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.

    Ffs Semedo. What a shocking week

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

      Luckily he's not on BP, would have been more annoyed

  3. Magic Zico

    Why was Saiss taken off for Marcal? Missed that

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

      Nuno didn't fancy a CS.

    2. ivantys
      • 3 Years

      Dropped for being poor

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

        Yet they conceded after he went off?

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

          He wasn't doing anything as LWB but the same could be said of Semedo too, they probably didn't have a replacement for Semedo

    3. Iceball

      Must be in Nunos fantasy team 🙂

    4. Garlana
      • 9 Years

      Maybe wanted more pace on the pitch, brought traore on at the same time

    5. Magic Zico

      Farewell points then? Want to keep him!

        Might get his CB place back from Kilman now.

    6. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Nuno didn’t want to risk his CS points, only Wolves defender he has in his team.

      Same, about time I had the luck after yesterday's horror show.

  9. Camzy

    At least Saiss kept a CS I guess... Bloody hell.

    Which looks best out of these?

    A. Brewster -> Bamford
    B. Podence -> Zaha

    Martinez Forster
    Robbo Saiss Chilwell Lamptey Mitchell
    Salah Son Rodrigez Grealish Podence
    DCL Jimenez Brewster

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I went for Bamford, instead of non playing 4.5 fwd

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

        Who’s the non-playing 4.5?

  14. King Carlos
    • 8 Years

    That was Patricio's fault. Poorly placed wall... Kilman owner.

    3 - Jiménez (33)
    2 - Murphy (28)
    1 - Saïss (23)

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

      I'll take this, ta!

  16. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years

    53 from 9.

    Very bad considering I don't have Kane

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

      Im on 36 without son or Kane you troll

    2. mgilbert86
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      such an annoying brag post

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Don't rise to it. That's what these people need. They probably don't get enough attention from people IRL

    3. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I’m on 23 plus Kane, Son and Lamptey.
      That’s a very good score

    4. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No it's not and you know it.

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

      Great score

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

        -_-

    6. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Obviously if Kane goes mental it’s below average, but unlikely

      1. Lazaretti
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He should score 10 , sorry maybe 9 +bps

    7. Manani
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      always see people bragging 'low score' in a low scoring game week

    8. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why do people even bothet responding.

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

        Everybody is drunk

      Jerk

  17. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Roll the FT for another week?

    Martinez (Steer)

    Trent - Saiss - Lamptey (Taylor & Dallas)
    Salah - Son - Zaha - Podence (Burke)
    DCL - Jimmy - Kane

    0.6m itb, 1FT.

  18. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    What a day.
    Digne red, DCL 1 pointer.
    And now in a few mins Saiss with bps and Wilson assist.
    This is why this game is so attractive 😀

  19. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Which is the better move here to get Kane?

    A) Jimenez + Robbo ➡ Kane + Cresswell
    B) Jimenez + Ings ➡ Kane + Antonio
    C) Jimenez + Sterling ➡ Kane + Rashford/Pulisic

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

      I don't think it's worth tearing your team up for Kane at this point. Losing any of those guys you're removing is a mistake imo.

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Thnx mate, most would captain him next two GWs and thought it could kill me

    2. Scrumper
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'm currently considering A) and C).

      I'll prob go C) but might do Bale instead as temporary spurs attack triple up (never thought I'd utter those words...)

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

      Keep Jimenez for next three.

  20. Over Midwicket
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Just raged transferred Bamford (C) in for a -4 for juicy MNF

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

      A sure fire strategy to hate playing the game longterm

      Half the battle in this game is patience and holding your players long enough so they can score points.

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

    FFS ML rival has Saiss! How do people get so lucky?

    1. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I have Saiss as well, and after Salah (c) and double Pool defence yesterday I'm not going to feel guilty about it at all.

  22. Manani
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    ditched jimenez this week for Kane. oof

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

      So did I but Kane can outscore

  23. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Saiss with a cheeky 7 pointer

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

    Jimmy is such a BP magnet since their games are always low scoring his one goal always meant 2-3 BP

  25. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Jimenez and Saiss 😀

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

    Murphy’s Law.

  27. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Are Jimmy pts a rank killer?

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Nahhh

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Ownership tells you.

  28. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Brewster to Bamford for free?
    Have 1 FT and 1.3 ITB.
    Other option is to save and build towards getting Bruno in after 2 GWs.

    Have this team:

    Martinez Steere
    TAA James Dallas Lamptey Mitchell
    Salah Sterling Son Foden Podence
    DCL Ings Brewster

  29. afsr
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    1) Who to change Digne to? Keane? Chilwell? Someone else under 6.0?
    2) Do i do Jimenez -> Bamford as a paid transfer?
