With the FPL deadline approaching, wolves.co.uk looks at the talking points from the last and next Old Gold fixtures.
Last time out…
Wolves | Matheus Cunha | £5.5m
No player on the pitch had more shots on goal than Matheus Cunha on Monday evening. The Brazilian called Andre Onana into action with a low curling shot and hit the post, while remaining a constant threat, carrying the Old Gold up the pitch before laying others in. Selected by 0.4% of managers, Cunha could be a clever pick.

Man United | Raphael Varane | £5m
Despite Wolves’ impressive showing against United’s attackers, it was defender Raphael Varane who broke their resolve with the only goal. The Frenchman became the top scoring player on the game with 14 points, having also helped United to a clean sheet and scooped two bonus points.
This week…
Wolves | Nelson Semedo | £4.5m
Wolves kept clean sheets in four of their last five Molineux fixtures last season and Nelson Semedo featured in all of them. The Portuguese led the way for tackles and interceptions from the Wolves defenders on Monday evening. All four of Gary O’Neil’s back line from Monday night cost just £4.5m.
Brighton | Pervis Estupinan | £5.1m
For Saturday’s visitors to Molineux, nobody has been selected in more teams than full-back Pervis Estupinan. The Ecuadorian has been selected in 55% of FPL teams this year, after a successful season of clean sheets and goal contributions last year. Estupinan began with an assist in Brighton’s opening day, bringing in seven points.
