Fabio Silva - Held quiet in loss Silva shot twice, off target and had no crosses during Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Everton.

Impact Silva was completely shut down by a strong Everton defense. The young forward has been excellent and earned this run of starts to close out the season, but couldn't compete with the Everton center backs. He closes his first season in the Premier League on Sunday, at home against Manchester United.

Noss - Dangerous in loss Traore shot twice on goal and sent in nine crosses (one accurate) during Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Everton.

Impact Traore was brilliant up front, but failed to equalize in what turned out to be a jammy match. The forward put up a strong nine crosses, though he failed to create a chance with that volume. He has a tough match to close the season, at home against Manchester United.

Joao Moutinho - Busy despite loss Moutinho sent in 11 crosses (four accurate) during Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Everton.

Impact Moutinho was the man of the match for Wolves, creating three chances and making the most of his set-piece duty. He reached double digits in crosses off the back of 11 corners, and also provided some defensive value. Moutinho closes the campaign Sunday, at home against Manchester United.

Rayan Ait-Nouri - Eight crosses in loss Ait-Nouri sent in eight inaccurate crosses during Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Everton.

Impact Ait-Nouri was so nearly the difference maker Wednesday, bombing forward and peppering the Everton box. He was unable to find any friendly heads or created a chance in the end, and had little to do defensively. Ait-Nouri closes the season out at home against Manchester United on Sunday.

Daniel Podence - Aiming to return in August Podence had surgery on his groin Monday and the hope is for him to be fit by August, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santo.

Impact Podence was a regular in the squad the first half of the season before injuries took over. Either way, it was his most significant campaign in the Premier League, totaling 24 appearances (22 starts) with three goals and two assists. If all goes well, his role will only grow next season.

Noss - Takes one shot off target Traore took one shot off target and created three chances in Sunday's loss to the Spurs.

Impact Traore was active on the wing but was unable to find the back of the net, something he's done twice in his last six matches. In fact, the speedy winger has two goals and two assists over his last seven appearances.

MAY 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Rui Patricio - Makes nine saves in loss Rui Patricio made nine saves and conceded two goals in Sunday's loss to Tottenham.

Impact Rui Patricio could have a bit of blame on both goals, as he dived too soon in the first goal and gave up a rebound in the second one. The Portugal international still made nine saves, though, and the Wolves could've lost by a bigger margin hadn't he been this good. He has gone four straight matches without keeping a clean sheet.

Nelson Semedo - Limited impact Sunday Semedo sent one cross and made three tackles (two won) in Sunday's loss against Tottenham.

Impact Semedo returned from a one-game absence but barely made an impact on either end of the pitch. He should remain in the lineup for the final few games of the season.

Ruben Neves - Plays 17 minutes against Spurs Neves came off the bench and played 17 minutes against the Spurs on Sunday. He took one shot off target and created one chance.

Impact The talented central midfielder was unable to make a big impact coming off the bench, but his omission from the starting XI was probably due to rest-related reasons -- he had started in every single appearance since mid-December. Expect Neves to move back to the starting lineup Wednesday at Everton.

MAY 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Fernando Marcal - Makes bench in loss Marcal (groin) stayed on the bench in Sunday's loss against Tottenham.

Impact Marcal was back in the squad Sunday, but given that he's played just 43 minutes since December, he wasn't ready to see the pitch. With younger players seeing more minutes of late, it's possible Marcal doesn't start again this season, though on a short week, he could be asked to make at least one XI in the final two matches.

MAY 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Willy Boly - Stays on bench Sunday Boly (rest) was on the bench for Sunday's loss against Tottenham.

Impact Boly was back in the squad Sunday, but he didn't see the pitch, something that could change Wednesday. Given his fatigue issues following COVID-19, it's likely he'll only start one more match this season and it may end up being the home finale against Man United.

Daniel Podence - Undergoing surgery Podence is set for surgery Monday morning on a groin issue he's been dealing with for multiple weeks, manager Nuno Espirito Santo told the media. "This is the right moment to solve...

Impact Podence didn't play in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Tottenham and this news explains why he was absent. After playing much better in the later months of 2020, Podence failed to score in nine league appearances in 2021 and had already missed over a month with a different groin issue. Morgan Gibbs-White has been the most recent starter on the left side of the attack and the final games of the season could see more rotation in that spot as this surgery is likely to rule Podence out for the season.

Fernando Marcal - Returning to fitness Marcal (groin) has joined group training this week and is getting back his fitness, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santo. "He's been out with a long injury, but is now getting...

Impact Marcal has been out since February, so if he only returned to group training this week, it's likely he'll need a few more days before he's ready to start. With just three matches to go, there's a chance he may only be ready to start by the finale next week.

MAY 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Willy Boly - Back in group training Boly (rest) "has joined the group" but "still has individual issues" ahead of Sunday's trip to Tottenham, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santo.

Impact Boly is technically an option for Sunday, but it doesn't seem like he'll be ready to start after missing the last two matches because of COVID-19 after-effects. Even then, Espirito Santo seems to be giving his younger players more run. For now, Boly may only be available to start one more time this season.

Ebeguowen Otasowie - Misses Brighton win Otasowie wasn't in the squad for Sunday's win against Brighton because of a knock.

Impact Otasowie started and went 71 minutes in the prior contest and his absence against Brighton may have had something to do with that. If healthy, there's a chance he receives another spot start in the final couple weeks, but he holds minimal fantasy value in addition to being an early substitute candidate.
