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.

    Doherty owners should be thankful for 7 points, wolves hopeless defence 🙂

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

      This you'd take 7 from a Wolves defender everytime

    2. Where has all the rum gone?

      They need an international break.

      Good in isolation, but atrocious returns this past GWs.

      I am happy with 7 points from a defender on the losing team. Had him for all his hauls so the blanks didn't bother me too much.

    Can’t say I’m unhappy with 12 from 2 tbh. So much negativity

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Exactly.... from 10.5m ish12 pts...

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

      No yellows and I'm happy out with their returns.

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

    4. Evil Greg
      • 14 Years

      Satisfied myself. Although selling Patricio. No point selling Doherty imo, just bench and improve elsewhere.

    5. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years

        Lloris becoming more injury prone, will get rotated at Xmas.

      • 9 Years

      Throw an attacker on surely

  20. JasonG123
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    My goalkeeper has scored about 3 since GW1 (Foster with 6). So many lost points by persisting with the cheap keeper strategy I think.

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

    Noooooo, Bennett may come on

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

      Why

    2. Alnair
      • 7 Years

      Yeeessss c'mon

  22. Wilshere Knowledge

    The usurper is down.

  23. TAT
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Every week I question why I have Ederson as a set and forget GK. Then games like these are on TV.

  24. bengan1113

    Sane rising tonight?

  25. Wild Rover

    Happy 70th Birthday to Warnock btw 🙂

    1. Evil Greg
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He looks well for 70, more like 60.

  26. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Vinagre bandwagon failed as expected...

  27. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Bennett owners safe...

  28. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Remember when wolves were solid defensively... 🙁

    At least Doherty scored

  29. ⭐ ABHISHEK - THE CURIOUS …
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    I think first in this FPL history , where a goalie will be transferred out and drop by 0.3 in same week...

    Get out Patricio

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

      Bit of an overreaction.

    2. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Ok will transfer him out now.

  30. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Hope Bennett comes on, could really do with his 1 point from third position on my bench

    1. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years

      Not likely
