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.

          You were pissed off at something? Can't believe it.

    5. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      This isn't highsight but he never looked like a premier league player and a lot of his goals weren't very good. He scored so well because of the team around him, I looked into it a lot

    6. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah had him for first 3 weeks.

    I presume a lot on here without a WC have 2fts for next week??

    What are your plans for the fixture swing when most will use WC??

    I'm thinking Kane and maybe one of Alli/Sane/Laca and a hit for a defender maybe...

    Don't know who I'm losing yet.

    1. STEP rOVERS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Ali and Bellerin for me. Want to keep Aguero but Kane is a option

  9. TeamSteam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    How`s Jimenez looking?

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      really poor

      other than the assist given the ball away a lot

      1. TeamSteam
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Any attempts?

        1. TRIPOS TOPPER
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          dont think so

          Doh had one (the goal), couple from Neves

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      for a striker he's got awful finishing

    3. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Poor, gives ball away too much.

  10. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    A Patty Goal to outfox Pat won't hurt

  11. mixology
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Since GW 9 Pickford has outscored Patricio by 30 points and Everton haven’t even played this GW yet (although it is LIV away)

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Pick's been my lil secret weapon to climbing the ranks...

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      2 penalty saves

      1. mixology
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I understand. Extreme example but I’ve heard ppl saying never take a gk out on a hit/ waste a transfer on a keeper

        1. Deulofail
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Obviously take the hit if you know the player is going to get 2 penalty saves and outscore your keeper by 30 points or more in the coming games

          1. Where has all the rum gone?
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            All the time

          2. mixology
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Harsh, guys. Making the point that gk position is being overlooked and many seem content with steady 2 pointers from fab and pat

            1. Deulofail
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              🙂 I don't think anyone's content with strings of 2 points, but it exascerbates the problem to throw away 4 more points. If you think the hit is worth it, then there's nothing wrong with taking the hit, but there's no point doing it just to change things up a bit. Previous points don't predict future points very well at all.

              1. mixology
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                Think my tone was misunderstood, was posting to open ppls eyes to gk position, not to accuse people of giving poor advice about use of transfers

        2. TRIPOS TOPPER
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          This is why I set and forget with Eddy. Juggling keepers consumes transfers and if you have two playing you run the risk of picking the wrong one

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I find there's still a huge aversion to spending more than 4.5 on a GK - folks normally cite value and save points as the main incentives for a 4.5 - but Ederson & Allison are both matching & exceeding the 4.5's on value - on a 20% higher baseline cost which makes those two guys an even bigger bargain.

      DDG did the business handsomely for two thirds of last season, and Ederson/Allison are doing it this season - it's worth paying the little extra imo rather than trying to win the 4.5 lottery every week between Fabianski / Ryan / Patricio / Hennesey/ Hart etc

      imvho

      1. mixology
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Definitely. DDG spoiled us last season. I feel that ppl overlook how a well scoring gk can slowly chip away at rising up ranks

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Fabianski MIGHT be about to put that theory to the sword, his fixtures are off the hook... but not sure I’d be queuing up to swap Ederson for him yet

  12. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years

    Johnathan Hogg, my main man. I welcome you to the first team xD

    You've got to respect a team that has a defensive duo called Manga Bamba and an attacker that looks like a porn star..

      1. Bolivian Seaman

        His scores are quite good and I had ederson for the start

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I've got Fab. Not expecting points tomorrow though. Think Newcastle will win

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Ah welcome back to the Wolves team Bennett! I never doubted you unlike your nasty manager. I'll warmly accept you off the bench sparingly during the festive period. Merry Christmas son.

    Wolves look MLS quality - how can all of them play so poorly in possession?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Moutinho is the problem IMO. He is physically weak and next to Neves it is not a good combo. Get some physicality and pace in with Gibbs-White

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        4-3-3 with gibbs white could be good

      2. tm245
        • 14 Years

        Hadn't watched them much before these past two matches - you're right, they lack steel.

    3. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Worst feeling.

      Fab gets save points at least

    4. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Allison and ederson rarely get save points though, who else is there?

      1. tm245

        Not sure - it looks bleak.

      Leno, Lloris, Pickford
