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.

    Week-on-week changes in top 10k ownership:

    Hazard 83.4% > 64.8%
    Richarlison 81.7% > 71.7%
    Salah 71.7% > 60.0%
    Fraser 43.3% > 37.1%
    Mané 29.3% > 30.6%
    Martial 26.6% > 25.8%
    Sterling 14.8% > 43.2%
    Felipe Anderson 12.3% > 14.7%
    Dilva 6.8% > 10.9%
    Sane 0.6% > 11.7%

    Obviously part impacted by teams shifting within the top 10k between GWs but definitely a fragmentation of the midfield template

    Interesting to see how Neves and Moutinho cope in this game. Don't usually do well when there are physical and/or speedy midfielders around them. Gibbs-White would have been an interesting option for Wolves.

    Well, that's made the time deciding between Bennett or Rich a waste of time. Stay on that bench Bennett.

      Did you bench a mid playing forward for a budget defender playing away?
