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.

    Complex rotation system sorted here:

    3-5-2 with 2 of 4 4.5 def rotating nicely. All 4 subs are active.

    Pope Heaton
    Gomez (2 of) Taylor,, Guilbert,, Montoya,, Soyuncu
    Salah, Sterling, Martial, Fraser, Perez
    Vardy, Wilson (Greenwood)

      Too complexed! The best thing you can do for GW1 is be very boring and make a template team. Take risks later on in the season.

      I really like that. The only thing I don't like is Gomez because you're relying on him to play every game.

            Don't see him as first choice, just filling in until first choice CBs are fit. Don't fancy Palace anyway.

        I've just suggested four!

        Many people are into the goalkeeper rotation of Pope and Heaton, right? So the same clubs' 4.5 defenders work too, as I have - Taylor and Guilbert.

          Thank you
          Pope is my GK so not keen on Taylor.
          Maybe will go for Ryan & then those two.

          Gosh, all 5 defenders are sub-5% differentials, with 3 of them owned by fewer than 1%. Nice.

    Bottomed... Is going with 4 premium defenders (6.0+) a ridiculous idea at this stage?

          Strong mids is passable. Just means upgrading is tougher.
