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.

    "12 from 2 oh how disappointing" in a sarcastic tone.

      What could have been, though!

    2. WVA

      This, people should be buzzing with that from Wolves

    3. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

      Utterly miserable score.

      Nah, good start innit

  3. Niho992

    Well, 12 points from this 2. I'm happy with that.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years

    Why was Bennett benched?

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years

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

      Because the other Bennett was. Cardiff copied Wolves in formation and bench players

  5. The Train Driver

    Is there anywhere to easily see how many yellow cards certain players are on?

    How was Murphy?

    Since i bought him, it proved useless. Should have bought Kennedy instead ...

    1. Jealous Viper
      • 5 Years

      Was active but not much end product

    Cant believe this but this will my first time taking hit for Goalie .. i never take hit for goalie but in this case...

    Hands are up xD

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

      Might work out in the long term.

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Up where?

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

    Just done Patricio to Lloris and Fabianski to Steele. I know I won't regret it.

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

      Jerky moment for sure. Cue Lloris, Fab injuries

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Dude why didn’t you wait? Silly.

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

        Keepers are generally OK. You're right but just wanted it done.

    3. MTPockets
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Steele?

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

          He'll play when Ryan goes to the Asia cup. Spurs fixtures are good till about gwk 27 though.

          1. MTPockets
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Has only been backup while Button was injured. I think

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

                Steele above button in pecking order man.

                1. MTPockets
                    5 years, 4 months ago

                    Don't think so. Button was backup until injury and played early cup game. But good luck either way.

                  • feedpony
                    • 5 Years
                    5 years, 4 months ago

                    If you saw Steele playing for Sunderland last season (and Blackburn (?) the year before you'd never consider him, he's absolutely woeful

        2. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Well done to Cardiff

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

          3 decent fixtures for Cardiff now
          Unfortunately there's no consistent player that gets the points when they score!

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

            Morrison looks the best option

        4. Yank Revolution
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Huuuuge three points for Cardiff

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

          Wolves have the worst form in the league.

        6. XabiAlonso
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Patrico has been a terrible pick

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

          So, people still thinks Wolves are Barcelona ? Cardiff was 10 times better team tonight, and they are labbeled as worst team in the league. Nicely.

          1. RÏɠBY
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            home advantage innit

          2. panda07
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Let's be fair to Cardiff, they are not as bad as everyone originally thought.

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

          3 Cardiff attack essential

        9. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Fair play Cardiff.

          The awakening.

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

          Wouldn't be surprised if Cardiff manages to stay up.

          1. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            I would

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

              Think three of five behind them will be relegated.

          2. Now I'm Panicking
            • 9 Years

          2. ZeBestee
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Doherty touched the ball a fewer times than the keeper's.

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

            Boly was really good, Doherty was not

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years

              I really like him, he gets a lot of stick, probably mostly from Southerners 😉

        14. Daghe Munegu
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Gunnarson first on my bench....

        15. Jones Kusi
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Is Spurs defenders and Lloris an option gw15 and onwards?

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

            possibly Lloris if you don't have a premium goalie (Allison, Eddy) already
            full backs too much rotation for me
            prefer to keep other Spurs slots for midfield and Kane

            1. Jones Kusi
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              I have Patricio so I am thinking of Lloris.

        16. FPLShaqiri
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Have been planning the wildcard for GW15, to get Kane, Sterling and maybe another Spurs and Arsenal asset. Nothing particularly wrong with my team but would you WC?

          Patricio
          Robertson Alonso Ricardo
          Mané Salah Martial Fraser
          Arnautovic Aguero Zaha
          Hamer | AWB Bennett Neves

            • 9 Years

            Many will not WC when they see their current GW15 teams

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

              If you've still got the wildcard when are you playing it?

          2. zon
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            You're right, it's not terrible but I would cos I did. Had a similar "not too shabby" team, but felt like it's time to react.

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

              Yeah I want to WC as I had been thinking of doing it for a while in GW15. Not sure my team will ever be in terrible shape so might be worth gambling on (K)ane.

          3. RÏɠBY
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            from a-position-of-strength i think they call it.. but yeah you've stuck it out this long another GW isn't going to hurt
            nice team

        17. BigBillyBass
          • 5 Years

          Junior Hoilett sounds exactly like John Barnes

          1. XabiAlonso
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            You don't get to no5 in the world by playing gunnarsson

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

            second spot, unlikely to get the points

        20. Ambrosiana Inter
          • 6 Years

          Next week squad

          Salah,Delafleu,Willian,Son
          Kun,Arnautovic,Morata

          Harmer, Bennett, AWB, Murphy

          Kun to Kane as I think Jesus will start if fit
          Willian to Rich
          But feel like Delafleu and Murphy are useless need to get rid of one of the two
          Thoughts?
          Kenedy? Townsend?
