Fantasy Premier League managers may have a tough decision when considering Wolves’ attacking options in 2018/19.
A price hike for Raúl Jiménez (£7.5m) has put clear daylight between him and colleague Diogo Jota (£6.5m).
Despite the latter’s switch from midfield to the forward department, his offer of a £1.0m saving is certainly enticing.
In this latest members article, requested by readers on site and social media, we will compare Wolves’ two central strikers to assess which is the better option for our Fantasy teams.
As this uses data taken from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, only those who have signed up for 2019/20 can access the bulk of the article.
Selecting the right period for comparison
On the surface, it’s hard to look past Jiménez given that he outscored Jota across the 2018/19 season.
The Mexican recorded a final total of 181 points compared his Portuguese colleague’s 139.
That is probably why Jiménez is, by a long way, the more popular of the two following the release of the 2019/20 game.
In fact, currently sat in 42.7% the former Benfica man is the most fashionable asset in any position.
Obviously, his price means that auto-pick selections will still be influencing that figure, and it has dropped slightly from the 43.5% he was at on July 5.
However, to suggest either his 2018/19 score or early 2019/20 popularity are cause to back Jiménez over Jota would be somewhat naïve.
