Ings has consistently outperformed his expected stats. However, given the eye test this is expected. He takes on and scored shots most ST won’t.

One statistic I look at a lot is Goal Involvement.
This is the percentage of goals their team scored that are involved in when on the pitch.
GW1-38
Ings = 47%
Jimenez = 47%
GW30-38
Ings = 50%
Jimenez = 50%
This just shows it’s so hard to chose between them.

If we consider the fixtures of the two teams.
Southampton = average difficulty of 2.5 rating
Wolves = 2.75 average fixture difficulty rating
Very little to split the two sides in terms of fixtures. Both have a high potential for returns.

The final thing worth noting is consistency.
2019/20 points per appearance
= 5.21 from 38 apps.
= 5.11 from 38 apps.
2018/19 points per appearance
= 3.75 from 24 apps.
= 4.76 from 38 apps.
Jimenez has been more consistent than Ings with a stronger 218/19 season.

Overall Jimenez is the safer option here
He returns equal with his xG
He has returned strongly for two seasons now.
However Ings has a higher ceiling
Outperforms xG and scored chances he shouldn’t
Stronger opening few fixtures

From what I’ve seen above it depends on team structure and how much of a risk you want to take.
The big question is whether Ings numbers are sustainable.
Looking at it I predict some regression but a strong season for Ings
If I had to chose between the two I’d go Danny Ings
