Jonny Otto - Active on both ends in draw Jonny had one off-target shot, sent in three crosses (one accurate), made four tackles (three won) and three clearances and helped his side to keep a clean sheet during Saturday's...

Impact Jonny had a decent outing on both sides of the pitch, making some occasional contributions on offense while being almost flawless defensively as the opposition couldn't generate anything from his flank. The right-back apparently has the edge over Nelson Semedo in the competition for a starting spot right now but this will be a fight to watch closely during the entire campaign.

Max Kilman - Solid performance in draw Kliman made four clearances and helped his side to keep a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw against Fulham.

Impact Kliman didn't have eye-popping numbers but was still very solid, leading all players in clearances and having the edge against the dangerous Aleksandar Mitrovic. With 10 clearances over the first two matches of the campaign, Kliman should once again being a great source of fantasy numbers all season long.

Hwang Hee-chan - Quiet performance in draw Hwang had two shots (one on target), made two tackles (one won) and suffered two fouls during Saturday's scoreless draw against Fulham.

Impact Hwang had a great chance to open the scoring during the first half but was largely held in check by opposing defenders and that led him to be subbed off before the hour mark. With Raul Jimenez (knee) still out for about a month, Hwang will probably have more chances to lead his side's attack. Up next for him is Saturday's visit to Tottenham.

Pedro Neto - Sends in nine crosses in draw Neto created one chance, sent in nine inaccurate crosses and suffered two fouls during Saturday's scoreless draw against Fulham.

Impact Neto was involved in a couple of dangerous plays during the first half but his production dipped a lot during the final frame and that ultimately led him to be subbed off after 79 minutes. The winger finished the last campaign strong and started this one as the first choice at the left flank but will have to play better to remain in the lineup.

Jose Sa - Saves PK in draw Sa made three saves, including a penalty, and kept a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw against Fulham.

Impact Sa didn't have any work during the first two thirds of the match but still ended up as the hero for Wolves. In the 81st minute, the goalkeeper stopped Aleksandar Mitrovic's penalty shot to preserve the draw and guarantee his side the first point of the season. Sa will need to be at his best once again during next Saturday's visit to Tottenham and their high-octane attack.

Nelson Semedo - Comes back in draw Semedo (hamstring) logged 12 minutes off the bench during Saturday's scoreless draw with Fulham.

Adama Traore - Comes off bench in draw Traore logged 11 minutes off the bench during Saturday's scoreless draw with Fulham.

Impact Traore had dealt with a hamstring injury that prevented him from playing in the opener against Leeds United and starting in this game. Now that he's closer to full fitness, look for Traore to make a major impact with his speed but consistent appearances are hard given his notorious lack of attacking efficiency.

Impact Traore started 10 of his 20 outings for the club last season in which he generated 39 crosses (nine accurate), one goal on 23 shots (five on target) and 18 chances created.

Nelson Semedo - Continuing to improve fitness Semedo (hamstring) is making progress in his recovery but won't be ready to play versus Fulham on Saturday.

Impact Semedo started 23 of the club's first 25 matches last season before injuries sidelined limited him to just two outings down the stretch. In the meantime, Morgan Gibbs-White should continue to feature in the starting XI and could even maintain his place in the squad once Semedo is available to play.

Joao Moutinho - Still recovering from injury Moutinho (foot) continues to work his way back from injury and won't be available versus Fulham on Saturday.

Impact Moutinho is poised to miss his second consecutive contest due to his lingering foot problem, with no clear timeline for his return to the pitch. Whenever the midfielder is given the green light to play, he should be a mainstay in the starting XI considering he featured in all but one of his 35 outings for the club last season.

Goncalo Guedes' potential remains untapped Once billed as 'the new Ronaldo', the Portuguese forward's career has meandered and his talent has manifested in fits in starts

AUGUST 9, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Goncalo Guedes - Moving to Wolves Guedes has completed a transfer to Wolverhampton on a five-year deal away from Valencia.

Guedes finished with 11 goals and six assists for Valencia in 2021/22, totaling 40 goals and 32 assists over five seasons with the Spanish club. He gives Wolves yet another Portuguese piece and figures to immediately fight for minutes, likely hurting the chances of Morgan Gibbs-White and even someone like Hwang Hee-Chan to see consistent time.

Hwang Hee-chan - Has preseason knock Hee-Chan had a muscular issue around his hip but has returned to training, team doctor Rob Chakraverty announced Tuesday.

Impact Hee-Chan doesn't need to be considered hurt, though missing a little time in preseason could set his fitness back for a full debut when the season begins Aug. 6 against Leeds United. Still, he's likely to play plenty due to injuries to Raul Jimenez (groin, knee). With five goals and one assist in his first EPL campaign for Wolves, Hee-Chan was able to get involved but surely has to be more productive.
