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.

      It's very good

      good

    How seriously can we take Arsenal or Chelsea defensive options after the transfers?
    I assume Zouma is the obvious beneficiary in the immediate sense?

    1. Yome
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Yes 100% nailed now

    2. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I'm thinking of starting with Zouma, fantastic value

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years

      Weird to think there will be a nailed on Chelsea defender at 5.0 who isn't hyped at all

    4. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Interesting reading some Chelsea fan comments - they fear that playing out from the back will be a thing of the past with Zouma and Christensen

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Might Christensen be the better option? Chelsea fans?

    Anyone considering players that have moved today?

      No as far too punty for gameweek 1, monitor how they do over opening gameweeks

    Good luck all.

    Hope to go with this.

    Any last minute suggestions?

    1m in the bank for 1st transfer

    Henderson 4.0
    TAA VVD Zinch (Coleman 4.0)
    Salah Siggy Fraser Perez Trossard
    Vardy (4.5) Wilson

    1. Yome
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I would spend the 1m, you then have a better team right from the start

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      No captaincy options. Would lose Vardy and Wilson and get either Kane/Auba/Sterling.

    3. Benditlike
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      You need offensive city

    4. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks guys. Good points

    5. Dr Mulholland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Looks like a strong team.
      Coleman on the bench though?
      Trossard maybe a bit of a punt.
      Only one big hitter/Captaincy option with Salah limits you.

      1. Champ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks. I will need that alternative for sure for Salah

  9. nobwak
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Pope, button,
    Robertson, Kwp, Zivchenko, Digne, Kelly
    Siggy, Salah, Sterling, Perez, Dendonkeydick,
    King, Vardy, Greenwood

    Thoughts?

    1. Benditlike
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Kwp, Zinchenko, Kelly not safe. If you are really unlucky you end up with two playing defenders. Either kwp or Zinchenko to a safe starter.

  10. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    So Andy Carrol.

    Not even listed. Shame as would have been cheap!

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Probably be quite cheap anyway.

  12. Catastrophe

    RMT appreciated!

    Pope
    VVD, Robertson, Digne, KWP/Zouma, Montoya
    Salah, Sterling, Bilva, Robinson
    Kane

    (Button, Dendoncker, Wickham, Greenwood)

    Cheers!

    1. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Zouma over KWP (or transfer KWP after GW1?). Dont like Bilva.
      My bench has the same value as yours 😀

      1. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers. Why no Bilva love? Great player no Sane, Mahrez not returned yet (apparently)?

      2. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Comforting to hear I'm not the only one with this bench 🙂 let's just hope Dendoncker doesn't haul too early

  13. Gregorini
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Ok have this now, thoughts appreciated

    Ederson
    VVD/AWB/Boly/Ake
    Salah/Sterling/Grealish/Rice
    Kane/Rashford

    Bench: Button/Greenwood/Dendoncker/Stearman

  14. Visionaries
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Have King and Salah

    A Fraser, Rashford & Digne

  23. The Rock
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Strikers are a bit tricky this year i fell? Currently on Wilson and Jimenez (Not as convinced) and think i will settle on that!

    So many good midfielders to pick from!

    1. beric
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Im looking at Jiminez, Adams and Delofeou...but I'm not all that convinced

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Really tricky, though the likes of Kean and Abraham May emerge.

  24. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Moura and Coleman

    Or

    Wood and Laporte

    1. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Wood Laporte

  25. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Zaha stays, Milivojevic still an option

  26. TAT
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Which is better, option 1 or 2? Option 1 is what I currently have, while option 2 is a way to safely get into that City def.

    Heaton* (Button)
    VvD - TAA/Robbo - Digne - Zinchenko* (Lundstram)
