Wolverhampton defender Matthew James Doherty's performance this season has been stunning as Wolves have conceded only six goals in eight games. He scored a total score of 49 fantasy points for the first eight games and is higher than many top defenders such as Walker, Trippier, Gomez. His price is only £4.9 million which is much less than his big-name counterparts and his presence in the team could be vital in the defense also.
