Can Wolves’ FPL assets perform as well in 2019/20?

3,383 Comments
Share

Wolverhampton Wanderers were one of the big success stories of last season, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s impressive side finishing seventh in their first Premier League campaign in six years.

The West Midlands club offered Fantasy managers some notable bargain buys, with Matt Doherty (£6.0m), Diogo Jota (£6.5m) and Raul Jimenez (£7.5m) the three stand-out assets.

Doherty, Jimenez and several others have been handed price rises in Fantasy Premier League this summer, however, and aren’t quite the cut-price gems they were 12 months ago.

Do Wolves players still appeal, then, going into 2019/20?

Our 20th and final Numbers Game piece looks at Wanderers’ underlying data from last season to see if the numbers of 2018/19 can be repeated in the upcoming campaign.

    A) Wilson + Sterling (+0.5) (0.5 to do Shaw to Digne or Ings to King)
    Or
    B) Kane + KDB

    Midfield/strikers currently:
    Salah Martial Moura Perez
    Ings Greenwood

    Said this the other day, seeing a lot of unbalanced teams that are many hits or unplanned WCs away from reversing if things don't pan out.

    I'm boring and like to have my team balanced to the usual pricing template to start, allowing for easy swap outs over 1 FT

      Flexibility is valuable early on. It loses its value over time as the pool of players lessens.

      Try to avoid lots of early punts really.

      Eventually, the budget beasts will reveal themselves. Its more a case now of identifying them early and jumping on before it becomes a bandwagon.

    rate my uber defence rotation team

    this tactic worked very well last season until i changed it for no reason lol
    the point is to have a very strong front 7 while your defence does enough to get by. the defence will play favourable fixtures only

    pope
    taa / duffy / cathcart (guilburt / lund)
    salah / sterling / kdb / pulisic / perez
    wilson / wesley

    ps - my shift key is not working and i cba using the other one 😉

    RMT first draft:

    Salah Mane Sterling De Bruyne Kante
    Jota

    Subs: Heaton Lundstram Greenwood Wickham

    Gone for a power midfield. Subs and Rico are weak though. Mane and Kante also may not start this weekend?

      Almost identical to mine but I’m going VVD over TAA and having a rotating pair of 4.5’a as my 4th defender

          Consider having just 1 keeper so have 0.5 in the bank?

          That way if you need to you can do KDB & Jota/ King to Kane and 5.5 mid (nothing appeals at 5.0 so the extra 0.5 is key)

    Is it worth doing Robertson > VVD to afford a 4.5m bench defender (Montoya) OR keep Robertson and have Rico on the bench?
    Thanks.

      Dunk is probably safer but Montoya is playing as a wing back apparently

      The fact he's playing at all so close to the start of the season should be a bad sign
