Jonny Otto - Leaves early in cup match Jonny was replaced due to injury after 82 minutes of Wednesday's 1-0 win over Leeds United in the League Cup, according to Liam Keen of the Express and Star.

Impact Jonny has been in and out of the team in recent weeks but an injury would be more notable for someone who has started in 11 of his 12 appearances. With Nelson Semedo and Hugo Bueno available, Jonny may not start in Saturday's match against Arsenal regardless of his fitness.

Jose Sa - Five stops in defeat Sa grabbed five saves (three goals conceded) during Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion.

Impact This was a tough fantasy outing for both keepers, as Brighton threatened early and often in this one. In the end, Sa's five saves fell just short of earning any sort of result for a rather desperate Wolves outfit. Until his squad get back on track, it's going to be difficult to trust Sa within league play.

Boubacar Traore - Opens season assist account Traore logged one assist on one cross (zero accurate) during Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion. He also made two interceptions and two tackles (zero won).

Impact Traore delivered an excellent through ball during the 12th minute, and Goncalo Guedes got in behind Seagulls' back line for the second goal of the match. The assist represents the young midfielder's first of the league season across seven appearances (three starts), and he demonstrated nice energy throughout 89 minutes in this contest.

Nathan Collins - Six clearances, shown yellow Collins logged one tackle (one won), made six clearances and added one interception during Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion.

Impact Collins was also shown yellow once, his second of the EPL campaign. His six clearances were a team-high but not enough to keep a potent Seagulls attack off the board to the tune of three goals. Through 11 league starts this season, the defender is averaging about one tackle, one interception and three clearances per match.

Brighton beats 10-man Wolves 3-2 on late goal by Gross

Ruben Neves - Converts another PK in loss Neves scored a goal on four shots (one on target), sent in two crosses and created one chance during Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion. He also made three tackles (...

Impact Neves tallied his second goal in as many games from the penalty spot following a Lewis Dunk hand ball within the area. His four shots also paced Wolves for the contest. He's a rather consistent, albeit unexciting option within the middle of the pitch and receives a considerable boost in value whenever Wolves are awarded a spot kick.

Goncalo Guedes - Opens season account in loss Guedes scored a goal on two shots (two on target), created two chances on five crosses (one accurate) and added three corners during Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albi...

Impact Guedes was back in the starting XI with Diego Costa suspended for a red card and Raul Jimenez still working back to fitness. He certainly made the most of the opportunity, netting the second goal of the match during the 12th minute. The stumbling finish was keyed by a Boubacar Traore through ball and briefly pulled Wolves even at 1-1. The goal is the attacker's first of the EPL season to go with one assist across 11 appearances (seven starts).

Nelson Semedo - Sent off in first half Semedo was sent off in the first half of Saturday's match with Brighton. Prior to being sent off, he won one tackle and made two clearances.

Impact Semedo was shown a straight red card for denying a goal scoring opportunity in first half stoppage time. Accordingly, he will miss Wolves' final match ahead of the World Cup with Arsenal due to suspension. All in all, it was just a disastrous outing for the wing back, who also was beaten by Kaoru Mitoma just before half time for an equalizing goal. Potential replacement options include Rayan Ait-Nouri and Hugo Bueno.

Toti Gomes - Still sidelined Gomes (strain) will not be available against Brighton on Saturday, per Alex Dicken of BirminghamLive.

Impact Gomes will be sidelined for his fourth consecutive contest and likely not be an option until after the World Cup break at this point. Even once cleared to play, the central defender will be hard-pressed to secure a spot in the starting XI and figures to be a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

Raul Jimenez - Out through World Cup Jimenez (groin) is not expected to return before the World Cup break. Manager Steve Davis told reporters, "I've watched him training in one-to-ones. I spoke to him, he said he's pr...

Impact Jimenez last got onto the pitch for Wolves against AFC Bournemouth on Aug. 31, a stretch of eight contests on the shelf. Once restored to the squad, Jimenez should be in contention for a spot in the starting XI and could offer top-end fantasy value given his offensive upside.

Hugo Bueno - Extends contract with Wolves Bueno has signed a four-year contract extension with Wolverhampton that includes an option to further extend for an additional 12 months, the club announced Wednesday.

Impact Bueno has started each of Wolves' last three games at left-back having only made his senior Premier League debut in mid-October. The 20-year-old is still competing with the more experienced Rayan Ait-Nouri for the position in the long term, but he has now signed on with the club through the 2025/26 campaign at least.

Raul Jimenez - Back with team Jimenez (groin) returned to group training with Wolverhampton on Tuesday ahead of the weekend clash against Brighton.

Impact Jimenez has been out since August with a groin strain, but he is making progress with his recovery as his return to the squad shows. Wolves have three games remaining before the World Cup break -- including a Carabao Cup tie next week -- so Jimenez will hope to be able to make it on to the pitch and work up his match fitness before the tournament in Qatar begins.

His form has been solid of late with nine chances created, 12 crosses (four accurate) and 10 tackles (six won) in the last five matches.

Nelson Semedo - Tallies first assist on campaign Semedo assisted to go with five tackles (four won) in Saturday's 1-1 tie against Brentford.

Impact Semedo had an upstanding performance and his best of the season with a goal contribution and a fantastic defensive performance. The Wolves, however, favor Jonny in the right back position over the Portuguese defender. When featured, he puts up good performances with an assist, 25 tackles (19 won) and 14 clearances in 11 appearances (six starts) thus far.

The Portuguese's form the past few contests has not been the best with 10 goals allowed with 10 saves in the last five matches. The next game will be tough task for the 29-year-old with a visit from Brighton on Nov 5, who have scored 18 goals in the last 10 matches.
