Vinagre and Jota benched as Lundstram reclaims Sheff Utd midfield berth

Fantasy Premier League managers have been denied a £4.5m route into Wolves defence for their opening match of the season.

Ruben Vinagre (£4.5m) has been named on the bench for the Gameweek 1 trip to Sheffield United, joined there by Oskar Buur (£4.0m).

Despite Nuno Espirito Santo declaring in his Friday press conference that new signing Fernando Marçal (£5.0m) needed time to adapt to Wolves’ style of playing, the manager has started him at left wing-back anyway.

With Matt Doherty (£6.0m) having left the club for Spurs, Adama Traoré (£6.5m) has been trusted with the wing-back position on the other side of the pitch, rather than 22-year-old Buur.

Also on the Wolves bench is recently reclassified FPL midfielder Diogo Jota (£6.5m), beaten to a place in the front-three by Daniel Podence (£5.5m) and Pedro Neto (£5.5m).

The two wide-men flank Raúl Jiménez (£8.5m) who comes into Gameweek 1 with 18.5% worldwide ownership.

John Egan (£5.0m) and John Lundstram (£5.5m) are the most fashionable Sheffield United assets for tonight’s game, sat in 16.6% and 12.7% of teams respectively.

Both feature in the Blades’ starting line-up, which also includes Jack O’Connell (£5.0m), who missed every pre-season game, while the summer’s top-scorer Billy Sharp (£6.0m) features alongside Oli McBurnie (£6.0m).

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI (3-4-3): Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Boly; Marçal, Dendoncker, Moutinho, Traoré; Podence, Jiménez, Neto.

Sheffield United XI (3-5-2): Ramsdale; O’Connell, Egan, Basham; Stevens, Fleck, Norwood, Lundstram, Baldock; McBurnie, Sharp.

    In the beautiful power of hindsight. I will say I should have picked Jimenez over Ings.

    My boy Jimmy

    Don’t own him - just love him

    1. Ser Davos
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Agreed

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      You have been raving about him for months and months and you don't have him!?

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I know I know

        Also went without Guaita. One day I’ll back myself

        Pretty confident in Ings and front line of Ings Jim Martial is on the cards when Party boy gets tired

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          You should definitely back yourself

          I remember all your stuff last season about how consistent Jimi is

  14. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I have a genuine question -

    Why did the world go for Ings including myself when we could have bought Jimenez at the same price... !!!!

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Only put off by no Doherty

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      One week punt. Sold for Martial now who is a better player and plays in a team that will score more goals.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He was in my draft that didn't have Salah. I'm happy with my decision to switch.

  25. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I have a genuine question -

    Why did I go for Coady when I could have bought Saiss at the same price... !!!!???

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 6 months ago

        You were slightly worried that Marcal could replace Saiss? Other than that saiss easily better than Coady

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          This. I have Coady too. Long term will be justified.

          1. Vazza
