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.

      Looks fine

    3. BooYaKasha
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Downgrade Keane and upgrade Trossard imo

      1. goneill79
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Everton fan in work said he’s look incredible in training.Finishing has been frightening apparently

    4. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Might be too soon for Keen. Not a fan of Wolves in the opening weeks.

      1. goneill79

        Against Palace who shipped 4 goals in there last pre season game....half fit will do

      2. Moore FPL
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, I'm not sure why all the Kean love @ 7M, reckon there's better options...

  2. Gw287
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    I've gone for Heaton and Pope as a rotating pair but now I'm hesitating. Any chance one of them might be 2nd keeper behind either Hart or Villa's keeper??

    1. Moore FPL
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I'm not on them but reckon they'll both start

  3. Moore FPL
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Best 7M or below striker?

    1. AriseSirGiggsy

          Thanks. I like this but fixtures putting me of.

    2. 1zverGGadeM

      1. Moore FPL
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Deulo could be an option, thanks

    3. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      King and Deeney to start, then Jota?

      1. Moore FPL
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, I'm on King atm.
        Then maybe switch at GW3.

  4. Fpl Richie

    5 years, 2 months ago

    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

    1. The Nuttmxn

      A seems fine to me, seems worded to be the one you'd prefer as well.

      Zouma a risk, get rid of greenwood for a.n. Other 4.5

        Why is Zouma a risk?

        1. AriseSirGiggsy
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Christensen, Rudiger

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years

            Rudiger injured isn't he?

            1. Fpl Richie

              Ah I see - back in training. Back to square one on Chelsea then!

          2. Moore FPL
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Rudiger is injured

            1. AriseSirGiggsy
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              Ok Zouma might get to play away at OT
              After that it’s game on

    2. NotsoSpursy
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      oh really? Zouma seems to be a popular pick today. will have another look
      Ta

    "Leicester City have signed Belgium attacking central midfielder Dennis Praet from Sampdoria for a reported £18m."

    what will this mean for our Leicester mids? Pérez, maddison, Tielemans...?
    They / we need to worry?

    1. Brosstan
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Ive always found it a bit deluded to believe Perez is anything close to nailed in that team and this just makes it even more so.

      1. AriseSirGiggsy
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Had him, ditched due to fixtures
        This confirms I’ll keep him out and monitor

    2. AriseSirGiggsy
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      He’s more of a forward than a midfielder

  9. Paulie Walnuts
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Worth risking zouma? Will Christensen take his place once Rudiger is back?

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Doubt it.

    Any chance of a quick RMT please?

    Ryan Button

  11. Brosstan

    No way Besic takes Lundstram's spot. Hes earned it during pre season.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

      or lost it last game.

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Sheffield fans seem to disagree. Lots of comments about how Lundy was never going to be nailed in PL.

      Im on hanley

    ehem...

    McGoldrick anyone??

    Ryan Button
    Robertson VVD Rico (2 4.5s)
    Salah Sterling Perez Moura (dendoncker)

    Got 2 Mil in the bank

    Need suggestions for two rotating 4.5 defenders please

    1. DivocksHighSocks
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I've gone Soyuncu and Fredericks

      1. Are you Shaw?
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        yeah ive heard a lot of noise surrounding Soyuncu. Hopefully he's nailed on with Maguire departing

  14. yanky
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    a) Moura + King vs Jota + Fraser
    b) Pope Heaton vs Pope Button bank 0.5m

  15. Danstoke82
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Not seeing Harry kane in a lot of drafts. Any reasoning behind this? Basically I’m trying to justify taking him out of mine but can’t see a reason.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Only counts tomorrow 😉

    2. Are you Shaw?
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I thought about him but having City away is a problem. Although he may score its more likely that he wouldn't. Assuming he gets 9 pts in the first game and 2 in the second, I am sure there are cheaper alternatives that can match/outscore him.

    3. onceuponatyne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Because not many people have Kane, Sterling and Salah...

      and of the three if one has to go - Kane.

      It'll be a different decision for different people, no wrong answer.

      (Yes you can have all three but the sacrifices elsewhere make it a poor option IMO).

      1. Danstoke82
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Must admit releasing some funds by dropping him would really help my team but just can’t bring myself to do it

        1. onceuponatyne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Have you gone for all three big-hitters?

          For me all the real value of pounds to points is with the midfield and defence options.
          It's very hard to take advantage of that with Kane, Salah and Sterling.

          If you have to drop one... it's hard to not pick Kane (even if he's a good price).

          If one of Salah/Sterling was injured - 90% of teams would have Kane.

          1. Danstoke82
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Currently I have all three. Team stands like this at the mo;

            Pope
            VVD Digne KWP AWB
            Salah Sterling Perez Fraser
            Kane Adams

            Subs; Button Deondocker Greenwood BJohnson

            Owning all three destroying the balance in my team do you think?

            1. onceuponatyne
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              Not for me, one of the best Kane/Sterling/Salah sides I've seen, truly.

              It's just not as good as a lot of the Sterling/Salah sides I've seen, IMO.

              It's all personal taste though.

              1. Danstoke82
                • 10 Years
                5 years, 2 months ago

                Thanks for the feedback. Out of interest what would you change?

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Having 3 premium attackers is not viable so must have had to choose between Sterling and Kane assuming Salah is essential.
      Sterling looks the better choice and should have better returns than Kane over the opening weeks. I think most are waiting for a budget midfielder to emerge and then this will allow funds to upgrade in attack later on and jump on Kane/Auba if they are playing well.

      1. Danstoke82
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Vardy a worthwhile downgrade? Trying to think of two strikers I could play in a 4-4-2

  16. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    No love for Siggy lately, why is that ?

    Are there any playing 4m defenders left?

  18. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Jota seems more popular tonight, I take it the assists and early substitution have confirmed him for some?

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Also cheaper than Jime.

    2. Mo Mané No Problems
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Form over fixtures

  19. Baps hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Which?

    A) Digne + Dunk (/Montoya)
    B) Coleman + Zouma

  20. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    I know the vast majority are on a 4.5 keeper but I’ve been on Ederson for a while.

    Best to use the money on upgrading a 5.0 midfielder to a 6.5 or will Ederson outscore them?

    Currently:
    Ederson (4.0)
    TAA / VVD / Digne / C Taylor (Diop)
    Salah / Sterling / Moura / Norwood (Dendoncker)
    Vardy / King (Greenwood)

    Thanks

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Perez perhaps, but coin toss imo.

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks. Perez would be who I was thinking of. Reckon a double up on Leicester is too much? I think they’ll have a good season.

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          You have Vardy. Perhaps stick to Ederson... Very close call. Perez will rise more in price than Vardy (cheaper, underpriced) and their first fixtures aren't all nice. Therefore I have only Perez.

          1. PascalCygan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Nice one, thanks

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I was set on Ederson, but Zinchenko is cheaper with higher ceiling.

    3. jtreble
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      "... I know the vast majority are on a 4.5 keeper but I’ve been on Ederson for a while ...". Agree. Ederson was in last season's "Value 11". The only 4.5 keeper last year that was close was Ryan.

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers. Seems the most reliable route to the City defence for now, and I’d like a piece of that defence!
