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.

    Could it be more template? But it’s template for a reason.

    Pope 4.0
    Robbo, VVD, Digne, AWB 4.0
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Perez 4.5
    Jota, King 4.5

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

      Jota is anti template

      AWB is smashing the template apart

    Is anyone considering Ceballos?

    1. Alexon00
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Really no

    2. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Will do when he's fit.

    3. Mr. Grv
      • 11 Years

      no

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Not fit yet, one for the watchlist

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

      Just wait and see where he fits in during the first few weeks

  3. Polar_Bear
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    RMT please?

    Pope (Steklenburg)
    TAA, Robertson, Digne, Montoya, Lundstram
    Salah, Sterling, Barkley, Trossard, Dedonker
    Vardy, King, Jota

    Would like to save 0.5 so I can easily jump from Vardy to Aguero & Sterling to KDB but can't see where. Montoya to 4? Don't want promoted 5.5 mid until proving worth.

    Thanks

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

        What would you do with 12 in midfield then? Or ideally 11.5?

    Think I'm done, GTG?

    Pope (Heaton)
    Robbo, VVD, Catchcart (Dunk, Lunds) rotating
    Salah, KDB, Perez, Trossard (Donk)

    1. Mr. Grv

      personal opinion -
      rotating gks always ends in tears

      1. drilsby
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        I know. It just seems so orderly and professional.
        Just brought heaton in.
        I was thinking about it anyway.

    2. BooYaKasha
      • 15 Years

      2 x 4.5 forwards will get you into trouble very quickly, a bit of a dead end

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

        Cheers. Hopefully a risk worth taking!

      Nice team there..

      1. Catastrophe

    Why are pope owners not concerned about Hart?

    1. Moore FPL
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Coz he's shite lol

      1. Dannyb

    2. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Because we've seen Hart play.

    3. drilsby
      • 10 Years

      Too scared to post

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

      Agreed, but he played quite a bit last year, even after pope was supposedly healthy if I remember correctly

  8. keeney
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Logging out of FPL & starting with this.

    Alisson
    VVD Stones Chambers
    L-Moura Salah Wilson DeBruyne
    Kean Ings aubameyang

    Button, Neves, Chambers, Mings

    1. Tony Soprano
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      You must really rate Chambers....

  9. Moore FPL
    • 12 Years

    Is triple Bournemouth attack mental?

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Yes

    2. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Depends if it's King, Ibe and Solanke.

      1. Moore FPL
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        Damn, I may need to change it! 😀

    3. Manani
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      thought about it but went for Jota instead of King in the end

      1. Moore FPL
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        Yeah, King is the one I'm least sure on but I prefer him to the other 6.5's...

    4. _nod
      • 13 Years

      Not if you are playing your wc gw3

    5. RubberDucky
      7 years, 15 days ago

      I had Wilson/Fraser
      Then King/Fraser
      Now Fraser.

    Why no love for Bobby Firmino? Am I missing something?

    1. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Can't have them all.

    2. Alexon00
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      I too

    3. Moore FPL
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Pool slots are precious

    4. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Great shout. Most lining up Salah + 2 LIV defs, but going 2 LIV attackers and 1 defender is just as enticing. Would eat up over 25% of your budget though.

  12. FPL ElasticO
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Guys!!! How is this latest draft??? Feeling lot confident on this.....

    Ryan
    Robbo/ VVD/ Digne
    Sterling/ Salah/ Perez/ Trossard/ Dendoncker
    Kane/ King

    Bench:: Button/ Greenwood/ Guilbert/ Lundstram

    1. Our Tiny Windows
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Dendoncker belongs on the bench

  13. ㅤRising
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Best 4.0 option in defence ??

    1. FPL ElasticO
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Lundstram

      1. FPL.team
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        Does Besic not threaten him?

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

          Im interested in that answer as well.

    2. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Lundstram played quite a bit (defender playing out of position in midfield) in pre-season for Sheff Utd.

      Diego Rico another option from BOU, but competition for his spot in that team.

  14. Mr. Grv
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    My first and final draft 🙂 .

    Heaton
    walker-pieters Digne AAT
    Barkley Salah KDB Martial Perez
    wilson ayuba

    Thoughts? All the remaining are deadwood.

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

      I like the looks of that mate

      1. Mr. Grv
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        Yup decided that i was only gonna make the team on the last day 🙂

    2. KwazyKing
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      I have Heaton too,

      Heaton
      VVD, MAGUIRE, AKE, ZOUMA
      STERLING, KDB, PEREZ,
      ABUMA, KING, KANE

  15. Tomlette Greggs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    What combination would you rather begin the season with:

    A) VVD + Trossard + Pickford (also have Digne)
    or
    B) Jota + Robertson + Heaton/Pope
    ?

    Thoughts appreciated.

  16. Godfrey
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Leno seems a good option now...

    1. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      ...because of David Luiz?

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

        Yes. Already liked him as a 5.0 option. Now he seems even better with Luiz instead of Mustafi.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      I think he's a good choice too. But not many would agree!

    3. Galza
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      If I had 5 mil to spend on a keeper, it would be him...

  17. Nespinha
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Tell me this team is bad, and that Im crazy to think its good from gw2 onwards

    Pope
    Robertson, VVD, Zouma
    Salah, KDB, Siggy, Buendia
    Aguero, King, Wesley

  18. ☈☾

    Arsenal scammed Everton and Chelsea

    1. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      They've got 60M from EVE for Walcott + Iwobi. Crazy.

      1. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        It's like Liverpool getting so much from Bournemouth for Ibe and Solanke.

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

      Well they scammed Everton for sure

  19. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Button and Alexander-Arnold, or Heaton and Van Dijk? Also got Robertson and my other keeper is Pope.

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      BTAA for me

  20. FC Bama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Struggling a bit with Digne. Any worries about fewer clean sheets with Zouma-less Everton backline? Stated differently, what are your predictions on Digne's total points haul for the year?

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Add to that the fact that Gueye has also left.

  21. Alexon00
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Guys I need help! Please!

    Which one looks better??

    A) Henderson/Ryan
    Robbo | TAA | KWP | Zouma
    Salah | Siggy | Jorginho | KDB
    Wilson | Kane
    Subs: McGovern, Kelly, Dendocker, Greenwood.

    B) Ederson
    Robbo | VVD | KWP | Zouma
    Salah | Jorginho | KDB
    Wilson | Kane | King
    Subs: McGovern, Kelly, Hayden, Dendocker. 1.0 itb

    C) Ederson
    TAA| Robertson | Azpi | KWP
    Salah | Jorginho | Morrison
    Kane | Wilson | Auba
    Subs: McGovern, Kelly, Hayden, Dendocker

    • 9 Years

    Final decision comes down too:

    A. Wilson & siggy
    B. King & KDB

    1. Alexon00
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Have Sterling?

      1. jake0910
        • 9 Years

        Yeah got sterling

    2. TheDragon
      • 8 Years

      One of those is way better than the other

  24. MadeinIreland
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    OMG - running out of time!

    What about this team? Which are the biggest risks to not play?

    Ederson ( Button)
    VVD, TAA, Digne, (Guilbert, Rico)
    Salah, Sterling, Perez, Barkley, (Dendocker)
    Wilson, Jota, Adams

    Thanks...

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Rico, Barkley and Dendocker over time.

  25. BUZZBOMB ♡
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    If your current front 3 was Wilson-Adams-Wesley, would you sacrifice KDB, Wesley and Adams for Barkley, AUBA/KANE and 4.5 (Greenwood?).

    S and S team at the moment.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Depends who you play in the new team as it's 3 out 2 in.

      1. BUZZBOMB ♡
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        Thanks TM. I can still cover 12 playing. My main concern is Barkley. Sticking for now I think.

  26. fc_skrald
    • 11 Years

    Double Sheffield Utd too much?

    Heaton
    TAA, Robertson, Digne
    Salah, Sterling, Fraser, Robinson
    Wilson, Vardy, Greenwood

    4.0, Hayden, Lundstram, Rico

  27. Cojones of Destiny
    • 8 Years

    would want Vardy if u had Pérez and vise versa ?

    Is Lacazette going to be fit for the first gameweek? Not seen many mentions of him in teams either

  29. No Professionals

    7 years, 15 days ago

    Hey, what do you think of this

    Pope
    Robbo VVD Zinchenko Carhcart
    Salah Sterling Martial Trossard
    Kane Ings

    Usual on bench

    1. Croaker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Nice. Like the Ings pick: think he’ll do well until he gets crocked

  30. Croaker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    How nailed is KWP? With Man City and Arsenal in the first 4 games I don’t really understand the appeal?
