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.

    Fairly set on this. Trossard a punt but I like the rest. Thoughts?

    Pope (Button)
    VvD Digne Zinchenko Montoya (Lundstram)
    Salah Sterling Perez Trossard (Dendoncker)
    Kane Wilson (Greenwood)

      This looks GOOD. Cheers mate

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years

      Wilson to king and upgrade Montoya

      1. abaalan
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Would rather keep Montoya and upgrade Lindstrom to rotating 4.5 def

      Looks very good and you have 2 playing subs, best team I've seen which includes the Holy Trinity!!

  3. BBD148
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts please?

    Alisson (Pope)
    TAA Digne Stones (Adam Smith + Lundstram)
    Sterling - Mane - Fraser - Barkley (Dendoncker)
    King - Laca - Ayew

    Any suggestions appreciated

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Mane won't start and lava a doubt not sure about stones

    How many players under 5% ownership do you have? Those not in your starting XI in brackets as a therein

      Yee

    2. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Not initially I don't think having just been made club cpt but can see them being rotated over course of the season.

    3. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I don't think so. I think Sidible was brought in for cover, but time will tell.

    4. Oooof
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Not for now

    5. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years

      no

    6. Bird Raymond
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Should be ok for first few weeks, will then be gradually eased out a la Baines, Jagielka.

  6. fplking14
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    My team:
    Ryan Schmeichel
    Digne Ake Robertson Cathcart Zouma
    KDB Salah Barkley Dendocker Rice
    Kane C.Wilson Jota

    Thoughts??

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

      A real mixed bag...
      That midfield requires work man
      The front line is awesome but at a real price

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

      4.5 / 5 keeper rotation is mental. just get ederson

      ake is a horrible pick

      1. fplking14
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Why is Ake a horrible pick?

  7. kysersosa
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Managers..

    Which team is better for the first 4-6 weeks...

    A)

    Heaton
    Coleman/VVD/TAA
    (S)alah/Sterling/Fraser/Perez/TROSSARD
    Wesley/vardy

    Button GUILBERT Greenwood Lundstram

    OR

    B)

        Hello 🙂
        Thank you. That's a resounding A !!

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

    Taylor being a doubt made me abandon my 3 way rotation.. Laporte coming back.. Luiz leaving Chelsea.. No midfielder joining wolves and Jota looking fantastic has basically fixed this team for me
    Pope
    VVD Laporte KWP(Swap to Zouma/Christensen in a few weeks)
    Salah Sterling Robinson Perez
    Kane King Jota
    4.0 Mings Dendonker Rico

    Good luck all. Cheers.

    Cheers

    1. Oooof

      Looks good.

      Enjoy the game!

  10. Davidwes
    • 4 Years

    Is joel ward nailed on?

  11. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Evening! GTG? 24 hours to go!
    Just the stars I'm not 100% about:

    Pope
    Robbo* | VVD | Zinchenko** | Montoya | Guilbert
    Salah | Sterling | KdB | Norwood
    Kane

    Button | Dendoncker | Greenwood | Wickham

    *Robbo or TAA?
    ** Zinchenko, Stones or Coleman

    Either way keen to have triple Pool and triple City considering how far ahead of the rest they were last season.

    Thanks!

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

      I think having 2 x 4.5 forwards will lead to an early WC
      Very un-flexible

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        That's the plan anyway 🙂

  12. BooYaKasha
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Think I'm happy with this,
    Tear it up guys...

    Ederson, (Stekelenburg)
    Robertson, VVD, Coleman (Rico, Lundstram)
    Salah, Sterling, Moura, Perez, Mcginn
    Wilson, Jota (Wickham)

    1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Moura the questionable one for me

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

      love it apart from mcginn (and that bench is going to cause problems)

  13. Kizza_10
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Any advice on how to improve this team is welcome.

    Ederson
    Zouma VVD Robertson Coleman
    Fraser Sterling Salah Tielemans
    Jota Wilson

    Subs: Button, Lundstram, Dendoncker, Greenwood

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      really solid, templatey team to start the season

      perez is more popular than tielemans but you already know that. i would probably risk zinch over coleman but understand why you might not

  14. reo19uk
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Is Travers ahead of Begovic for Bournemouth?

    1. Ekip
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Nobody knows, even Eddie!

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

      the answer to this, if knowable, should bear no meaning to your squad

  15. aleksaa2
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Montoya/Dunk and Balbuena/Diop?

    1. gooner_112233445566
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Montoya, diop

      1. Oooof
        • 8 Years

        This

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

        This is what I currently have

  16. tissae
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    What do we choose boys? Jota performance today got me thinkin real hard.

    A. Siggurdson + Jota + Wilson
    B. Siggurdson + King + Wilson
    C. Fraser + Jota + Wilson

  17. Ziyech on the Bench
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Stones nailed? Good pick?

    1. Ciarant20
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Nah not nailed

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

      no / could be

  18. Ciarant20
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Is this GTG? Bailed on Zinc due to Cancelo

    Ederson
    VVD Digne TAA Taylor
    Moura Ster Salah Pérez Sig
    King

    Button Kelly Greenwood Wickham

  19. gooner_112233445566
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Are their any 4.0 defenders who will definitley play 90?

    1. Ekip
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      No
      Rico most likely
      Lundstram maybe
      Hanley, Gibson and Kelly possible

  20. kysersosa
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Anyone taking a punt on Mane this week???

    1. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      No but I’m worried about my Origi1/2 week punt

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

      Some will have but they'll be disappointed when they see the line-up.

  21. nomanenomata
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    A)Fabianski & Perez

    B) Pickford & Martial

    Thanks (I have .5 itb)

  22. DIMITRIS
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    How do you like my team and what would you change:

    Pope (Button)
    VVD | Robertson | AWB | Montoya (Lundstram)
    Salah | Sterling | Fraser | Perez (Doncker)
    Wilson | Rashford (Greenwood)

  23. ZTF
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Heaton
    TAA Robbo Digne Montoya
    Salah Fraser Sterling Pulisic
    Wilson Jota

    Subs: 4.0, Drinkwater, Greenwood, 4.5

    GTG?? 🙂

    1. Tinmen
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I like the Pulisic pick
      Fair play

      1. ZTF
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers. Didn't want a full blown template team & I've liked everything I've seen from him in pre season.

  24. tafrère
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Pope Button
    TAA VVD Zinchenko Guilbert Lundstram
    Salah Sterling Fraser Ayoze Dendoncker
    Wilson Jota Wood

    Seems pretty template.
    Wood as my only differential.

  25. Tinmen
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Folks which option is better?
    My final dilemma

    A) 4.5 Sterling Barkley
    B) KWP/5.0 KDB Bilva

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

      A by far imo.

  26. Jässi
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Who is the best 4.5m defender in your opinion? Don't really see any single option there that would seem a lot better on paper than having both Rico and Lundstram for 4m+4m.

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

      Guilbert.

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

      Lot of love for Montoya lately - wing back in a more attacking team than last year

    3. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      im with dunk

  27. mdm
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Barkley or Perez?

    1. Ekip
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Perez

  28. DandyDon
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Am I the only one that’s just swapped de Bruyne out for B Silva based on Sanes injury? 1.5 saving and baring surprise Mahrez inclusion should keep his place in starting front 3

  29. FISSH
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    KDB and Jota

    Or

    Dendonker and Auba

    Dendonker would be on the bench with a 4.5 defender playing.

  30. Indalo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Looking at your current starting 11, which player are you most unsure of atm?

    Wesley for me.

    1. Oooof
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Joelinton

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Robinson
