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

3,383 Comments
Share

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.

        GW1 Benching Zouma v ManU, Ings and Robinson. Plus a stacked bench will help if the likes of Zinchenko/ KWP don’t get the nod.

          If you're going with 4 at the back then having that front 8 isn't a good idea. Downgrade one of Robinson, Ings or Wood to a 4.5m player and the upgrade accordingly.

      Robbo for security, TAA for sheer explosive potential.

      If you are prepared to put up with the odd resting and early withdrawal then TAA is the way to go.

      Otherwise, get steady points every week from Robbo.
