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.

        Sorry but he's not a class player at all. He's part of the deadwood at Arsenal, and 40 million for him is nuts. Same age as Sane and look at the difference.

          Okay but i’m Not saying he is sane. Very different players. Why sell Iwobi when your backs ups are so bad in Nelson and Saka who have done absolutely nothing at any decent level?

        Thanks!

        I've considered that myself and it is indeed my major doubt for now. But here's where I'm coming from: Coleman will surely start GW1, Sidibe won't play yet, so I'm safe for now. What if he starts really well? Then I'll have a good defender and I can easily upgrade Robinson to, say, Mount/Barkley.

        I *think* I'll take the Coleman risk.

        But I very much appreciate your thoughts, mate, i really do. Other than that, do you think I'm set?
