GW7 DIFFERENTIALS;JOAO MOUTINHO

Joao Moutinho (£5.4m)

The midfielder is owned by just 2.1 per cent of FPL managers ahead of his home match against Southampton.

Moutinho welcomes the Saints to Molineux in fine form, having scored Wolverhampton Wanderers' equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford last weekend.

He has 22 FPL points over the last four Gameweeks, including an assist at home to Manchester City in Gameweek 3.
Making chances

Since arriving from Monaco in the summer, Moutinho has created 10 goalscoring chances, more than any team-mate.

Set-play duties are key to his potential.

The 32 corners he has taken this season are more than any other player in FPL.
Set-piece specialist

The Portugal international has created five chances from set-plays alone, which places him in the top four among midfielders.

That delivery could well trouble Southampton.

Mark Hughes’s men rank among the bottom five sides for chances conceded from set-pieces.

They have allowed 20 headed attempts on goal, more than any other side.

Moutinho can expose those frailties and help extend Wolves’ four-match unbeaten run.

Morrison helped his side to clean sheets against Newcastle United and Huddersfield Town over Gameweeks 2 to 3. He followed that up with back-to-back assists against Arsenal and Chelsea. Major threat The 27-year-old boasted a fine record in last season's Championship. He scored seven goals and recorded a total of 50 shots on goal. Although he has yet to score this term, Morrison has carried a major threat for the Bluebirds. Chance creator No Cardiff player has bettered his totals of seven chances created and two big chances. A big chance is a situation where the player receiving the pass is expected to score. Morrison's aerial threat can be decisive against visitors Burnley this Sunday. He has won 37 headed duels this season, more than any other defender. Claret concess...
