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

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.

      The same as any other big hitter you haven’t got. Chill. If you dont want or cant afford unless you rip your team apart then just roll with it.

    The commentators don’t want to see people sent off...

    What happened

  13. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    why is it not a RED if Son one was a RED?????

    1. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Son decision was wrong

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Because it was more a pilates stretch into the air?

  14. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    How is that not a red card!

    He’s kicked out!

  15. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Wow very lucky

  16. Rains of Castamere
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Nothing in that

    Jimi ban?

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No because it was seen

  18. Firmino
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Looked like red for Jimenez

  19. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Are we sure Jimenez' goal will stand?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why wouldn’t it

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Looked to me as it was a clear own goal. He headed the ball in the opposite direction. Only saw it once though. So might need to see it again

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Shot was on target. People around these parts don’t seem to know football rules

        2. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          If shot is on target it can change direction from one end to other and it'll still be the guys goal

  20. Nimby
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Damn. If he'd been sent off I'd have moved on Kane so fast.

  21. Dont give a fuchs
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Phewwww

  22. Zimo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I'll be okay with a retrospective ban. Plan to do Jimenez to Kane this week anyways 😆

  23. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Jimenez kick out similar to Son's red card

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

    No way Jimi gets a red there.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Owner of Jimenez!?

  25. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Heading to the garden with a ciggy and a beer and I don't even smoke, dam you Podence.

  26. Dynamo Chicken
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is there any inkling as to when the double gameweek for the GW1 games will take place?

    It's the final consideration before I rip up my team to get Kane and bring back 2 point Timo.

  27. ClassiX
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Jimi might get a post-match ban for that...

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Probably not. I think there's a rule if var checks it and nothing happens then u go scottfree

      1. ClassiX
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Don't think VAR can get involved outside the 18 yard box?

    2. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

    Jimenez ban incoming

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Can't, ref saw it. Just like Pickford

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Jimmy trying Robbos patented 'Im injured so you can't give me a red card'. It works out again

      1. Muchentuchel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Richarlison tried that too and it didn't work

    3. FISSH
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      So.... That's not a red... How?
