Can Wolves’ FPL assets perform as well in 2019/20?

Wolverhampton Wanderers were one of the big success stories of last season, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s impressive side finishing seventh in their first Premier League campaign in six years.

The West Midlands club offered Fantasy managers some notable bargain buys, with Matt Doherty (£6.0m), Diogo Jota (£6.5m) and Raul Jimenez (£7.5m) the three stand-out assets.

Doherty, Jimenez and several others have been handed price rises in Fantasy Premier League this summer, however, and aren’t quite the cut-price gems they were 12 months ago.

Do Wolves players still appeal, then, going into 2019/20?

Our 20th and final Numbers Game piece looks at Wanderers’ underlying data from last season to see if the numbers of 2018/19 can be repeated in the upcoming campaign.

    Is Jota a good pick?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I THINK SO, JUST TRICKY FIXTURES.

      1. Lallana's Bananas
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, last player I'm debating on

        Europa is also a pain in the arse. Difficult journey tonight.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Bit confusing as they were so good against tough opposition last year.

    2. DeathoftheParty
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes and no... The 6500 mile trip to play tonight means he's a watchlister.

      1. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        See how many minutes he plays tonight - wolves have pretty much put out a first team

      2. Lallana's Bananas
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, just hoping he doesn't play tonight

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          He's starting

          I’ve got bad news for you. Lol

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes.

    4. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Not for me.

    5. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I think so - think he has a huge season this year and one of the big European teams go in for next summer.

    LOOKS LIKE I NEED TO GET RID OF NKETIAH

      YES, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU NEED TO

    2. DeathoftheParty
      • 7 Years

      It does... Go for Martellini?

    Hi,

    Any suggestions appreciated

    Heaton
    Coleman Montoya VVD
    Norwood Salah De Bruyne Perez
    Kane King Aubameyang

    Button Lundstram Dendoncker Diop

    1. mazkills
      • 6 Years

      Looks cool.

  4. Valar(Keith)
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Dendonker will be 4.8 by Christmas.. Partly because he is the only 4.5er and will rise like crazy after his first goal 🙂

    1. Kante Touch This
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Drinkwater a viable option now

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Wait what.. Drinkwater moved?

        1. Kante Touch This

          Last min to Burnley on loan

            • 14 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Cheers.. Cant believe we now have a safety net for donks :).. The moment the window closed I threw him back in my team. Was worried about lemina

    2. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Drinkwater?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yes, if he's near the first team. Had some pre-season action.

        1. Concrete
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Maybe a WC option then

      2. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years

        I thought I misspelt dendonker and you'll were making fun of me 😆

      There’s a ton of playing 4.5s, which we have in typical fashion limited to just 1.

  7. mazkills

    4 years, 7 months ago

    Speaking of Jota...

    Core guys:

    Robertson/VVD
    Richarlison/Moura/Sterling/Salah
    King Jota

    Would you rather:

    a) Ederson/4.5 4th def/Coleman
    b) Ryan/Digne/Zinchenko

  8. wedgec
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Probably won't get a response in the mayhem but how's my big at the back team looking:

    Pope
    VVD Robertson Laporte Zinchenko
    Salah Sterling Siggy Perez
    King Kean

    McGovern, Dunk Dendonker Greenwood

    Dunk comes in with reasonable GW1 if Laporte or Kean miss out, hopefully both don't.

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Not worried that 2 goals sinks that defense?

      1. wedgec
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Maybe, but two best defences and lots have double Liv anyway. Going back to the drawing board though

    2. BigBarn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I like it. Just watch for any news from Silva on Kean starting GW1.

  9. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Play Montoya (wat) or Dendoncker (lei) this round?

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Montoya

  10. DeathoftheParty
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Ciao to the troll may you never curse me again.

  11. pol
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A- Kane + King + Fraser + Stevens
    B- Wilson + Jota + KDB + Van Dijk
    C- Vardy + King + Fraser + Van Dijk

    (Have TAA as well so VVD would be double pool defense)

  12. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Everton have signed Arsenal winger Alex Iwobi for a few in the region of £35-40m [@bbcsport_david] https://t.co/sfmdCqSN7L

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Zaha's sloppy seconds

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wow. Thats silly money.

    3. Bruce Lee
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Terrible signing

    4. Meinhoff
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Why tho

  13. Azathoth
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Kieran Tierney's £25m move to Arsenal deal done. He's signed a 5-year contract and will wear the number 3 shirt.

  14. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Hi guys. Im liking what Ive got and think I'm sticking to it but let me have it please.

    Ryan
    TAA VVD Dinge Taylor Diop
    Salah (C) KDB Bilva Perez
    Kane (VC) King

    Button Dendonka Diop Greenwood.

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A) Ederson and 4.5 def
      B) Digne and 4.5 gk

  15. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Bugger off PALACE... Zaha at Everton would’ve been perfect. 🙁

    Will Iwobi start for them?

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Who cares. Not a fpl asset anywhere he plays imo.

    2. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Don't think so They spent 40 millions for warming the bench?

    3. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He's instead of Zaha. Maybe not ready for GW1 but should be first choice.

  16. Crazy crazy horse
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is it crazy, crazy to consider Martial?

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. At least not yet

    2. sirmorbach
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Not at all. Don't have him atm but because of (a) structure and (b) Fraser, but he's a good option. Great perhaps.

      Go for it.

    3. The Darkest Knight
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      no...

    4. The Darkest Knight
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I am currently on Wilson + Ings
      but thinking about going
      King + Martial

      1. Crazy crazy horse
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I think he's under the radar

    5. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Decent pick now he has little competition.

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        what do you mean little competition? On the wing he has competition from Lingard, Mata, and Sanchez (and maybe Dalot). Up front he has competition from Rashford and Greenwood. Not to mention United seem likely to make some random surprise deadline day signing.

    6. The Chosen One...
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No. Unlike previous years, he's now nailed and potential playing up front

    7. Oooof
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      OOP there it is

      OOP there it is

  17. Deadly97
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A) Salah , Barkley, sigurdsson

    B) Fraser mane pulisic

    1. sirmorbach
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A because Salah. But I'd make Siggy-Fraser, Barkley-Pérez.

    2. Forever In Our Shadow

      I like it. Solid.

    3. The Chosen One...

      Montoya for Dunk imo

  19. JJeyy

    wood or tielemans??

    1. sirmorbach
      • 7 Years

      Tielemans for me

    2. Garth Marenghi
      • 7 Years

      Youri

  20. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is it crazy you have a strategy of flipping between Kane and Auba over the first 4 weeks?

    1. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Waste of FTs

    2. sirmorbach
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. You'll kill yourself when you transfer Kane out and he scores a hat trick while Auba blanks (or the other way round)

    3. JELLYFISH
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Not at all. Owning either also opens up the door to Kun if/when he puts his scoring boots on

    4. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. I looked into it, not good. Problem is if both score and rise 0.1, you can't afford the switch.

  21. Vamos Los Celeste

    Tierney & Iwobi welcome to my FPL team

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      😆

  22. Steirish
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    If Iwobi goes to Everton is he an option?

    1. sirmorbach
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, but not from the start though. Wait and see

  23. ENZO SZN™
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Could be late-August before Tierney is ready after missing the whole of pre-season following surgery.

    Neil Lennon this week: “He’ll be fit in a week or two. He still has some abductor pain, but I think the pubic problem is starting to settle and he’s over the double hernia."

    @BenDinnery on Tierney

  24. JELLYFISH
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    So is Çaglar Söyüncü a decent punt now that Leics haven't signed a Mguire replacement?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Guess so

    2. La Roja

      Yeah

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Seems so

  25. yanky
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    a) Moura or Martial
    b) Pope Heater or Pope Button & save 0.5

    1. JELLYFISH
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      a) Moura
      b) Pope & Button

    Is this new Brighton defender a risk to Montoya?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sky suggested not really - he's a freshie understudy

  29. jia you
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    And thats a hattrick for Ayoze Perez, what a,debut for the Spainaird! Wolves are a complete shambles...perhaps Thursday's exploits have taken their toll.
