Dream Team bosses in need of difference-makers should consider impressive Wolves players


WOLVES are finishing the season in fine style.

A 4-2 win over Tottenham on Sunday means Vitor Pereira’s side have taken the maximum of 12 points from their last four Premier League games.

Wolves remain 16th in the table as the campaign as a whole has been a disappointing one but Dream Team managers should monitor the form table closely at all times.

No team has taken more points from their last five league games than the Black Country club.

This fact alone should prompt gaffers to consider the options available to them from Molineux.

Jorgen Strand Larsen (£3.6m) is among the game’s most in-form strikers at present having notched 46 points across his last four outings.

This fruitful run has featured five goals at a rate of one every 67.6 minutes.

The Norwegian forward has impressed in his first campaign on English soil with 12 league goals to his name in total.

Elsewhere, Rayan Ait-Nouri (£4.2m) is statistically the most in-form defender in Dream Team right now.

The Algeria international scored one goal and assisted another against Spurs for a 16-point return last time out.

More broadly, he’s amassed 62 points in his last eight appearances.

This prosperous spell has catapulted him up the rankings – he’s now 11th among assets in his position.

Ait-Nouri is categorised as a defender but his actual role on the pitch resembles that of a midfielder.

His attacking attributes have allowed him to register 11 goal involvements this season.

Only Crystal Palace’s Daniel Munoz (£5.4m) boasts a higher tally among defenders at the time of writing.

Most intriguing is Matheus Cunha (£5.3m).

The Brazilian forward returned from suspension as a second-half substitute against Spurs and marked the occasion with a goal, his 16th of the campaign in all competitions.

The 25-year-old has irked more than a few Wolves supporters in recent times as he has been publicly open to a transfer away from the club, with some ill-advised social media activity thrown in for good measure.

But Cunha’s talent is undeniable, as evidenced by the Dream Team Stats Centre.

Cunha’s average of 8.4 is only bettered by three players in the whole game: Mohamed Salah (£7.2m), Erling Haaland (£7.8m) and Bukayo Saka (£6.5m).

That he is rubbing shoulders with players of such calibre is mightily impressive given Wolves have spent most of the campaign one or two places above the relegation zone.

Cunha ranks among the top five forwards for goals, shots on target, big chances created, tackles and bonus points!

Wolves have just six league fixtures remaining but with Manchester United and Leicester up next, there may be an opening for one or two of their best performers in a competitive XI.

With just a few Gameweeks remaining, there must be some Dream Team bosses willing to take a punt on some lowly-owned difference-makers.

Cunha is the most popular Wolves player right now but he appears in just 1.6% of teams.
