Lewis Dunk is useful for passes given that he is 2nd for accurate passes per game (95.1/92%) in the Premier League this season (SofaScore), is performing well in some underlying numbers, and is likely to get passes tier.

Dunk has a threat from corners/set pieces, xGI of 3.86 (top 5 from all defenders), an xG of 2.33 (top 2 from all defenders) can score quite big, Brighton are expected to have more possession than their opponents Wolves, Brighton have key defenders/midfielders fit again to bolster their defence (looking more compact), Wolves may look to counter but ultimately I am electing for an influential player with a home fixture.

Dunk may stay in or be a one off pick.

A break from Premier League football (League Cup & FA Cup this week) offers a chance to take stock (and plan transfers).
