Can Wolves’ FPL assets perform as well in 2019/20?

3,383 Comments

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.

        So who do people think is now the best 4.0 defender? Rico? Kelly, still?

          I imagine most will have short spells where first teamers are injured. Lundstram, Kelly and Hanley seem the best currently but probably won't be playing after 2-3 game weeks.

    Does Alex Iwobi moving to Everton for £40m:

    1) Make him a viable option at 6m?

    2) Make the Arsenal wingers/forwards more tempting knowing they won’t get pulled off or randomly dropped for Iwobi?

      Ryan - because you can pair him with Button and guarantee a starting keeper for 8.5m

      Also to me he seems to have the best fixtures early on

        They have a new defence and Decent fixtures. They will concede but overall for shot stops/clean sheets Heaton is the superior option by far

    What's the best midfielder under 6.5m other than Perez?

    I have Barkley currently. I like trezeguet from villa at 5.5m but not from the start. Camarasa is 5m and should get some goals and assists.

    Who is your favourite?
