Jose Sa - Four saves in draw Sa made four saves during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Chelsea.

Impact Sa made four saves Saturday as he kept the match competitive while Chelsea dominated. The keeper was beaten twice in quick succession by Romelu Lukaku, once from the penalty spot, but recovered quickly to keep that match at 2-0. In the end Wolves completed the comeback to draw 2-2, and Sa was left with a solid fantasy day. It's hard to see a way for him to have another favorable day against an absolutely dominant Manchester City team on Wednesday.

Romain Saiss - Comes off with knock Saiss conceded a penalty and came off with a knock during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Chelsea.

Impact Saiss gave away a penalty that proved crucial in the draw before coming off with a knock. The defender isn't a fantasy option in any way due to his role in central defense and his propensity for fouls. Saiss will hope to be fit for Wednesday's clash with Manchester City.

Chiquinho - Two assists off bench Chiquinho provided two assists on two chances created during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Chelsea.

Impact Chiquinho came off the bench for the final 20 minutes of Saturday's draw and sent in seven crosses, earning both assists in the comeback. The winger has yet to start a match for Wolves, but has three assists on four chances created in just 68 minutes on the pitch. That level of efficiency is entirely unsustainable, but could lead to more chance for Chiquinho next season.

Francisco Trincao - Scores off bench Trincao scored once on two shots (one on goal) off the bench during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Chelsea.

Impact Trincao came off the bench for the final 15 minutes of Saturday's draw and scored his second Premier League goal of the season. The forward has fallen out of the starting XI for the most part lately, something that has knocked his fantasy value down. Trincao will be a fringe play even if starting against Manchester City on Wednesday.

Conor Coady - Scores late goal Coady scored once on one shot during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Chelsea.

Impact Coady scored deep into stoppage time to secure the point for Wolves. The central defender is up to four goals on the season, though in reality he isn't much of a fantasy option. Next up for Coady is the toughest match of the season, taking on Manchester City on Wednesday.

Daniel Podence - Resumes training with squad Podence (foot) is training with the first team and could be in contention versus Chelsea on Saturday. Goalkeeping coach Tony Roberts told reporters, "Daniel has been doing a bit of...

Impact Podence has been unavailable for the Wolves' previous three clashes due to his foot problem but appears to be trending in the right direction. Still, given his extended layoff, the attacking midfielder may need to make a bench appearance or two before being fully fit to rejoin the starting XI.

Nelson Semedo - Out rest of season Semedo has confirmed via Instagram that he will miss the rest of the season with a hamstring injury suffered last weekend.

Impact It's another defensive injury for Wolves, as they close out the season. Fortunately for Wolves, Jonny is healthy and available to feature on the right flank the rest of the way. As for Semedo, it was a mostly successful campaign under the new manager outside of a couple injuries. He'll finish with no goals, one assist, 19 shots and 32 crosses from 25 starts, numbers that aren't much different from the prior campaign outside of him having 34 starts.

Joao Moutinho - Takes two shots in loss Moutinho took two shots and created two chances in Saturday's 3-0 defeat against Brighton. He also won one of three tackles in the match.

Impact Moutinho had some moments going forward on Saturday but it wasn't enough to earn a result against Brighton. Wolves have now lost three in a row in the Premier League, and he'll want to end that streak next weekend against third-placed Chelsea.

Pedro Neto - Takes three shots off bench Neto subbed into Saturday's match against Brighton at halftime, and he took three shots and created a chance in the 3-0 defeat.

Impact Neto injected some urgency to his side's attack upon his introduction into Saturday's game, but he couldn't find the breakthrough into Brighton's net. It's been eight games since his last Premier League start back on March 5, but this performance may have earned him another opportunity in the XI against Chelsea next weekend.

APRIL 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jose Sa - Concedes three goals against Brighton Sa made six saves but conceded three goals in Saturday's 3-0 defeat against Brighton.

Impact Sa was busy on Saturday and he was beaten by strikes from Alexis Mac Allister, Leandro Trossard and Yves Bissouma as his side lost its third consecutive Premier League game. Sa hasn't kept a clean sheet in about six weeks, and it won't get any easier next weekend against Chelsea, which have scored 68 goals in 33 matches this season.

Nelson Semedo - Comes off injured against Brighton Semedo was subbed out of Saturday's defeat in the 53rd minute after suffering an apparent hamstring injury. He took a shot, made a clearance and won one of two tackles in the match...

Impact Semedo had only just returned to the lineup last weekend after missing five games and the entirety of March with a hamstring injury, and it seems he may have re-aggravated the issue. Jonny replaced him on the right wing on Saturday and could do so again versus Chelsea next weekend if necessary.

Ruben Neves - Plays one half against Brighton Neves (knee) was subbed out at halftime of Saturday's defeat against Brighton as he continues to deal with a knee injury. He took a shot and won one of one tackles in the match bef...

Impact Neves was in the starting lineup for the first time since before the March international break on Saturday as a knee injury made him miss Wolves' last three games. He only lasted one half as he continues working his way back to full fitness.

Ruben Neves - In starting XI Saturday Neves (knee) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Brighton.

Impact Only a day ago Bruno Lage said Neves wasn't ready to return, but instead he's in the starting XI Saturday, likely with an injection in his knee. It's hard to see him being ready for a full 90 given a lack of training and a month on the sidelines, but he's a nice boost to the side, assuming he can be his usual self in the midfield.

Max Kilman - May miss rest of season Kilman may miss the rest of the season with an ankle injury suffered in training, according to manager Bruno Lage. "With Max, to be honest it will be hard for him to return. We hav...

Impact It's a tough injury for Kilman, who was having the best season of his career, starting 30 matches and producing 10 clean sheets (and a goal) on the Wolves back line. He took the spot of oft-injured Willy Boly and now that he's injured, Boly will return to that role to close the season.

Ruben Neves - Training, not ready to return Neves (knee) is working his way back to the pitch, according to manager Bruno Lage. "He trained yesterday, but today he didn't train. I think it will be hard after six weeks to be...

Impact Neves is at least getting some training in, which is a good sign with less than a month to go in the season. He probably won't be pushed back in the next two matches, but there's still an outside chance he could return to the side a couple weeks from now, as long as he can string together some training sessions.

APRIL 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Podence - Not ready to return Podence (foot) isn't ready for Saturday's match against Brighton, according to manager Bruno Lage.

Impact There have been minimal updates on Podence over the last month, which isn't a good sign, especially with a foot injury. He hasn't played since April 2 and a return date remains unknown, which means more time for Fabio Silva and Hee-Chan Hwang, among others.

APRIL 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Max Kilman - Out another match Kilman (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's match against Brighton, according to manager Bruno Lage.

Impact It's still unknown what the injury is for Kilman, but it'll force him into his second-straight absence. Willy Boly is more than an able backup, assuming he can stay healthy, while Kilman will hope to return before the season is over.

Pedro Neto - Continues bench role Neto has played off the bench in each of the last three matches, totaling seven crosses and four corners in 51 minutes.

Impact Neto has received one start for 63 minutes (March 5) and come off the bench seven times in his other appearances since returning in February from his long-term injury. Wolves are steadily working him back to fitness and it wouldn't be surprising for him to get another start in the coming weeks. Of course, he doesn't appear ready for a full 90, which means while he could start again soon, he's unlikely to go more than 70 minutes.

Leander Dendoncker - Goes 90 in return Dendoncker had three tackles (two won) in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Burnley.

Impact Dendoncker was back from illness and in his usual role Sunday. He may have the least amount of fantasy value for Wolves playing in a deep, defensive-midfield spot in which he rarely gets forward. In 26 appearances (17 starts) this season, he has one goal and two assists from 18 shots and 11 chances created.

Burnley out of Premier League drop zone by beating Wolves

Burnley held on for a 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton to climb out of the relegation zone and give the club renewed hope of Premier League survival

APRIL 24, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Raul Jimenez - Creates two chances in loss Jimenez took a shot on target and created two chances in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Burnley. He also won two of three tackles in the match.

Impact Jimenez returned from a two-game red card suspension on Sunday, but he couldn't make the difference and find the breakthrough goal against Burnley. He was pushed back into the attacking midfield support behind Fabio Silva at striker for this game, rather than playing up top as a center forward or as part of a front two. It will be interesting to see if this is a lineup manager Bruno Lage tries again as the season winds down.

APRIL 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jonny Castro - Takes shot in loss Jonny took a shot on target and created a chance in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Burnley. He also won three of five tackles in the match.

Impact Jonny had a solid game Sunday against a Burnley side fighting for their Premier League survival. Next weekend he will face Brighton, which sit 11th in the table entering the final month of the season.
