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.

      Good for 3 big hitters. Personally I’d downgrade a keeper and just set and forget. Use the money to upgrade Ake. Yes they have good fixtures but they’re so leaky defensively.

      Or just straight swap for Zouma?

    Jiminez with another brace tonight, getting hard to ignore even if it's against weaker teams.

      Jota’s three assists scores more points though.

    I own Fraser and Wilson.
    Should I go risky with king or go with jota?

    Brighton fans - I need to be convinced about Locadia. There's not much at 5.5m.

    It'd enable:
    Pope
    Robertson, Digne, Dunk
    Salah, Sterling, Perez, Martial
    Kane, King, Locadia

    Other option is to go 352 and get 5.5 Robinson in midfield.
