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.

    Only a Doherty brace will take away the pain of losing that double CS.

  5. Bob B
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    DDG GW1-8 + Patricio GW9-14 = 1 clean sheet.

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years

    I've got 2 ft. Do I transfer Haz+Mitro for Paterson+Kane?

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Get a haircut hippy.

    2. FlockofSeagulls
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I'd rather have Brooks than Pato.

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        good call

        1. FlockofSeagulls
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

      1. Claudio555
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Plays oop and great fixtures. Best value for money I believe (max 5,3m)

  9. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

    Funny that my 1 week punt before GW16 will be Patricio to Fabianski haha

  10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    hazard a serious c candidate on wed if this performance by wolves is anything to go by

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      No Neves, no Jonny, no points

    2. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      If he plays tmrw he might get rested midweek, he isn't 100%.

  11. Alnair
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Doherty's bonus is pathetic...

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Fouls, no passing BPS.

  12. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Wolves front 3 are really poor. Keep losing the ball and are little help to the mids/defence when Cardiff have possession

  13. circusmonkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Thank someone for that goal, dithered on Doherty at 4.5 and he got away. Bennett instead

  14. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    That's why Jota isn't first choice

  15. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Doherty needs one more goal for bonus.

  16. DROP IT LIKE IT'S HART
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Paterson booked for that moustache.

  17. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Doherty will still end up on 15pts somehow

  18. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    let's face it, Wolves don't do cleansheets anymore. Which leaves the question, what do we do with Doherty?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Nothing.

      1. fr3d
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        «We?»

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Neither do Chelsea and Alonso is 7.1m!

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

        are you for real? 3 cleansheets in the last six matches.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Trippier, Robbo, Alonso, TAA, AWB - no room for Doc in there unfort

    4. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Think of him as a 5th mid you'd actually play or some crap like that

    5. suddenorgan
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      sell after GW17 if you don't have any bigger problems, which you definitely will so he'll probably stay until second wildcard

    6. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      keeping

      if I sell I only recoup 4.6 and defenders at that price are pretty dire
      already have AWB, Robbo, Alonso

    7. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Christ he still scored a goal!

  19. Pacer.

    Wolves quaking and on the back foot against Cardiff. The run is officially over.

    How do they manage to bypass Costa for every single goal. The guy is basically an attacker. It's phenomenal how unproductive he is

    1. Where has all the rum gone?
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Was he ever productive?

  20. BigBillyBass
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Wilson, Arnie or Richarlison captain for midweek GW?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Wilson

  21. Sim Simma

    Hahaha Ref 🙂

  22. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years

    what a dive from the ref

  23. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Expecting a Flappyhandski masterclass after Patricio's antics.

    Meh, at least no urgent transfer.

    Traore is a maggot

    Record signing pffft!

  25. RubeRx
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Gibbs-White needs to start

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Two players?

      That's cheating.

    Why was Bennett benched?

    Murphy, since i bought him, os useless. Rather have Stephens or Obiang and save some money.
