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.

    Could be some value in strikers this season.

    Wilson, Jimenez, Haller, Kean, Jota, Chelsea

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      adams and wood too

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      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.

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Definitely.. Plus cheap options like king, ings/adams, Wesley, Wood.. Cant remember fpl having so many good striker options

    4. Lion-O
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Agreed.
      Currently on Wilson, Wesley, Woods.

      I have two of those.

  2. balint84
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    X) Digne+KWP
    Y) Coleman+Zinchenko

  3. Bruce Lee
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    why the martial love?

    1. Manani
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      OOP player for 7.5m

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        he is playing st?

        is he even nailed?

        1. _nod
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Not 100%, but likely.

    2. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      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

      1. Pumpkinhead
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        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.

        1. TheDragon
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          WHEN HE GETS MINUTES

          1. Pumpkinhead
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Why wouldn't a proven point scorer (meaning he gets goals and assist) be nailed on?

          2. Bruce Lee
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            hahahahahahah

        2. Bruce Lee
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          a lot of rotation in there

          if he had a full season he would be great

          no doubt about if he is worth it when on form

          1. Pumpkinhead
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            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.

            1. Bruce Lee
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              lmao

              1. Pumpkinhead
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                k

              2. Pumpkinhead
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                HMU at the end of the season with how many weeks you owned Martial.

    3. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      OOP, less competition with Kaku gone, looked good in pre season

    4. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      So we feel MU are going with 2 strikers?
      If he goes with 1 striker its Rashford I think

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        martial could still be on the wing

      2. Poseidon.
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        We will likely play Rashy on the wing

        1. Bruce Lee
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          martial up top?

          1. Poseidon.
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah exactly bro

            1. Bruce Lee
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              lovely

    5. Bruce Lee

        what about james ?is he not first team ?

        1. Bruce Lee
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

    Pope

    Wood Wilson

    McG Greenwood Soy Guilbert

  7. Where dahoud at
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Pick 1

    A. Aubameyang
    B. Kane

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      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

      1. Where dahoud at
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        See im thanking the same, and Aubameyang as been in great form pre season, he could have a field day at newcastle, but also kane could have a field day at villa lol

      2. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I don't think he would drop at all, let alone 3 times

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          It's early season madness.. Expensive striker who blanks with a tough away game next and a plethora of cheap strikers scoring... Recipe for disaster

          1. Where dahoud at
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            So which one is the beat option lol

  8. Ziyech on the Bench
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone else going no Leicester?

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Only those who don’t like points

  9. LangerznMash
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    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.

    1. FPL_DON
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Moura with a view to martial imo

      1. LangerznMash
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I think so too, just concerned Martial will rise £0.1m so I can't do it :/

    2. Oscar Slater

  10. tommo-uk-
    • 11 Years

    A) Stones/Bilva/Perez

    B) Digne/Fraser/Moura

  11. jorgenoj
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Which option?

    A) Wilson + Dunk
    B) Jota + Digne

    1. tommo-uk-
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Have you got Fraser?

  12. jdp219

      TAA, Robertson, Salah, Sterling, Vardy, Donck.

    2. DantheManinaPan

    3. Freshy

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Yes - in my sqaud

    2. Gravy_Davey

      Just put him in my squad.

  22. Valar(Keith)
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I almost feel like I'm going with SSK just to show off my gw 1 team lol. With soooo many options sub 8 it just doesn't make sense but I just can't get myself to switch

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      BDE right here.

    2. Atwood
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      What's the rest of your team looking like? Just got Kane in for the first time myself.

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Pope
        VVD Digne KWP (Montoya Mings)
        Sterling Salah Perez Robinson (Dendonker)
        Kane Jota king
        The thing is I like my entire team.. If I downgrade Kane apart from getting Robbo in defense I wouldn't know what to do.. I don't want too much invested in defense long term either and feel I've found a perfectly functional defense already

    3. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      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

      1. Lebowski85

        • 14 Years

        Haha. You may have just convinced me. May just go auba.. I won't feel bad about downgrading him after 2 weeks if he blanks and can get Kane or son gw 3 instead if he does.

  23. yer old da
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    A. KDB and rotating 4.5 defenders (probably Dunk and Cathcart)
    or
    B. Sigurdsson and Laporte?

    1. Aubaaaaa
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      B, if you have sterling or Aguero.

  24. Aubaaaaa

    If a player gets loaned or sold to a club outside the league, will his price be locked for the entire season?

      Nope

      KWP by a mile

      1. FPL.team
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Explain?

  27. ZakyJ
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    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
