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?

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

      Mostly good. Would prefer Sterling over Silva

      1. Blue Moon Rising
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Just need to find a spare 4m for that.

    2. BooYaKasha
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Kane has to go

  4. mdm
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Which option:

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

    Thanks!

      B

  5. Manani
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Digne worth .5m more than Coleman?

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

      Yes

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

    Best 4.5 defenders?

    1. headfried
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months 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
        4 years, 7 months ago

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

  7. Ode
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A) Digne & Van Dijk
    B) Zinchenko & Robertson

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years

      A

    2. headfried

      A

    3. rookie manager
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B

  8. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

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

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Vardy

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

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

  9. FPL99
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    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
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Will walker get gametime ?

  10. Hinchcliffe Thumper
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

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

    1. Hinchcliffe Thumper
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

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

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months 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
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

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

        Big up Andy Capp!

      It’s excellent

      1. HollywoodXI

        Thanks! 🙂

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

      I would not go with 2 cheap forwards. Good luck

    3. BUZZBOMB
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months 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
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months 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
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months 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
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Then why do you even start with them?

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

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

  13. ZakyJ
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months 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
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months 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
      • 7 Years

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

  15. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Needs changes?:

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

    Button/ Lundstram/ Dendocker/ Greenwood

    Thanks!

    1. BooYaKasha

  24. balint84

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

  25. Gregorini
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months 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
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Get rid of long it's a waste of 0.5

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

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

  26. Brian Boitano
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

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

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Errr - no! 😉

      1. Brian Boitano
        • 11 Years

        I’m thinking of taking a punt

    Pick one:

    B. Zinchenko + Perez + 0.5

    Thanks guys!

    1. -GK22-
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      B

    2. Nemes1s
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months 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

    1) or 2) please?

    1. GE
      • 7 Years

    2. Old Man
