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.

    Weird one - but if I get a Chelsea defender (Zouma or Christensen) what's the better play?

    A. Ederson and Barkley/Troussard
    B. 7.5 mid, 4.5 keeper - but either have no City defender/lose one pool defender

  2. Milk, 1 Šuker

    Anything wrong with M. Keane as an option?

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

      Digne being 0.5 more and far superior would be the immediate thought

      Same price as Coleman and Mina, but less attacking threat.

      Does he start GW1?

      1. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I'd say so yeah. Who's opposing him?

  3. Daniel Exeter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Barkley or Jota?

    1. Benditlike
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Jota

    2. Alexon00
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Jota

    3. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Jota.

    4. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I was going Barkley, but I fear groupthink got me into that and will probably talk me out of it too 🙂

  4. Tshelby

    4 years, 7 months ago

    Doesn’t feel good that I’ve got 0.5 ITB...

    Score out of 10?

    Pope, Button
    Digne, VvD, Robbo, Montoya, Diop
    Salah, Sterling, Moura, Trossard, Dendoncker
    King, Vardy, Greenwood

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

      That .5 could come in well handy if you fancy picking up a Kean or an Abraham for GW2.

    2. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Solid 8. I like it...

    3. Are you Shaw?
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I got 2 Mil in the bank.. having any money in the bank is essential in terms of avoiding an early wildcard

      As for your team, I think its perfect tbh... With Moura to a Martial maybe in gameweek 2 already set

  5. Ninjaa
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Think im set. Thoughts?

    Ryan (Button)
    Robertson Digne Zinchenko ( Rico Lundstrom)
    Sterling Salah Moura Perez (Dendonker)
    Vardy King Wood...

    1. super zlatan
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Very nice.

    2. il Brutto
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure on the defence. All out of Zinchenko, Rico, Lundstram could lose their spots rather quickly. Mid and Attack look good.

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

    Ryan
    TAA/VVD/Rico/Digne
    Salah/Sigurdsson/Martial/Sterling
    Wood/King

    Heaton/Grealish/Greenwood/Lundstram

    Opinions? Thanks.

      What is grealish doing on the bench?

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

        Waiting his turn to come in for gw2 🙂

  7. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Arsenal fans, who'll partner Luiz at centre half? Sokratis?

    1. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Holding or Sokratis

    2. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Arsenal CB's are as usefull as dick flavoured lollipops.

      1. super zlatan
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Lol

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sokratis

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

      Chambers, maybe.

  8. Cuchu
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 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?

  9. Rhodes your boat
    • 7 Years

    Decisions

    A) taa zouma
    B) vvd awb

    Also own robbo

    Heaton
    Coleman Montoya VVD

    Button Lundstram Dendoncker Diop

    Have fun this season

    1. Benditlike

      Go for it

    2. MosF94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      King > Ings/Adams, Norwood > Robinson

      Kane, Auba, Salah, KDB is a fun front 4!

  11. james 101
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Good enough? Any big mistakes??

    Pope
    VVD Robbo MaGuire
    Salah Sterling Fraser Perez Zaha
    Wood Wilson

    Button Nketiah Lunds Kelly

    Thanks!!!!

    1. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Doubt Zaha will be ready to play

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

      Nketiah is a mistake.

    3. Critical Observer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Lundstram is another mistake, won’t play.

  12. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Are camarasa and Drinkwater likely to be first team at palace and Burnley?

  13. Ed
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Firmino anyone? Seems to be overlooked

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      More value elsewhere imo

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Doesn’t look fit to me.

    3. Critical Observer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Looks like a butch dyke to me.

  14. Toon_Army666
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A or B?

    A; 4-5-1
    Ryan
    Holebas, VVA, Zinchenko, KWP

    Moura, Sterling, Salah, Trossard, Fraser.

    Auba

    B; 3-5-2
    Ryan

    VVA, Zinchenko, KWP

    Pulisic, Salah, Sterling, Moura, Fraser

    Wilson, Kean

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

      Very different to most, good on you.

      I like A maybe shift off Holebas if you can though

  15. elchilangles
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    too risky to go for TC on GW1?!

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

      Yes way too risky

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

      No go for it, possibly your best chance to top the weekly charts.

      1. super zlatan
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        If Salah hits a brace then you will be licking your chops.
        I say go for it.

  16. Punter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Blimey it's moving fast in here! Hoping for a reply cheers guys

    How's this squad?

    Heaton (Stek)
    Digne - VVD - TAA/Robbo - Duffy (Lund)
    Salah(C) - Sterling - Perez - Lucas Moura (Dend)
    King - Vardy (Wickham)

    Bench too weak?

    Options I like are:
    A) Vardy, King, Duffy > Wilson, Wood, Zinch
    B) Vardy, Dend > Wood, Felipe Anderson (bench him gw1 then play 4-5-1, transfer Wood, Duffy for 4.5 + City D gw3)

    1. Benditlike
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Squad looks good. Personally if would swap Duffy for Montoya

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

        Have been toying with that idea too. You think he's a better shout for attacking returns?
        Duffy has a few goals in him too

    2. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Just a small suggestion - With Sheff U signing Besic, Lund might not see any minutes at all, thus a drop in value incoming. Otherwise, option A.

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

    2 seasons ago you could fit Salah, Sterling, Son, Aguero and Kane (with 2/3 premium defenders). If you can have 3 of them then you're living now 😀

  18. only2
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Montoya a risk to start now? Dunk in stead?

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

      Seems like he's starting but from what I've read Dunk is nailed

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      who did they bring in as competition?

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

        They signed a full back earlier

  19. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A) Zouma and King
    B) Zinchenko/Coleman and Ings.

    Other 2 defenders VVD and TAA.

  20. aapoman
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    KDB + King or Siggy + Wilson

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

      A only because I don’t see so much diff between Wilson and King. Kdb vs Siggy is really hard

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Siggy + Wilson

  21. il Brutto
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A) Trent, Cathcart, Greenwood

    Pope
    Trent - Cathcart - Robertson - Digne
    Salah - Sterling - Moura - Richarlison
    Wilson - Ings

    Button, Dendoncker, Lundstram, Greenwood

    B) Dawson, A. Smith, Deeney

    Pope
    Dawson - Robertson - Digne
    Salah - Sterling - Moura - Richarlison
    Wilson - Ings - Deeney

    Button, A. Smith, Dendoncker, Lundstram

  22. GE
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    What to do? 🙂

    1) Digne, KDB and Jota/King
    2) Zouma, Siggy and Vardy

    1. kj3llern

  23. kj3llern
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I have Fraser.

    King or Deeney?

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

      King essential. Deeney's a donkey.

      1. super zlatan
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Agreed

  24. toerag

    its like sat morn @ 11:15

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Not even close

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

      Just wait until tomorrow late afternoon

    3. toerag
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      nearly... i forget sometimes 😆

  25. Steve McCroskey
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Presumably Jota being subbed off at 60min mark bodes well for him starting on the weekend?

  26. Oscar Slater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Does my memory serve me well and Laporte was an absolute bonus beast towards the tail end of last season?

  27. BucketHead
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Kane and debruyne or Wilson and sterling??

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Count up how many times you'd captain Kane in the first few weeks and how many times you'd captain Sterling. Go with whoever has the highest number.

  28. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Assuming both start, better option?
    A. Zouma
    B. Christensen
    C. Not worth investment early on

    1. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      maybe c KWP could be good for first few weeks then can be swapped to either of them when its a bit clearer

  29. BOATIES FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A Maguire and Zinchenko
    B Digne and KWP

    (for first few fxtures. I know KWP is not really a long term option)

  30. Sammy S
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    What do people think of Lacazette?

    Will he start (and be upfront) all the time when fit?

    1. Dacra
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      In my team. Hoping news tomorrow.
