Saïss benched for Wolves as Mitchell misses Palace’s trip to Molineux

Gameweek 7 of Fantasy Premier League has started exactly as many had expected in this crazy, topsy-turvy season.

The top-scoring defender after six Gameweeks Romain Saïss (£5.3m) finds himself on the Wolves bench for a Friday-night clash with Crystal Palace, replaced in the starting XI by Rayan Aït-Nouri (£5.0m).

As predicted on our team news page, Max Kilman (£4.2m) retains his spot in the back-three though, joined there by regulars Conor Coady (£5.0m) and Willy Boly (£5.5m).

That should only serve to increase the budget man’s ownership, perhaps with those invested in Saïss preparing to make an easy switch already.

There was also some uncertainty over the role of Daniel Podence (£5.5m) in Wolves’ Gameweek 7 line-up but, as predicted by Neale, he earns yet another start flanking Raúl Jiménez (£8.5m), keeping Adama Traoré (£6.3m) on the bench for a fourth league match in a row.

Meanwhile, Wolves are not the only ones with bad team news for Gameweek 7 as the 25%-owned Tyrick Mitchell (£4.2m) misses out with the knock reported by Roy Hodgson this week.

The left-back has not made it into the match squad, let alone the bench, allowing Patrick van Aanholt (£5.4m) to come in for his first start of the season while Nathaniel Clyne (£4.5m) gets a second consecutive outing at right-back.

There will be plenty of eyes on Wilfried Zaha (£7.3m) tonight ahead of earning 26.9% backing for Gameweek 7.

The Eagles have won three of their last five league matches at Wolves, while both of Zaha’s double-digit hauls this season, have come on the road this year.

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Patrício; Kilman, Coady, Boly; Aït-Nouri, Neves, Dendoncker, Semedo; Neto, Jiménez, Podence.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; van Aanholt, Dann, Kouyaté, Clyne; Schlupp, Riedewald, Milivojevic, Townsend; Zaha, Batshuayi.

    As a Pva owner i feel so frustrated.

      I am with you and that yc doesn't help

    Kilman escapes a yellow

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Non owner?

      1. ivantys

        It's just 1 point lol

    Here comes Zaha's trolling streak. Probably will have a run of 10 games now without doing anything.

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      He’s gotten his few goals for the year, time to chill

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        He plays WBA soon. I disagree

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          The bear is there now man, fear Branislov

        2. ElliotJHP
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Don't think West Brom are the same whipping boys they were in the first few games

  4. Gobigorgohome

    PVA is so attacking as usual if anyone wants to know

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      They should play him ahead of Mitchell

      1. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        they will

        Mitchell will play RB
        Clyne is not good enough

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I agree, that’s what they will do, but I’m saying play him in mf

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            And they conceded 2 crosses which lead to goals from Mitchel side. The lad is nailed imo

  5. Baps hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 4 months ago

    Saiss is cheap, but is he worth getting with these fixtures? Wolves have been lucky, not tight at the back.

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Do you mean Kilman

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yes... Sorry.

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I was thinking about selling Saiss for Kilman and watching the match same time. Only first pint drinken yet 😉

        1. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Given the fixtures im not sure Kilman would be worth playing short term. But he's cheap , good to bank him now

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Watching the match?

    3. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      well he's not playing tonight

    4. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I will sell him for Cresswell. He lost his place on LWB and maybe even as CB.

    5. Carefree Crew
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Saiss to Cresswell is my transfer too. Take the profit & run. Fixtures, rotation risk versus Cresswell nailed, attacking, set pieces, positive fixtures.

      Neither look like changing price tonight, straight in after they draw with the scousers!

    6. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Their fixtures turn too. I’m not certain to go Saiss > Kilman now. May go elsewhere.

    7. Tomerick

      Ait-Nouri is the new hotness.

  6. FER FUSCH AKE

    Jimmy Kilman and Guita owner. What should I wish for?

      Guaita & Kilman lower owned.

  7. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years

    How many games do you see Haller getting in their easier run of games ?

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Don't go there

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Hehe thank you

    2. Tomerick
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not enough for him to score.

  8. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years

  9. KGFC

  11. Budweiser
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Is Kilman playing good?

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

      Missed a chance. Escaped a card. Not really had to defend much yet, but he's normally good at that anyway

      1. Budweiser
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers Geoff

  12. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    this Nouri lad is playing like Robertson

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

      Is he really?

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

        Ill need to get jim in if that's tru

        1. Zimo

          Him*

          1. Gobigorgohome
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            shame he might not nail

            1. FPL.team
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Good looking lad I'm sure he will.

      2. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        yes

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He’s been good, but no

  13. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    PvA is having a stinker on his return. All of Wolves' attacks are going down the right.

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

      He’s playing LF which is the issue, haven’t seen him defend yet and we are at half time...

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Mitchel will be surely recalled and looks nailed on

  14. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Wolves with a good attack, Jimenez with a good clearance

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      thats how i see it too 😆

    Cheeky Neto almost caught guaita out

  17. 1zverGGadeM
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    There is more to come from Nouri and Podence in this game 🙂

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

    Guaita almost blundering in another one

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

      My captain.

  19. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Does Semedo ever look like getting any attacking returns?

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He'll get one eventually.
      I dont rate him at all. Flatters to deceive, no composure

  20. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Clyde the classic English fullback who’s been average but just never good enough to do well

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Right turn Clyde.

      1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        lol

    2. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Clyne

  21. Over Midwicket
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Guaita looks hurt, wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't make it out for the second half

  22. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I demand that Podence assist!

    1. The Senate
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Please yes

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah I don't get why he didn't get it.

    3. Supertrooper
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Same, if this is 'significantly' altering a direction of a pass'' then they should just make it clear that if a def touches the ball then no assist is awardes

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Indeef

  23. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Thinking of doing this tonight before the price rises

    Your thoughts would be much appreciated

    Robbo + Podence + Jimenez ➡ Chilwell + Rashford + Bamford

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Naaah for me

    2. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No

  24. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Need to sell Saiss now?

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

      Good time. Fixtures turn.

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

    Shameful that Boly is allowed to maim PvA just because it was offside. Very dangerous precedent set with Pickford on VVD

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He tried to pull off it tbh

    2. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I just don’t think that’s true.

    3. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      it was a dive from PVA imo

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

    Will Saiss get a cameo do we think?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He might if they are defending

  27. gonzalocampos
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    4 weeks with Podence, switched to Grealish this week ;(

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Unlucky

    2. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Good chance Grealish outscores him

      1. Tomerick
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Hope so I’ve got both.

      2. gonzalocampos
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        You were right, 15 points Grealish vs. 8 Podence 🙂

    3. Dacra
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      To Rashford here.

  28. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Was EO % for Salah and Kane released?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      On livefpl it was.

  29. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    will be saying goodbye to Podence after this game. Just doesn't make many runs into the box. Not good for FPL points.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      5.5m what more do you want?

  30. Alonso The Great Midfielder
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Please let podence stay until full time. But neto was great too. Sub jiminez then.

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

      If only. He never plays more than 70

      1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        thats why. I thought neto will be prefered on right flank with adama, and with jota left out podence will cement his place. But thats not gonna happen

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Ill be happy if he gets 60
