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.

    Ive got a feeling this question won't split the community but here goes....

    Which pair will score more/ Better starting and (bench) option

    A) Digne and (Dendoncker)

    or

    B) Trossard and (Guilbert/other 4.5 Defender)

    Currently already have Coleman

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldnt double up

        5 years, 2 months ago

        They have the best defensive fixtures for the first 6 weeks, but yes I’m not 100% on doing it. I just can’t see many defenders at 5.5 currently worth that price.

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          They are going to miss Gueye immensely

          1. The Suspended One

            • 11 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Wow reply fail lol

  2. Warby84

    5 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone interested In Moutinho at 5.5.. Currently on Robinson/McGinn just worried about prem step up.. Mot got 8 assists last season plus 1 goal.. Any wolves fans interested?

    1. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I think with their busy early schedule and ok fixtures, id go Robinson or McGinn. Robinson further forward, but McGinn more favourable fixtures (he also just signed a new contract, so will be buzzing).

      1. Warby84
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Are you on McGinn

        1. kysersosa
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Is prefer Robinson....and I’m a villa fan. Grealish would be my preferred option, McGinn is a little bit of a YC magnet.

    2. Scratch
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Would much prefer the £4.5m guys like Dendoncker and Hayden with £1m leftover. Nothing in the £5.5m range looks great. Maybe Camarasa when he gets in the Palace side.

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Too deep lying

      1. Warby84
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Does take set pieces though!!

    4. ZakyJ
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I think trezeguet is the one you want from Villa

  3. Bumbaclot

    A. Montoya/Barkley/Fraser/aubs

        5 years, 2 months ago

        Heaton
        Robertson - Digne - TAA - Montoya
        KDB - Salah - Sterling - Perez
        King - Jota

    3. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A

    4. Scratch
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      First one

    5. Amey
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      B

    6. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers guys, A seems to dominate here then, may go down to the wire eeek!

    7. ZeBestee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      B would bring you more points in the short time.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah i kinda agree with ya there, just A i suppose gives more flexibility and seems more long term for sense of security. Got Perez i suppose and King does have the opportunity to do well first couple games.

  5. Siggy in the Middle
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Is Kean likely to start gameweek 1?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Who knows, maybe press conference tomorrow can give us a clue.

    2. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I think he'll come off the bench

  6. The Royal Robin
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Who is more likely to start every game until the international break?

    A) Stones
    B) Zinchenko

    1. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      B

      1. kysersosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Hopeful!

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      A

  7. -GK22-
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Kean or Jota and bank the £0.5

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Kean won't start this gameweek.

  8. Rigid Digit
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    David Luiz to Arsenal - does this mean Kurt Zouma is a nailed 5.0 route into Chelsea defence?

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      would seem so

    2. Bumbaclot
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yep

    3. Marmalade Forest
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      You’d think Azpi and Rudiger are the top two picks

      1. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Rudiger is injured...

  9. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    1 Gomez and Zouma

    or

    2 VVD and Lundstram/Rico

    ?

  10. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Everyone seems to be going Robbo as a preference over TAA... Why? is it because of the Charity shield game?

    TAA cieleing is so much higher i feel....

    1. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Robbo wont be rotated

    2. Bumbaclot
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Do they!?

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        yeah... even in his OR ownership Robbo is miles ahead

      2. FPL ElasticO
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        TAA with set pieces + bonus with all those crosses.....

    3. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I’m going Trent and I think plenty of others on here are too.

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I gotta pick 1... Im on TAA+ VVD currently

        1. Gregor
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Go Trent, I agree his ceiling is huge.

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I'm going with Robbo over TAA. I think there is more assists in Robbo and maybe less prone to rotation.

    5. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Gomez is a real risk, gives them a way to mitigate taas defensive frailities

  11. mdm
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Siggy or Martial?

    1. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Martial

    2. FPL ElasticO
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Non

    3. Bumbaclot
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Siggy

      1. Bumbaclot
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Although I’m starting to doubt myself

    1. Ozzy smith
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I'd say so, pure nailedness.

    2. Jebiga

      No

    1. No_Mo_Salah?
      • 12 Years

      Robbo or TAA to Vdjik and Coleman to Digne?

  16. DantheManinaPan
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Oh boy! I'm so excited!

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      incoming disappointment like every year.

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years

      Good for you

  17. InRafaWeTrust
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    RMT please. First draft

    Leno Ryan
    Robertson Digne Zinchenko Baldock Targett
    Salah Perez Pedro Dendonker McGinn
    King Kane Firmino

    1. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Certainly different, can't see sense in no city attack.

  18. Samwise
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Any suggestions? do you think Aub/ Salah are detrimental to the overall balance?

    GK: Button (Ryan)

    DEF: van Dijk, Lundstram, Wan-Bissaka, Digne (Kelly)

    MID: Sterling, Barkley, Pérez, Salah (Robinson)

    FWD: Jiménez, Aubameyang (Greenwood)

    1. Cynical
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      At least downgrade Jimenez and upgrade lundstram - not safe enough to start every week

    2. ManofKent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Jimi to Jota and spend it on Lundstrum/Robinson

  19. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Lundstram no longer a good pick?

    1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Why not?

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Seems like they signed a replacement

        1. The 12th Man
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Besic.
          Injury prone though.

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            I havent seen him play well since he got he everton move...

            Wonder if hes straight into the team...

  20. Cynical
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Best 5.5 defender pls

    Got Digne already so not keen on Coleman

    1. Bumbaclot
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Zinch

    2. Amey
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Try Trossard is you already have3 Defenders ?

      1. Cynical
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I would be 0.5 off

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Take a chance on a united defender or zouma/kwp

    4. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      AWB or Zinchenko

    5. Kante FC
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Maguire

  21. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 9 Years

    Coleman or Zinchenko?

    1. MrFrodo
      • 13 Years

      Coleman

      1. FC Bama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        even long term with Sidibe?

  22. Scratch
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    3 great signings from Spurs. Honestly believe if they can now hold onto Toby and Eriksen they're title contenders.

    1. el polako
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      They are Spurs.

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

    1. No_Mo_Salah?
      • 12 Years

      Yup! For Leicester.

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      Dont know if im hoping but i do believe it will be

    3. Amey
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy Jota owner.
      I am hopeful

    4. The Suspended One

      They are gong to miss gueye immensely

  24. No_Mo_Salah?
    • 12 Years

    A. Vardy + Trossard or B. Jimi + Fraser? Already have Wilson.

    Just noticed Villa's end of season run in when considering Wesley for my team, jeez, hope for their sake they aren't in a relegation battle. Awful run in

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      They are screwed

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Need only look at the first 4 gameweeks when picking a gameweek 1 team, with free transfers and or a early wildcard it will change very quickly anyways.

    3. Pumpkinhead
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      You know you can transfer players in and out right? Look 3-4 fixtures ahead and no more. Injruies, form, etc... change.

    4. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah I'm not saying I want him for the season, I'm just saying in general it's an awful run in

  27. Werner Bremen

    This is it. What do you say?

    Pope (Button)
    TAA, VVD, Digne, Zinchenko (Lundstram)
    Salah, Sterling, Siggy, Perez (Dendo)
    Wilson, Jota (Greenwood)

    1. Hog Roast Junkie

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Like how Siggy and Wilson gives you the flexibility to jump to KDB and King or Vardy and 7m mid if either KDB or Vardy start firing

        1. Werner Bremen

    With Sane out, any chance of Mahrez starting more often than not?

    1. Marmalade Forest
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I’m thinking more Bilva

        More than what? Bernardo was the attacking player that saw the most minutes last season in that City team.

          More than less, with KDB back, his minutes would surely have gone down in the City 4231

    I am so stuck on siggy or martial. What’s the consensus on here?

      Martial is basically nailed I think and potentially playing striker.

    Grealish! Don’t see anyone picking him... People don’t think he’ll do much?
