Wolves excel in a 3-4-3 again as owners await further Jimenez injury news

Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 Aston Villa

  • Goals: Ruben Neves (£5.3m), Raul Jimenez (£7.3m) | Trezeguet (£5.2m)
  • Assists: Joao Moutinho (£5.3m), Adama Traore (£5.2m) | None
  • Bonus: Jimenez, Neves x3, Trezeguet x1

Nuno Espirito Santo’s return to a 3-4-3 has helped unlock Wolverhampton Wanderers’ attacking potential in the past few months.

Since the Wolves head coach revisited the formation in earnest in Gameweek 6, the West Midlands club have shown steady improvement.

Santo’s troops are indeed unbeaten in the top flight since that 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace, a run that stretches back seven league games.

They have also scored in every match over that period.

It’s not quite as simplistic as basic formation choices, of course: Wolves’ fixture schedule from Gameweeks 1 to 5 was tricky and they faced some of the division’s meanest defences during that run.

Since then, they have encountered rather more obliging backlines in the form of Aston Villa, Arsenal and Watford.

Still, there has been more than just circumstantial evidence to back up the increased goal threat.

Take the fixture against Newcastle in Gameweek 10: three shots on goal in a 3-5-2 in the opening 45 minutes and then ten attempts after the break when a 3-4-3 was deployed.

There were similar second-half improvements in matches against Southampton and Slovan Bratislava in October, with Santo again turning to a 3-4-3 at the interval.

Sunday’s victory over Aston Villa continued the trend, with the hosts racking up 17 shots at Molineux, taking their total to 51 since the second half kicked off at St. James’ Park a fortnight ago.

Yes, Villa were without key figures such as Tom Heaton (£4.5m), Bjorn Engels (£4.5m) and Jack Grealish (£5.9m).

And yes, Dean Smith’s side have made a habit of conceding a lot of chances this season.

But this was one of Wolves’ best offensive performances of 2019/20, with the narrow scoreline not reflecting their total dominance.

It had looked like being a frustrating afternoon for the increasing number of Fantasy managers who own Raul Jimenez (£7.3m), who had sliced wide on four occasions before latching onto Adama Traore‘s (£5.2m) cut-back on 83 minutes to put Wolves 2-0 up and effectively kill the game.

Diogo Jota‘s (£6.1m) owners didn’t experience such late-in-the-day joy.

The Portuguese striker blanked for the ninth time in ten appearances and collected a yellow card to boot but there were a handful of decent openings for the mid-price FPL forward, who nodded straight at Orjan Nyland (£4.3m) from close range and saw the substitute Villa keeper smother another effort from inside the six-yard box.

The man who replaced Jota late on, Pedro Neto (£5.0m), also fired wide when well-placed in stoppage time.

Santo hailed his side’s display but also bemoaned the profligacy in front of goal, saying:

We played very, very good – very, very well. We dominated the game, especially in the first half. We created a lot of problems for Villa, a lot of chances.

When you produce so many things, you must finish the actions. This what we’re going to analyse now as we broke a lot of times and we had chances, but some we didn’t finish.

Part of the reason why a 3-4-3 has been so successful has been the pairing of Traore with Matt Doherty (£6.0m) down the right flank.

The pair again wreaked havoc down the wing against Villa, with Traore crashing a shot against the bar in the second half and Doherty repeatedly getting into promising positions in the opposition area on the ‘underlap’ – much as he did in 2018/19.

Santo said of Traore’s performance:

He’s playing very well. He’s sticking to his tasks and helping the team. He’s unique, he gives you these moments that only he can produce.

One of the by-products of this move to a 3-4-3 has been the slightly more advanced role that Ruben Neves (£5.3m) is now occupying.

Previously the anchoring midfielder of a 3-5-2, Neves is now playing further forward alongside Joao Moutinho (£5.3m) and the two compatriots combined for Wolves’ opening goal – albeit from a free-kick, rather than from open play.

Santo said ahead of Sunday’s game:

This is a competition in which we have to adapt and find solutions and one of those was to start playing a different way. We need solutions in this situation and one of them is Ruben (more advanced) alongside Joao.

Some perspective has to be provided here, however: Neves and Moutinho still only had one penalty box touch between them this weekend.

Neves, like teammate Romain Saiss (£4.4m) is also now just one booking away from a one-match ban.

The international break now gives some Wolves’ assets a welcome breather following their brutal schedule of the past three months.

Traore will be one of the ones staying at home but – apparently – only because of injury.

The pacy winger is at the centre of a tussle between Mali and Spain on the international stage and received his maiden call-up by the latter this weekend, only to subsequently pull out.

Traore said yesterday:

Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the call of the national team because of an injury in the game we played this Sunday against Aston Villa.

I am sorry I cannot be in this call-up, but I will continue working to be in the best possible way for the next list, God willing.

I want to thank for the confidence that the coach has placed in me. I will have medical tests at my club, Wolverhampton, to know the extent of the injury.

It remains to be seen if Jimenez is also spared international duty after the Mexican striker limped from the pitch on Sunday, with an ice pack swiftly applied to his leg on the home bench.

Santo said after full-time:

We have to assess Raul now, the medical department will assess him.

Villa were also blighted by injury on Sunday, with Heaton (who has now pulled out of the England squad), Engels and Grealish failing to recover ahead of kick-off.

Jed Steer‘s (£4.4m) Premier League debut then lasted all of eight minutes before he was substituted with an Achilles injury, while Matt Targett (£4.4m) suffered a blow to the head and was also replaced after complaining of blurred vision.

Smith said after full-time:

Tom Heaton’s been struggling with a calf so I knew he was going to pull out of the game. Jack was always 50/50. Bjorn (hip) came to see me yesterday morning so I always knew we were struggling with that.

In the game, you get Jed Steer going down after three minutes on his first Premier League start with an Achilles injury.

What the international period will do will enable them to be fit for the Newcastle game. I’m not too sure about Jed Steer, I’ll wait for the prognosis on his Achilles injury.

Smith was critical of his players’ first-half performance especially and refused to blame injuries, saying:

It still doesn’t affect your desire to go and win a header, a tackle, a second ball and just help your teammates out and I didn’t think we did that first half.

That’s as bad a first 45 minutes I’ve had since Wigan away last year. Very poor, didn’t start.

It appeared the game was bigger for them than it was for us, we didn’t win any balls, duels, didn’t pass it well. The best thing I got out of the first half was it was only 1-0 at half-time.

Indeed, Ezri Konsa (£4.3m) performed well enough in Engels’ stead and Nyland didn’t do a lot wrong between the sticks.

Instead, there were off-days from some of Villa’s regulars, with the three central midfielders – including John McGinn (£5.8m) – ineffective and hot-and-cold wide players Trezeguet (£5.2m) and Anwar El Ghazi (£5.5m) very much towards the chilly end of the scale at Molineux.

It was Trezeguet who snatched Villa’s consolation in stoppage time from a corner-kick situation.

After their excellent display against Liverpool, we can probably forgive Villa’s assets for this one below-par performance – although Fantasy interest may be lukewarm until the fixtures really turn favourable in mid-December.

Wolves XI (3-4-3): Rui Patricio; Dendoncker, Coady, Saiss; Doherty, Neves (Bennett 85′) Moutinho, Jonny; Traore, Jimenez (Cutrone 90′), Jota (Pedro Neto 83′).

Aston Villa XI (4-3-3): Steer (Nyland 8′); Guilbert, Konsa, Mings, Targett (Taylor 45′); McGinn, Nakamba (Lansbury 69′), Douglas Luiz; El Ghazi, Wesley, Trezeguet.

    Quick one guys, would you do this move:

    Rico / KdB ➡️ Robertson / Maddison (free)

    Current team is:
    Pope
    TAA - Tomori - Söyüncü - Lund - Rico
    Sterling - Mane - KdB - Mount - Cantwell
    Vardy - Abraham - Jiminez

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Tempting

      1. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        It is tempting! Fixtures and form is tempting me but losing TV worries me with KdB....??

    2. Bring back Rafa
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I think Robbo (along with TAA) is becoming a must have. But I'd only do this if there is absolutely no way of getting him into your team. I do think KDB & Rico are both.good value for money.

      Also, I think Cantwell is deadwood now that Hernandez is back

      1. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Agreed and got both KdB and Rico dirt cheap. Best option I can find to bring Robbo in for triple pool with fixtures...??

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Wouldn’t say it’s a must have with the amount of clean sheets they’ve got

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      You would have almost the exact same team as me. Its yes from me. 😉

      1. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Nice one! Who’s different out of interest??

        1. Forever In Our Shadow
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Cantwell tomori are Dendo and Tomori is Kelly. Just noticed you keeping Sterling. I kept Kdb.

    4. clodhopper
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Lpool not keeping clean sheets

  2. the dom 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Stirling > Mane to double up on Reds upcoming fixtures?

    Yes or No

    Cheers

    1. pitstop1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Not this week for me. City likely to score more goals than Pool away to Palace.

    2. PikeyMikey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Sterling isn’t in the England squad so many a decent rest and something to prove v Chelsea when the prem is back..

      1. the dom 1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks for the heads up. Did Gomez pick him up again lol.

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Red Defenders are better value than red mids. Have one and 2 at the back.

    4. RyanMK
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Thinking about doing this, but if I do I will only pull the trigger after the next GW.

      Palace are quite solid defensively at home.

      And Man City will be looking to get a good result after last weekend.

  3. Pacer.
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Pope
    TAA, Robbo, Pereira, Chilwell (Lundy)
    Mane, Martial, Mount (Cant, Guend)
    Auba, Tammy, Vardy

    Nothing to be done there with 1FT and zero itb, is there?

    1. pitstop1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Save - looks a good team for this week. The Lundy bench haul will kill you though 😉

      1. Pacer.
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Haven't missed a single haul of his yet and had him since day one . Why will it kill me. I just select the player I think is least likely to return points and bench them

  4. Andy Mac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Which do you prefer guys:

    A) Maddison / Mount
    Or
    B) Tielemans / Pulisic

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

      A

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      B

    3. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A

    4. clodhopper
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      B

  5. Maddamotha
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Would you do Sterling > Mane, or spread the funds and get Maddison and Martial/Son for Dendo. Own KDB and Salah.

    1. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Neither this week

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

        Was considering from next week.

    2. crystalstream
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Exact dilemma. Went with Mane. Keep an eye on his price if nothing itb

  6. Wılly
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    A) *POPE*
    TAA *SOYUNCU* Lundstram
    SALAH Mane Maddison Martial

    B) *SCHMEICHEL*
    TAA *ROBERTSON* Lundstram
    Mane *SON* Maddison Martial

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A

  7. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    6 att returns in 6 starts , that is bad.

  8. Doolittle
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Any ideas what to do here? Inclined to keep Sterling for 1 more week before potentially switching to Salah.

    2 FTs, 1.8 ITB

    Pope/Heaton
    VVD/Soy/Lundstram/Rico/Willems
    Sterling/Mane/KDB/Mount/Cantwell
    Vardy/Abraham/Greenwood

    Ideally I'd like to upgrade Cantwell or Greenwood and maybe bring in Maddison or Jimenez somehow over the next couple of GWs, but I can't really see a way to do that while still maximising on Liverpool assets.

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Sterling and Greenwood for Maddison and jimi

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Willems to robbo.

        1. Doolittle
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Those 3 moves actually look appealing. The fear is ditching Sterling before a home game against a gung ho team.

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            That’s what we assumed with Brighton, Norwich, Wolves Southampton etc, and he still did nothing.

            1. Forever In Our Shadow
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Exactly. Until Citee sort their defensive issues, they cant attack like normal. Always got one eye on the break. The wrong way.

              3 big in form players for 1 big out of form player and with respect 2 sh1t players. No brainer.

  9. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    People actually buying Chambers? I have him and playing him, but I want rid gwk14.

  10. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Feel a bit daft asking this, but Martial isn't on IB duty is he?
    Purely just wondered, not planning to bring him into my team or anything as yet.
    Cheers.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      No he is not on international duty.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Sorted, thought just popped into my head so thought i'd ask. Cheers.

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Why you not planning on getting him?

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Oh, i'm not sure really, to be honest i kind of do want him in my side, it's just...United, i don't know if i feel confident enough. Will United still do just as well against these teams to come? Or did Brighton just bring it all on themselves?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Thought he was getting injured on internationals again?

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Ahh defo would seem a no then 🙂

    Signing off. Be careful what advice you take and who you listen to.

  12. LIARS POKER
    • 7 Years

    Best CHO replacement 5.8 or less?

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Mr fodder imo. None worth starting over defenders.

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

      JWP

    3. Party time
        4 years, 4 months ago

        McGinn

        1. Camino Aleatorio
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          McGinn or just go straight to 4.4 Dendoncker or something

          There is no in-between.

          Unless you want penalty man - Jorginho

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

      Heaton* Pope
      Soyuncu Matip* Baldock
      Salah Maddison Mount KdB
      Wilson* Vardy Rashford
      Lascelles* Stephens Tomori

      Wanting to punt on one of Bobby or Laca.
      Should I be taking a hit for Wilson?

      1. Party time
          4 years, 4 months ago

          No point making that move if for a hit. I would rather keep for this gw atlleast

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

            Won't be able to afford, after Wilson drops.

            1. Party time
                4 years, 4 months ago

                Then Tammy/Jimmy imo

        • Andy Mac
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Rico - KdB - Mount ➡️ Robertson - Tielemans - Pulisic (-4)
          Or...
          Rico - KdB ➡️ Robertson - Maddison (free)

          1. Party time
              4 years, 4 months ago

              B

            • Salah’s Sonnet
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              I favour Tielemans but that's just personal preference, Maddi also a great choice. From the two i'd prefer A in that case, but no need to ush for Pulisic with City next, saying that....they don't cover themselves in glory in defence do they.

              Hmm, i've not been really helpful here have i haha!

            Sterling to Mane?

            Yes or No?

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              In my opinion, absolutely yes.

              1. YEAH PITCH!
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 4 months ago

                Even if no other City?

                1. Salah’s Sonnet
                  • 12 Years
                  4 years, 4 months ago

                  Yep, still would, i only have KDB and considering even letting him go as well, too many players emerging that make City assets no longer a fear of not owning.

                  • 12 Years
                  4 years, 4 months ago

                  I think so. I have Mané but will probably do KDB to Salah too.

            Pull the trigger on Sterling + Mount-> Mane + Pulisic (exact cash atm).
            or
            after the latest news hold on to Sterling and change Salah to Mane instead?

            Pope.
            Robbo, A Smith, Lundstram, Janmaat.
            Mount, Sterling, KDB, Salah.
            Abraham, Vardy.
            Button, Cantwell, Soyuncu, Wickham.
            2ft. 0.8m ITB. WC in hand still.

            2. Phil's Stamps
              • 13 Years

              I would hold Sterling until after the Chelsea game.

                      Around 2:15am GMT i think.

                      If you have to make a trade i would not leave it later than 2am if i was you.

                        They happen slightly earlier now GMT time when the time difference changed for daylight saving and the clocks went back an hour.

                          Yeah you are right Zico.

                          I just checked what time Rainy posted the changes at yesterday and it was 1:30am

                          Sorry if i mislead you FSW.

                          Why does this actually change the time?

                            Oh, just so it allows for more daylight as the nights grow darker, so in UK time the price changes would occur an hour earlier.

                    Anyone still with Aguero? I'm thinking of captaining next GW. Or swap for Vardy (would do it after this week anyway)?

                      Glad i got mane a few hours ago, is lundstram still worth it at current price or is everyone buying because all their rivals have him?

                        If anything, buy him to stem the tide of their points. Realistically you can play him happily for the next 7 weeks, I certainly will be.

                      Lundstram 4
                      Vardy 9,5
                      A little late to the Vardy party I drop to 3rd in my mini league 🙁

                    Vardy, Mane, Lund and Rash rising (100.8-100.3) now on fpl statistics.

                    4 years, 4 months ago

                    Anyone reckon Salah would be better than Mane over the next few fixtures? Since prices almost similar now

                    1. bigbudgie
                      • 9 Years
                      4 years, 4 months ago

                      Word of Salah injury still being problematic, so I would monitor for now

                      1. Monkey Pits
                        • 12 Years
                        4 years, 4 months ago

                        I think it’s one of those international break injuries since Mo played midweek and again against man city so here’s hoping the ankle is fine

                    2. YEAH PITCH!
                      • 5 Years
                      4 years, 4 months ago

                      Every chance. I'm just not sure I trust Salah's ankle. Always reminded of how angry Mane was that gameweek where Salah didn't pass. I really think Mane is hungry for the golden boot to himself.

                      4 years, 4 months ago

                      I've stuck with Momo and will continue to do so for the short term at least, I think he's getting back to his best... I thought about the switch awhile ago, but opted against it because there wasn't much difference in price, now it's even less.... and Momo is on pens if Milner isn't on the pitch....

                      1. Monkey Pits
                        • 12 Years
                        4 years, 4 months ago

                        Mo’s goals (without penalties) seem pretty dire in the PL this season. Hoping the fortunes would change soon for him thus the considerTion

                    4. Nomar
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 14 Years
                      4 years, 4 months ago

                      Mane just looks more likely to score than Mo.

                    • 9 Years
                    4 years, 4 months ago

                    Salah + Willems
                    Or
                    Martial + TAA

                    • 8 Years

                    Martial & TAA imo

                    4 years, 4 months ago

                    GW1/2 started reasonably well - around 350K - no signs of disaster imminent

                    GW3-8 - 6 red arrows in a row dropping to 2.8 million OR - not having any of the big performers and not moving quick enough on them which also killed my team value. No Pukki, Cantwell, Abraham, Mount, Lundy, Mane. Coupled with captain failures every week.

                    GW9 - Played Wildcard

                    GW 9-12 - 4 green arrows, from 2.8million to 590K OR, 2 good captain scores (but also Wilson and Sterling blanks)

                    What's your season looking like?

                      Been around 200k all season.

                      4 years, 4 months ago

                      Been floating above the 300k OR mostly but this GW and for the rest of Leicester’s “easy” run Vardy’s EO is gonna hurt me

                    • 11 Years
                    4 years, 4 months ago

                    Only £0.2m of a price difference now between Mane and Salah.

                    They should reach price parity soon at this rate.By the time the dgw's come around managers that got Mane early might be able to do a straight swap for Salah without using any of their money itb.

                    Nice strategic move by Sterling. Maybe I will keep him now.

                      Strategic move by Sterling? How so? I assume you're talking about him not playing against Montenegro on Thu? He hasn't pulled out tho, from what i've read he's not being considered for selection after being involved in an incident with Gomez...

                      I am worried now.

                      Because I've already done Sterling to mane
