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.

    This was my first game this season that Im happy with FPL-wise. Saiss and Jimmy are my heroes.

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

      Saiss points are pure luck

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

        Jimenez also, Darlow should have saved that. Last week he was even luckier and I thought that wouldn't continue. So took a hit to ditch him.

  4. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    What are Podence owners doing? Give one more week?

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

      yes

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

      He was my starter in a 3 5 2. Will be first bench in a 3 4 3 next week.

    3. Frozen Mukluks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

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

      He's my 5th mid. 3 PPM is better than some of my team. I'll keep, and may shift to someone like Bowen later.

    5. Nedvěd11
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Playing 3-5-2 so he really starts annoying me.
      Think he is close to be benched IRL

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

      Keeping, has a monster haul in him

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

    A) TAA to Chilwell
    B) Saiss to Zouma
    C) Save

  6. Joey Tribbiani
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Even with 2 goals in 2, Jimenez has to go for Kane

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

      Have done the same and never looked back

      1. Joey Tribbiani
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Just not sure if I should do it tonight before price rise

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      4 goals in 6, has done nothing wrong really.

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

    Bottomed

    Should I get Kane here?

    Martinez
    Robbo Justin James //Kilman Ferguson
    Salah Sterling Son Podence //Bissouma
    Jimenez Ings DCL

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Probably not, unless Kane goes berzerk v Burnley. Which fwd would you lose though?

  8. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I sold Barnes and Castagne for a hit. I know how this is going to end.

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

      Amen for Barnes. He plays a striker, hopefully brace is on the cards

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

    Team for next week. Does it look ok?

    Martinez
    TAA James Dallas
    Salah Sterling Son Foden
    DCL Ings Bamford

    Steere Podence Mitchell Lamptey

      Looks like I’m out if I’m still in that is

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

    Son or Kane cap next week? Im leaning towards Son

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

      I might follow you

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

      Depends on who is not injured by then.

    3. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kane

    4. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Flip a coin. Kane being on pens makes me feel safe

  13. osceola31909
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 5 months ago

    I am worried that Saiss was substituted instead of Kilman. Saiss could have moved back to Kilman's position when Marcal came in. Does this mean Kilman has supplanted Saiss?

    1. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      People reading too much into it. Saiss would have been mentally playing as a LB all game and Kilman was there already set and picking his man up.

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

      Just didn't want to upset the back 3. Saiss is either getting the CB spot back or is starting at LWB again ahead of Marcal how was at fault for conceding

  14. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Come on Harveeeeyyyyyy

  15. King Carlos

    Can anybody beat this?

    My defensive (keeper+3 defenders) scores in the last 3 gwks:

    GWK 4: -2 pts(!)
    GWK 5: 5 pts
    GWK 6: 0 pts (Ryan to play)

    In the last 3 gwks, my defenders have scored a total of 3 pts!!

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

      Link team please!

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

          Damn! Sorry bro, just the unpredictable nature of the game

          1. King Carlos
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Thanks man... ffs is fun game to play! 🙂

            But still, this has to be a record..

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You've got 2 points in defence this gw when sub comes on. Doing okay in general.

      1. King Carlos
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, noticed that as soon as I hit post... but still! This ain't good for my health! Lol!

  16. LLoris
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    What transfer should I do?
    A) Podence for Bamford
    B) Saliba for Kilman (Bench)

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

      Get Zouma

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

    One of my ML opponents has Bamford 17 pointer on the bench and is going to get cockblocked by Vardy 1pointer

  18. thomashl
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    17 points with three to go from my WC lads:

    Martinez
    Kilman Robbo Lamptey
    Son Salah(c) Grealish Rodriguez
    DCL Kane Watkins

    Chilwell smiling from the bench. Backed my team Utd to score, not much to do about that.

    We go again next week

  19. SomeoneKnows
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Martinez
    Robbo, Chilwell, Saiss
    Salah, Son, Rodriguez, Grealish
    Kane, DCL, Maupay

    Forster, Soucek, Dallas, Mitchell
    0.5m ITB, 2 free transfers

    Transfer ideas?

  20. kbogusz
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    McCarthy (Ryan)
    Justin, Targett, Mitchell (Digne, Lewis)
    Salah, Rodriguez, Rashford, Podence (Harrison)
    Kane, Jimenez, Wilson

    1FT, 1.2 ITB

    I really think it's time for wildcard before the GW7. Too many underperforming players and too much money wasted on bench. Plus Digne suspension.

    Any suggetions?

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

      Oh I'd definitely WC that team.

      Defense is a nightmare.

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

        Maybe you can hold out until GW10 if you're desperate by doing like Digne > Chilwell.

        I think WC'ers in GW9/10 stand to gain the most.

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

          That was the plan initially to wait until GW9 for a WC but looking how bad is my team atm i don't think i should wait anymore longer.

          On the other hand, some teams form is still quite uncertain. Feel like Villa are overperforming for how they are playing. Not sure about City players and Spurs schedule gets really difficult after GW8. Worried about how Everton is going to do without Richarlison and Digne too.

    2. Z
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      My god....WC that

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

      Close, but I would consider -4 or even -8. Digne to Chilwell and Rashford to Son and it looks much better imo.

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

    Thats twice recently now I got some luck with Wolves defenders, last season post Covid, Doherty was benched and came on, got an assist and then gave away a pen so all other wolves defenders concdeded. And now Saiss today 😀

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

      To be fair I had Doherty then and it was hilarious.

      Swings and roundabouts

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

        I have had about 3 goals ruled out tho in that same time period. Boly once, Saiss last week and im sure theres another

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

          Boly was last season, post covid i think)

  22. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

    Sir Bamford makes an entry!

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

      Hold

  24. Quan MisTaka
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Sterling and Watkins to Kane and Zaha/Greenwood?

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

      Why do you even concider Greenwood over Zaha?

      Answer is Yes

      1. Quan MisTaka
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah fair enough. Wine has got to my head. Think ill do it tonight pre rises

  25. Z
    • 6 Years

    Lads, stop crying and forget about this GW....it is all part of a game 🙂

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

    On 14 points, but
    Maupay, Lamptey, Kane and Son to go.

    No chance of a good week, but hoping to get near average?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Need a Maupay hatty.

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

    Yey DCL 1 pointer means I haven't captained my lowest scoring player for once!

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

    TAA to Chilwell with FT or save?

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

      save

  29. Wicked Weapon
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    If Kane and Son blank combined with DCL and Salah blank, I think we'll be looking at 35-45 Average right ?

  30. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Wolves 3 points,Jimenez 9 points and Coady 8 points.Murphy though is one of these irritating players that will ruin your evening with a free kick...until next year.

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Wolves 1 point

      1. wulfrunian
