Coady and Saïss absent for Wolves as Traoré makes first start since Gameweek 3

Wolves come into a Gameweek 9 short of two defenders at the heart of of the team’s Fantasy Premier League appeal.

Despite not featuring since Gameweek 6, Romain Saïss (£5.2m) remains the club’s most popular Fantasy asset this season.

16.4% of managers still hold the Moroccan but he misses the visit of Southampton having tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19).

Conor Coady (£5.0m) is, of course, less of a key player for Fantasy managers (although he is still owned by 7.9%) but he is the lynchpin that has helped Wolves build up a reputation for clean sheets this calendar year – and he is also absent on Monday night.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are sure to miss the England international, who has featured in every game so far this season, Leander Dendoncker (£4.8m) dropping back to cover him in defence.

Elsewhere, there is an interesting change higher up the pitch as Pedro Neto (£5.5m), who has impressed in 2020/21, is replaced in the front-three by Adama Traoré (£6.2m), who makes a first start since Gameweek 3.

He is joined in the Wolves attack by Raúl Jiménez (£8.4m) and Daniel Podence (£5.5m).

Southampton make just one change to the side that beat Newcastle 2-0 before the international break.

Ryan Bertrand (£5.0m) is back in the side in the place of Jack Stephens (£4.8m), reclaiming the left-back berth from Jan Bednarek (£4.5m), who returns to centre-back.

Wolves XI (3-4-3): Patrício; Kilman, Dendoncker, Boly; Aït-Nouri, Neves, Moutinho, Semedo; Podence, Jiménez, A Traoré.

Southampton XI (4-4-2): A McCarthy; Bertrand, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Walker-Peters; Djenepo, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Armstrong; Walcott, Adams.

        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Oh yeah you’re right! This evening couldn’t have gone any better. If he hangs on I break 90 points for the GW

        1. Dont give a fuchs
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Excellent score. I'd be on 84 (-4)

            1. Dont give a fuchs
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Considering the pros here having prior finishes of top 10k or better, its the best season i am having till now

              1. Milk, 1 Šuker
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                Interesting. I’m having a mare of a season but this GW is massive. Jumped over a million places. Roll on next week!

                1. Dont give a fuchs
                  • 10 Years
                  3 years, 4 months ago

                  Still 29 gws to go. You can still catch the 1st OR

                    One can dream!

                      3 years, 4 months ago

                      A week or even a day being OR 1 wouldn't harm me either

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

    Seriously considering Semado to Cancelo or Dias for a -4, don’t really see how it can’t pay off over the next 4 games

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

      I'd do it.

    2. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Good plan Spud

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

      I plan to ditch Lamptey for him.

  5. Pompel
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Annoying with Vardy likely price rise tonight, will be 0.1 planned transfer. Will take that as a sign not to be as trigger happy this GW.

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

      Yes. But Jota rose already and it looks like I will have serious monetary issues unless I do it. No risk, no gain.

  6. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Can’t make my mind up! Keeping Son but should I do;

    Kane > Vardy (c) 1FT before he rises?

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I did it.

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Early transfers are brave with covid and European games.

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

      Do it.
      But would you do it if you wouldn't have Son? Asking for a friend...

  7. Dirty Harry
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Need to get rid of Podence as he is my 5th mid.

    Worth a -4 for Lamptey/Taylor + Podence for Cancelo + 4.5mid?

    I can't bear to hold Podence taking up cash doing nothing

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

    F in the chat for fellow GW2 McCarthy > Guaita managers. Sack us on sight 😆

  9. Nimby
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    Wolves are boring. Laters, Jimmy. You are outta here!

  10. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Guys, please help:

    A. Kane => Vardy
    B. JRod + Brewster => 4.5 + Vardy -4

  11. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years

    PVA (NEW, wba).

    Keep or sell for Cancelo/Dias (BUR, FUL) for free?

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

          Fortunately not, but the humble brag bull is really not welcomed around here.

            • 14 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            It’s been a crappy season for most of us on here.

            Let people celebrate when they get a good score.

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

      63 for me after my -4, not bad considering I benched Salah for Bissouma, and Lamptey got a red

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

    Even though it is not in my transfer "plan", I want to rage transfer Fraudence out right now.

  14. Firmino
    • 8 Years

    Adams you beauty

  15. FPL price manipulators are …
    • 10 Years

    Rule 273 of FPL: Jimi doesn't blank 3 games in a row

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      True. Still time to move for Vardy?

    2. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      I know I spotted this. Goes on a two game spree then blanks

          Cheers mate. I needed this

  17. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    So time to get rid of Semedo. City's Dias a good option?

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

      Or Cancelo for sure.

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Would prefer a full back alright. Cancelo as nailed as Walker?

  18. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Impressive defending from Saints this game. Surprisingly deep line.

  19. Bushwhacker
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Lovely to see the bosses sharing a laugh.

    1. HippY

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

  21. HippY
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Those McCarthy/KWP bonus points shift at the end turned the GW from red to green 🙂

    Do we all think Alex will keep hold of the 3 bps from this evening’s game?

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

    Ditched McCarthy for Martinez in GW6 on WC, gutted really.

  26. BeWater
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Feared the worst going in with this team but looking at 65 points.

    Martinez
    Cancelo Zouma KWP Taylor
    Son Barkley Jota Bruno (c)
    Kane Mitro

    McCarthy Mitchell Brewster Salah

    WC this rabble?

    McCarthy

    Watkins Werner Calvert-Lewin

    Steer Coady Mitchell Burke

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Don't think it's a rabble. How many FTs and money ITB have you got?

  28. ZaZaZu
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Is Fuchs first choice? Some good fixtures coming up and I need to replace a 4.5 defender

  29. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Which is best if any?

    Son and Saiss ➡️ Salah and Killman -4
    Kane Bowen Saiss ➡️ Salah Bamford and Cancelo +.5 -8
    Bowen and Saiss ➡️ Foden ( IMO he will start net 2).(.1 off Jota) and Robertson -4

    Martinez Foster
    Chillwell Saiss Mitchell Targett Lamptey
    Son Burke Bowen Bruno Grealish
    Kane DCL Vardy.

  30. Heisenberg W. W.
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Is Cancelo and Soucek worth a -8 for Bernardo and Zaha?

    I've already used my FT for next gw to avoid price change.
