Dream Team’s Swiss Army Knife Matheus Cunha ticks every box ahead of double Gameweek 25

MATHEUS CUNHA (£5m) is Dream Team’s Swiss Army Knife; he does it all.

The Wolves forward is statistically the most in-form player in the game right now having amassed 41 points in his last three outings.

The 25-year-old has scored against Aston Villa, Blackburn and Liverpool in consecutive fixtures but his goal threat is only one aspect of his game.

Cunha has scored 13 goals in all competitions this season and ranks fifth for shots on target among assets in his position.

Furthermore, he ranks third for bonus points, third for big chances created, and second for tackles among strikers – a gargantuan effort without European fixtures to bolster his schedule.

And it’s the fact Cunha offers multiple routes to points that makes him such an appealing Dream Team option ahead of double Gameweek 25.

With all 20 Premier League clubs set to play twice, Wolves will not be on the wrong side of a fixture deficit, which is the main reason gaffers have resisted Cunha this season.

Vitor Pereira’s side are due to face Bournemouth and Fulham, two of the league’s best-coached sides both pushing for European qualification.

While that’s far from a favourable double header, Cunha has proven himself capable of success against tough opposition, as evidenced by his 12-point haul against Liverpool last time out.

Arne Slot was first in line to praise the former Atletico Madrid forward, saying: “Matheus Cunha is a quality player and has the quality to play for one of the top five teams in England.”

The Dream Team Stats Centre paints the Brazil international in a very flattering light.

He averages 8.4 points-per-game this season, a rate only bettered by the absolute cream of the crop: Mohamed Salah (£8.3m), Cole Palmer (£5.9m), Bukayo Saka (£6.6m), Erling Haaland (£8.1m).

Even accounting for two deceptively difficult opponents, it would be reasonable to expect a healthy double-digit haul from Cunha in Gameweek 25.

Hence why he’s currently the fifth-most popular recruit ahead of Friday’s 6:30pm deadline.
