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.

    For non-members, is there a way to know how many double-digit hauls did a player sore last season? If possible, which game week and/or against which opposition? Thanks!

    All these teams I’m seeing without the best defender in the world, the best LB in the world, and the no-brainer set-and-forget midfielders.

    Surely it’s VVD, Robbo, Salah and Sterling plus 11?

    1. Cruz88
      • 9 Years

      They're in every team posted on here for the last few weeks as far as I can tell!

      You misspelt Macguire and Shaw there

      Mostly good. Would prefer Sterling over Silva

      1. Blue Moon Rising
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Just need to find a spare 4m for that.

    2. BooYaKasha
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Kane has to go

  4. mdm
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Which option:

    A. Zouma, Moura and Auba
    B. VVD, Barkley and Kane

    Thanks!

  5. Manani

    Digne worth .5m more than Coleman?

    1. Ode
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  6. Atwood
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Best 4.5 defenders?

    1. headfried
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Don't know if best, but OOP Montoya Brighton 4.5, there was a QnA on here and got a mention as an attacking punt. Lundstram Sheffield United 4.0, not guaranteed but manager has said he will play his part and is actually a midfielder.

      1. FPL.team
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Sheff Utd midfielder signing put's Lundstram at risk now probably.

  7. Ode
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A) Digne & Van Dijk
    B) Zinchenko & Robertson

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      B

  8. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years

    For the first two:
    A) KDB
    Or
    B) Vardy
    ?

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Cheers. Reckon he will do well against Wolves and Chelsea?

  9. FPL99

    Pope (Button)

    TAA Robertson Walker-Peters( Lundstram) (Kelly)

    Salah Sterling Perez Pereyra (Hayden)

    Kane Ings Murray

    1. Hinchcliffe Thumper

      Like your forwards.

    2. Mr. Grv
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Will walker get gametime ?

  10. Hinchcliffe Thumper
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    How do you see Fabian Delph's gametime and fpl prospects when fit?

    1. Hinchcliffe Thumper
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      5.5, allocated as DEF, but doesn't he play predominantly midfield?

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

      Unsure.Could be used anywhere .
      Have a feeling though he’ll rotate with Gbamin alongside Gomes.
      Gbamin can also play CB so Delph could get the midfield spot permanently when fit.

      1. Hinchcliffe Thumper
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thought he might be first choice to take Idrissa Gueye's place.

        Big up Andy Capp!

    2. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      I would not go with 2 cheap forwards. Good luck

    3. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Risky. Could end up with only 8 starters at some point, even this week and with those fires no flexibility to bring in an 11m few or a 9.5m mid if one explodes without hits and sacrificing Sterling.

  12. The Legend Squad
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I think those going for Sterling Salah Kane will have to be extremely disciplined. Bandwagons in the £6-9m range WILL emerge. It’s about having the guts to cut one of the big three to bring one or two of them in.

    Rule of thumb for me is done change your core team after week 1, and even after week 2 maybe just maintenance changes. A bandwagon rarely lasts after 1 or 2 weeks good form...

    1. Hinchcliffe Thumper
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      One's tactic might be to ditch one premium for emerging 6-9mil player and release lot of money to spend elsewhere.

      1. Brosstan
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Then why do you even start with them?

    2. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      But I have Jota, King, Perez and Barkley too so I can still move to the bandwagons if needed....

  13. ZakyJ
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed

    Any thouget on My current team:

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

    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

    1. ZakyJ
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Just seen could also do Zinch > Zouma and Barkley > Zaha

  14. suddenorgan

    Anyone want to talk me out of Tammy Abraham?

    1. Tomerick

      Not nailed.

    2. Our Tiny Windows
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      He’s in my Sun team but he only costs 2.0!

  15. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Needs changes?:

    Lloris
    VVD/ Zinchenko/ Digne/ Zouma
    Salah/ Sterling/ Perez/ Trossard
    King/ Kane

    Button/ Lundstram/ Dendocker/ Greenwood

    Thanks!

    1. BooYaKasha

      Lloris > Ryan and Zinc > Laporte

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  20. JELLYFISH

    Anyone else considering Suyuncu? Fancy Leicester was this season and a potential bargain at 4.5

  21. wattalowz

    A) Zinc + VVD

    1. JELLYFISH

  24. balint84
    • 8 Years

    which is a better combo?
    A) Digne+KWP
    B) Coleman+Zinchenko

  25. Gregorini
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts please:

    Ederson
    VVD/AWB/Boly
    Salah/Sterling/Grealish/Rice
    Kane/Rashford/Long

    Bench: Button/Diop/Dendoncker/Stearman

    Rice and Long feels weak but I've had to sacrifice for the big names, so ideas welcome

    1. BoomXhakaLaca1
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Get rid of long it's a waste of 0.5

      1. Gregorini
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, who would start at that price though? Not keen on starting Diop or Dendoncker

  26. Brian Boitano
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Has Doherty been completely overlooked? Just because he has a higher price tag doesn’t mean he won’t do well.

    1. Errr - no! 😉

      1. Brian Boitano
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I’m thinking of taking a punt

      1. Like, who?

  27. Mr. Grv

    B. Zinchenko + Perez + 0.5

    Thanks guys!

    1. -GK22-
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Nemes1s
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Have a similar dilemma and think I'm opting towards B. I really want both Fraser and Wilson but I'm not sure their opening 6 fixtures merit 2 Bournemouth players.

  30. GE
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    1) or 2) please?

    1. GE
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      (have Robertson and Sterling)

      1) Kdb, VVD and Vert
      2) Siggy, TAA and Laporte

    2. Old Man
      • 13 Years

      Definitely 2) - whoever he is.
