Fantasy focus switches to Jiménez as Brighton host Wolves

The Fantasy Premier League focus switches to Raúl Jiménez (£7.6m) in Sunday’s final match.

The Wolves forward was the most-sold player for Gameweek 16, losing 220,000+ owners ahead of today’s trip to Brighton.

That was despite recording seven attacking returns in his last eight Premier League outings.

Naturally, he starts once again for Nuno Espirito Santo’s men, flanked in the 3-4-3 system by Diogo Jota (£6.1m) and Adama Traoré (£5.2m).

Meanwhile, Aaron Connolly (£4.7m) is absent for Brighton today, having picked up a knock midweek.

“He just had a knock, a bit like a dead leg. He’s had a few games as well this game just came around too quickly for him.” – Graham Potter

Leandro Trossard (£5.8m) comes into the side, while Aaron Mooy (£4.8m) and Pascal Groß (£6.4m) are also in the starting line-up.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Burn, Webster, Dunk, Alzate; Pröpper, D Stephens; Trossard, Mooy, Groß; Maupay.

Wolves XI: Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Dendoncker; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Doherty; D Jota, Jiménez, Traoré.

      1. Gaddafi

        Who else?

  3. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Unpopular opinion.

    Mane is not essential for Christmas. Bring on the pitchfolks

    Liverpool face 5 of the best 6 defences from gw19-23 (lei WOL SHU tot MU)

    Add to that gw18 blank and a trip to Qatar im tempted to sell to Son to double up on spurs mid.

    Fewest goals in premier so far in order

    Leicester: 10 goals
    Liverpool: 14 goals
    Sheffield: 16 goals
    Wolves: 17 goals
    Palace: 18 goals
    Man united: 19 goals
    Spurs: 23 goals

    Thoughts are welcome

    1. Gaddafi
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      That is the popular opinion.

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Nobody is essential.

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Vardy loves this

    3. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Pool play well against good teams on the counter and Mane is excellent at that

      So can see him doing well against LEI, WOL, TOT at a minimum

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

        Ofcourse liverpool will win most of those matches but i think majority will be tight affairs.

        1. ‘Tis the Season
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Everyone enjoys a tight affair..

        Cheers Geoff. You must have Graduated from Harvard?

    5. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I said earlier that I'm considering going without both Liv and City attack from GW18 for a few, obviously risky.

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

      Mane going nowhere. Season keeper. If Vardy has tough game, mane captain.

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

        Id rather prefer Son/Alli captain for vardy tough games

    7. TorresMagic™

      All those defences are leaking.

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

        xG fan boy?

        Goals conceded stat says otherwise

          • 14 Years

          Look who has scored against them lately.

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

        This. Losing Mane is just silly

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

          Nahh dont be stubborn. He's sellable

          Gw18 blank
          Gw19- leicester away
          Gw20-21 will get rested one match
          Gw22- spurs
          Gw23- Man united home

    8. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Mane is for life not just for Christmas

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

      Liverpool will still keep on scoring and Mane is good at counter attacks and headed goals. TAA is able to find him. So he is not first on my chopping list. Robbo and Pulisic are question marks though.

      Current attack:

      Mane, Son, Alli, Pulisic
      Vardy, Tammy, Ings

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

        Prefer KDB over Mane as he got better fixtures

        Mane / blank lei WOL SHU tot MU (+ additional trip to Qatar)

        KDB / LEI wol SHU EVE avl CPL

    10. Sterling Malory
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Sheffield... SMH.

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

      This worth a hot topic imo.

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

        Unlikely too many sensitive people with sheep mentality and cant think out of the box

    12. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Salah however....

  4. Pumpkinhead
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Rash or Tammy?

    Vardy, Ings, ____

    Tammy would allow me to touch up my defense, Rash would leave me 0itb.

    1. Gaddafi
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Get Connolly.

      1. Jullepuu
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Just go away. It's not funny. Never has been and never will be

        1. Gaddafi
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          I'm being serious, I've had Connolly since £4.5m. I know he asked Rash or Tammy but honestly neither. Either get an expensive striker or a cheap one, IMO. You either have 5 good mids or 3 good STs.

      2. Pumpkinhead
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I can see the circus is in town.

      3. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Rather save 0.4 and get Greenwood

        1. Gaddafi
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          At least Connolly starts and gets assists/goals sometimes. He's got prospects.

    2. Super Nashwan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Rashford

    3. Doctor Evil
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Tammy, yeah Rash is in form no doubt but it won’t last. Tammy has been consistent and United will go rubbish again soon, usually when they start playing the smaller teams

  5. Gaddafi
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Just sold Lundstram, TAA and Soyuncu in my WC team. Had value on all 3.

    1. Super Nashwan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Who did you bring in?

      1. Gaddafi
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I'm going for a cheap defense now. Rico/Kelly/Clark.

        Using the funds to get a powerful midfield/attack force.

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

          Wow

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

      Doesn't surprise me, wise one

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

      Should idiots be banned?

      1. Gaddafi
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Pool have bad fixtures. Now is the time to sell them. Lundstram didn't impress today, they do have a block of greens coming up and I'll be buying another SHU player once that arrives but for the time being I don't need him. I don't think he's going to be the big goal scorer anyway, I'm going to look at alternative SHU options.

    4. ‘Tis the Season
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      This is the same chap that reckons Arsenal can still win the league...that’s enough for me

      1. Gaddafi
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I never said that.

        I said "If we knew for sure that Liverpool couldn't win and I was told another team would win, then Arsenal would still have a chance."

      2. ‘Tis the Season

        Thought I’d share this beaut comment...

        1. Gaddafi
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Yes that's literally what I just said. If Liverpool don't end up winning then Arsenal have a chance. They're not that far behind the rest.

    Goodbye gift from Jim please

    1. Super Nashwan
      • 6 Years

      It feels wrong to sell him. Who you bringing in?

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

        Rashford although not until gameweek deadline

  7. Jullepuu
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Is there any point in keeping double pool defence anymore?

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

      No

    2. Gaddafi
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I sold my pool defenders. Not going to be worth it anymore.

    3. Rainer

      WAT.

    4. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Sell for blank GW18

    5. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Watford can't attack so yes.

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

      Yeah I'm holding for WAT definitely. Dropping TAA or Robbo would allow me to do Jimenez -> Rashford for game week 18. Cheers for the replies!

            Sorry didn't think it was a touchy subject, but he's not an expert. I respect him for his journalistic abilities & dedication but lets not be delusional; his track record is poor.

            And yes, I have finished in the top 100k most seasons.

            1. Pumpkinhead

            Nobody is denying that. I don't make a living off FPL, and David does. He literally clothes himself and puts food on the table from this website. This is his full time job. My full time job is something else. I don't know what you're getting at though; He doesn't make money from FPL by being an expert, he makes it by being a journalist. It's what he does and he's good at it, but it doesn't reflect in his FPL team.

    2. sirmorbach

      At his price, essential from the get go imo. That being said, I do believe one cannot afford to go along without him at this point.

    3. Gaddafi

      4. Jullepuu
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Are we counting goalkeepers and players on the bench?

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          You've my attention 😮

          1. Jullepuu
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Boruc, Caballero and Gomes are the oldest that have been on the bench. I could be wrong though

      5. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Roy Carroll on Chelsea's bench I think

      6. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

    Please choose 2 for best Spurs asset:
    A. Kane

    C. Alli
    D. Aurier

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1. Cak Juris
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        2. Sandy Ravage

    boring 2nd half

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Mostly the case after a high scoring first half

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

        Indeed

    Wolves look to have lost all threat. Mostly Brighton controlling the game now.
