MATHEUS CUNHA: THE ULTRA-VERSATILE FORWARD
Matheus Cunha (£5m) has emerged as a true Swiss Army Knife in Dream Team, capable of contributing in myriad ways. The forward’s recent performances have been nothing short of stellar, with a remarkable 41 points accumulated over his last three fixtures. His ability to shine against tough opposition has made him an invaluable asset, especially as the Premier League approaches the double Gameweek 25, where every team will play twice.
A STATISTICAL POWERHOUSE
At just 25 years old, Cunha is oozing with quality and consistency. He has notched up 13 goals in all competitions this season, placing him fifth in the league for shots on target among players in his position. His goal-scoring prowess is only part of his repertoire; Cunha also ranks third in bonus points, third in big chances created, and second in tackles among strikers. These statistics highlight his all-around game and the fact that he can rack up points in various categories, making him a versatile addition to any Dream Team lineup.
PROVEN SUCCESS AGAINST TOUGH OPPONENTS
Despite facing strong competition, Cunha has managed to stand out. His most recent 12-point performance against Liverpool is a testament to his ability to deliver under pressure. Arne Slot, a seasoned coach, was quick to acknowledge Cunha’s talent, stating, "Matheus Cunha is a quality player and has the quality to play for one of the top five teams in England." This endorsement underscores the forward’s potential and the respect he commands within the league.
NAVIGATING THE FIXTURES
The main reason many Dream Team managers have hesitated to pick Cunha this season is the club’s fixture list. Wolves are set to face Bournemouth and Fulham in the upcoming double Gameweek 25, both of which are well-coached teams currently vying for European qualification. While these matches may seem challenging, Cunha’s recent form suggests that he is more than capable of rising to the occasion. His performance against Liverpool, a top-tier team, has already proven that he can thrive against the best.
EXPECTATIONS FOR GAMWEEK 25
The Dream Team Stats Centre further substantiates Cunha’s value. He averages 8.4 points per game this season, a rate that is surpassed only by elite players like Mohamed Salah (£8.3m), Cole Palmer (£5.9m), Bukayo Saka (£6.6m), and Erling Haaland (£8.1m). Given his strong form and the potential for two matches in Gameweek 25, even against tougher opponents, it would be reasonable to anticipate a healthy double-digit haul from Cunha. This makes him a highly attractive option for managers looking to maximize their points in the crucial double Gameweek.
THE FIFTH-MOST POPULAR RECRUIT
With the Friday 6:30pm deadline looming, Cunha is currently the fifth-most popular recruit among Dream Team managers. His recent performances and the upcoming favorable fixture schedule have boosted his appeal significantly. For those who are on the fence, the opportunity to add a player who can contribute in multiple ways and has proven his mettle against top teams should not be overlooked. As the competition heats up and the pressure mounts, Matheus Cunha is poised to be a key player in Dream Team lineups.
