Player to Target: Nélson Semedo

Wolves and Semedo were really impressive against Watford in Gameweek 4. Semedo recorded these attacking stats in the game against Watford: xG of 0.71,xA of 0.13, which makes for a combined xGi of 0.84.

That shows he was getting into the right positions at the right time during the game. He also had 70 touches in the win over Watford – out of which 30 were in the final third – this shows how ultra attacking he was and certainly the player to target.

Player to Avoid: Trincão

Trincão is priced as low as 5.9m and was one of the heavily transferred-in attacking players from Wolves last week, but last game Trincão was subbed off for Podence on the 62nd-minute mark, which shows the rotation risk that Trincão has. I’m not sure about his minutes in the future along with this Gameweek as Podence is the first-choice winger.
