What impact will Jonny’s injury have on Wolves clean sheet potential?

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are having second thoughts about purchasing Wolves players ahead of the Gameweek 31 swing of fixtures.

Players such as Conor Coady (£4.8m) and Romain Saïss (£4.9m) have appealed strongly in the build-up to second-Wildcard season, especially with the obvious set-piece threat, but recent developments may have damaged their all-important clean sheet potential.

Defensive resilience seemed to have returned to the club with the reintroduction of Jonny Otto (£5.4m) in early February after a six month absence with a serious knee problem.

However, a hugely unfortunate reoccurrence of that injury in training raises the question, especially after Monday night’s slump at home to West Ham, of whether Wolves’ defensive assets can still be trusted for the FPL run in.

In this article, we shall use data from the Fantasy Football Scout Premium Members Area to answer that question.

      Lascelles, not Mendy II

      Get Mendy ( Leicester) as one of your kids and boom Mendy Mendy mendy

      Think mahrez will play? He played full 90 last night. This was also my plan till he played the full 90

    Did Raphinha & Burn to Jota & Phillips for a hit yesterday.

    G2G?

      capt?

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Tempted to risk it on Jota but probably Salah.

    2. Reece’s Pieces
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      At some point Gundo may need to go. Rapha swap in three games maybe

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Might make that swap in GW33.

  3. Gudjohnsen

    How is Grealish still owned by 17%?

    1. Holmes

      dead teams

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years

        or maybe trust Smith

  4. Eleven Hag

    Howz this WC draft looking? (0.6ITB)

    Mendy Forster
    TAA Shaw Rudiger // Coady Ward//
    Salah Jota Son Maddison Moura
    Kane Ings Nacho

    - FH33, BB35
    - Ward is included for BB35 with a likely double for Palace vs SHU and Saints
    - Moura for DGW and will be sold for Rafhina later on
    - Ings (c) vs WBA and got a double

    1. Reece’s Pieces
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      When you lay it out like that it’s hard to argue against. Wish they’d hurry up and sort those doubles for us

  5. Starskyb
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    On a WC and got some either ors. Would appreciate opinions

    A) Salah or Jota?
    B) Philips or holding?
    D) son or KDB?

    Cheers

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years

      Both
      Phillips
      Son

  6. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years

    Bamford to

    A. Ings (C)
    B. Jesus (C)
    C. Keep Bamford

    1. Eleven Hag

      A

  7. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    2.8m left over on my WC draft... where would you upgrade?

    Mendy Forster
    Fofana Coady Rudiger Holding Phillips
    Salah Bruno Son Jota Neto
    Kane Nacho Vydra

    Currently thinking Vydra -> Watkins and Holding -> Shaw?

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      BB left?

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yep

      2. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Want to use it next week and be done with it

    2. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No Lingard? Would definetly have him over Neto. Nacho is also a bit risky imo. Could get dropped anytime.

  8. Reece’s Pieces
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Some advice appreciated.

    I just swapped Bale for Jota. Had planned Konsa to Trent but after his defensive woes last night (even though his crossing was brilliant) I’m now preferring Rapha > Lingard at -4

    Thoughts?

    1. DangerFC
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      If you plan on keeping lingard long term then yeah. He has a tricky fixture coming up.

      1. Reece’s Pieces
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I do. I’m quietly confident for his game vs Leicester this weekend and then get Newcastle next. He can be benched vs Chelsea the one after

  9. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I was watching the Man City game mostly.

    Just watched the Liverpool highlights, they defended like donkeys.

    Will need to score 4 or 5 to win.

    1. Reece’s Pieces
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Agree. It’s put me off Trent despite him looking strong going forward. Barely noticed Robertson playing

      1. It's his Job.
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Me too! Plus not having Trent frees up more funds to use elsewhere.

      2. JabariParkersEyelid
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        They're not gonna be playing Real in the prem though.

        1. Reece’s Pieces
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          The game against Villa will tell us a lot then

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            7 2?

  10. Sloane426
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Can’t decide on this...2FTs
    (A) Tierney + Raphina > Phillips + Jota
    (B) Tierney + Raphina + Bamford > Trent + Jota + 4.2m fodder -4

    1. Sid07
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      A

    2. Reece’s Pieces
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Tricky as Jota may get benched but can still score in 30m. Liverpool defence still sketchy.

      A for me

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah, that could be one move. Bamford to Wood and Gundogan to Jota, if possible, can also work

          1. Sid07
            • 9 Years

            Good suggestion, but have nothing itb

    -4 for this?

    Raph + Bams > Jota + iheanacho

    1. DangerFC
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Would you do one this week and then nacho next week?

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Funding is the problem- need the nacho move to get Jota

  15. aapoman
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Martinez
    Rüdiger Azpi Digne
    KDB Bruno Son Mount Gündo
    Kane DCL

    Fabri; Konsa, Burn, Brewster

    KDB and Gündo to Salah and Saka? Have 2ft and looking to offload City players. Also looking to sell Villa players very soon.

  16. DangerFC
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Gundo to sterling worth a -4? This week. Would then plan on sterling to salah for free.

    1. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Why not just Gundo to Salah?

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Is gundo definitely not playing ?

      1. DangerFC
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        He isn't definitely not playing mate but with pep rotating it's a big risk to take. Especially if your near top of your leagues and fighting for the cash prizes.

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

      I think sterling will outscore salah this week and I am second in my league 60 points behind. I think he will offer a good differential.

  17. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Cheeky repost. Help greatly appreciated

    Do you think Iheanacho is still a good option ?

    Could do
    Stones to Phillips for free this week
    Then
    Mount and DCL to son and Iheanacho for free following gw

    Good moves ?

    Thank you

    1. DangerFC
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      They look good enough. I think stones will play this weekend though and get a clean sheet. Dgw plans look solid.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years

      Bit heavy up top. Swap Vardy for Inancho and upgrade elsewhere. Looks good though, can't see any weaknesses really. Do you want KDB?

      1. It's his Job.
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers,
        I can downgrade Vardy and Upgrade Rdiger to TAA purely due to rotation risk

        1. mcsteely
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          IMO Rudiger is fairly nailed, after Saturday it looks as if Chelsea need him. I'd sooner sell Shaw or Coufal if I had to

        Aha, but they’ve a good run of fixtures - Jota is a boost and they won the last two

        Villa aren’t in a great place without grealish

        1. The Hunt
          • 14 Years

          Well, they did put seven past them in the reverse fixture 😀

            • 4 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Fair enough they show poor form, but don't u think that's an anomaly?

            1. The Hunt
              • 14 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              Not sure if you're meaning the 7-2 game was an anomaly or Liverpool's run of home form. That score definitely was but it was the first sign this season that Liverpool were a shadow of the team they were in 19/20. As for the run of home form?...put it this way, I think Liverpool will have gone nine games without a home win by 5pm on Saturday.

  20. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    How is this WC draft? Son to become Salah after 32. 3.4ITB

    May change Emi but I want Lloris for the double.

    Lloris
    Rudiger TAA Dias
    Bruno Jota Lingard Son Neto
    Kane Nacho

    Martinez Watkins Shaw Mitchell

    1. The Hunt
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I think Son & Kane are enough Spurs for the double. I reckon there's a fairly reasonable chance that they won't keep a clean sheet until next season so I couldn't have Lloris.

  21. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Don't all laugh at me here but..

    Ihenacho captain? His stats are great, West Ham haven't been that good defensively as of late. No particular stand out option this week so could be a good week to go a bit different

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No city player worth the risk?

      What about salah/jota?

      1. Bury94
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Can't afford Salah and not gonna get Jota this week as I'm not sure he plays this weekend. Gundogan is an option but I like Nacho as a punt tbh!

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          I’d rather risk gundo tbh but I can see the appeal

          Maddison is a new dimension

    2. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Going with Ings for the same reason

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

      Not a mad call

      Haven’t ruled out Lingz - Leicester have been pretty moderate themselves.

    Forster Watkins Ayling Tierney

    1. fc_skrald

      Looks good. Maybe play Tierney?

  23. fc_skrald
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I got Lucky with Pereira in for Gündogan last gw. Should I keep and play him now? Think I could save the transfer:

    Martínez
    Cancelo, Digne, Lowton
    Pereira(VC) , Salah(C) , Fernandes, Gündogan, Mount
    Antonio, Kane

    McGill, Bamford, Shaw, Struijk
    1 free transfer, 1.7 million in the bank

    1. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years

      Doubt Antonio is gonna play

      1. fc_skrald
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        If he is out Nachos could come in but not sure yet.

          Yes

    3. FPL_Motty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I'm probably ditching kdb for salah... Just seems pretty likely KDB isnt risked against leeds. Last time they played, Leeds pressure made KDB spend most of his time tracking and tackling (he made most tackles), does Pep really want KDB being run ragged before Dortmund next week? I brought KDB in on my WC last week with this fixture in mind but sometimes have to accept I've made a mistake and it wil be pretty pointless having 12m on the bench

    Martinez
