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.

    I played Saiss and benched Kilman but I hope Saiss isn't subbed on HT

  3. Nightcrawler

    Saiss could be dropped next game or moved back into kilmans position

    Shocking wing back stuff

    1. Pavsboot

      Yeah typical centre back playing wing back stuff....

      Famous last words before he scores!

    I'm not watching the game yet. What's wrong with Saiss?

    1. Rainer

      OOP.

      1. Jdpz
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        what?

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

          Out of position, playing LWB, not very well.

    2. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Playing wing back, not very well

  5. jtreble
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Any word from EVE about Rodríguez‘s injury?

  6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Falling asleep watching this

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

      The games have suddenly got really boring, United v Chelsea was horrendous

      1. Utopsis
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        5 goals / game was simply not sustainable - normality seems to have resumed

  7. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Podence need to do something. The rest of my team don't like him.

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

    Semedo not as offensive as I hoped he would be

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

      He offended you

    Another match just like the Man Utd Chelsea match yesterday where I'm actually falling asleep watching it. If it wasn't for FPL I would have zero interest in watching football. Dull as dishwater.

    1. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years

      Turn it off and do the washing up. I own Kilman but have no interest in watching it.

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I've got Killman, Jimenez and Wilson.

  10. Steve The Spud

    Classic wolves 1-0 written all over it

  11. FPLShaqiri
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I own Podence. I am delighted when I see him in the line up, but given how little Wolves do for the first hour maybe I should hope he gets benched...

  12. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Wolves just bore u to death with this tedious predictable style of play

    1. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Especially against the black & white bus.

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

    Wolves need a creative midfielder, will allow Jimenez to score more

    1. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Neves?

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

    Which option do you prefer?

    A) KDB, Kilman.

    B) Hamez, TAA.

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

      Has to be A

  15. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 6 months ago

    Can't fathom at all why Traore isn't playing. Wolves are absolutely toothless with no threat. Traore would make a difference.

    1. Don Van Vliet
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm not a huge fan of Traore -- lack of technical ability or deftness. But his 'punt and run' approach certainly gets him to the byline and puts balls into the box for Jiménez.

      Wolves continue to look impotent without his strength and pace.

    Jimi > bamford done

    1. Freshy

      • 13 Years

      Think im with ya dog

  17. Gobigorgohome

    3 years, 6 months ago

    Wow Kilman bossing the baps

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

      Doing robbo to Kilman as allows Pereira to Bruno

      1. Utopsis
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        You're going to sell Pereira before Fulham?

  18. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Poor by ASM

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

      Yup awful cross

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

      Just as poor as how Jimenez gave away the ball for the chance.

  19. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Who is more overrated, ASM or Traore?

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Asm

  20. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Saint maximin must be blind

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

    Shame Podence will survive another week

  22. Utopsis
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    A dearth of quality from both sides here, my God

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

    Wolves are really missing Moutinho. Shame he got old.

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

    Mistake I made with triple Wolves was not getting the double defense, Podence was so cheap though!

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

      Their defenders are BPS magnets

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

      I did not make this mistake 😀

      Double Wolves defense since GW3. Has been great so far.

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

        Indeed! World class with Boly fit.

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

        should have played James.

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

          Meh. If Rashford's last minute shot goes in it doesn't look like such a bad mistake.

      3. Dexters Laboratory
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        You can say that again. Bad to say I'm thinking of RJames/Mitchell to Kilman. Season keeper if he keeps his place. Then Semendo to ManC/ManU Def when the fixtures toughen

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

    Semedo noooo

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

    Beautiful from Podence

    1. Jdpz
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      What he did?

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

      How lag is your stream?

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

      bonus for that?

  27. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Jimenez doing a very poor Kane impression...

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

    Will Kane get more points then Salah this week?

    Kane is my Captain. Rival has Salah C

    1. beric
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Seems likely

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Seems likely, worst case he matches Salah..

    3. Don Van Vliet
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Is this a trick question?

  29. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Chilwell seems to be rising like mad after that Digne red on Fplstats..
    Is he expected to rise in a few hours from now at that rate?
