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.

    Now that sane is out I feel Zinchenko is abit safer again been as he’s the only left foot available

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      I hate to break it to you but all the players have a left foot (and a right foot)

      1. Pumpkinhead
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        This - If he plays another shocking game they'll just put someone else there. Laporte and play Stones and Ota in the middle.

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Laporte starting LB on Saturday would be peak Pep!

        A boy can dream...

    3. The Suspended One

      Cancelo plays both sides

        Kinky

        1. yakirh

          Ha!

    4. Indalo

      Mendy, Angelino, Silva x2, Mahrez, Foden...

      1. Indalo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        and Laporte

    1. Brehmeren
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      You might not have any starting bench players. Way too risky.

  3. Atters
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    A) Lucas Moura & King
    Or
    B) Fraser & Jota

    1. danlynch13
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      B

    2. Marty McFly
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Close. I think A.

    3. *Reformed-Character*
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      B comfortably for me

  4. BOATIES FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Ryan
    Robbo VVD Maguire Zin
    Salah KDB B Silva Perez
    Kane King
    Button Dendonker Rico Wickham

    I think the Sane news has made B Silva a really good option now.

    1. BooYaKasha
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Maguire and Zinchenko are punts

      1. BOATIES FC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        Maguire is nailed surely? cant see United breaking the world record for a bench warmer.
        I think Zin will start for the first few weeks at least

        1. BooYaKasha
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 15 days ago

          Maguire will start, but we don't know how well they'll do, a wait and see imo
          Zinchenko is a risk

  5. In Carrick we trust
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Hi people, how this team looking? Please leave me some feedback,

    Pope
    Robertson, chilwell, ake, dunk
    Salah, sterling, martial, perez
    Aubameyang, king

    Heaton, greenwood, Dendoncker, Lundstram

    1. BooYaKasha
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Auba is killing your team

      1. In Carrick we trust
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        ?

        1. BooYaKasha
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 15 days ago

          Spread the funds around
          Poor defense

    2. Whiskerz
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      I think the defense is too weak.

      0.5 too much spent on gk.

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      All these teams with 3 premium look weak to me. This is no different.. I'll probably be the one regretting it though

      1. Warby84
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        But after GW 2 you can reassess with the freebie..

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 15 days ago

          All them 3 , Kane and Kun come with a set of handcuffs..it isn't that easy

      2. Brosstan
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        Im with you mate. Lets see how it goes with 2 premiums

    4. Marty McFly
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Good for 3 big hitters. Personally I’d downgrade a keeper and just set and forget. Use the money to upgrade Ake. Yes they have good fixtures but they’re so leaky defensively.

      Or just straight swap for Zouma?

    5. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Arsenal
      Strong attack & weak Defense 😉

    6. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      an auba/kane team cannot afford the 7.5 midfielder imo

      1. In Carrick we trust
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        Whats guna be a better option a 7.5 mf or a premium striker?

  6. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Shorter version for screaming through comments/pages...

    1) Robinson; Wood, Jimenez
    2) Fraser; Greenwood, Jimenez
    3) Siggy; Jota, Long

      Very good Amey, cant really knock it apart from not been sold on Montoya...GL!

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        Thank you 🙂
        I'm also not sure about him. Rotation allows good fixtures with Guilbert so ...
        You still on BB??

        1. jia you
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 15 days ago

          Yeah pretty set on it, need Rico to start now though after swapping out Joelinton for Jota. He should though.

          1. Amey
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 15 days ago

            Cool

  8. jia you
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Bye bye Joelinton, Hello Jota after that little warm up...I'm a fickle one really! (Rico better start now or I'll be pissed off lol)

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Everyone has been negative about Jota - now one decent output against randoms and he is all the rage!

      #teamJota

      1. jia you
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        typical FFS this and I normally avoid such rash moves but I guess I wasnt really sold on Joelinton anyway so was an excuse to shove him out! All aboard the Diogo express!

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Nice 🙂

  9. BooYaKasha
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    De Gea, Zinchenko, Dedoncker (442)
    Or
    Ederson, Rico, McGinn (352)
    ?

    1. TKC07
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      B..

      If you're fan of rotation..
      GK => Pope & Heaton
      Def => any $4.5 def.
      Mind => Trossard/Grealish.

  10. Carlos L
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Have GKs and DFs sorted but am playing around with MFs and FWs.

    Unsure about 3 slots. What option below seems best and why?

    1. KDB + Barkley + Kane
    2. B Silva + Milivojevic + Kane
    3. Sterling + Milovojevic

    Rest of MFs and FWs: Salah, Sigurdsson, King

  11. Poppa Klopp
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Greenwood now Lukaku has left

    1. Poppa Klopp
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Is he a crazy cheap option?

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      is a great option I agree

    3. Oooof
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      I think he’ll come on as sub against Chelsea

  12. Cuchu
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Which combo for my 4th and 5th MID in a long term?

    a) Maddison & JWP
    b) Maddison & Almiron
    c) Perez & JWP
    d) Perez & Almiron
    e) Almiron & JWP

    Currently on a) but having second thoughts on that...

  13. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    This is me. Wildcarding GW3 so building my team baser on that.

    Ryan
    Robbo VVD KWP Rico
    Salah KDB Moura Fraser
    Auba Wilson

    Button Dendoncker Wickham Lundstram

    I know its risky playing Rico. Any way to improve the front 6?

  14. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    A - Aubameyang + Perez
    B - Jota + KDB

    1. Nutmeg Ninja
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      A

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      A costs 1.5 more

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      B

  15. Siggy in the Middle
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    I feel happy with my team for the most part (only reason I'm worried is because it's tomorrow is deadline) but not having Sterling is making me nervous. I feel like KDB+ 2.5 can compensate but Sterling's PPG are very impressive

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Get both

  16. The Final Boss
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Zinchenko or kwp who is more nailed?

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Neither

    2. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Zinky will get 15-20 starts over the season probably
      KwP good for a couple of weeks (1 given wk2 is city away) before Aurier/Foyth start coming into the picture

  17. Nutmeg Ninja
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    A. Walker + Coleman
    B. Zinchenko + Digne

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years

      B

  18. Over Midwicket

        And which one are you?

        1. TheDragon
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 15 days ago

          I’m a professional sheep

    2. Dannyb

      No

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      He was in my team for ages and have been insisting he is the best 6.5 option

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        He started last year for them and didnt score until december, that was with no europa... i think we can pump the brakes folks...

    4. Rainer

    8. Marty McFly
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      No. Wickham scored against my 7 a side team last week. Maybe we should all get him too.

  19. yer old da
    • 16 Years

    How’s this for a non-Kane team?

    Pope/Heaton
    VVD, Laporte, Digne, Dunk/Cathcart
    Salah, Sterling, Siggy, Perez
    Jimenez, King

  20. The SK
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Which option?

    A) Fraser+Wesley
    B) Trossard+Jimenez

    Thanks in advance!

    1. Oooof
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

    Ederson
    Digne - VVD - Robertson
    salah - sterling - zaha - moutinho
    king - wilson - jota

    button - dendoncker - kelly - reid

    Any thoughts?

    1) do i need to change zaha or not?with who?
    2) jota or not?
    3) salah and sterlin together?

    1. Oooof
      • 11 Years

      Zaha is wait and see for me now

      1. Tosa86

  24. yer old da

    Managed to shoehorn Sterling and KDB in!

    Heaton/Pope
    VVD, Laporte, Digne, Dunk/Cathcart

    Jota, King

  25. Garlana
    • 11 Years

    Jiminez with another brace tonight, getting hard to ignore even if it's against weaker teams.

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Jota’s three assists scores more points though.

      1. Brosstan
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        Jimi 3bps makes it the same score

  26. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    RMT lads, RMT

    Ederson
    Azpi - Dunk - Lascelles - VVD - CTaylor
    Sterling - Robinson - Sigurdsson - Fraser - Stephens
    Jimenez - Kane - Wilson

  27. Football Heaven
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    I own Fraser and Wilson.
    Should I go risky with king or go with jota?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Jota

    2. Hog Roast Junkie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Jota

    • 14 Years

    Brighton fans - I need to be convinced about Locadia. There's not much at 5.5m.

    It'd enable:
    Pope
    Robertson, Digne, Dunk
    Salah, Sterling, Perez, Martial
    Kane, King, Locadia

    Other option is to go 352 and get 5.5 Robinson in midfield.

    1. Oooof
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      They’ve just bought a striker today haven’t they?

    2. Hog Roast Junkie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Locadia to Greenwood and get a decent fourth def

  29. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
