Another start for budget FPL defender Kilman as Darlow is passed fit for Newcastle

The second of three Premier League matches to take place on Sunday sees Wolverhampton Wanderers entertain Newcastle United.

Kick-off at Molineux is at 16:30 BST.

With the exception of Adama Traore (£6.4m), there is good news all round for owners of Wolves’ most-popular Fantasy Premier League assets.

Max Kilman (£4.1m) is handed his third straight start at centre-back, with Romain Saiss (£5.2m) again deployed at left wing-back.

Kilman was the most-bought FPL defender of Gameweek 6, with almost 340,000 Fantasy managers recruiting the budget asset for this fixture.

Traore’s third benching in a row means that Raul Jimenez (£8.5m) is again joined in attack by Daniel Podence (£5.5m) and Pedro Neto (£5.5m), meanwhile.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s only change to the side that beat Leeds United is a like-for-like one, with Ruben Neves (£5.4m) replacing Joao Moutinho (£5.4m) in central midfield.

The team news for the visitors is a bit more complicated, with Steve Bruce making four alterations from his starting XI in Gameweek 6.

There isn’t a change between the posts, however, with Karl Darlow (£5.0m) passed fit to feature.

Emil Krafth (£4.4m) and Joelinton (£5.8m) are both benched, with Isaac Hayden (£4.9m) also among the substitutes as Steve Bruce opts not to risk his half-fit midfielder.

Jonjo Shelvey (£5.4m), who is set for groin surgery, misses out completely.

Fabian Schar (£4.9m), Ryan Fraser (£5.8m), Jacob Murphy (£4.9m) and Miguel Almiron (£5.8m) come into the Magpies’ rather offensive-looking starting XI.


Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Rui Patricio, Boly, Coady, Kilman, Semedo, Dendoncker, Neves, Saiss, Neto, Jimenez, Podence.

Newcastle United XI: Darlow, Schar, Lascelles, Fernandez, Lewis, Almiron, Hendrick, Fraser, Saint-Maximin, Wilson, Murphy.

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yup

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

    He seemed incredibly slow there, had 1 m head start on wilson and still needed a last ditch tackle to stop him

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

      Reply fail

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No negativity towards Kilman, thank you.

      Just in case Nuno takes tactical advice from here...

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

        I don't think so or Vinagre would still be at the club 😉

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          😆 captain!

  10. Steve The Spud

    Semado loves a bonus

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years

      Hope so

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Loves the bonus so much he hasn't gotten a single one since he joined the league xD

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He’s just plummeted, I’ve broken him sorry

  11. farmerfat

    45 is the new 100

    1. THFC4LIFE

  12. Steve The Spud

    People jumping on the Zaha wagon, I fear that ship has sailed

    1. Tambling5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Still has some goodish fixtures...

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

      After Wolves his fixtures are tasty

  13. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Wolves defense is world class with Boly, keep it tight at the back lads

  14. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Need to wait for Second Half FC to survive the first one here, if they keep it 0-0 we know they'll dominate the second half and score two

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Extremely lively first half considering it’s Wolves.

  15. Tambling5
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I tend to look at fixtures a lot in selection, and it's difficult when anyone can beat anyone! Looked at season ticker earlier, and it's confusing with say, Leeds and Saints being regarded as good fixtures! Think I'll continue to save wild card...

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

      Leeds is a good fixture for attackers, not for defenders

  16. Esalman
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    What's the word on Vardy? Will he start?

    1. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Hopefully not. Tierney owner

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

    I have a Wolves defender in every single team across my fantasy games which is pretty crazy and a double up in FPL. Really need the cleanie here.

  18. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Saiss plays like hes never even wing back on training ground let alone competitive gane

  19. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Well at least Digne to Chilwell is an ez move

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

    Semado had 2 attempted assists, if only Wolves could finish

  21. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Awful game

  22. teneighty
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Wth, I was told everybody scores against Sotons high line. Someone lied!

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A high line works Well when you’ve got DCLoser running onto things

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

      *everyone with pace

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

    Remove Saiss from LWB ffs

  24. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Have not owned DCL all season but was thinking of bringing him in soon.. no need to rush into it now right?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Wouldn’t buy wouldn’t sell right now

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Was thinking exactly this,cheers

  25. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Didn't watch the game. How DCL and JRod played? And Everton overall?

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Spectacularly. Get Digne ASAP!!!

    2. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      DCL had 2 touches inside the box.

    3. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I only saw the first half. Everton looked poor overall.

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

      DCL hardly touched the ball. Sou CBs dominated him in the air and he's too slow to expose their high line

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Also terrible service has to be said. Everton midfield looked very poor. And they need Richarlisons speed. Siggy and James are slow asf

    5. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Everton showed just how reliant they are on Richarlison's brilliance making space for others to operate.

      1. thegaffer82
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Definitely this

    6. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      rubbish, rubbish and rubbish

  26. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Podence injured

    Coming off possibly

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Looks okay

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      he better not. I need that 3 point haul.

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

      Terrible bait.

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        "Possibly"

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

    Do something Jimenez Podence Saiss....

  28. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Terrible cross by Saiss

  29. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Next week captaincy decision looks tough....
    Son/Kane vs Brighton (H)
    Salah/Mane vs West Ham (H)

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

      Has to be spurs no brainer there

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Will be easy after Kane scores tomorrow

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

    Saiss having a mare..

    1. Pavsboot
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Really aint a wingback.

    2. Orion
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He’s not LWB...
