Saïss at wing-back again as £4.0m defender gets another start in Wolves’ defence

Wolves’ most popular Fantasy Premier League defender Romain Saïss (£5.2m) has been handed another outing at left wing-back.

Following the departure of Ruben Vinagre (£4.3m) and an injury to Marçal (£4.9m), the Moroccan filled in there for the 1-0 win over Fulham in Gameweek 4.

Despite Marçal making the bench on Monday night, Saïss has held off the competition a little while longer to play a more advanced role than usual.

That also means a second successive start in the back-three for £4.0m defender Max Kilman (£4.0m).

He is joined there by key men Conor Coady (£5.0m) and Willy Boly (£5.5m), while Nelson Semedo (£5.5m) starts as the right-back again.

Meanwhile, it is unchanged front-three for Nuno Espirito Santo as Raúl Jiménez (£8.5m) sits in the middle of Pedro Neto (£5.5m) and Daniel Podence (£5.6m), which means a place on the bench for Adama Traoré (£6.4m).

Neto has offered the best value of any Wolves midfield player so far this season, although he is still owned by fewer managers than the benched Ruben Neves (£5.4m), Joao Moutinho (£5.4m), Podence and Traoré.

Marcelo Bielsa keeps faith with his favoured 4-1-4-1 formation, offering a second start of the season to Rodrigo (£5.8m) after his dramatic equaliser against Manchester City.

With veteran Pablo Hernández (£5.8m) on the bench, the Spaniard is deployed in midfield alongside Mateusz Klich (£5.6m) while Patrick Bamford (£5.8m) leads the line once again.

Coming into Gameweek 5, only Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.7m) and Harry Kane (£10.7m) have more owners than Bamford among forwards. And of those in his position priced at £6.0m or less, none have managed as many shots on target as the Leeds man.

Leeds United XI (4-1-4-1): Meslier; Dallas, Cooper, Koch, Ayling; K Phillips; Harrison, Rodrigo, Klich, Costa; Bamford.

Wolves XI (3-4-3): Patrício; Kilman, Coady, Boly; Saïss, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Semedo; Neto, Jiménez, Podence.

    VAR needs to be scrapped until it's fast enough to call offside decisions in the build up instantly. Right now it's just sucking the life out of football. Why even celebrate when VAR disallows 90% of goals for random offsides and handballs in the build up...

      ... so you'd rather that goal be awarded? when the assister was clearly offside?

        He didn't even gain a real advantage from the offside which is what the offside rule is there to prevent

          Once you get to that point, who decides what an advantage is? That would confuse the rules even more because every other person has a different definition of "advantage"

          He broke the rules. If you dont like the rules, dont blame the machine enforcing the rules

          In the non Var system the linesman would have raised his flag as Podence got the ball and a goal was never scored

          Players need to adjust to the new system where more is let go and later checked.

            The earlier system was better because then everyone would have seen it's offside due to the linesman flagging right away

    When is VAR going?? please get rid of it. Its ruining the game and perfectly good goals. As an owner of Sais am equally pissed off.
    How can we let a computer decide if a players big toe or elbow is offside. Am giving up watching football. What would would happen if the Henderson goal was to win the WORLD CUP FOR England
    .... YOU var lovers wouldn't be laughing then.

        have any comments on the Henderson goal!!!!!!! I didnt think so, and I`m not a liverpool fan or a Wolves fan.
        VAR is cancelling out goal for other players who have little influence in the actual goal. ridiculous. bring back the decision to the linesmen.

      But podence being offside is one of the situations its used properly. So can't complain here...saiss owner myself.
