They don’t play any of the Last season’s Top 8 and play all three promoted sides during this run.

Draft Fantasy GW9 Best Punts- Wissa

Wissa has returned from injury and played 25 minutes as a substitute vs Manchester United in GW8. If you are looking for a proven forward in your roster with good fixtures, Get on the Wissa train. There can’t be a better entry point than a fixture vs Ipswich(H). Before his injured, Wissa got 3 goals, 1 assist from 4 games despite playing Liverpool and Manchester City. His underlying numbers were also excellent during that time- 9 Shots, 4 Big Chances, 2.45 xG and 4 Chances created.

  • Spurs- 14
  • Liverpool- 15
  • Arsenal – 16

Moreno is nailed on to start as the left wingback and has also good attacking threat as seen with Villa last season where he registered 0.20 xGI per 90 minutes last season which are excellent numbers for a defender.

Iliman Ndiaye

Draft Fantasy GW9 Best Punts- Ndiaye

Ndiaye scored last week in the 0-2 win over Ipswich Town making it 2 goals from the last 4 games. Even though Fulham is a slightly tougher fixture this week, Everton play Southampton in GW10. Considering Ndiaye has scored already against both the Promoted sides in Leicester and Ipswich, don’t be surprised if Ndiaye hauls next week vs Southampton. It’s better to get him in early this week- That’s what Draft Fantasy is all about, Getting in the planning done on these very low-rostered picks.

But as mentioned earlier they have had the most difficult run of games facing all the big sides like Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Newcastle. The upcoming fixture run looks great for Wolves- Brighton(A), Palace(H), Southampton(H), Fulham(A), Bournemouth(H), Everton(A), West Ham(A), Ipswich(H), Leicester(A) where there will be clean sheet for sure.

Attack Rank(xG) of next 9 opponents of Wolves:
