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

3,383 Comments
Share

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.

    Jota owners, not worried about possible tiredness from EL match and long flight back? Or does the fact that he only played 60 mins give you confidence?

    TAA VvD Digne Montoya
    Sterling Perez Trossard Fraser
    Kane Auba

    Very tempted to move Digne into the forward line. Just worried by Jota and EL. Quite tempted by Ings too.

    Unconvinced by Montoya but matches quite nicely with Guaita and will be bench fodder if all goes to plan in 3.

        Greenwood would be on my bench. Forgot to mention Wilson up top.

        Probably end up with a 442 if he's in the squad.

    Gidday chaps how's this squad?

    Heaton (Stek)
    Digne - VVD - TAA/Robbo - Duffy (Lund)
    Salah(C) - Sterling - Perez - Lucas Moura (Dend)
    King - Vardy (Wickham)

    Bench too weak?

    Options I like are:
    A) Vardy, King, Duffy > Wilson, Wood, Zinch
    B) Vardy, Dend > Wood, Felipe Anderson (bench him gw1 then play 4-5-1, transfer Wood, Duffy for 4.5 + City D gw3)

      I have the exact same team at the moment. Though probably won't have Jota by the deadline.
