CUNHA BELIEVE IT

Bundle-of-joy Matheus Cunha excels again ahead of favourable Gameweek 13 fixtures

The Wolves forward banked 20 points at the weekend and could be an excellent option for Gameweek 13

MATHEUS CUNHA (£4.8m) is a popular man here at Dream Team HQ.

We're forever singing the Wolves forward's praises and tipping him as a smart differential option when appropriate.

And it's time to beat that drum again after a thoroughly deserved 20-point haul on Saturday.

Cunha stole the show at Fulham with an assist and two goals as Gary O'Neil's side won 4-1 at Craven Cottage.

The hosts took the lead in West London but struggled to contain Cunha's brilliance as the game progressed.

The former Atletico Madrid player displayed a Bergkamp-esque first touch to facilitate the visitors' equaliser while his second goal came in the form of a sumptuous curled effort from 20 yards out.

In between those two efforts, he found Joao Gomes (£2.8m) with a neat pass into the box for his third assist of the campaign.

Truth be told, Cunha has deserved considerably more assists this season as he's created nine big chances for his team-mates in total, a tally only bettered by four players.

For comparison, Manchester City's Savinho (£4.1m) has created the same number of big chances but has twice as many assists (six).

After his brace against the Cottagers, Cunha has seven goals to his name this term, putting him level with Kai Havertz (£4.5m) and Nicolas Jackson (£4m) among strikers.

The 25-year-old is undoubtedly his side's talisman and his all-round contribution to Wolves' attacking play is reflected in his tally of eight bonus points - Son Heung-min (£5.3m) is the only player in his position above him in the metric.

In fact, Cunha ranks among the top three forwards for successful dribbles, accurate crosses, interceptions, fouls won and goals scored from outside the area among - he does it all!

When discussing Wolves' brilliant No10 we are usually forced to state the caveat that his viability is limited by the schedule.
