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.

    After holding transfers with patience last night and doing nothing im mulling over some moves for next week

    Meslier
    Ayling Saiss Justin TAA Robbo
    Sterling Salah Hamez Son Bissouma
    DCL Antonio Brewster

    Currently thinking these over :
    A. Justin to Dallas and bench Bissouma Brewser + Antonio, 5 at that back. I like both leeds fullbacks and 4.5mil is underpriced.
    B TAA + Antonio to Kilman + Aguero (c) for a -4
    C do nothing and bench Justin Brewster Bissouma with Salah (c)

    Had a shocker of a week Brin missed pen Mitro missed pen chose KDB and Neto to Son and Grealish should have gone with my gut and gone Barkley instead of Grealish allowing funds for Jiminez to Kane for next gw or -8 this game week priced myself out now so stuck with Jiminez and Mitrovic

      Its an easy decision to be fair for you.

      Id gladly take such an easy route to get Kane

      Im going to ignore for now since i dont want to sell Sterling or TAA for -4 or -8.

    Quite a few negative comments around Podence, but he was genuinely Wolves best player until he got subbed, I thought (off a rather low base, to be fair)

    Have around 6.5 to spend on a defender or forward

    Would you rather have Digne or Wilson/ Maupay?
