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.

    First time ever playing with a back 5, lets see how it plays out.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

    1. Deulofail

      1. vickyz r3d d3vil$ !!!
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        Pondered all week whether to bring double City mid or just Sane..and now i ended up with none.

        1. Deulofail
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 14 days ago

          Can't blame you. Got other priorities now like bribing St Peter etc

  12. Emiliano Sala
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

  13. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    What Forwards for the perfect WC up to Xmas?

    Kane, Mitro, Auba?

    Or go super cheap & go Sané, Sterling, Salah, Haz ? Midfield

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Depends on the rest of the team and team value.

    2. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Kane Aubameyang and Arnautovic is what I’ll have.

    • 9 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Nuno basically saying that Bennett and Cavaleiro have been dropped. Made the scapegoats for recent performances.

  24. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Wilson for C next GW ? Last season he scored hattie vs Hudd.

    A : Wilson, Alli and Salah or
    B : Kane, Sane, and 7.5 MID

    1. F4L
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

          • 10 Years
          7 years, 14 days ago

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 14 days ago

            What kind of hat?

            1. Gnu
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 14 days ago

            2. F4L
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 14 days ago

    • 13 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Best transfer to transfer Aguero >> Kane:
    A. Trippier >> Digne

    C. Hazard >> Sane

    1. BeDreamin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Depending on teamsheets I'd say C

      C

    • 15 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Thoughts on Hazard & Jiminez > Alli & Kane for -4 next GW?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Yeah.

    2. BeDreamin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Looks good. Must have some cash in the bank.

      1. FC Barkerlona
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        £5.3m

  27. nkhoughton
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Is Siggy better than Richarlison in short to long term

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Not in any term.

      1. nkhoughton
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        He's currently on more points

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 14 days ago

          Go for him then.

  28. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Salah OUT Alli IN for Next GW ? Is too much 2 players from Spurs ( Kane and Alli) or just Kane is enough

    1. FC Barkerlona
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      I'm looking at 2, possibly 3

  29. jdp219

    Bold move, Cotton, let's see if it works out for him...

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Whether it works out or not, that was silly like jam

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        Sorry, I recognise that phrase isn't in common usage yet. It's just my nephew thinks jam is silly.

        1. jdp219
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 14 days ago

          No, no. Jam is hella silly.

      2. Indpush
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        I like jam

        1. Deulofail
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 14 days ago

          Then you'll love my FPL team

          1. Indpush
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 14 days ago

            Almost any but not toe.

            1. Deulofail
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 14 days ago

              😐

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      It it like going for the jugular with your hands tied behind your back.

      They will say he cracked if it does not work out and that he is just lucky if it pays off.

    3. jbenny1107
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Must have been drunk.

    4. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Can't check history but I'm guessing he has no previous form?

  30. 17legend85
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Hazard is -248 on the fplstatisics page! I’ve never seen that score before, is that a double drop in price or just the one?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Only .1

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        He'll not be 10 for long.

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Just one

      1. 17legend85
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        Prob a double drop before next deadline

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Three

    4. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      -3 if he reaches -300

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        And -4 if he reaches -400, etc
