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.

      Well tbh value wise, 4/5 at the back is best as long as cs going around, and especially with attacking defenders.
      Say you have James, Chilwell, then two others like robbo and bellerin. You laughing really

        Kinda forced to this week with Salah (and Zaha) out.
        Chilwell, Creswell & Robbo = 28 points plus whatever Kilman achieves. Front three 6pts total.

    Of course it is 0-0 when a few ML rivals have the likes of Patricio, KWP, McCarthy... 1-1 with Neves and Djenepo scoring the goals would be just fine.

        Burnley match ended 1-0. Completely different outcome for Palace assets.

        And how has this match been setup to be 0-0? The amount of "I knew this was gonna happen" comments that Hindsight Henry's throw out when it fits their agenda is hilarious at time.

    Own McCarthy, KWP, Adams and Semedo. The way this GW has gone, I fully expect podence to score in the 90th minute (I transferred him for Ziyech) to ruin 2 Southampton clean sheets, followed immediately by a goal from anyone but KWP and Adams to ruin the Semedo clean sheet. But i still love this game...

    Here’s the dilemma
    Jimenez to Vardy for free but no city (except for Foden)
    or stick to original plan of Son to Kdb and Kane to Vardy or Jimenez down to 6.5m which will free up funds to get Salah back and improve Foden
