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.

    So Nuno bought a LCB for the LWB position so he could unleash Saiss?

          ha, he has been good yea. Like Poch, good but ultimately achieves nothing.
          I think jose did ok at ManU considering how whack they were, and well Spurs is an ongoing project. Despite Spurs having a miserable season last, and changing managers, Spurs still finished better off then Wolves.

            Unfair to compare them though, If Nuno had the funds and players José had/has it would be interesting to see what he can do

            José hasn't achieved anything either, long time since he won anything noteworthy

            Not trying to pick an argument here, just have to add this:
            Spurs is not looking like an ongoing project, nothing has changed since Poch left other than management, and he's not doing a great job so far

            I think top 4 is way out of reach for Spurs, top 6 will be difficult enough

            The way I see it Spurs are battling for 6th with Everton and Wolves this season
