Vinagre and Jota benched as Lundstram reclaims Sheff Utd midfield berth

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.

    What do u think of getting coleman instead of Digne?
    Digne is absolutely better but you can save 1m by getting coleman

      Need a space for a Chelsea mid imo

      Could just shift Rich back. Too much Everton anyway. After 45 mins not sure triple Everton was looking that clever.

      Note too my regular stat about Palace away. It’s not a good fixture. 13 cs and 17 goals conceded in last 22 matches against non top 8 oppo. Doesn’t improve much if you look at bottom 16 and not bottom 12.

      I think I agree with all . . . Eddie will now score two from the bench.

    Is today Wolves starting XI the lowest amount of Portuguese players they've started in the PL under Nuno? At 4, I feel it is.

    Marcal is old. He may pull a hammy after 5 mins. I’m old and do it all the time.

      If he did not do it against City, won't do it against Sheffield.

      Nuno doesn't want Vinagre and Traore to play together as wingbacks

        He’ll probably tuck in allowing Traore to stay forward.

    Would you WC?

    Have Alli, Vinagre, Batshuayi - will sell all if WC'd
    No City or Utd
    Rest of the team in good shape: Salah, Digne, Mitchell carrying this week. Wouldn't sell Jimmy, Ings, Soucek. Might swap Dier with Davies tho.
    Heart says WC, head says hold until next gw, it's nothing 2FTs can't fix.
