Fantasy Premier League managers have been denied a £4.5m route into Wolves defence for their opening match of the season.

Ruben Vinagre (£4.5m) has been named on the bench for the Gameweek 1 trip to Sheffield United, joined there by Oskar Buur (£4.0m).

Despite Nuno Espirito Santo declaring in his Friday press conference that new signing Fernando Marçal (£5.0m) needed time to adapt to Wolves’ style of playing, the manager has started him at left wing-back anyway.

With Matt Doherty (£6.0m) having left the club for Spurs, Adama Traoré (£6.5m) has been trusted with the wing-back position on the other side of the pitch, rather than 22-year-old Buur.

Also on the Wolves bench is recently reclassified FPL midfielder Diogo Jota (£6.5m), beaten to a place in the front-three by Daniel Podence (£5.5m) and Pedro Neto (£5.5m).

The two wide-men flank Raúl Jiménez (£8.5m) who comes into Gameweek 1 with 18.5% worldwide ownership.

John Egan (£5.0m) and John Lundstram (£5.5m) are the most fashionable Sheffield United assets for tonight’s game, sat in 16.6% and 12.7% of teams respectively.

Both feature in the Blades’ starting line-up, which also includes Jack O’Connell (£5.0m), who missed every pre-season game, while the summer’s top-scorer Billy Sharp (£6.0m) features alongside Oli McBurnie (£6.0m).

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI (3-4-3): Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Boly; Marçal, Dendoncker, Moutinho, Traoré; Podence, Jiménez, Neto.

Sheffield United XI (3-5-2): Ramsdale; O’Connell, Egan, Basham; Stevens, Fleck, Norwood, Lundstram, Baldock; McBurnie, Sharp.

        Double up on WC is my plan. Saiss + Marcal.

      I noticed it as well, he's playing mid

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        No he isnt

  8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years

    Saiss is essential here

  9. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Not gonna lie Saiss looks essential

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    McGoldrick on locks in the Wolves CS.

  11. FPL Blow-In

    Martinez was on the market and they went for Ramsdale? Don’t get it...

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Ok maybe I do...

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Romero would surely be a good buy for a team.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah I agree

  12. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years

    Rumors that Kai starts

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Lineups are out. He starts.

  13. ace3.1415

    Stop it Saiss! You're making my life difficult.

  14. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Saiss can wait a week

  15. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Neves inc.

    Only 1 sub left for Wolves, likely the kid for Jimmy late on. Should be no Vinagre.

  16. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Problem with Saiss is he always gets YC

    Confession

    Doubt I’d be playing fantasy now were it not for Jimmy. Took 44 hits in my first season (about 4 for KdB 🙂 ) but had Jim ever present from day 3/4. Those 5.5 heroics just kept me playing and even got me respectability. Probably would have given up were it not for him and given up when a miserable 2 mill plus half way through

    Not always about who gets the most points is it? Took Jim to teach me that

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Depends why you play. I'm regularly in poor ranks, but how many of you can say you captained Lundstram or Shaw succesfully last season?

    2. Drexl Spivey
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Hits work for some. Nine times out of ten mine just end up meh. Only took one last year.

  18. Oooof
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Get my first look at Timo in my team.

    No Pulisic but I pick up some delicious jam off the bench in Mitchell’s six points.

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Trent to Saiss and Werner to Vardy?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Vardy was garbage, already took him out DCL

    2. ReindeerHotdog
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Can't tell if this is satire or not.

      1. Limbo
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Shatire

    3. Vazza
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Is your knee jerking?

  20. BenDavies
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Come on Sheffield lets get that goal

  21. EgyptianKing
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    No Vinagre then?

  22. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    I started with 5x 5mil defenders and none of them are Saiss 😆 😆

    1. BenDavies
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      The real question is why you would have 5 x 5mil defenders

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Because I think there is a lot of value to be had in that range

  23. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    This game needs Vinagre to block Mitchel points

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      To late

    2. Vazza
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I think he was warming up earlier ready to come on

  24. Apwilkin
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Late Egan goal? Is that so much to ask for?

    1. Fudgy
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Yes because I own him and I'm not that lucky

      1. Apwilkin
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        So you’re saying I can blame my problems on you? And not my terrible decision making?

        1. Fudgy
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Yes exactly that

  25. KGFC
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Damn it someone help Ramsdale get one more save

  26. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Hmm... 🙂

    A. Ings >> Martial(C)
    B. Ings+Pulisic >> DCL+Bruno(C) -4

    1. Under my Cucurella
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      My dilemma is similar

      A: Ings > Martial
      B: Ings/Son > DCL/Bruno (-4)

      I want to stick with A as it was original plan and avoids the -4 but B seems a popular option as well

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

        Yeah. Depends which Man U asset you want and if you’ll captain them. Dcl fixtures look tasty too

  27. Ask Yourself
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Need a Reece James haul to save my GW

    1. BenDavies
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Think you'll have to settle for a CS

  28. KGFC
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Now Vinegar on thr bench 😛

  29. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Podence reminds me of Hazard. Similar technique and moves the same

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I like him since watching him as sub end of last season

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Thorgan I assume?

  30. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…

    Neat little player this Podence isn’t he
