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.

    1. GE

    Thanks

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

      I think Drinkwater, but judging by Dyche’s comments he does not go straight in.

  11. Atwood
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone going with Barkley?

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

      I’m wait and see

    2. The Nuttman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No, I've backed Pereyra in the 6m or lower spot.

    3. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I was but decided no surprises and found .5 for Perez

    4. Our Tiny Windows
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. Great value.

    5. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years

      On my bench for GW 1.

    6. Jebiga
      • 11 Years

      i think i will go

    7. There's Always One!
      • 14 Years

      He has to be worth a punt

    8. Gravy_Davey
      • 10 Years

      Yep

  12. The Nuttman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Kurt Zouma an option with D.Luiz gone?

    1. Our Tiny Windows
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I thought he was an option anyway

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Straight into my team

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        He took out KWP

    3. The Nuttman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Cheers both 🙂

  13. T.Henry14
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I have some problems with my team.

    For now:

    Heaton, Pope
    Arnold, VVD, Montoya, Morgan, Lundstram
    Salah, Bernardo, Martial, Ayoze, Dendoncker
    Kane, Wilson, King

    First, Is Morgan nailed? I don't think so. If not, who is the better choice for 4.5M? I want to play 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 and Morgan or another defender will rotate with Montoya.

    Secondly, King. King + Wilson, too much? If yes, who instead of King? Jota, Ings, Murray.. or 4.5M player and upgrade Dendoncker with 6.5 mid and play 3-5-2 formation.

    Two dilemas for me until deadline.

  14. Kizza_10
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A or B please.

    A. Wilson & Tielemans

    B. King & Martial

    1. The Nuttman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      B.

  15. Giovanni Giorgio
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Greenwood seems like a prime candidate to drop to 4.3 in the first couple of weeks, no?

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Surely not that many people are expecting him to start...

      1. Giovanni Giorgio
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Just wait and see...

    2. Bruce Lee
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      yes

    3. Oooof
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I think he’ll get a chance off the bench against Chelsea

    4. There's Always One!
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      It looks like he'll definitely be an option of the bench so he should get points per game. Just depends what people expect. 1pt per game for me

    5. The Nuttman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I've gone with Martinelli because nobody owns him lol

    6. _nod
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'm assuming people will have more important things to sort out than bench fodder.

  16. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone know if jetro Willems will start for Newcastle? I know it's an obscure question but there's not many exciting 4.5s

  17. Polar_Bear
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is Ben Gibson viable at 4m? Between him and Montoya

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

      Non-starter.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Tarks stayed so Gibbo isn't gonna start.

      1. Polar_Bear
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

        Cheers both

    Complete!

    Deano, 4.0
    TAA, Robbo, Digne, Soyuncu, (Diop)
    Salah, Sterling, Bilva, Perez, (Dendoncker)
    Wilson, Wood, (Greenwood)

    1. Our Tiny Windows
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Good luck!

  21. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

    KDB or Vardy?

    1. Our Tiny Windows
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      KDB

  22. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Had Andy Carroll not been added to FPL for West Ham?

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He was a free agent.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Would explain it.

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks chaps

  23. There's Always One!
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is Wilson worth the extra 1.5m or just go with King?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wilson

    2. jimmyabs1987
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      100%, King never delivers when Wilson on the pitch...

    3. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wilson, because it allows you to reach Haller/Jimenez/Chelsea if necessary.

      Personally got Wilson + Wood, mainly to represent their price point so I can move to the better players later on more easily

      1. There's Always One!
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Good plan that!

        Thanks guys

  24. FC Bama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Laporte seems less popular than before. Other than short term injury, how do you rate him as a long-term prospect?

    1. bitars
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Perfect choice long term, the only nailed defender in City.

    2. FC Bama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      AND how do you rate him vs. Digne (if Everton may not have the number of clean sheets as with second half of last season?

      Sorry for the addendum

      Thanks

    3. yer old da
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He’ll play at the weekend and a great season-long pick

  25. LL Cool Oris
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Pope (Ryan)
    TAA - Robbo - AWB - KWP (Kelly)
    Salah - KDB - Moura - JWP (Dendoncker)
    Auba - Kean (Greenwood)

    Any thoughts please? This is doing my nut!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Kean to start? Looks a bit GW1 ish outside Kean.

  26. bitars
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Most nailed Spurs defender?

    Would you take Vertongen with no offensive points or try with Rose?

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

      Vertonghen if you have too, but City (a) to come

  27. davewg59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I know they are different prices but who is best to go with
    Bilva or Perez?

    1. Our Tiny Windows
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I have both I’m afraid

  28. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    RMT appreciated!

    Ryan
    VVD, Robertson, Digne, Zouma/KWP
    Salah, Sterling, Perez, Robinson
    Kane, King

    (Button, Dendoncker, Lundstram, Greenwood)

    Cheers.

  29. Loftus cheeky nandos
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A- Wilson + jota + Montoya + 0.5 mill

    B- Wilson + Jiménez + lundstram

  30. Zilla
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Perez et Vardy overkill?

    1. jimmyabs1987
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I have both as think they could come good

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

      I’ve got both which might be a weakness
