Can Wolves’ FPL assets perform as well in 2019/20?

3,383 Comments

Wolverhampton Wanderers were one of the big success stories of last season, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s impressive side finishing seventh in their first Premier League campaign in six years.

The West Midlands club offered Fantasy managers some notable bargain buys, with Matt Doherty (£6.0m), Diogo Jota (£6.5m) and Raul Jimenez (£7.5m) the three stand-out assets.

Doherty, Jimenez and several others have been handed price rises in Fantasy Premier League this summer, however, and aren’t quite the cut-price gems they were 12 months ago.

Do Wolves players still appeal, then, going into 2019/20?

Our 20th and final Numbers Game piece looks at Wanderers’ underlying data from last season to see if the numbers of 2018/19 can be repeated in the upcoming campaign.

      You mean King instead of Wilson, no? I have the exact same team, and zero in the bank, except for:

      Fraser over Perez (-1 mill.)
      Zinchenko over Laporte (+1 mill.)
      Lundstram over Montoya (+0.5 mill)
      Heaton over Button (-0.5 mill)

      And I couldn't afford Wilson.

      In hindsight like the Perez/Montoya combo better than Fraser/Lundstram. Thought AFC would hit the ground running this season, even sans Brooks.

    Too much in defence? Azpi would be the obvious downgrade to a 4.5m defender, but where would it make sense to spend the extra 1.5m?

    Maybe King to Wilson but then I have two expensive Bournemouth players, or Dendoncker to Barkely in a 3-5-2 but will he start?
