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.

    Jimenez ain't great but you won't get better value than him

    1. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Not clinical enough. It good value yes

    Surprised to see Hazard captained by only 11.5% of the TOP10K

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      That is far to much for a player who ain't 100 %

    2. Dynamic Duos

      Aguero obvious this week

      1. HNI
        • 11 Years

        Not after 90mins midweek

    3. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years

      bad form + not certain of playing 90

      • 7 Years

      Two issues:

      1) Morata likely to start
      2) Not 100% on form or fitness

    HUD game - Traore comes on while Wolves are losing - "Traore is great, he needs to be starting games"
    CAR game - Traore starts - *abuse*

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I love watching him. Not sure about through the middle however...

    2. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He just dont have brain, and he dont get football is team play, not individual.

  6. Sterling Silva is better th…

    Fab
    Alonso Robbo TAA AWB
    Salah Hazard Sterling
    Aguero Arnie Jiminez

    Doherty Richarlison Patterson

    Good to go, or would you play Doherty over someone?

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Mate... Did you miss the deadline? It was ~2h ago!

    2. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn't, but I would definitely play Richarlison over someone. Probably Jimenez.

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Think he's asking about GW14... whilst the deadline has already passed.

      Def play Doherty.

    Benched Boly

    RIP

    1. HNI

      Doherty scored not Boly

      1. Ha.

        Oh, my mistake. RIP

    2. Fergus1107

      I benches jiminez for Boly. Dammit

  8. Big_Andy_GAWA

    Doherty looks like Michael Carrick...! 😮

    1. HNI
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Burly rugged Carrick

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Carrick does look fairly rugged with that beard of his, though... 😀

  9. Dybala10

    Wolves need to upgrade Jimenez ASAP. He is absolutely hopeless. Gold in FPL, but hopeless as a footballer. You don't fail at Benfica and Atletico for no reason.

    1. tafrère
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Lol ?

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

      Well, Wolves aren't exactly on the same level as those two teams.

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He's alone vs 3 CBs. Difficult for a lone isolated forward.

    4. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Le Donk says hi

    5. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      One of the top assisters in the PL so far.

    6. JJO
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He is working alot for the team,tracking back left and right
      But yeah,tehnically he is max Championship player

    7. HNI
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I actually dint bring him in start when I saw him manage to tap in off target! He is basically mexican Lukaku with lesser pace and strength

      1. Evil Greg
        • 14 Years

        Lloris 5.4m on my radar with a 4m non player.

    Guys, best route to get Kane?

    A. Hazard Success => Hogg Kane
    B. Salah Mane Success => Alli Siggy Kane -4
    C. B with Sane Rich instead of Alli Siggy
    D. Just Kun => Kane

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years

      D

    2. Rocky FPL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Salah > Fraser

    As a Patricio, Doherty and Jimenez owner, this gw has started rather nicely. Would settle for the 1-0!

      At least they are learning, which is more than can be said for my students.

    Bennett owner. Lots of money in the bank and carried a transfer. That doherty looks like he would have been a decent shout? #rankkilled

    What is with the Jiminez hate? If not for a good save he's the one who's put wolves 1-0 up, he made the goal anyway and is putting a shift in!

    He's not a typical old-school CF so isn't going to score 30 goals but no one expects that from Firmino either? Same role in the team
