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.

          Should perform well, atleast under Potter Brighton are going to attack which will hopefully leave spaces at the back for him to run in behind and score a couple :-)... I'm pretty sure by the end of the game Werner will of had a couple of shots inside the box... And unlike Vardy they will be from open play

          I'm quite intrigued to see Ben White in action for Brighton as although not an option himself may make me think of Ryan as an option down the line

        Again, I didn't see any serious managers pick Pulisic. The press conference confirmed that he would have a cameo at best.

          All things pointed towards a cameo today, and a start vs Liverpool. If you wanted him long term it saved a transfer down the line. Exactly the same situation with people benching United/City assets.

            No, it's worse. At least United/City have better fixtures in GW2, but I doubt anyone was keen on picking Pulisic for Liverpool (of course he can score against them and did recently). If they picked him, they clearly picked him for GW1 when they could've waited until GW3. Saving a transfer isn't worth not capitalizing on another player for the first 2 weeks

          Pretty sure Andy at let's talk FPL did as well

          Majority of YouTubers have all said they would prefer to have Pulisic over Havertz in their teams but like everything some gambles dont pay off straight away
