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.

    Could be some value in strikers this season.

    Wilson, Jimenez, Haller, Kean, Jota, Chelsea

      Agreed, if all were fit and ready (or clear starters) it would probably be 343 for me from the start. Kean and Haller could be great.

      Potentially nailed on to start in an attacking role - is proven FPL point scorer when he gets minutes and he costs 7.5

      There is a lot to like

      Most I expect will monitor for a couple of weeks but if he cements a place he will quickly become a bandwagon

        proven point scorer? 120 points per season is weak for 7.5

        Better odds of him doing well this year given Lukaku's departure but surely still a wait and see.

          if he had a full season he would be great

          no doubt about if he is worth it when on form

            We've said this about x player before. It doesn't always come off that way. Fatigue, fitness, all play a role in it. Has he at times been a super sub, yes but we've seen super sub try to transition to full-time 90 min men and it doesn't work out. As I said, more of a wait and see.

      Would you hold onto Kane and suck up probably a 0.3 drop if he blanks vs Villa (City away after that). I'm thinking I'll end up kneejerking him out if that happened lol

    Last decision I have.
    A) Lucas
    B) Martial

    Keep switching between the two. I think Lucas will score higher early on with the home fixtures against Villa and Newcastle, and is pretty nailed with Alli injured.

      3 easy steps to forget SSK

      1. Identify that you won’t captain Kane GW1 (as you will captain Salah)

      2. Identify that you don’t even want Kane against City GW2

      3. Realise based on this there is no need to start with him and you could get him for GW3 or even Son as lots will have changed by then

    My current team:

    Pope / Button
    Zinch/ KWP / VVD / Montoya (Rico)
    Salah / KDB / Perez / Barkley (Dendo)
    Kane / Auba (Wickham)
    0.5itb

    What should I do?
    Stick
    Can go Zouma instead of KWP
    Can upgrade any player by 0.5 (Digne, Coleman come to mind)
    Downgrade Barkley to Camarasa and upgrade def. Makes me less flexible for any decent prices middies I might need to move too

    Thanks

    What
