What impact will Semedo have on Wolves FPL assets this season?

Nelson Semedo‘s (£5.5m) arrival in the Premier League is likely to have an impact on several different areas of Wolves’ squad this season.

The highly-regarded right-back joins the Molineux side from Barcelona in the wake of Matt Doherty‘s (£6.0m) departure to Spurs.

As a result, Fantasy Premier League managers are likely to have some questions about his role at Wolves. Will Semedo become a viable asset on his own? Can he improve the club’s attacking threat? Will his arrival impinge on the Fantasy credentials of any other options? We have taken a closer look.

The History and Statistics

The fact that Semedo arrives at Molineux as something of a coup-signing tells you much of what you need to know about his pedigree.

In three years at Barcelona, the 26-year-old has won four major trophies, including two La Liga titles, one Copa del Rey and another Supercopa de España.

“It isn’t often that we have the opportunity to sign a world-class player from a world-class club. Nelson’s signing shows we will never stop progressing and we are still hungry and humble in our heart.” – Jeff Shi

Semedo has hardly been a bit-part player either, making 82 league appearances for the Catalan giants since the start of 2017/18.

2019/20 was when the Portuguese international was most useful to Barcelona, appearing 42 times in all competitions and providing six assists.

As well as regularly turning out for Barcelona in La Liga, Semedo has plenty of Champions League experience too. Over the last three seasons, he made a minimum of seven appearances in that competition, playing ten times in 2018/19 when Barcelona made it to the semi-finals.

Semedo’s rise to Barcelona’s first-team occurred quickly. He spent the 2011/12 season in Portugal’s Terceira Divisão for Sintrense, joining Benfica in 2013/14.

After a couple of seasons in their B-side, he broke into the first team in 2015/16, making 12 Primeira Liga appearances, scoring once.

Then a full campaign as the first-choice right-back for Benfica in 2016/17 saw Semedo turn out 31 times in the league, adding a goal and six assists.

He also made eight Champions League appearances for the Portuguese side that year, finding the net once too – all enough to capture Barcelona’s attention.

Across his time with those two major European clubs, Semedo has displayed powerful pace, allowing him to cover plenty of ground either as a traditional full-back or a flying wing-back.

Combined with excellent dribbling skills, Semedo is known for his ability to move possession up the field with his driving runs, but is also capable of progressing it through the use of his passing.

During his time at Barcelona, Semedo has shown an eye for a killer pass, although these are usually of the shorter kind. In contrast to a Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m), Semedo is less likely to be firing in sweeping crosses than getting involved in more intricate pieces of passing play. 

Meanwhile, experience at the highest level in Spain and Europe has instilled positive mental attributes in the player too. 

He has now made 13 international appearances for Portugal, so has already had the chance to train and play competitively with a large handful of his new Wolves colleagues.

But what does all this mean for Semedo in comparison with the rest of his new defensive colleagues? We need to look at some comparisons to find out.

Vinagre129.2129.2N/A161.5

The Prospects

The first thing that the comparisons tell us is that Semedo will probably have to work very hard to provide the same level of attacking threat Doherty offered during his time at Wolves.

The Spurs wing-back was involved in 12 of Wolves’ league goals last season, while Semedo scored just once and put up two assists in one of the continent’s biggest and best teams.

That output appears to be consistent with the player’s underlying statistics too. In 2019/20, Doherty had the best figures for minutes per shot (81.1), minutes per shot in the box (86.1) and minutes per shot on target (189.3).

When it came to the frequency of shots, Romain Saïss (£5.1m), Ruben Vinagre (£4.4m), Jonny (£5.5m), Marçal (£5.0m) and Willy Boly (£5.5m) all performed better than Semedo last season.

While neither one of Marçal or Conor Coady (£5.0m) managed a single shot in the box in 2019/20, Vinagre, Saïss, Jonny and Boly all registered efforts there more frequently than Wolves’ new right-back – and each of them, other than Vinagre, more regularly saw their shots land on target.

Meanwhile, Semedo’s rate of creativity was not particularly strong compared to his new team-mates.

Marçal played a key pass every 69.3 minutes last season, while Vinagre and Jonny both did better than Semedo in this department. And for anyone wondering if the new signing can be the new Doherty, the latter also had a better figure for minutes per key pass (135.2) than his replacement (174.8).

Naturally, these figures are somewhat underwhelming, especially for someone who turned out for such a high-end club in a division that arguably has a lower overall quality of opponents.

However, there may be mitigating circumstances in terms of formations played and team-mates. The full-backs in Wolves’ 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 systems usually get to spend more time around the final third than those in a 4-2-3-1, the formation preferred at Barcelona.

And, paying no disrespect to Wolves, it was probably harder to be heavily involved in key areas when sharing the pitch with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez than it might be in a more advanced roles with less big-name players.

But those factors, in and of themselves, could play a part in Semedo’s integration into the Wolves team. The player should fit nicely into the all-action role quickly given his pace, but it could still be something of a waiting game for anyone interested in his Fantasy signature. After all, it is hard to know exactly how Nuno will use Semedo this season. For example, for all the intrigue surrounding Marçal’s arrival, he played an exceptionally deep role in the 2-0 win at Sheffield United.

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

Considering centre-back Saïss offered an encouraging amount of threat in the final third and penalty box last season, and at the start of this, for a cheaper price, Semedo will have to improve his underlying numbers and make a seriously explosive start to life at Wolves to pull Fantasy interest away from the Moroccan international.

Furthermore, Nuno’s next press conference carries serious Fantasy significance. If Marçal is ruled out for a particularly long-term period, then Vinagre becomes an exceptionally promising value option on the opposite flank to Semedo.

As you can see from the charts above, Vinagre outperformed his compatriot in each of the four key areas considered other than minutes per shot on target last season.

However, Semedo’s Fantasy impact is not limited to Wolves’ defensive assets. His arrival is expected to heat-up competition for places further up the pitch.

Adama Traoré (£6.5m) has been filling in for Doherty in the initial Premier League matches of the season, used in the right wing-back role of a 3-4-3 formation.

That has allowed Daniel Podence (£5.6m) and Pedro Neto (£5.5m) mostly unrivalled access to starting berths either side of Raúl Jiménez (£8.5m) in the front-three, while Vitinha (£5.0m) has, for the most part, contributed as an impact substitute.

The addition of Semedo to the Wolves squad should relieve Traoré of his wing-back duties very soon and shift him back into competition with Podence, Neto and Vitinha further up the field.

That might be of some slight concern to the 260,000+ managers who signed Podence ahead of the Gameweek 3 deadline. Wolves’ number 10 has probably done enough to start the trip to West Ham on merit, but Neto has been no slouch so far this season.

While Podence still looks like a good option in the short-term, some examination of how Traoré compares to him, Neto and Vitinha in Nuno’s mind may be needed to find out of the former Olympiacos man can retain his Fantasy appeal over a longer period.

        That's true, but he won't be dropped forever.

        Can’t find any better value for 5.5 and I need someone who will cover a Foden no show.

    4. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Will Semedo start right away?

    5. ManofKent

      Saiss is the safer option

      Saiss

    7. Ser Davos

      Saiss if at 5
      Semedo if Saiss .1

    No Taa for 2 weeks, but not half bad considering Sterling has LEI/leeds

      Captain sterling in those games?

      1. Christina.

        maybe yes. Waiting for Pulisic to be back to swap.

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        above - experiment without Taa until Pulisic is back, probably 2 weeks.
        Upside chasing with Sterling.

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years

          his ownership will never again be so low with these fixtures this season

    6. pundit of punts

      What’s the defense looking like?

      WC?

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        yes WC, see above

    7. Good Times
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Trying to be the devils advocate here, your defense will be ultra cheap. You can either captain sterling or kbd not both a game, so at that price feels alot.

      Better get Jesus and a budget mid and improve defense?

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Idea is to do one of Kdb/Sterling->Puli and 4.5m def ->Taa

      2. Good Times
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Its your team go for it! I've tried fitting as many heavy hitters as possible. Last season didn't go so well. So I'm looking at trying to balance the squad a bit more.

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I have promised myself to try and hit the big (c) hauls this season for the likes of Martial/Kun/Sterrling. Thats the reason I never get top 1k.
          Martial(c) last week did not work...onwards and upwards...

    £21mil to spend on an Attacker, and 2 defenders, thoughts please?

    A) Jimenez (8.5) Trent (7.5) Saiss (5.0)
    B) Werner/Jesus (9.5) Robbo (7.0) Ayling (4.5)
    C) something completely different

    looking forward to hearing your thoughts, thanks in advance

    1. i wanna ORD
      • 6 Years

      A or B for me

      A

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Can you find .5 from anywhere to upgrade Ayling to Saiss/James?

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

        Possibly, you like Jesus robbo sais I guess?

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

          I do, yes. That being said, I do think Jimenez has a lot of potential the next 6-8. Stick with the 5.0 gk and go with A

      2. Gazpilicueta
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I could go with a 4.5 keeper, I just prefer the 5.0s

  13. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Had my team all set, but the more I overthink it, the more I want Werner to captain him versus WBA. Anybody else considering the same?

    Curse you FPL Black Box.

      Werner who has not scored a goal in PL? big risk

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

        It's a risk, but I don't think it's a big one. He's looked dangerous, was magnificent last season and West Brom are haemorrhaging chances.

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

          Before Ivanovich joined the defence and with 10 men... I expect Chelsea to score but I think thoughts of a goalfest might be over optomistic

          1. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…

            • 14 Years

            All valid points tbf. Though I still expect they're one of the teams to focus captaining against this season.

          It was more the comments about the lad who nailed captaincies last season doing it. Tbf I think I'll stick without, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a brace.

      as a roma fan, i would rather they stick with pau and mirante, then go for someone whose confidence hit tock bottom atm.

  15. i wanna ORD
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    anyone bringing in Richarlison?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Almost 11% of teams

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

      Still in two minds between him and DCL.

    3. Dash444
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I prefer Richarlison but DCL gives me two better players elsewhere.

  16. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Foden starting tonight means a benching against Leicester?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Flip a coin mate

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

      Lemme ring Pep

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not really

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Mahrez is playing too.

      Let's see who comes off early...

    5. pablo discobar
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Have to think so

    6. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Depends if anyone can take his place at the weekend

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

        Fernandinho Rodrigo
        KDB
        Mahrez Jesus Sterling

        They could easily go with the above. Or Foden could play instead of Fernandinho/Rodrigo or Mahrez.

        So they do have players that can take his place, it's just a matter of who Pep will choose.

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

      Possibly. May go for Rory Delap if he looks good for them tonight

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

        The lad's his son, actually!

        1. mixology
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Lol no way! Have to scout the strength of his throw-ins. Could match KDB for assists

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

            I don't see him being the only player to start 3 games in a week sadly

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

    Will Semedo start this weekend?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Possibly if match fit

    2. Dash444
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I’d normally say no because managers like to give them a week of training etc.

  18. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Son starts tonight probably get reduced minutes at the weekend.

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yikes

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

      He is going to be knackered

      Would be fourth game in 2 weeks already

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

    Liverpool: Adrian, N Williams, R Williams, Van Dijk, Tsimikas, Grujic, Jones, Elliott, Shaqiri, Minamino, Origi.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      VVD :O benched at the weekend?

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

        He'll only break into a trot when he comes up to nut in a corner.

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yes he will be on the weekend

        Not sure on Monday though

      3. AuFeld
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Unlikely imo based on his game time track record over the last two seasons.

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      The arrogant Virgil only good enough for the second string!

  20. pablo discobar
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    VVD starts away at Lincoln. No Brewster in squad

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      VVD wont even break sweat

    2. Supersonic Marv'
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Brewster is on his way I think.

  21. Will J 256
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Which three do you prefer?
    Son
    Calvert-Lewin
    C Taylor

    Greenwood
    Richarlison
    Reece James

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B

  22. Enyei
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    On WC ,gtg?
    Matinez( Button)
    TTA/James/Taylor/Mitchell( Douglas)
    Salah/DeBryune/Hamez.R/Podence
    Werner/Jimmz/DCL.

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      7/10 missing spurs attack, otherwise gtg

  23. AiAiCaptain
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    WC.

    Ryan
    TAA - Michell - Saiss
    Salah - KdB - Podence - X - X
    DCL - Jimenez - X

    (1) Son + James (play 3-5-2)
    (2) Werner + Foden (play 3-4-3)

  24. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Foden starting, not necessarily a bad thing? See who comes off first, him or Mahrez..

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

      He's in my squad for the season, not one game - so I'm not bothered.

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

    Foden at CM, probably. Wouldn't be surprised to see a repeat at Leicester. Yes, I know Bournemouth aren't Leicester.

  26. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Lamptey klich Werner
    Or
    Castagne havertz/puli Bamford

    I’m on the second option currently- bamford could also be anything up to 6mil

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

    Tottenham: Hart, Alderweireld, Aurier, Davies, Sanchez, Winks, Bergwijn, Ndombele, Lamela, Son, Alli.

    Substitutes: Lloris, Doherty, Sissoko, Dier, Lo Celso, Kane, Lucas Moura.

    1. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Son 🙁

    2. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Son benched on the weekend?

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

        I expect they'll try to wrap the game up earlier than the last time. Trouble if it goes to extra tie and pens and Son's still on.

    3. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Alli to score 5 and confuse everyone.

  28. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Is Rodrigo going to win starting plce from Bamford? Can be gold at 5.9

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

      Absolutely, in a couple weeks

      You've been doing this a while now, right? How reliable have you found the odds to be overall?

      I always thought odds were set by the market, so they generally represent the average punter's view, and don't have any real insight.

      1. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Think this is the 3rd season doing them, @StatOnScout did an extensive overview of them last season but unfortunately that work has disappeared along with the account so I can't review them now to give you any insight.

        At some point in the future I'll try and look at them myself and see what's what and publish the findings here. Should be interesting...

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years

      There is a chance i ll field both Justin and Castagne this week (definitely one of them) hoping to get any attacking points they could give, this should be fun

    Almost 5 millionth so wildcard active... Any rethinking needed here, or all set?

    Martinez - Nyland
    VVD - Saiss - Mitchell - Justin - Taylor
    Salah - Son - KdB - Burke - Rodriguez
    Wood - DCL - Jimenez

    1. ManofKent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Not sure Burke will start regularly

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Looks as if he's using him as a 5th mid so should be fine for now?
