Wolverhampton Wanderers have one of the best runs of fixtures in the division from Gameweek 4 onwards, stretching right the way through to Gameweek 14.
For Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers who prioritise fixtures over form, and especially for those on a Wildcard, Wolvesβ defensive and attacking options are seriously worth considering.
Wolves sit top of our Season Ticker over the next 11 Gameweeks.
A manager losing their first three league matches in charge of a club is usually a cause for alarm but it doesnβt tell the full story here, as Bruno Lage has weirdly generated much optimism about his Wolves side after some well-rounded displays.
πΈ Trent Alexander-Arnold made it 7.75 points per match in his last 12 appearances with a double-digit haul against Burnley.

πΈ Kostas Tsimikas followed suit with an 11-point return but the presence of the fit-again Andrew Robertson on the Liverpool bench does perhaps signal that the budget defenderβs run in the side could be coming to an end.

πΈ Brentford and Liverpool are the only two sides with two Premier League clean sheets to their names so far this season. The Bees have allowed just one big chance in 2021/22 to date.
π£οΈ | Thomas Tuchel on Romelu Lukaku: "The week was a heavy load for him because he was in the group with the late starters from our guys. We are hoping that he is on the pitch for Sunday and things look like it."
π£οΈ | Tuchel on Trevoh Chalobah: "I think it's very logical that he stays with us and he will be looking for his chance here. Trevoh is the guy that we absolutely want to keep."
π₯ | Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette tested positive for Covid-19 ahead of GW1. Lacazette remains out but Aubameyang has since returned a negative test and will return to training to be assessed ahead of Sunday.
π₯ | Alex Runarsson and Willian also tested positive for Covid-19 ahead of the Brentford game. Runarsson remains sidelined, while Willian's fitness will be monitored ahead of the Chelsea match.
π₯ | Gabriel Magalhaes (knee) and Thomas Partey (ankle) are aiming to be back in training by the end of this month, with Eddie Nketiah (knee) pencilled in for an early September comeback.
π£οΈ | Nuno on Kane: "He trained today [Thurs] with the group of players that stayed in England. He trained well and he is going to train tomorrow and when we return he will join all the players and work as the group and Harry in it."
π£οΈ | Nuno: "We need to be patient with all the [new] players. When a player changes country we need to realise that we have to support him. But honestly, I think with the quality and talent that Romero has, his adaptation will be very fast."
