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.

      No Patterson involvement there

    Wow !!

  3. Frank Black
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Got an assist from Jimenez but i benched Doherty, ugh. Unless Hazard doesn't play there's no chance i'll get those points. Maybe if Pereira doesn't play...

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Possibly craziest week to bench doherty... even for cleansheet terms? Who did you play ahead

      1. Frank Black
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        TAA, Alonso and Pereira.

        1. Majestic Chanka
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          And from attack?

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I’m sorry but you don’t deserve the points. Benching against Cardiff?

      1. Frank Black
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Wolves has been awful lately. I wanted a differential and i played Paterson, who's my cheap midfielder.

        I played Doherty against Huddersfield and got punished.

        1. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Punished? Do you expect a sub 5m to haul every week?

        2. mixology
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I benched him too. Life goes on. May come off bench, who knows

        3. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          2/1 for a Wolves CS with the bookies. I very nearly benched for Knockhaert.

    2. Rainer

    3. diesel001

    Need that juicy 15 pointer.

  12. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Do I need to get Doherty now or is it too late.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Still value at his price.

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Never too late, definitely buy him.

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      6 points in last 5 without great fixtures.

      He's a Capoue, not an Alonso.

    4. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      not to Chelsea

  13. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Since i only have Jimenez and Doherty... i want cardiff to score right?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No. You want as many Wolves points as you can get.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Wolves defence EO in the Top 10k is 86.7%. So every extra point Doherty gets is an increase in rank for you.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No, unless worried about rivals.

      86% EO for Wolves defence, before Bennett benching is accounted for.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Few have Patricio but not Jimenez so im chilling tbh

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No

  14. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    HOT TAKE: St Mirren would batter this Cardiff side.

  15. mr messi
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Woohoo Doherty

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      You need a little hat for your broken leg!

  16. elchilangles
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Aguero + Murray for Kane + Jimenez worth it?

  17. adey70
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Got home, was checking in before making my transfers (Kane and Sane in for Lacazette and Hazard). And I’ve already got seven points and missed it. Hoping this is a lucky break. Gah. Never did this in my glory season....

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard and Lacazette are playing 2 of the worst teams in the league.

      Lucky break.

      1. adey70
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks WK. Appreciate the solidarity! Two transfers next week. I’ll be sure to do them on Friday afternoon (joke)...

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Glory season?

      1. adey70
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        When I finished in top 1000. Such heady days. This year I’m struggling to make the top million...

  18. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Wolves are going to lose their CS again aren't they? 🙁

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yep

    3. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Almost certain. Probably after the 80th minute too after we’ve all got our hopes up.

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years

  24. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Costa is poor

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      So is Nero

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Starbucks is worse

  25. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Would that have been a Patterson assist ?

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      yes. Same logic applies for free kicks as well

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      The header no, the dive yes

  26. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Paterson or Neymar?

  27. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Twatterson

  28. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Patterson deserved a YC there

  29. TRIPOS TOPPER
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Paterson's moustache looks horrendous - looks like he should be in a maximum security wing of Parkhurst

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      It is Charles Bronsonesq alright.

  30. Clintymints
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Hmm Wilson and Bennett out for Jim and Doherty? 0.0 itb shop closing soon

    Yay or nay? I’ve begrudgingly not had Doherty all this time but Bennett out, Doherty and Jim scoring. Wilson meh fixts, it could be time?

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      HUD?

    2. MTPockets
        7 years, 3 months ago

        May want to check their next fixtures

      • Clintymints
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Then pool

        Priced out after tonight. Might just get Jim for Wilson and see how the rest of the week performs. I made an error getting Wilson instead of Jim 2 weeks back. FOOLISH!

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          The exact same reason you're getting Jim is the reason you got Wilson: chasing past points

          1. Clintymints
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Well Bennett is dead and I need the bench

            Perfect replacements

      • elchilangles
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago
