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

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.

      A with Robinson

      1. Visionaries

        4 years, 8 months ago

        SHU fixtures are dreadful. Putting me off

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Ward over Cahill for sure imo. He’s nailed now.

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years

      Dreadful? How so lol

      1. Visionaries
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        1 or 2 ok games out of the first 10?

  2. danlynch13
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Cannot decide between Trent and Moura.. I have Robbo already

    Any ideas?

    1. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      If you want surety of start, go with VVD. It'll save you 1mn over Moura. If you don't mind the occasional benching/truncated minutes, go for TAA.

    2. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Trent. More nailed

    3. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Moura , fancy a haul , have both though

  3. KGFC
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Who will Giovani Lo Celso challenge at Spurs? Lamela, Son, Alli?

  4. KUN_DE_BRU_YNE
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    A) Aubemeyang + Fraser + Montoya
    Or,
    B) Wilson + KDB + coleman

  5. balint84
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    A) gw1 Moura then transefr to Martial
    B) stay with Martial from the beginning

    1. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Chelsea could be tricky - not sure what to expect of them. Will they explode or implode? For 1 week punt, Moura, after that Martial.

    2. KUN_DE_BRU_YNE
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      This m thinking

  6. thepancakeman123
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Is this a good team that's ready to go now?

    De Gea
    Robertson - Van Dijk - Zinchenko - Dunk
    Sterling - Salah - Perez - McGinn
    Kane - King

    Button - Rico - Dendoncker - Greenwood

    1. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Looks very good

  7. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    The best 4.5 defence rotating pairs ?

  8. Adderz
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Deal sheet is in for the loan of Mo Besic from Everton to Sheffield United.

    Kills off Lundstram as an option if it goes through, if anyone was putting any hope on his shoulders.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      No one should have been holding out hope for that one, in all honesty.

      A £4.0m starter will most likely emerge, but usually only once a few regular starters pick up long term injuries.

      1. Adderz
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Agreed, been trying to talk people out of Lundstram for a while

  9. Valar(Keith)
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Partner Soyuncu with Guilbert/Mings.. One of the best rotations out there.

    1. Jebiga
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks

    2. JELLYFISH
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Nice option

    3. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Not sold on LEI def esp with Maguire gone now.

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I can see them keeping 8 to 10 CS's. Good enough for me in a rotation. I only trust Burnley, Leicester and weirdly villa from the teams that offer 4.5 defenders. Villa because I saw their games post feb last year and cause of Douglas Luiz and heaton

        1. JELLYFISH
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Whose the best Burnley pick do you think? Taylor?

    4. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Leicester kept all their 10 Clean sheets out of the 26 games they played vs non top 6 opposition. Just bench soyuncu vs the big guns and play your villa defender who covers him perfectly

    5. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Nice, my consider instead of current Montoya/Diop

    6. Mauricios Cappuccino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Is Soyuncu nailed?

    7. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Dunk/Diop is much better.

  10. Bialystrzelec
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Settled on majority of players.

    Heaton Button
    TAA VVD Digne Zinchenko Lundstram
    Salah Sterling Siggy Perez Dendonker
    Wilson King Greenwood

    How to fit Kane in? Not sold on Salah.

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Salah will haul tomorrow

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      This is the exact team I had last week

      1. Bialystrzelec
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Who did you changed than?

  11. L S P
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    RP:

    A) Zinc + Deeney + .5
    B) Laporte + Ings

    Feel like either way there's risk: Zinc rotation and Ings injury

  12. Krafty Werks
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Iwobi @ Everton, a real option at 6.0? I've always really liked him as a player and think he could blossom out wide for the Toffees if given regular gametime? Will he?

    1. Lebowski85
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      He got 8 Assists last year. If he can add goals to his game he will be a bargain

      1. Krafty Werks
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Agree, just keep an eye on him for now i guess?

    2. L S P
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      watchlist maybe

  13. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    REPOST

    Is Lo Celso signed for Spurs ?
    Also Luiz to Arsenal ?

  14. WVA
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    How's this? Best 7m midfielder?

    Ederson
    TAA VVD Digne AWB
    Salah Sterling Perez 7m?
    Wilson Ings
    Button Dendonker Lundstram Greenwood

    1. TeddiPonza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Zaha will be in a few weeks. But now I would take someone 6,5m or squeeze the extra 0,5 and go for Fraser/Martial/Moura.

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Digne to Coleman and get Fraser

  15. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    RP:

    How's this guys? I realise it means playing Dendoncker, but.....

    Heaton
    Robertson - Digne - VVD
    Dendoncker - Sterling - Salah - KDB - Perez
    Wilson - King

    Bench is garbage.

    Thoughts to begin with?

    1. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Don't like Wilson + King double up. How about downgrading King and upgrading Ded or bench?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        and play just one up top?

  16. KUN_DE_BRU_YNE
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Zinchenko or Coleman ?

    1. Rash
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Both risks now imo. I currently have the former but probs will make a switch out

    2. Gentle_Turks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Of those two I prefer Coleman because of Zinc rotation doubt. But I'd rather have Laporte and Digne.

  17. Gentle_Turks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Doherty goal. Here we go again...

    1. Jebiga
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      jota is nailed in my team 🙂

      1. Gentle_Turks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Did he assist Doherty?

        1. Jebiga
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Dont know but you must own underpriced 6.5 Jota

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      After their awful 1st 5 he’s in

  18. Rash
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Has Kieron Tierney been playing matches for Celtic? If sonhe should be match fit and thrown straight in.. any takers?

    1. Jimmy Boy
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Arsenal defender. No-go for me.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        The boy can get assists.

    2. L S P
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      he's injured

    3. theswallow1965
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      He's still injured I thought. recovering from double hernia op?

    4. Alan The Llama
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Was injured a lot last season. Just had a double hernia operation and a pelvic issue. Nowhere near match fit.

    5. BremerHB
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      General consensus seems to be that he is out until October/November

  19. Peter Ouch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    News on Lacazette and Laporte?

    Been at work, haven't check anything

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Laporte is ready and came through training 100% today, No news on Laca so is still rated a 50/50 chance for the Newcastle game

      1. Peter Ouch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks mate, appreciate it!

      2. Tiki-Taka
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Is there any confidence in who will partner him at CB? Assume they'll be playing 4 at the back so Stones/Otamendi?

  20. iL PiStOlErO
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Heaton Pope
    TAA Digne AWB Guilbert Dunk
    Salah Bilva Richarlison Fraser Mcginn
    Kane (C) King Wickham

    What do you guys think about this lot?

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling and Wilson will surely outscore kane and bilva

  21. SpoonPants
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Kun is a legend and saved many a season for me. Thoughts on this attempt to sneak him in there:

    Pope | McGovern
    VVD Digne Azpi KWP | Gibson
    Salah Sterling Perez Trossard | Dendonker
    Kun Adams | Wickham

    Cheers

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Why not?

    2. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      First time I have seen Aguero in a draft for ages. Can't believe it on fantasy football scout!

      The three expensive players are squeezing your budget a bit too much though, in my opinion.

    3. theswallow1965
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Kun has been great for me too, but don't think he will get as many minutes this year. I wouldn't pick him especially as you have Sterling.
      Kane/Auba much better I think.
      You could end up relying on Adams some weeks.
      Kun > 11m
      Adams > 6.5/7m

  22. waldofeen

    Pope(Button)
    Trent Robbo Zinchy Dunk (Gibson)
    ManeSterling Neves B.Silva(ddonk)
    Aubameyang King (Gwood)

    Should I;
    (A)downgrade Trent to AWB and strengthen midfield
    or
    (B) downgrade Aubameyang and strengthen midfield.
    or
    (C)
    Stick

    1. theswallow1965

    Why isn't Martial more popular? OOP playing for a top six team and only 7.5.

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      probably my Moura replacement

    2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      I’m flirting with the idea actually!!

    3. _nod
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      No clue.

    4. Penguin
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Because he’s rubbish

    5. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Burned me last season.

      I got him in just as he decided he didn't like running training or doing any other form of football related exercise.

      Other than Lukaku no longer being there I'm scratching my head to think what's suddenly changed all of a sudden to make him this hot United prospect.

  24. SADIO SANÉ
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    if you managed a PL side and HAD to play one of these players every week, same wage, would you pick Bernard or Iwobi?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Walcott!

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years

        like it

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Iwobi

  25. lespaul

      1-9, Kane’s a midfielder now... 🙂

  26. Ronnies
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    A) KDB + Zinchenko

    B) Siggy + TAA

    I have Robbo & Sterling

    Thanks guys.

  27. Jebiga

    Hayden over Dendocker ? Yes or No ?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      No

  28. Atimis

    18.0 ITB to fill 3 spots, can’t really decide, any suggestions?

    Pope/Button
    Robo/Digne/AWB/Montoya/Rico
    Salah/Sterling/Martial/Perez/XXX
    Wilson/XXX/XXX

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Moura, Murray/King and whoever you can afford

  29. Bialystrzelec

    A. King
    B. Kota
    C. Other

    1. Bialystrzelec

      B. Jota*

  30. Penguin

    4 years, 8 months ago

    Should I pick Kane or save the money??

    1. Bialystrzelec
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Same dilema. Currently I ditched him to get Salah, but still undecided

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Save the cash.

      Wait till Son is available in GW3 and get him instead.

      If Kane doesn't do anything against Villa he's effectively worthless till GW3 anyway.
