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.

    This preseason went on too long. I'm gonna miss all the players I owned in July when they score lol. BSilva, Siggy, Jota, Ryan all fell through the cracks 🙁

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Along with about 50 other players

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

        Haha. I have "owned" all of them at some point. And connor wickham, greenwood, grealish, barkley etc etc

  4. The-Red-1

    • 9 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Nailed it!

    Pope (Button)
    VVD, Laporte, Digne, (Dunk, Lundstram)
    Salah, Perez, McGinn, Barkley, Sterling
    Kane, Wesley, (Greenwood)

    1. The Train Driver
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Kane and Wesley will get you 2-3 goals next 5 gws...

    2. Hiddenpaw
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      ASS over SSK I think

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

    A) Wilson and Barkley
    B) King and Martial

    1. theswallow1965
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      A

  6. balint84
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    have Coleman-Zinchenko-VanDijk-Kiko Fem
    AND LUNDSTRAM

    How to upgrade him?
    Who shoul I sell from the defence lads?

    1. theswallow1965
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Coleman/Zink > Zouma?
      Lund > 4.5

      1. balint84
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        Cole or Zinch to sell?

        1. theswallow1965
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 15 days ago

          Depends on the rest of your team really. I think I would rather own Zinch but he may well be short term.

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

      Coleman and Zinchenko both risky. Think you need to take funds from further up the pitch. Get Digne maybe.

  7. Tsparkes10
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Ahhh wanted Wanyama or Amartey but owell.

  8. Loftus cheeky nandos
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Why are spurs defenders being overlooked. 5.5 for vertonghen who’s nailed

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

      Not by me, going with Vert in a back four.

    2. Podge
      • 15 Years

      Maybe after city

    With Leicester not signing a Maguire replacement, who's filling his spot? Söyüncü? Morgan?

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Soyuncu.. Morgan is 35 and past it by the looks of it.

  11. Fernando Torres
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    A) Salah + Rico
    B) KDB + Josh King

    1. Fernando Torres
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Sorry A is Sterling + Rico

  12. The Train Driver
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Doherty is like Alonso, will have to own no matter fixtures or price..

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

    Is Doherty the new Doherty?

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

    A lot of Heaton floating around.

    Do people see any/many CS’ for Villa before GW7/8?

    1. Meinhoff
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Save points

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

        Burnley is your spot for that type of thing.

    2. Pompel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      I don't , so doubling up with Pope

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Good fixtures and FPL royalty. What's not to like?

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

        Don’t think they’re good fixtures, defensively, nor are the defenders in front of him.

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Do people see any with Pope or Ryan?

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

        Tried and tested Prem defences at least, albeit not great still.

        Think Pope is the pick of the poor bunch though.

    5. JELLYFISH
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      I've been pondering this for a while and have decided on Pope, but only because I prefer the Villa defensive options (and don't want to doible up)

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

    Just seen a fit and healthy Norwich team boarding flight to Liverpool, for anyone who cares!

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

      Just Klose, Zimmerman, Tettey and Thompson ruled out.

  16. Toby Lerone
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Best 4.0 defender?

    Currently on gibson

    1. TeddiPonza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Lundstram

    2. SPFC
      • 11 Years

      Lundstram

      1. pablo discobar
        • 16 Years

        Not any more

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

          he's a starting doubt now isn't he? Isn't Rico nailed?

        2. Toby Lerone
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 15 days ago

          Yeah read he won't start

          1. TeddiPonza
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 15 days ago

            Why is that?

          2. Gentle_Turks
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years

            Burnley Gibson I presume?

            1. TeddiPonza
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 15 days ago

              Meant why isn't Lundstram likely to start anymore..

          3. Gentle_Turks

    Which option would you prefer?

    A. King, Martial and Perez.

    Thanks..

    1. Evasivo

    Digne Ake Robertson Cathcart Zouma
    KDB Salah Barkely Dendocker Rice
    Kane C.Wilson Jota

    Thoughts??

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

    Jimenez G Jota A

  20. Ask Yourself
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Doherty is way better value than Digne for 6m.

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

      I doubt it

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

      not in the first few weeks, that's a lot of red

  21. pablo discobar
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Besic to Sheffield United surely ends lundstrum as a 4 mil option

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Rip Lundy

  22. Jimmy Boy
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Is a rotating Burnley/Villa pair of 4.5m defenders a better choice than Walker-Peters?

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

      I feel so, or maybe Burnley/WH?

      1. Jimmy Boy
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        Don't trust West Ham's defence. Would really like to find someone that could rotate nicely with Montoya of Brighton but they don't seem to rotate well with anyone fixture-wise

  23. Tsparkes10
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Jota haul again inbound. Hmmm very tempting

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Ready for the bench GW1 and cutrone starting

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

    1. Jimmy Boy
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Between him and Adams for me

    Thoughts?

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

      B by a long long way

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

      I like Vardy but B all the way. Not even close!

  29. Pompel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 15 days ago

    Any of the 4.5 defenders (Ward/Dann/Cahill) from Crystal Palace reasonable nailed to use for a rotation pair? Thinking they should be defensively more sound than the newly promoted teams

    1. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Ward is nailed.

      Palace should be ok defensively imo. The preseason bad results all came with reserves in defence or goal.

      When Guaita and a first choice centre back start the record is very good. The question is whether AWB absence changes the equation significantly. I’m doubting that it will be as big as many suppose. It’s a RH defence.

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

        Txs Palace/Brighton rotation doesn't look half bad atually, except GW12

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

    Guess it’s kind of a club toss but Heaton or Pope?

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

      Pope
