Wolves were one of the best defensive teams in the 2019-20 Premier League as was evident in their tally of 13 clean sheets. They were the fourth-best defence in the league with an 'expected goals against' of 37.39.

Having one of Wolves' defenders is a must-have in one's FPL team, given their defensive stability and attacking potential. With Wolves' first-choice left wing-back option Jonny out with an anterior cruciate ligament injury, the £4.5 million defender Ruben Vinagre take up that position next season.

Vinagre offers great value and is a whole £1.5 million cheaper than Matt Doherty at right wing-back. Along with Wolves' defensive solidity, Vinagre also offers attacking threat down the left-wing and could be one of the players to watch out for next season.

#2: Christian Pulisic (Midfielder): £8.5 million

Christian Pulisic will be injured for the start of the 2020-21 Premier League season due to the injury he suffered in Chelsea's FA Cup final defeat against Arsenal.

However, he is set to be a key figure for Chelsea in his second season in the competition. Pulisic is massively underpriced in the FPL and is a bargain at only £8.5 million.

Pulisic was injured for almost half the season in 2019-20, but he managed to bag 127 points and almost got into double figures in the FPL for both assists and goals.

He is also a player who passes the eye test and looks incredibly dangerous in front of goal and is someone who always turns up in the box. Given that he is almost £1 million cheaper than Timo Werner who is not yet proven himself in the Premier League, Pulisic is a steal for FPL managers.

Pulisic has an incredibly high shot volume as well as chances created, and he is likely to be in and among the points next season.

#1: Raul Jimenez (Forward): £8.5 million

The most underpriced player in the FPL game this season is Raul Jimenez. He managed 17 goals and seven assists last season in the FPL and a stunning 37 goals and assists in all competitions last season.

Jimenez scored 194 FPL points last season, the fourth-most for any forward, and it is astonishing his price is yet only £8.5 million. Last season, he got 39 points more than Roberto Firmino who is £1 million more expensive than him. Jimenez is also 76 points more than Lacazette who is at the same price as the Mexican.

Raul Jimenez seemed to be performing in line with his 'expected goals' as he managed an xG of 16.51 and an xA of 7.23, which indicates that he is likely to continue performing at this high level. Jimenez is also on penalties and is the main focal point for the Wolves team, which is why he should be one of the first names on your FPL team at that price.
