Saïss delivers on Project Restart promise as Jiménez returns to his FPL best

Sheff Utd 0-2 Wolves

  • Goals: Raúl Jiménez (£8.5m), Romain Saïss (£5.0m)
  • Assists: Daniel Podence (£5.5m), Pedro Neto (£5.5m)
  • Bonus Points: Saïss x3, Jiménez x2, Conor Coady x2 (£5.0m)

Raúl Jiménez (£8.5m) was back to his best at the first time of asking as Wolves beat Sheffield 2-0 on Monday night.

After a decent start to Project Restart, the Mexican’s 2019/20 campaign largely petered out, but that familiar spring in his step returned for the start of 2020/21.

If nothing else, it was a standard outing for Jiménez as he spearheaded Wolves’ attack on the counter, scored what turned out to be the winning goal and took a share of bonus points as a result. That rewarded his 19% ownership with a solid eight-point haul.

In a Gameweek where Harry Kane (£10.5m), Danny Ings (£8.5m) and Richarlison (£8.0m) all blanked, Jiménez took virtually no time to show he means business this season.

During the first half especially, Wolves were offered plenty of space on the counter-attack. It was in the third minute that Daniel Podence (£5.5m), deployed on the left-hand side of the front-three, left John Lundstram (£5.5m) behind to occupy the vacuum left by George Baldock (£5.5m) at right wing-back. His fine left-footed cross dropped beautifully to an unmarked Jiménez, who rifled high into the top corner of Aaron Ramsdale‘s (£5.0m) net.

Two minutes later, Jiménez was in again. This time Leander Dendoncker (£5.0m) had made it to the byline, chopping the ball back towards the forward. Backing away from Baldock, Jiménez chested it down, firing a fierce effort towards goal, stopped only by a sprawling Ramsdale save.

He went even closer to adding to his tally in the 83rd minute as João Moutinho (£5.5m) sent in an excellent corner, which Jiménez directed onto the front post.

Sheffield United were, admittedly, uncharacteristically brittle at the back in the early exchanges, which we will come back to later, but Jiménez passed the eye test with flying colours on Monday night. Considering he has previously shown a ruthless streak against the so-called top-six, a Gameweek 2 meeting with Manchester City, who typically play a high defensive line, may not be as tough for his owners as first feared.

Fantasy managers in search of value in the £5.5m midfielder brackets would have liked what they saw of Podence and Pedro Neto (£5.5m) in Gameweek 1. The two mid-priced options were both deployed either side of Jiménez, keeping Diogo Jota (£6.5m) out of the side and on the bench all evening.

Each player looked lively, especially when they were given the chance to trouble Sheffield United on the counter-attack. And in a Gameweek where Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.5m), Lundstram and Bukayo Saka (£5.5m) all blanked, Podence and Neto each registered a score of six points.

The former got his assist for Jiménez’s opening goal, while Neto managed to wrestle away one corner from Moutinho, which Romain Saïss (£5.0m) turned into the net after five minutes.

However, Fantasy managers should probably approach the Wolves front-line with caution in the coming weeks, as there is plenty of competition for places. While Jota was rooted to the bench on Monday, we know he is good enough to come into the team either as a wide-forward in a 3-4-3 or centre-forward in a 3-5-2. Meanwhile, Adama Traoré (£6.5m) may be used further forward at some point, although, for now, it appears as if he is filling the void at right wing-back by Matt Doherty (£6.0m).

The Wolves defence continues to reward Fantasy managers who invested in the right options. Their clean sheet at Bramall Lane was the 10th since Gameweek 25 of last season. Since then, no other Premier League team has recorded as many shut-outs, Manchester City and Manchester United (both nine), the joint-second-best in that department.

As we have come to expect from Nuno Espirito Santo’s men, they managed Monday night’s game exceptionally well, for the most part, limiting Sheffield United to half-chances.

They were particularly dominant in the opening 25 minutes, where the Blades registered just one touch in the box and no efforts on goal. By the end of the 90 minutes, Chris Wilder’s men had mustered just one shot on target. While such impressive control of the game does not exactly bode well for Wolves defenders as they prepare to face Manchester City, Sheffield United’s troubles in front of goal could be promising for Aston Villa.

In terms of how best to invest in Wolves defenders (probably from Gameweek 3 onwards), Saïss once again emerged as a key option. The Moroccan international offered great value at the back end of last season and, despite a price hike to £5.0m, he was back to his best at Bramall Lane.

Saïss was the man who rose highest to score Neto’s fifth-minute corner and he was unfortunate not to come away from Yorkshire with three goals to his name. He was afforded another free header in the 52nd minute, which he nodded just wide and later in the second half, he was caught advancing almost in a centre-forward’s position. Jiménez led a counter-attack through the middle, sliding Saïss in on the left. His fierce effort was tipped onto the post by Ramsdale, before Jiménez screwed the rebound just wide.

As it turned out, Saïss also claimed maximum bonus points, continuing his BPS appeal from Project Restart, ending up with a 15-point haul. More threatening than Willy Boly (£5.5m) and Conor Coady (£5.0m), the Moroccan currently seems like the best Wolves defender to consider, especially in light of Ruben Vinagre‘s (£4.5m) evening.

Owned by over 10% of managers, the young left-back was not given the chance to hold down the position while new signing Marçal (£5.0m) bedded in. Nuno offered a route straight into the team for the debutant, who lasted the whole game. That said, he did not venture forward too often and was certainly less dangerous in the area than the similarly-priced Saïss.

As Vinagre’s Fantasy owners consider how to upgrade him to the Moroccan in a few weeks, the silver lining was the fact that he remained on the Wolves bench. Accordingly, auto-subs were triggered, although Tyrick Mitchell (£4.0m) was the only of the top-three most-benched defenders for Gameweek 1 who played; Barry Douglas (£4.0m) and Bernardo (£4.0m) the other two.

Meanwhile, Sheffield United defenders were far from useful in their first Gameweek of the new campaign. As already mentioned, they gave up a whole host of chances, especially on the counter. It was a far cry from the Blades we have come to know under Wilder in the Premier League and this was the first time this calendar year that they conceded more than once at home in a match.

It went from bad to worse for the most fashionable Sheffield United asset too as John Egan (£5.0m), owned by more than 16% of Fantasy managers was booked in the first half.

Sheffield United XI (3-5-2): Ramsdale; O’Connell, Egan, Basham (McGoldrick 71′); Stevens, Fleck, Norwood (Berge 76′), Lundstram, Baldock; McBurnie, Sharp.

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI (3-4-3): Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Boly; Marçal, Dendoncker, Moutinho (Vitinha 86′), Traoré; Podence (Neves 76′), Jiménez, Neto (Buur 69′).

      Sounds great

    2. JURGENAUT
      • 3 Years

      Soucek is a nice 5.0, I would've kept. Rod & Martial will outscore them though, so good.

    3. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Would have been tempted to keep Soucek. Fixtures not great, but there are slim pickings in the 4.5-5.0m Mids

    From a scale of 1-10 10 being stupidest
    what would rate triple captaining Auba.

    1. ace3.1415
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      7

    2. Weak Become Heros

      just dont do it mate.

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure on that being the best option for TC

    4. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If you are trying to make up for the fact that Salah cappers got 40pts, don't do it. Double gameweeks are still the way to go (especially since City and Utd will defo have one)

    5. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Use stats and your gut feeling to make these decisions - no point posting this question to the DZ imho

    6. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      solid 8.5

    7. stat sifter 888888
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Never a great time to play it. Triple-captaining a LW is always a bold call though.

    8. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      2, save for a dgw ,youll get 6 x your score then...

  4. ace3.1415
    • 3 Years

    Best everton asset?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      a few offer good value, too early to say just yet but im looking at DCL and JRod.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Digne

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Digne

    4. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Toffee lady has apparently

    5. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      James
      Richarlison
      DCL
      Digne

      In that order I would say

    6. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Digne

    7. stat sifter 888888
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      DCL if you can fit him in.

    8. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      might actually be pickford,carlo has built a wall for him...

  5. BurnMyBread
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    What are the chances of Barnes starting in the next few games?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Should start but needs to starts converting some of his chances. Same problem last season.

      1. stat sifter 888888
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Sanchez I agree. Watched his highlights from his breakout season with West Brom though and he was scoring some great goals. Suggests to me that it is a confidence issue that will be overcome sooner rather than later. 6 goals last year ain't bad either.

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Decent to good

    3. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why not?

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Barnes got yanked around a bit last season in terms of starts

      2. BurnMyBread
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Some FPL websites have his average predicted minutes quite low, like at 50. There has also been some talk about how he doesn't start if Leicester play with three at the back.

    4. stat sifter 888888
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Very good for me, considering wild-carding to get him in for ASM.

    5. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      excellent ,tbh could have had a hattie last week and would be in every team

  6. FPL Panda
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Did Digne take any of the Everton corners at the weekend of was Hamez on all of them ?

    Cheers

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Digne took them from the left side

  7. ace3.1415
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Richarlison a good shout? Or not?

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Great

    2. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think so

    3. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      yep

    4. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He's inconsistent and has earned troll status here.

    5. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on how many pts you think the extra million will save by getting DCL will get you by upgrading elsewhere?

    6. stat sifter 888888
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not now that he's classed as a forward and DCL is a mill cheaper.

  8. Pilgrim62
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Kane or Ings
    to
    Martial
    ?

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Kane and keep the change?

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Kane, use the money elsewhere

  9. djoker_nole
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    This WC Team Any good?

    Leno
    Coleman Toby VVD Douglas Walker-Peters
    Auba KDB Alli Soucek Stephens
    Wilson Vardy Richarlison.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No Coleman, no Toby, no Alli, No Soucek, no Rich

      1. djoker_nole
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Who would you have instead?

        1. Yank Revolution
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I cant do your work for you.

    2. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not a fan, no

      1. djoker_nole
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        A bit too defense heavy?

        1. Stormbringer22
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I would literally have only 2 of those players on a WC atm - KDB and Wilson

    3. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Such an awkward week to WC.

      1. djoker_nole
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        awkward indeed

    4. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It's awful

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

      You WANT Alli?

      Not a fan of this team.

    6. stat sifter 888888
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If you're wildcarding Alli into your team then you've lost your mind.

    7. Mighty Banana
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      This team is why WC in GW2 makes little sense. It looks so similar to teams that started GW1 with a plan not to WC.

      If it we're me on a wildcard already, I'd aim for city/utd/burnley

  10. teneighty
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I really want Jimenez for GW3 but I also want Martial and Werner...man this is hard.

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      WC

      1. teneighty
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I also don't want to WC! 😉

        Seriously, I can't fit those 3 in the same team and also have the midfield i want so it's an usolvable equation. I just gotta find where to compromise.

        1. Jordan.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          solution is probably have jiminez,martial and swap werner for one of chelsea m/f ,but certainly a tough problem..

  11. flippetyflop
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    A, B, or C please guys.

    I'm a little worried that a lot of my players are playing against each other this weekend.

    Mcarthy/Fabri
    TAA/Doherty/Saiss/Mitchell/Ayling
    Salah/Son/Auba/Soucek/Bissouma
    Werner/Antonio/Adams

    A - Antonio to Wilson
    B - Adams to ??
    C - Save

    1. djoker_nole
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Save

    2. stat sifter 888888
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A.

  12. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Ings to Martial vs Ings Son to DCL Bruno is killing me. Can make plenty arguments against and for both options...

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

      replied on ur previous post

  13. Pedersen
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Salah Vs Fernandes ? Long term

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Has to be Mo yo

    2. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      God knows. On Bruno atm but Salah is a beast

    3. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Mohammed.

  14. The Head-Ake
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Right so just got on here, not the best week! Any suggestions or do I just roll the transfer? Thanks 🙂

    McCarthy
    Davies | Justin | TAA | Mitchell
    Son | Salah | Havertz | Auba
    Werner | Mitrovic

    Martin | Bissouma | Walker-Peters | Davis

    1. stat sifter 888888
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I would reconsider either Havertz, Mitrovic or Son in that order.

  15. zizoo10
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    when i heard JRod, i think not nailed, injury prone, 60th minute subs. am i completely wrong now that hes at everton? is he a starter every game? what about siggy could they get rotated?

  16. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    UTD and City both have 50/50 fixtures. Hodgson will go ultra defence with the aim of knicking a goal and Nuno will be like a Jack Russell 'lion in the mirror'.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No data as yet to transfer in City and UTD. Tough fixtures...

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      What do you mean by 50/50? As good as each other, or matches they are as likely to lose as win?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Means they will either win lose or draw.

  17. Bartowski
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Alli & Kane to De Bruyne & DCL?

    1. The Head-Ake
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'd go for it

  18. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thinking about going with this team structure:

    Salah - Kdb - Bruno
    Werner - Jimi

    The other 2 attacking players will probably change more often but those 5 would be the pillars of my team.

    The downside is that my defense would need to be really lightweight. Maybe downgrade Bruno to Rashford?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      im looking at similar set up on WC GW3

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      although going Martial I think over Werner

    3. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Solid. No matter how hard I tried to make this work, it just wouldn't give a good team balance

    4. zizoo10
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      i've been playing with this, but martial over bruno. however i might just go with Jrod (8.0 mid bracket) over Jimi since it means having mitro over a 5.5 mid (all crap)

    5. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Is is doable with 3 x 5.0s as your defenders or maybe punting on Brewster up top for more cash

    6. stat sifter 888888
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      There's the best value in defence though.

  19. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Havertz + Antonio -> 7.0 mid + Martial

    Worth the -4? If so who's the best 7.0 mid or under?

  20. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on Podence at 5.5?

      Too much of a rotation risk with Jota

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Not a risk if they play a front 3. Neto will likely see the bench

    2. Ask Yourself

      I want to see one more game of him but finished last season well, played ok yesterday. Didn’t post amazing numbers but seemed to impress everyone here

    3. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Solid shout, want him in

    4. Boomerang V
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think I would prefer Harisson for security of start He'll get a few goals and assists as well.

    Alli/Ings >

    A) Martial + Jrod -4
    B) Bruno + Wilson (have asm, and newcastle have horrid fixtures)

  22. JELLYFISH

    With Martial and Bruno both likely to rise this week (Bruno def tonight) which is the better pick for this GW?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Martial IMO

    2. BurnMyBread
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Who are you planning to transfer out for this?

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

        Ings > Martial
        or
        Son > Bruno

    Fook me, happy to still have my WC...

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      How's the triple SHU defence going

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I am willing to stick with it for GW2 instead of chasing points and complaining afterwards 🙂

      2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Bit harsh. He got a good 5 mins out of it...

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          More like 2

  24. Better Call Paul
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Right guys hope everyone had a good first GW!

    I actually got 94 points and pretty happy with myself

    My team is this

    Ramsdale (steer)

    TAA James Ayling Saïss (KWP)

    Salah Aub Son ASM (Bowen)

    Lacazette Adams (Davis)

    Going for a 442 this GW or maybe a 352 with Saïss on the bench

    Any glaring transfers of should I stick?

    Really want Fernandes but will have to take hit to get him is as want to keep salah and aub long term

    1. Better Call Paul
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      FYI I HAVE 0.5 in the bank and 1FT

    2. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      See below, similar. Thinking about a rashford punt for son

    3. stat sifter 888888
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      You started with Lacazette? If so, absolutely unheard of and I take my proverbial hat off to you.

  25. n-doggg
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I’ve already decided to sell son. Question is, which Utd asset to go for. I still have Salah and will probably use him to make way for kdb instead of Auba. So, 0.5itb

    A. Son to rashford
    B. Son and Adams to Bruno and Davis
    C. Son and Adams to martial and Foden
    D. Son and dcl to martial and James

    Lamptey looks a fun player to own if nothing else...

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Too much rotation = Pep

      1. stat sifter 888888
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Doesn't apply for a player with his upside and price.

  27. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    This game is not about your highest scoring GW.

    On average plus minus 66 points every GW will see you finish no 1 ain't it.

    You are not going to score that average every GW unless you have Salah as cap with a 20 point haul.

  28. stat sifter 888888

    3 years, 6 months ago

    Think I would regret not doing an early WC more than doing one tbh. Anyone else feeling the same?

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

      Depends on your team I guess. I would only change about 4 players therefore I'm happy to hold and just use transfers plus the odd hit if necessary.

      1. stat sifter 888888
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Surely the more transfers you get out the way with a WC the less likely that you will later go over your transfer limit and take a hit? Think I might wait until after this GW but I really don't like the idea of taking hits.

    2. Postman7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm in exactly the same boat.
      essentially 0.1 increase = 0.5 price hike in these early weeks before everyone starts moving, so the prospect of KDB going up before he even plays is really stressing me out. Same for Bruno, but I was planning to bring him in anyway for this GW, just need to do it before his price moves.

    3. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Just bear in mind that January is a long way off...

  29. CONNERS
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone thinking of going for Sterling over KDB?
