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.

      A) Greenwood + Ings

      B) Kane + Aubameyang

        Non-members wouldn't get it

    Luiz deal done .........Welcome to my team Zouma.......

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

      Seems a great option now.

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

        Yep he’s in my team

  3. Tomlette Greggs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    What combination would you rather begin the season with:

    A) VVD + Trossard + Pickford (also have Digne)

    B) Jota + Robertson + Heaton/Pope

    ?

    Thoughts appreciated.

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

      Neither, re-think imo

      1. Tomlette Greggs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks for the reply. Could you tell me why?

        Leaning towards Diogo Jota, Robbo, Heaton - but the EVE double-up at the back looks a decent shout for a couple of gameweeks.

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

          Everton defense is shakey without Gueye, Trossard is a punt

          Jota + VVD and a better keeper

  4. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone playing Mane?

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

      Casuals will.

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        those jammy casuals will probably win again

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

      I think he starts tomorrow

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        So do I. Can't see why would Klopp bench him if he's available.

  5. Corgz Dark side of the Loon

    Leicester fans does the new Leicester signing Praet effect Perez ??

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

      Not a Leicester fan but no I highly doubt it.

    2. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Unlikely.

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Nope, moreso tielemans

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

    If you had told me that Manchester City's transfer deadline day move would be Scott Carson last month...

    1. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      ....and Newcastle’s would be Andy Carroll.. 😆

  7. amonito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    What about this team?

    Pope (Ryan)
    VVD, TAA, Digne, Cathcart, (Kelly)
    Salah, Sterling, Moura, Fraser, (Dendoncker)
    Wilson, Wesley, (Greenwood)

    Thanks!

  8. Steirish
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Pope

    Digne VVD Laporte Dunk

    Salah Sterling Pepe Perez

    Wilson Jota

    Button / Dendonker / Rico / Greenwood

    How likely is pepe to start? as can be a place holder for son if it doesnt work out

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

      Switch Dunk to Montoya

    2. BooYaKasha
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Start with KDB and move to Pepe if he hits form

  9. Ambrosiana Inter
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Sane broken, bet Kun walks straight into the team

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

      or Jesus

  10. nobwak
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Best 4.5 def for the first few weeks?

    1. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Montoya

  11. pol
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    A- Digne Fraser Moura Wilson
    B- Montoya Fraser Barkley Kane
    C- Montoya Moura Barkley Kane

    1. danlynch13
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      A

  12. danlynch13
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Am I better to have
    A) Zinchenko and two 4.0 defenders

    Or

    B) two 4.5m Montoya plus another

    Thanks!

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

      A

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

      B if you need them to play.

      1. danlynch13
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        No just need one to play.. probably go with Zinchenko and then change up after few weeks

  13. Werner Bremen
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Lundstram or Rico?

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

      Lundstram no longer an option with basic signing, both might only last 1-2 games anyway

  14. Kobayashy
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Who are Chelsea's starting CBs now?

    1. Our Tiny Windows
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Zouma Christensen? Lord knows

    2. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Zouma + Christensen until Rudiger match fit.

  15. GE
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    What is the status of Laporte?
    Will he start?

    1. toerag
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      trained apparently

  16. Ed
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    A) Robertson, Moura, Trossard & Wickham
    or
    B) VVD, Bilva, Dendoncker & Wesley

  17. Our Tiny Windows
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Will Pepe start from the off?

    1. BoomXhakaLaca1
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I think he will with Iwobi gone

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

      Emery's previous comments weren't too encouraging, I would guess Mkhi starts first week, Pepe from GW2

  18. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone else looking to start with Willems (4.5, NEW)? Seems like an interesting attacking fullback maybe playing in a back five with a reputation of being a good crosser

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

    TEAM - 003 - £1.0m Bank
    Pope / Button
    Robertson / TAA / Dinge / Zouma / Lundstrom
    Salah / Sterling / Fraser / Perez / Dendoncker
    Wilson / Ings / Greenwood

    Got most of what I want

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

      Good except Ings

    2. BooYaKasha
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Put that 1m into your forward line

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

        Could be Ings>Jota

  20. Link
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Rotating 4.5s or Zouma and a 4? (Rico punt for gw1)

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

      Zouma and a 4

  21. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    David Luiz anyone?

    1. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      wasn't considered as a Chelsea option, certainly not a shoe-in now as an Arsenal option. And expensive, as well.

  22. toerag
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    any love for mcgoldrick??

    anyone??

  23. Cuchu
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Any thoughts on Camarasa? Only 5.0 and had quite good last season. Tempted to get him in for 5th MID, can score few goals but benchable with that price tag. How regularly he is going to start?

  24. The_Fish
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Zouma looks a bargain right now?

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

      When Kante is back protecting him. Not gonna get many cleansheets until then.

  25. Dr Mulholland
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Who is the best 4.5m fwd bench fodder, least likely to lose value, but still get some minutes?

    Am tempted by Wickham or Greenwood.

    1. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Anybody who is likely to get minutes will not get enough minutes and will be the first to drop in value.
      I've got a completely useless 4.5m forward, Janssen from Tottenham who is out on loan for the next year!

      1. Dr Mulholland
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Good points. Ta

  26. Egg noodle
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Zinchenko good option? I dont have any subs lol

  27. Simply Loveleh
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Wilson and martial or siggy and fraser

  28. finnish92
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Trossard or Barkley in gw1?
    I have already Montoya from Brighton...

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

      Still Trossard IMO

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

      I have Barkley. Chelsea number 10 for 6m... seems a steal.

  29. beric
    • 12 Years

    who's first choice goalie for Brighton?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
