Saïss at wing-back again as £4.0m defender gets another start in Wolves’ defence

1,780 Comments

Wolves’ most popular Fantasy Premier League defender Romain Saïss (£5.2m) has been handed another outing at left wing-back.

Following the departure of Ruben Vinagre (£4.3m) and an injury to Marçal (£4.9m), the Moroccan filled in there for the 1-0 win over Fulham in Gameweek 4.

Despite Marçal making the bench on Monday night, Saïss has held off the competition a little while longer to play a more advanced role than usual.

That also means a second successive start in the back-three for £4.0m defender Max Kilman (£4.0m).

He is joined there by key men Conor Coady (£5.0m) and Willy Boly (£5.5m), while Nelson Semedo (£5.5m) starts as the right-back again.

Meanwhile, it is unchanged front-three for Nuno Espirito Santo as Raúl Jiménez (£8.5m) sits in the middle of Pedro Neto (£5.5m) and Daniel Podence (£5.6m), which means a place on the bench for Adama Traoré (£6.4m).

Neto has offered the best value of any Wolves midfield player so far this season, although he is still owned by fewer managers than the benched Ruben Neves (£5.4m), Joao Moutinho (£5.4m), Podence and Traoré.

Marcelo Bielsa keeps faith with his favoured 4-1-4-1 formation, offering a second start of the season to Rodrigo (£5.8m) after his dramatic equaliser against Manchester City.

With veteran Pablo Hernández (£5.8m) on the bench, the Spaniard is deployed in midfield alongside Mateusz Klich (£5.6m) while Patrick Bamford (£5.8m) leads the line once again.

Coming into Gameweek 5, only Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.7m) and Harry Kane (£10.7m) have more owners than Bamford among forwards. And of those in his position priced at £6.0m or less, none have managed as many shots on target as the Leeds man.

Leeds United XI (4-1-4-1): Meslier; Dallas, Cooper, Koch, Ayling; K Phillips; Harrison, Rodrigo, Klich, Costa; Bamford.

Wolves XI (3-4-3): Patrício; Kilman, Coady, Boly; Saïss, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Semedo; Neto, Jiménez, Podence.

      Personally think it is poor tactics from Nuno. Why is he playing 3-4-3 vs Leeds away? 3-5-2. Use the extra man in midfield and Traore's pace up front to destroy Leeds' press.

      Too often he plays 3-5-2 when he should play 3-4-3 and vice versa.

        3-5-2 was more affective with Jota as he liked to play more central and create a link between the midfield and Jimenez (Also would rely on the wing backs to push up more to provide the width). To be honest I'm not sure what would be a better set up for them now, Wolves had a poor transfer window.

          The set up should depend on the opposition. Teams like Leeds who end up putting 6 in midfield (because they drop the forward deep or they push the defender on) then you play 3-5-2 with Traore up front. You should do the same vs Southampton and City because they like to press too.

          But teams like Everton, Burnley, Villa, you should go 3-4-3 as they play a more 'zonal' (not properly zonal, but they don't press as much) so you will be able to exploit the space against them easily.
