Joao Moutinho - Takes shot in early Euro exit Moutinho had one shot (off target), one chance created, three fouls drawn and two interceptions in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Belgium.

Impact Moutinho had another solid display in his second straight start of the Euros. He was fairly productive with three shots, four chances created and six crosses from his four appearances (two starts). The veteran will now look towards sustaining his form for the next campaign again.

Rui Patricio - Allows one in loss to Belgium Patricio had no saves in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Belgium.

Impact Patricio had very little impact here and records another bad match up. The keeper will finish the campaign with 11 saves and one clean sheet but seven goals allowed seriously hampered his overall fantasy production.

Ruben Neves - Fails to start at Euro Neves was an unused sub in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Belgium.

Impact Neves didn't have any impact here at the Euros but his late return will likely see him take a longer break and return to his club later than most which could have him have a slower beginning of the new campaign.

Nelson Semedo - On bench against Belgium Semedo is listed on the bench for Sunday's Round of 16 match against Belgium.

Impact Semedo has been dealing with an undisclosed injury that limited his participation in training and as a result he won't start this game. His team may be the better for it, as although Semedo is talented offensively, his defensive work has been lacking and Diogo Dalot will get his chance to start.

Nelson Semedo - Training on side Semedo (undisclosed) was training on the side Thursday ahead of Sunday's match against Belgium, reports The Portugal News.

Impact This doesn't seem like a serious issue, but Semedo asked to come off in the 79th minute of Wednesday's match against France. The hope is that he can get back in full training and be ready to start Sunday, and if not, there's a chance Nuno Mendes enters the XI immediately following his injury.

JUNE 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Rui Patricio - Makes three saves in 2-2 draw Patricio made three saves in Wednesday's 2-2 draw to France.

Impact Both Patricio and Hugo Lloris had busy days in an entertaining affairs and were faced with some tough saves but two goals in each net have likely hampered their fantasy productions. The former have now mounted 11 saves and a clean sheet in three affairs but his six goals allowed in the last two outings along with a clash with Belgium make him a risky fantasy option in the Round of 16.

JUNE 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nelson Semedo - Sends two crosses in 2-2 draw Semedo had two crosses (none accurate), four tackles (three won) and one blocked shot in Wednesday's 2-2 draw to France.

Impact Semedo had a decent display here overall and turned in some individual peripheral numbers. He's still without a goal or an assist but with a clean sheet alongside two chances created, nine crosses and 13 tackles in his three matches he has been productive. Portugal have allowed six goals in last two matches however and facing Belgium in the Roound of 16 won't make things much better.

JUNE 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Joao Moutinho - Takes two shots in first Euro start Moutinho had two shots (off target), two chances created and 44 passes completed in Wednesday's 2-2 draw to France.

Impact Moutinho wasted some good opportunities for a major contribution in his first start of the campaign but overall turned in a solid display making a good bid to stay in the starting XI. A potential return of Bruno Fernandes to the first team for the knockout stages though could see Renato Sanches or Moutinho pushed back to the bench.

JUNE 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

John Ruddy - Staying at Wolves Ruddy signed a one-year deal with Wolverhampton, keeping him at the club another season.

Impact Ruddy will stay on at Wolverhampton where he made one start this past season. He'll continue on as the backup to Rui Patricio, something that's led to just three league starts the last three seasons.

JUNE 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Rui Patricio - Concedes four to Germany Patricio allowed four goals while making five saves during Saturday's 4-2 loss to Germany.

Impact Patricio conceded two goals in each half, two of which came via own goals. The keeper has now allowed four goals in two starts at the Euro's while his five saves upped his total to eight in the competition.

JUNE 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Yerson Mosquera - Joins Wolves Mosquera signed with Wolverhampton Wanderers on a five-year contract after transferring from Atletico Nacional of Colombia on Thursday.

Impact Mosquera checks off a lot of the boxes that make him a bright talent for the future and will hope to be the first to break into a lineup that revolves around Conor Coady, Romain Saiss and Willy Boly. He my need some time to settle, but like Rayan Ait-Nouri and Ki-Jana Hoever, Mosquera has a long-term contract that affords him plenty of time to state his case.

JUNE 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Rui Patricio - Earns clean sheet Patricio made three saves to preserve a clean sheet in Tuesday's 3-0 victory over Hungary.

Impact Patricio is coming off a strong domestic performance this season in which he recorded 10 clean sheets in 37 appearances for Wolverhampton and appears to have carried that momentum into Euro 2020. The keeper will be hard-pressed to maintain his perfect form heading into clashes with Germany and France on June 19 and 23. respectively.

JUNE 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nelson Semedo - Launches six crosses Semedo recorded six crosses (zero accurate), seven tackles (three won) and two chances created in Portugal's 3-0 victory over Hungary on Tuesday.

Impact In most circumstances, six crosses would be an impressive performance but considering teammate Bruno Fernandes racked up 11 crosses, Semedo's form may go somewhat unnoticed. Still, the right-back should maintain his spot in the starting XI moving forward and figures to be a sneaky value play in fantasy contests.

Noss - Makes bench against Sweden Traore (hamstring) is on the bench for Monday's match against Sweden.

Impact Traore had been training for close to a week prior to Monday's match and he's healthy enough to make the bench. While he's not a starter, he's once of many wingers available for the Spanish team, and he's one who could fit the role perfectly of super sub for this squad.

JUNE 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Noss - Training, status unknown for opener Traore (hamstring) is back in training, but he's not ready to play yet, according to manager Luis Enrique.

Impact Traore still has a few days before Spain's first match on Monday, so there's a chance he'll be healthy enough to make the squad. However, it's hard to see him being used unless he's training fully because he's been out for a couple weeks with his hamstring injury, suffered in the league finale on May 23.

Noss - Misses Friday friendly Traore (hamstring) is not in the squad for Friday's friendly against Portugal.

Impact Traore is still recovering from a hamstring injury suffered a little more than two weeks ago and he faces a race to be fit for the Euro opener. Fortunately, Spain's first match is June 14, so he still has a little more than a week to get back his health and fitness. Even then, he's only expected to be a bench option for the Spaniards.

JUNE 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Noss - Still not completely fit Traore (hamstring) is still not training fully, according to Spain head coach Luis Enrique.

Impact Traore suffered a hamstring injury in the league finale a couple weeks ago and it looks like it's still bugging him. On a normal timeline, he should be edging closer to recovery if it's a simple hamstring tweak. If not, it's unknown when he'll be ready for Spain with the Euros less than 10 days away.

JUNE 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Romain Saiss - Starts 27 matches Saiss ended the season as a regular on the back line with 27 starts, three goals and seven clean sheets.

Impact Saiss was again a regular for Wolves, partly because he was healthier than almost every other defender. He's started 58 matches the last two seasons, though his role could change under a new manager if they move to a four-man back line because he's likely the third center-back behind Conor Coady and Willy Boly.

JUNE 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Fernando Marcal - Loses most of season to injury Marcal ended the season healthy, but he finished with just seven starts from 13 appearances.

Impact Marcal was set to be a big signing for Wolves from Lyon, but he battled injuries from the third match of the season on. He started when fit and available, but that wasn't often and if he can return to full health over the summer, he's expected to open next season as a starting defender.

JUNE 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Vitinha - Gets more run late in season Vitinha appeared in six of the final seven matches, drawing three starts in that period.

Impact Vitinha had some sparks for Wolves, mainly when he was on set pieces in one match. He still finished with just five starts from 19 appearances, accruing eight shots and 12 chances created. For the most part, it was a disappointing loan from Porto and it's unlikely he'll be back with Wolves next season.

JUNE 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Max Kilman - Sees limited time late Kilman started just two matches in the final three months of the campaign, finishing with 14 in total.

Impact Kilman got a decent amount of run in the middle of the season, but his role disappeared in the second half and he struggled to appear when other center-backs were healthy. Given that he didn't become a regular when Willy Boly was out, it's hard to see his playing time increasing much in the new season under a new manager.
