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.

      They’re playing a poor team tonight to give some context.

      That said he’s still a good inform pick

  6. yer old da
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    A or B?

    A. Siggy and Greenwood

    B. Barkley/Robinson and Jota?

    If B is it Barkley or Robinson?

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

    Pages flying now!

    KDB and Jota

    Or

    Dendonker and Auba

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

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

      KdB

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

      kdb and jota

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

    pretty set on back line and midfield.

    In a bit of a quandary over the strikers. Currently have Wilson, Dela (who was just cleared by manager) and Greenwood.

    Not sure if I should keep as is or change? Have 19m to play with.

    King, Jota and 6.0 ?
    King, Wood and 6.0?

    SUGGESTIONS?

  9. Iggypop

    Jota off on 63 mins after 3 assists!

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Essential

    Will Sidibé directly affect Coleman?

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

      Looks likely, yes.

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

      Yes but maybe not immediately.

    3. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Will certainly keep Seamus on his toes.

  11. TOBY1
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I believe Deulofeu is fit to play? Am I right?

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

      Yes

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

    Best one from each
    Heaton or Pope
    Martial or Wood (443 vs 442)

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

      Heaton

      Wood

  13. KGFC
    • 7 Years

    Matt Doherty and Diogo Jota hooked off!

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

      I saw Doherty fit and was excited. Then I saw 6m price tag and fell off my chair.

      Cheers dude

  18. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    This is me. 4-4-2
    Heaton
    Robertson,TAA,Digne,Zinchenko
    Salah(c)Sterling,Perez,Trossard
    Wilson,King

    McGovern,Barkley,Lundstrum,Wickham

    Don’t want to play Barkley in gw 1 but want a punt on him without using a transfer to bring him in.
    Can play 4-5-1 in GW3 benching King against City.

    Trossard and Barkley also cover each other early on when each has a bad fixture.
    Just wondering whether it’s worth dropping either Robertson or TAA down to VVD and using the 0.5 to get a 4.5m instead of Lundstrum now that Besic has gone to the Blades.

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Nice, not keen on King, think Jota is the pick of the 6.5’s.

      The previous team you had, had more depth?

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Torn between Jota and King.

  19. oispakaljaa
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Last two spots in starting eleven for £11.0M

    A) KWP + Barkley
    B) Zinchenko + Robinson

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

      A and hope Barkley starts.

  20. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Arsenal looking alright after their signings. Question is whether they are up for the fight:

    Leno
    Bellerin Sokratis Luiz Tierney
    Torreira Cabellos Xhaka
    Pepe Lacazette Aubameyang

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

      Nasty offensive firepower now and Luiz improves their defence., regardless of what people say about him.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Not bad at all, to be fair.

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

      They haven't been for near on 20 years now. Don't fancy arsenal at all.

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

      It's probably the toughest team we've has since Vieira left. I think they're up for it this season.

  21. allaboutthemagic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Perez and KWP

    Or

    Trossard zincenko

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

      Both options would worry me as I think an early defender transfer will be needed.

  22. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Drinkwater (4.5) at Burnley a good 5th mid?

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

      May well be. Just need to see if he's in or around the first team. Best to stay on Donkers for GW1 deadline, imo.

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Don’t really want to waste a transfer on the 5th mid

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe in time. But he hasn't played regularly for years. Will take time to get up to speed.

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah but I’ll gamble on him

  23. chaser123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    There are so many mid price mids that I'd like to have in my team. Really suits playing a 4-5-1 I think.

    Its a shame there aren't any cheap strikers that I'm confident would get 2 points (a Dendoncker equivalent)...

  24. Hog Roast Junkie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Finally happy(ish) with my team

    Pope (Button)
    Robbo, VVD, Digne, Zin (Rico)
    Salah, Sterling, Siggy, Pérez (Hayden)
    Wilson, King (Greenwood)

    Only nagging doubts are Zin, Siggy and King - any suggestions for a better trio?

  25. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Who will the signing of Iwobi most affect

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Walcott,Iwobi down the right
      Richarlison,Bernard down the left.

    2. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Bernard I'd imagine

  26. 8-2
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    No more tinkering...

    Pope (Heaton)

    Laporte VVD Montoya (Lund Rico)

    Salah Sterling Martial McGinn (Dend)

    Kane Jota King

  27. XX SMICER XX
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Undecided on whether to go with 3 big hittters or not.

    1. Zouma Perez Auba - this leaves me with 5-4-1 & no bench (Doncker & 2* 4.5M FWD

    2. Fraser Moura 6.5 FWD - with 4-5-1 & 1.5M for bench / upgrades

    Thoughts?

  28. The Man Pastore
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Jota looks good, but those fixtures are not looking sexy...

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Form

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Best case scenario tonight. 3-0, half hour to go, he comes off to stay fresh for Sunday, and they can put out a B team for the second leg.

  29. *Reformed-Character*
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    VVD & Siggy
    Vs
    Robertson & Moura ???

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

      Ist 2 are long term nailed.
      I don't know if Lo Celso affects Moura, so I dropped him.

      1. *Reformed-Character*
