Another start for budget FPL defender Kilman as Darlow is passed fit for Newcastle

The second of three Premier League matches to take place on Sunday sees Wolverhampton Wanderers entertain Newcastle United.

Kick-off at Molineux is at 16:30 BST.

With the exception of Adama Traore (£6.4m), there is good news all round for owners of Wolves’ most-popular Fantasy Premier League assets.

Max Kilman (£4.1m) is handed his third straight start at centre-back, with Romain Saiss (£5.2m) again deployed at left wing-back.

Kilman was the most-bought FPL defender of Gameweek 6, with almost 340,000 Fantasy managers recruiting the budget asset for this fixture.

Traore’s third benching in a row means that Raul Jimenez (£8.5m) is again joined in attack by Daniel Podence (£5.5m) and Pedro Neto (£5.5m), meanwhile.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s only change to the side that beat Leeds United is a like-for-like one, with Ruben Neves (£5.4m) replacing Joao Moutinho (£5.4m) in central midfield.

The team news for the visitors is a bit more complicated, with Steve Bruce making four alterations from his starting XI in Gameweek 6.

There isn’t a change between the posts, however, with Karl Darlow (£5.0m) passed fit to feature.

Emil Krafth (£4.4m) and Joelinton (£5.8m) are both benched, with Isaac Hayden (£4.9m) also among the substitutes as Steve Bruce opts not to risk his half-fit midfielder.

Jonjo Shelvey (£5.4m), who is set for groin surgery, misses out completely.

Fabian Schar (£4.9m), Ryan Fraser (£5.8m), Jacob Murphy (£4.9m) and Miguel Almiron (£5.8m) come into the Magpies’ rather offensive-looking starting XI.


Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Rui Patricio, Boly, Coady, Kilman, Semedo, Dendoncker, Neves, Saiss, Neto, Jimenez, Podence.

Newcastle United XI: Darlow, Schar, Lascelles, Fernandez, Lewis, Almiron, Hendrick, Fraser, Saint-Maximin, Wilson, Murphy.

      Jinxed it now.

    What's up with Traore? Benched too many times. They look more dangerous when he plays though.

    1. beric

      Supersub

    2. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Tactical. Comes in when everyone is tired

    3. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Traore is one my favourite players, at times so unstoppable

      1. Tinkermania
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I am sure if the whole squad went on Auction, he would cost the most. Big potential.

    4. Plant Based FPLer

      Nuno Espirto is dispiriting him. He looked demoralised coming on as a sub last match. It's going to be the same today.

      1. Third Eye Vision
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Nuno Dispirito

        1. Plant Based FPLer
          • 7 Years

          That's good. I'm using that!

  3. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Marcal comes in for Saiss around 70min then Newcastle scores on the counter

  4. DRIZ ✅

    Wolves are missing Jota

    1. Tinkermania
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Jota was benched a fair few times too.

  5. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    That skill by Podence was phenomenal.

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years

    Jim to Ings easy move

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Would love to do this but too many other fires to put out! Strange how poor Jimi has become

      1. Plant Based FPLer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        He's mainly a good header-er of the ball. Like DCL. They don't care much about improving much else.

  8. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Jimi to Podence to max 10.4 mid? I have too much cash itb..

    1. Dacra
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Podence, nothing to do with Jimi, can't type..

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      0.1 short of Fernandes.. Ouch
      You have Son already I assume? If not then surely Son

      1. Dacra
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Indeed. And yep.

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          You could get Rashford or James but I would really want Bruno..
          Any enabler moves possible? and get Bruno a week or two later maybe

          1. Dacra
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah, could easily downgrade a defender, saving might be best, ta.

  9. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Might not be a fun FPL asset to own but this Podence fella is a joy to watch at times

  10. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Don’t forget Palace V wolves next week if you’ve been struggling to get to sleep

    1. Tasty Jerk
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Should be a exciting end to end game, no time for sleep 🙂

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        The way this season is going it will genuinely be 3-3

        1. Tasty Jerk
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          😀

  11. Utopsis
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    How does Saiss absolutely dominate the BAPs most weeks? At least Kilman made a last ditch challenge, what exactly has Saiss done of note?

    1. djoker_nole
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      FPL Towers have him

    2. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Newcastle didn't even attack yet all Wolves defenders dominating the BPS table lol.

    3. JJO
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      They just give random baps to defenders,nothing to do with anything on field

      1. Utopsis
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        It's really fascinating

  12. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Podence reminds me of Hazard

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Haha your entertaining us during this snoozefest

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Poor man's Hazard tbf

    4. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      Very lively, ball glued to his feet.

    5. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years

      the Real Madrid version, yeah.

    6. ivantys
      • 3 Years

      His size?

  13. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Donkey mad

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Just shows how bad this game is if the big highlight being replayed was a skill from podence

  15. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Maybe triple Wolves defence is the way...

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Definitely while I don't own one!

    2. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Kilman + 1 other looking "essential"

    3. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Clean sheet looking good against Palace, not sure on next 4 after that.

  16. Fudgy
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Wolves punishing me as expected

  17. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Saiss and Kilmannn come on..
    save my GW

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

    Kilman is a bit of a BAP merchant, isn't he?

  19. HollywoodXI
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I own Jamal Lewis. No need to panic Wolves owners. They will definitely score.

  20. DRIZ ✅
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Would love it if Newcastle score, would love it

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

      Poor decision not having Wolves defense.

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I can afford one now Kilman is playing

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ok?

    3. Make United Great Again

      -1

    4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      They won't. Worthless team. A gift for all the wolves defence owners

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        we said that about Fulham and they still scored

      2. Amey
        • 5 Years

        Need ASM goal 😀
        For NAL ... Ha ha

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah ... Agree

    5. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Amen

    6. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Always chance of a cheeky Wilson penalty

  21. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Sigh. Wolves are destroying me. Their fixtures were so promising

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Their fixtures are changing to sour soon.

      1. Free Hat
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Probably the time they will start scoring again

  22. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I don't think I've had a clean sheet this season

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      So you didn’t own TAA against Chelsea?

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Oh yes one 6 pointer!

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Whose fault is that?

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        The defenders?

  23. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Advice appreciated chaps! 2 FT, 1.8 ITB.

    Martinez
    Saiss, Chilwell, Digne*
    Salah, Son, Fernandes, Barkley, Bissouma
    Kane, DCL

    (Steer, Brewster, Justin, Mitchell)

    A) Digne -> Kilman
    B) Digne -> ?
    C) Digne & Bissouma -> Kilman & Jorginho
    D) Digne & Brewster -> Kilman & Bamford

    C and D leaves enough ITB for Barkley -> Rodriguez after

    Cheers

    You guys realize Wolves are Second Half FC for a reason right?

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      People here don’t. If their cap hasn’t hauled by half time, it’s all doom and gloom.

    2. Plant Based FPLer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I didn't. Let's see it then. Without Jota, Doherty and Traore in good spirits, where will this 2nd half magic come from? Neto?

  25. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Bamford Maupay or Adams?

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

      Bamford more attacking team, misses a few but %ages pay off.

    2. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bamford

    3. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bamford

  26. JohnnyRev7
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Kinda weird to CAZOO on AVL and EVE shirts. I thought it was a betting company but apparently its used cars.
    Still weird to see one company sponsoring two teams.

    1. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Haven't heard of Fly Emirates? Seen them on many football team shirts

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Arsenal and Chelsea once had O2 at the same time I think

    3. JohnnyRev7
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I stand corrected. I guess I just didn't know who CAZOO were. Living in Germany.

    4. Morph - Unbelievable Geoff
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Carling used to sponser Rangers and Celtic because if they only sponsored one of them, the other half of Glascow wouldn't drink it.

  27. Make United Great Again

      1. Make United Great Again

      Of course.

    The game is worth watching? Jimi and Saiss owner

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years

      No but you will likely get a CS

    2. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Wolves usually plays well in second half. So yeah id tune in

    3. ivantys

    Kieran Dyer making it more of a snoozefest

    1. Rainer

      He should start a fight to liven things up.

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)

      So boring.

      He's on 99.8, do it before he rises

    2. Plant Based FPLer

      Seems good.

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)

      If he blanks here I’d say so, wolves look like never scoring more than 1 so it’s hardly scary getting rid of him

    5. Brosstan

      For free yea
