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.

    Seriously tempted to do Salah / \ Bennet to Sterling/ Doherty for free and it then allows me the funds for Aguero to Kane if need be

    Patterson is such a disappointment.

      Wilder.

    2. Bubz

    3. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      As much as I loathe Fury in this case he's fighting a bigger enemy, so defacto support him.

    Son, Eriksen, Sane, Sterling, Sigurdsson.

    Viable midfield?

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Can you still have Kane?

      1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Don't want Kane.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Rotation risk, chronic abdominal issue, rotation risk, rotation risk, Richarlison.

      1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        You don't have many points i assume.

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

      too much Spurs for me, but also depends on if you have Kane

      Son Erik Kane overkill IMO

            Yeah cors they have good fixtures for a while cheers mate will have a good think with him in mind too

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

      Low low priced Billing. Low priced Brooks / Kenedy / Mooy / Paterson

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Brooks or Paterson then out of that bunch I think mate

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

          Brooks maybe the best option. Mooy has penalties / set pieces so worth considering

      • 12 Years

      You can call it a mistake when it's a punt that doesn't have much logic behind it
      But City scored 4 and on another day Kun could easily have hauled
      Some of the other popular captain options also failed (e.g. Richarlison)
