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.

      I'm happy to start with Bilva. Think he may mildly underperform his pricetag, but think he's pretty guaranteed to get something at least over the first few weeks, which the likes of Martial / Moura definitely aren't.. Can always switch to the form player early on

    Guys, which combo please

    1. Kane & Montoya
    2. Wilson & Moura

    Moura will be replaced after being dropped

    I'll also have a 5m midfielder to rotate with Montoya if necessary in option 1

    ignoring players for a moment, thoughts on the wildcards. what about setting up a known team of solid players who will all play and score pts using bench boost in week one. avoids selection issues, gives flexibility on surprises after GW1, and makes sure no passengers. i dont like these teams heavily weighted to the predicatbale names - so much dead wood to make up for them....

    Wow this is really great window for Spurs. They seem to finally fill a hole in the midfield after Dembele left. Ndombele Alli and Lo Celso also all under 23 so great future in front of them. However to compete with Man city and Lfc they need more creativity on the wings in my opinion. Someone like Mahrez, Sane or Mane. I tip to return to their best this season nevertheless and for me now they are favourites foe the 3rd place.

      Yes I’m doubling up. The way I see it is it’s just like owning one with Fraser and picking between the two is impossible with their prices. Also I don’t think it’s possible to have SSK and be happy with the rest of your team
