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.

    I'm surprised by the lack of love for Liverpools Gomez, do we not think he will be first choice? I know Matip has performed well so I suppose it's a wait and see.

      Toffee here. I always thought he was alright, but was basically ignored by every manager he had at Goodison, so you'd assume they saw something they didn't like. Prone to a card-or-two. You'd have to say probably more of a Championship player, but I always felt he deserved more of a chance when he was with us and fit.

        I’ll see who comes out firing. Either straight swap to martial or hold on and do a Moura to dendonker then upgrade Greenwood. Think his 7.5 mil price is quite easy to sort to someone else. Taking a punt on Barkley also but we shall see if it pays off.

    My first RMT. Guessing fairly cookie cutter. Comments\thoughts appreciated.

    Pope (Button)
    Alexander-Arnold | Digne | Zinchenko (Dunk, Kelly)
    Salah | Sterling | Perez | Lucas Moura (Hayden)
    Murray | Vardy | King

    Nothing in the bank.

    A concern is a flexibility if a big striker starts strong.

        I had Auba a few times list year, and he disappointed most weeks. Not to say he's not quality, and given the fact I do not have him, I like your chances.

        Morua was actually a recent change. Wanted some Spurs cover.

      Vert and Sokr look like unusual picks, but that don't necessary mean they're bad. I wouldn't want to gamble on those kind of differentials this early though. I want to keep it as template as possible this early so I would try to get Salah in there.

    Since I normally WC in GW3/4, the risk of going Salahless is not THAT high, esp form his current price point. And can spread funds around the rest of the team beautifully.

    Self-reassuring post is all this is. Nervous wreck about no Salah or Pool attack, but there we are!

      Going without Salah is dangerous mate, Norwich home Liverpool will come out all guns blazing. Could be a 4/5-0

      No LIV attack, Kane or City defence...cool as a cucumber (cool shades emoji) 😉

      Norwich's best defender ruled out for Friday night;s game should come as some reassuring news then.

      You can tell yourself that but that won’t change the fact he is playing Norwich at home in GW1 and the vast majority of people will captain him

      Counter argument - why do you need to spread funds around your team if you are wildcardimg GW3/4 anyway? 🙂

    Is Moura a starter for Spurs these days? Son on the left, Kane upfront, Moura on the right?
