Recapping the best Wolves players ahead of FPL restart

Wolves are offering a healthy number of viable assets for Fantasy Premier League managers, regardless of their chip strategy.

The next few weeks mean that their players could help out those Free Hitting or Bench Boosting in Double Gameweek 30+ or planning for the long-term.

We are currently recapping which players went into the coronavirus (COVID-19) suspension in the best form, using each club’s last six matches for the analysis.

We have also been assessing the impact of recently appointed new managers in the Premier League, so this series covers the other 15 sides, concluding with Wolves.

As we are sure you understand, a lot has changed since the climax of Gameweek 29, with Premier League players unable to fully train with their team-mates for nearly three months. 

However, it should still serve to know who was performing best before the break.

As this article uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, only those signed up to a valid package can access it in full.

    Still debating between using FH or making use of unlimited transfers and BB this week. Do feel as if there'll never be a better week to BB though...

    If I did FH, I'd revert back to this for 31+ :

    McCarthy (ARS)
    TAA (CRY) - Doherty (BOU) - Holgate (nor)
    Salah (CRY) - Son (WHU) - KDB (che) - Traore (BOU)
    Vardy (BHA) - DCL (nor) - Rashford (SHU)
    (Button - Cantwell - Lascelles - Simpson)

    Thoughts on if I'm best...
    A) FH (revert back to that)
    B) BB (new team for 31+ onwards but no WC)

    Thanks!

    1. goriuanx

      A

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        A

    2. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Why not FH and then BB on 31?

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Button... Simpson...

        Two reasons there

      2. thepuntmaster
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I've got Button and Simpson who are duds that need sorting out before I bench boost...

    3. FPL_DON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Such a tough one but as you dont have a WC, reckon A

    4. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Same situation. I think the unlimited transfers is so tempting but actually think FH is best option

      1. thepuntmaster
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        It's tricky. I don't think I'll get a better chance at using the BB than this week...

    5. Feanor
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      If had BB I would 100% use it this week.

      I used it GW1 and got an extra 21 points. With the double, you should be looking at 30 extra points.

  2. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    There goes my Kun and Jesus combo. Bottom of last page 🙁

    Anyone jumping onboard?

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I was tempted but Mahrez is 1m cheaper than Jesus and probably was City's most in form wide player

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I can make this

      Henderson / Leno
      TAA / Alonso / Doherty / Stevens / Lundstram
      KDB / Grealish / Mount / Barnes / Saka
      Aguero / Jesus / Jimenez

    3. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Nope. Rolling the dice with Sterling. Second highest xGI and the worst xGI delta of -6.86.

  3. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    As and Bs!

    A) Henderson & Saka
    B) Leno/Pope & Fleck

    A) Laporte, Egan & Lascelles
    B) Walker, Baldock & Saiss

    A) Abraham, Luiz & Egan
    B) Jota/Deeney, Fleck & Saiss

    A) McCarthy, Henderson, Saka
    B) Reina, Pope, Fleck

    A) Nketiah, Fernandes, Basham, Ederson (value tied up in Fernandes)
    B) Abraham, D.Luiz, Laporte, Henderson

    On BB this week, FH next week (no WC). Chances of Nketiah playing?

    Cheers

    Just had a look at chelseas last 3

    Alonso james azpi all 3 played 90 mins. Whats the deal here then? Alonso ok to start?

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      That could unfortunately mean nothing now...

    2. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      4 atb the preferred formation, with James RB Azpi LB first choice.

      James however returning from an injury so fitness levels may be a little down, so could be Azpi RB Alonso (or maybe Emerson?) LB.

      Alonso could be a good 1 week punt if you're happy to run the risk, but anything further than that is foolhardy

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Im on bb with wc next week. U think i shd take the gamble then? Thats the only scenario i see where going with alonso makes sense

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah - the temporary wing-back formation was forced by injuries in midfield and on the wings.

        Definitely think we'll revert to a back four - especially with the surplus of midfielders now fit again.

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          U think alonso sits out vs villa?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          So you think Alonso too much of a risk and best to go TAA/Doherty?

  5. gryffsonofarthur
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Which DGW team is the best?

    Team A

    Henderson
    Egan Lascelles Targett
    Grealish Sterling KDB Mount Fleck
    Aubameyang Aguero

    Bench - Leno Bellerin Saiss Samatta

    Team B

    Leno
    Lundstram Egan Targett
    Grealish Sterling KDB Fleck
    Aubameyang Aguero Jiminez

    Bench - Reina Boly Saiss Saka

      Someone please pick a team out of these 2

      1. Nando7
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        B

    2. bc82

      B foe.me

  6. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Play double WOL (whu) defense or play a NEW (SHU) defender?

    1. thepuntmaster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Would play the NEW option

  7. CheesyZoot
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Targett or Soyuncu for 30+?

    Tempted to roll the dice twice with Targett, but Villa defence so bad....

    Would also have to downgrade Baldock to Egan to do the Targett/Soy switch

  8. gryffsonofarthur
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Most nailed Arsenal defender, not including Luiz and the keeper?

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      There isn't one.

    2. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Bellerin

  9. HD7
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Any thoughts would be much appreciated guys?
    BB team, WC next week.
    0.2M spare.

    Hendo, Leno
    TAA, Laporte, Egan, Saiss, Lascelles*,
    KDB, Bruno, Grealish, Mount, Saka
    Aguero, Auba, Jimi

    Maybe Lascelles to Targett?

    1. FPL_DON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      really like it, wouldn't go near Targett myself

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks bro

  10. FPL_DON
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on the below BB team would be massively appreciated! Still slightly tempted by FH to conserve team value but currently on the below:

    Henderson McCarthy
    TAA Egan O'Connell Lascelles Boly
    Sterling Mane KDB Grealish Luiz
    Aguero DCL (bought him at 5.9m) Jota

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Looks nice. Guessing you have no WC left?

      1. FPL_DON
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks for your comment mate.

        I actually do have my WC, but have large chunks of value tied up in the likes of Mane, DCL and TAA. What would you change? It kills me a little bit inside losing all this value haha

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          3 city attack, 3 Sheff def and Grealish are main things so you are covered there. Arsenal/Auba could hurt you. I also much prefer Jimmy over Jota

          1. FPL_DON
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Thanks mate, I could have Auba instead of Sterling but prefer the cheaper strikers to mids.

            Agree re Jimi, however, sadly I don't have the funds.

    2. HD7
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Looks good. Maybe contemplate if DCL is gonna be in form again after the restart

      1. FPL_DON
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah, I do feel like he'll continue to score this season but we shall see!

  11. laGan1n1
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Leno or Bellerin ?

    1. gryffsonofarthur
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Leno

  12. gryffsonofarthur
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    My dilemma too. In fairness can't go wrong with 2 of Boly Saiss Lascelles.

  13. yer old da
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    12 doublers confirmed for the BB - in for a penny in for a pound.

    Who likes the look of my '12 plus Trent, Bruno and Lascelles' lineup?

    Leno
    Lundstram, O'Connell, Egan
    KDB, Mahrez, Grealish, Saka
    Aguero(c), Aubameyang, Samatta

    BB: Reina, TAA, Fernandes, Lascelles

    1. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Sheffield might let you down

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Looks decent. A few might only get the one game but worth a punt

    3. FPL_DON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Very strong mate

    4. gryffsonofarthur
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Nice team

    5. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Triple City attack and the Arsenal gk? Leno is either an effective SGW player or you have too much City attack

  14. gryffsonofarthur
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Bellerin worth a punt? Would be instead of Saka.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Over Saka yes

  15. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Are there any pressers before the deadline? Think I’m all set otherwise for a BB then WC.

    Leno. Hendo
    TAA. Stevens. Saiss. O’Connell. Targett
    KDB. Grealish. Mount. Mahrez. Cantwell
    Auba. Agüero. Jiménez

    1. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Some, but personally not expecting many given they're usually Thursday Friday. You should be all good.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks matey

    2. FPL_DON

      Strong side mate

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA

        Cheers mate

    3. Karan14
      • 8 Years

      City presser tom.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks

  16. Scratch
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Right here's my first crack at this

    Ederson, Henderson
    O'Connell, Egan, TAA, Targett, Saiss
    Grealish, McGinn, KDB, Saka, Fernandes
    Auba, Aguero, Jimenez BB

    Still have WC2, FH

  17. Threat Level Midnight
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Kun/Egan
    Jesus/Robbo

    For this GW only then Jesus would become Kane.

    1. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Isn’t choosing jesus over aguero massively risky? Not sure I’d do it

  18. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Is basham a good pick if you already have egan and o’connell and are struggling for cash?

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Not for me

      1. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Why not?

  19. Rover
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    I've got the core of my squad down to choosing one of these combinations:

    Leno Reina
    Saiss Stevens Lundstram Justin Lascelles
    Sterling KdB Bruno Grealish *******
    Vardy Jimenez *******

    A) Auba + Fleck
    B) Aguero + Saka
    C) Abraham + Mahrez
    D) Laca/Jesus + Mount

    Plan is to BB30+ and WC33+ with captaincy this GW going to Sterling/KdB

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      C could be good differentials

    2. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      B

    3. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      D Jesus

  20. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    No BB and a lot of value tied up...

    Pope/Hendo
    Saiss, TAA, Lascelles, Taylor, Egan
    Salah, Mane, Dendoncker, Saka, KDB
    Vardy, Ings, Jimi

    My FH team would be
    Hendo/Button
    Egan/Stevens/Lascelles (Hanley/Simpson)
    Salah/Kdb/Grealish/Mahrez (1st sub Saka)
    Auba/Kun/Jimi

    Thoughts?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I think I am FH got lot of value to lose & no one has any form since Covid?

  21. Floyd69
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Saka (mci/bha) or Cantwell (SOU) for a final BB mid (before WC in 31)? Prefer Cantwell tbh but DGW is messing with my head. Might just toss a coin.

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Saka

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      One player of Norwich has covid, puts me off them

      1. Tinkermania
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Will happen to other teams too sooner or later.

  22. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    What combo do you prefer?

    A Jimenez Mount
    B Abraham Doherty

    Different formations on FH

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      A

    3. Karan14

    Villa 2 clean sheets

    You heard it here first

    1. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I'm afraid this would be the last of it

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Next season in the Championship?

      1. Floyd69
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Brilliant

    3. Feanor
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I doubt they get 2 CS the rest of the season.

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      They've had 4 all season. That would be one heck of a marked improvement!

    5. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      The hotel maids at the Villa Hotel need to be sacked.

      Put down the empty whiskey bottle

  24. HNI
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Have 10mn budget for 2 Sheffield players so sadly cant go Stevens + Lundstram
    I am tempted with O'Connel + Lundstram especially after his brace vs hull in friendly but will he play both dgw games?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Don't assume Lundstram will play both games. You won't get confirmation that he will before the GW starts, either.

      Although, if he plays one game he could outscore everyone. You have to weigh up and take the risk in you think it's worth it.

      1. HNI
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I am punting on Saka as well over Cantwell as have Wc for gw 31. Saka playing in front 3 in friendly has tempted me. Must be most uncertain BB i ever played

      2. HNI
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Which combo you going with? Safer combo is Stevens + O'Connell right?

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          That's safer. I'm tempted by Lundstram & Stevens or O'Connell. though.

  25. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Is the general consensus that Stevens or Baldock are better picks than Fleck? I.e. going from a 434 to a 443?

    1. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      sorry from a 343 to 433 I meant to say

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      It's not a consensus. Newcastle & Aston Villa are both some of the worst teams from set pieces, and Fleck is on corners.

      Could be good for the likes of Egan & O'Connell too though.

      1. Rinseboy
