Wolves £224.4m best starting XI based purely on player market values

A 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest is how Wolves went in to the international break, and now there's a hope that they can get their first win. They faced Arsenal and Chelsea, two tough opponents in their first two games, and that 6-2 defeat at home to Chelsea was definitely a game which left many disappointed.

Newcastle United come in to the game having defeated Spurs at St James Park. Alexander Isak scored late on to help the Magpies to their second win of the season, putting them in fifth.

The transfer window shut before both side's fixtures, but this is the first match for many clubs in which some of their deadline day signings could feature. Andre made his debut having joined from Fluminense for £21m, and having put in a good display for Brazil last week, it's hoped he'll soon force his way in to the starting 11.

Gary O’Neil’s got some injuries to contend with but thankfully they shouldn’t be too damaging ahead of Sunday. In an ideal world, you’d have all your players available at your disposal. The summer window has now shut, and so TransferMarkt in a 4-2-3-1 formation has put together a Wolves XI which consists of their most valuable players.

It does include Andre playing at centre-back, when you’d expect him to play in midfield, but they have also found a way to incorporate an attack of Matheus Cunha, Jorgen Strand Larsen and Hwang hee-chan.

Carlos Forbs has a TransferMarkt value of £6.4m, and so that only earns him a place on the bench. The starting XI altogether has a value of £224.4m, which isn’t bad at all.
