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.

    Anyone notice last night Mane didnt even congratulate Salah after he scored. He just stood still, looked around and waited for other players to celebrate with him. Something not right between them.

      Interesting point, didnt spot that. They've never really been good friends though, never seem to congratulate each other much other than a high five even when theyve been at their peaks, so I'm not sure if it shows somethings different or how it's always been

        If you Google there's lots of pics of them hugging back in 2018. They were always the first to celebrate with each other but now both players hold back.

        Jota seems to get service from both Mane and Salah so he might benefit from this rift.

      It happens in all relationships. Don't fret.

        I'm not fretting I'm posting an observation to see if anyone else noticed the same. If that offends you, my apologies.

        You said it happens in all relationships. So based on your logic Kane and Son will fall out 🙂 Genius!

      Mane doesn't look a happy man right now. I thought he was poor right now and v Arsenal. Salah, playing good not at top of game but nonstop working for the team. Sets a great example. Mane too much giving ball away, looking for frees and whinging. Prob be better mates with Salah if he was in good form.

    Has Che Adams lost his spot?

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

      never starts when Ings is fit, i've done him out for Iheanacho

    On my WC and in a conundrum between KdB and Salah.

    Getting Salah in means downgrading either Ederson or Reguilon which I’m not keen on.

    Do we think Kev is very unlikely to feature this weekend?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I would go Salah and get rid of reg. Spurs def is not that tight.

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Liverpool need 4th spot.

    3. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      De bruyne won't play at the weekend. I think Salah is the clear choice form the 2 of them

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

      I’ve got KDB so I’m going to keep and Captain him but I probably wouldn’t get him in. Nothing more frustrating than transferring in a player that gets benched especially when a blank is on the horizon. However, if he does play I see a haul coming, maybe some assists off set plays since Leeds are weak there especially, so dunno lol

      1. No Kane No Gain
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        KDB won’t play more than a cameo at best this week

  4. King of Kings.
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Can you have a look at my WC team and make any suggestions please lads?

    Mendy, Forster
    TAA, Shaw, Rudiger, Dias, Amartey
    Bruno, Salah, Jota, Son, Lingard
    Kane, Nacho, Davies

    I'm a bit worried I don't have great bench cover in general and for GW33. I'll look to roll next weeks transfer and have options for GW33. I'll probably get rid of Dias that week.

      Dropping Son will save you some cash

  5. Manumana
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Sell
    A. Cresswell
    Or
    B. Cancelo (have Stones)
    For TAA

    Thank guys

    On WC sold son last night hoping to buy him back today for 0.1m less. Doesn't look like he is going to drop now though 🙁

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      So very very sorry for your 0.1m loss.

    Thoughts on raph cresswell to rudiger jota for free? 2ft 0.2itb

    Areola
    Cresswell stones shaw
    Salah Bruno son gundo raph
    Kane bamford

    Martinez targett watkins veltman

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Good move. More CS potential and potentially more points from Jota than Raph for next few. I'm thinking of getting Alonso back, if he misses one or two the bench will sub.

    2. Abra Dubravka
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Both transfers could come back to haunt you. High risk

    3. FantasyClub
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I honestly don’t see Chelsea keeping a clean sheet against either CRY or BHA

  8. Abra Dubravka
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    On WC:
    A) KDB and Davis (bench Davis and play Raphinha)
    B) one week punt on Torres and Jesus (bench Raph)

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Would you captain any?
      Probably B if you think Torres starts, A if you’ll captain KDB

      1. Abra Dubravka
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Only dare risk KDB but think he may be rested

    Good morning one and all!!! A bit if advice here would be lovey, I’m 36 points ahead in my mini league and every one below has Martinez and I have Martinez and Areola, do I be sensible and play Martinez to block them!? Or play Areola?? Fulham obviously have the best chance of a clean sheet but Areola hardly makes and saves maybe 1 or 2 so if they get a cleanie he generally gets only 6, whereas Martinez‘should’ make a handsome amount of saves but unlikely to get a clean sheet, what do people advise in my position???
    Thankyou all!!

    1. Quan MisTaka
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Areola for me

    2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      play areola

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers gents!! Will go for Areola!!

    3. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Martinez fixtures horrendous

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Agreed mate!! Only reason why I’m considering to play him is to block the rest of my mini league below, will go Areola tho I think

  10. Quan MisTaka
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Best defender under 4.4m?

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Define best.

      Most points? Most nailed? Do you want a guaranteed starter who can ensure a couple of points if he is called upon, or do you want someone you might actually start?

      1. Quan MisTaka
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I want a starter who will get me a few points if my other players are benched or have a horrible fixture. Holding would be ideal but he seems like a risk. Although phillips could be the one then

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Most probably Cooper, Veltman, or Burnley one. It’s slim pickings, im having this problem also. Maybe Veltman cause he plays for the best defense but fixtures aren’t great, Burnley have mixed fixtures, and Cooper you wouldn’t want to play for the next 3 weeks so maybe not worth it for him

      1. Quan MisTaka
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Was on veltman but really dont like his fixtures. Tempted by holding but his starts were a risk. Forgot about phillips although he does take up a liverpool slot...

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Under? I think Veltman is just 4.4.

    4. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I like Holding as long as David Luiz is injured, Phillips at 4m also good pick as he should play.

      1. Quan MisTaka
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Phillips. Totally forgot about him cheers

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

      phillips

    6. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Holding or Philips I guess

  11. Thomas Magnum
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Those on WC, or anyone at all. Are you planning to or would you keep Dias (no other city defender) in your sides from here on out?

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Tempted to keep Dias due to nailed-ness. Issue is you end up wanting strong defenders to come in in his place which means spending more to cover a potential benching (despite his ever presence when fit so far)

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

      If I can afford him, I would keep but I'm not able to do so at the moment.

    3. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah Dias is the one City lad im keeping, seems immune to rotation

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

      TAA will be my premium defender

    5. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I think City are too risky bar Ederson. Could have a better team if we could be sure of starts but right now better concentrate on other 19 teams

    6. Oh Mane Mane
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yes I'm on WC and will be keeping Dias, Got him for £5.5M and still think he is the most nailed MC Defender.

    7. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Thanks all, considering him or Ederson. He is cheaper as I have had him for since he was 5.5 but Ederson is more nailed, Dias is easier to bench though come gameweek 33 than Ederson is...

  12. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Have a WC but thinking of saving.
    Liverpool have not won at home since December (PL) so not sure decimating my team to get Pool players in is worth it.

  13. dbeck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    best Man City player for a one week punt?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Tevez

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        That buck gets around!

    2. Quan MisTaka
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Jesus is my thinking

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

        yeah, perhaps sterling, didnt play last night and didnt start last pl game

        1. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Or the last two before that.

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

      Jesus

    4. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      maybe Ferran Torres or Jesus?

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Or Sterling/ Kun I guess lol

    5. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Sterling
      Kun
      Torres

      In this order

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

        so sterling on WC, move to Son for next week. Hate booking in transfer but i need to look for chunk rises

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

      Torres

    7. KAALI_DAAL
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Sterling

  14. dshv
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    On WC

    1. Dias and neto
    2. Shaw and lingz

    1. Oh Mane Mane
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Tough one, I'm on WC and currently have Dias, Shaw and Lingz

      Out of them options I'd go for 2 - Shaw & Lingz

    2. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      1

  15. Oh Mane Mane
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Thoughts on Antonio to Wood if confirmed injured?

    Wood home to Newcastle this week, other 2 strikers will be Kane and Nacho so can easily go to 3-5-2 and bench Wood in the tougher games.

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Wood is a good plan imo

  16. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Have this in defense. Which defender to add for 4.9 or below?

    Martinez
    Stones Rudiger Coady Struijk XX

    1. Oh Mane Mane
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Phillips? 4.0M and looks nailed, free up some good funds for elsewhere too. Holding at £4.2M another option...

  17. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Just watched the highlights of Liverpool Real. First half was just a Trent bloopers reel. Mixed feelings since he's been in my team for quite some time and finally got me good points last week. A good option on a WC, but I'd certainly check if there were better ways to spend the money if I had unlimited transfers.

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      In 2 minds whether TAA is just done for the season both mentally and physically. Or if that game will be a turning point and he turns it on from here on out and makes it look crazy for Southgate to not start him come summer

  18. Shatner's Bassoon
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Nacho owners / WCers ... would you rather have Vardy if money was no option? Seems like a fair few are suggesting not which surprises me.

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

      I would prefer Vardyif money wasnt an issue

    2. Oh Mane Mane
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Would rather have Vardy if money no issue, i have Nacho myself but can't stretch to Vardy.

  20. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Shocking week, need to change it up no chips left?

    Was holding Bale for the DGW but that is failing, should I get rid & a defender for Salah?

    Mendy,
    Rüdiger, Shaw, Dias,
    Son, Bale, Lingz, Jota, Bruno,
    Kane, Bamford,

    Martinez, Cresswell, Watkins, Dallas,

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

      I don't think you need Salah - would rather Maddison or Neto

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Could even do Bale > Sterling ?

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

          Punty, but could pay off instantly

  21. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    How's she looking?

    Patricio
    TAA, Azpi, Dias
    Gundo, Bruno, Jota, Son
    Kane, Nacho, Laca

    Forster Maddison, Coady, Cresswell

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not sure on Creswell since Lingz & now Matsu playing he rarely get forward?

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

        To be honest I don't really know who else I'd have other than Shaw, but even then fixtures not great

    2. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Interesting. Double wolves defence is brave, and going forward the defence looks expensive. Elsewhere, nice picks

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

        Would likely downgrade one of the 5+ defenders, but there's really not that much on offer elsewhere

        One other option would be Holding, Neto and Vardy in place of TAA, Maddison and Nacho

  22. Vovhund
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Best duo for the run-in?:

    A) Salah + Ihenacho
    B) Jota + Vardy

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

      B

  23. TheBiffas
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    WC team for next week

    Leno
    TAA - Coady - Rudiger
    Salah (c) - Jota - Bruno - Son - Lingard
    Kane - Iheanacho

    Forster - Reguilon - Mitchell - Davis

  24. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Am I mad in doing Bamford to Kun Aguero (C) for -4?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      yes. but i envy your bravery

  25. Al-Chemy
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Worth a hit to get Lingard in? Or hold off and hope Lingard is quiet for once?

    Raphina and Sanchez -> Lingard and Forster

    Have Martinez as well so if Forster doesn't play he can come in this weekend.

  26. DavvaMC

    Hi Guys

    What do you think on the below WC team would love to get your feedback.

    Not sure if defence is to expensive and if I should swap Neto to Raphina?

    Mendy

    Rudiger | TAA | Dias

    Lingard | Neto | Son | Salah | Jota

    Iheanacho | Kane

    Forster | Shaw | Veltman | Antonio

    Any changes you think I could make? Finding it really difficult 🙂

    I have 1.1 Mil in the bank!

    Thanks

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

      Salah and Jota seems overkill despite fixtures - I would try and play the doubles a bit more

      1. DavvaMC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years

    Highlights watch: Really annoyed that Bellingham had his certain-goal denied last night. How the ref was so certain of a foul where there wasn't one that he blew up immediately... Really poor.

    sounds stupid on paper, any WC looking at Johnstone in goal? WBA has picked up defensively and he should be in save points?

    Other i am look at is Mendy (low ceiling) or Leno (feel meh)
