Bennett benched as Cardiff match Wolves’ 3-4-3 formation

Owners of budget defender Ryan Bennett (£4.2m) will be disappointed to see that he was named on the bench for Wolves’ trip to Cardiff City.

The two newly-promoted sides both turned heads with their team-sheets as they prepare to kick off Gameweek 14 of Fantasy Premier League.

Bennett has been replaced in the back-three by versatile Moroccan international Romain Saïss (£4.2m) while Adama Traore (£5.3m) gets just his second league start of the campaign.

Naturally, popular options Rui Patrício (£4.6m), Matt Doherty (£4.9m) and Raúl Jiménez (£5.9m) all retained their starting places.

Meanwhile, Neil Warnock has matched his opposite number by deploying his Cardiff side in a 3-4-3 formation.

Sean Morrison (£4.7m), Sol Bamba (£4.5m) and Bruno Ecuele Manga (£4.5m) make up the back three with Junior Hoilett (£5.0m) and Harry Arter (£4.9m) as the left and right wing-backs respectively.

Josh Murphy (£4.8m) and Victor Camarasa (£4.5m) are the wide forwards either side of Callum Paterson (£5.2m).

Cardiff City XI (3-4-3): Etheridge; Bamba, Morrison, Manga; Hoilett, Ralls, Gunnarsson, Arter; Murphy, Paterson, Camarasa.

Wolves XI (3-4-3): Patrício; Boly, Coady, Saïss; Vinagre, Moutinho, Neves, Doherty; Costa, Jiménez, Traore.
