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.

    The comment section is hilarious GW1

    Step 1: if a player blanks he is essential so take a -4 to get them immediately
    Step 2: if a player blanks sell immediately regardless of how they play
    Step 3: if your 4.5m rotation risk punt is in fact benched bemoan how you are the unluckiest manager in the world and wish the season was over

    Think that covers it

              30 with Werner to come lol, went Mane over Salah as a one week punt when I decided I was capping Auba which couldn't have gone much worse, every single player blanked but at least I capped the one that didn't, gotta look on the bright side.

        That’s easy to say when he scored a 12 pointer.

        Everyone was loaded in spurs players and we all expected them to score.

    Adama such a threat late on. Annoyingly at RWB for the first 70 or so of games.

    Buur getting constant minutes at 4m mightn’t be too bad for the squad but it’s a costly Wolves spot that might be needed.

    Just a quick reminder that although the likes of Alonso and Mendy are great in attacking sense, they are not their respective managers’ preferred choices due to their defensive deficiencies. With this in mind, Saiss could still be dropped once Wolves sign a defender or two.
