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.

    Robertson over TAA or is that limiting my scoring potential?

          Also tempted by Felipe Anderson even though I don't see him in many teams.

        it is important that you get long term starters because it decreases the need to use fts

        i would say 1 ft out of 3/4 would be needed to keep the rotation fresh... i only looked 4/5 gws ahead

        you can't look long term because there is so much you can't predict - for instance, injuries, manager changes, poor performances etc

        I'm not in love with LEI's early fixtures so the double up seems excessive.

        Trossard has become a very fashionable punt

          True that, maybe EVE mid instead of Maddy?

          Don't know any cheaper good options for Trossard.

    Am I allowing my bias as a City fan to affect my thinking with regards to a Sterling and KDB double up?

    Having watched practically every game they've played in a City shirt, I'm finding it very hard to go without both of them...

      Can’t argue with them two in a team, once happy with the rest.
