event 16 YEARS after the first one (2000, and then 2016). Especially after having been retired for 8 years between 2003-2011.

    Everyone in my mini league except of me has Kun (C). Mo Salah, may the mighty Ra be with you, I count on you...
