They may have lost Rayan Ait-Nouri and Matheus Cunha but Wolverhampton Wanderers’ incomings have now started, too. Spanish attacker Fer Lopez has joined Vitor Pereira’s side for a reported £19m from Celta Vigo. A relative late bloomer, the 21-year-old only made his senior debut in the season just gone. A product of Celta’s academy set-up, he had played for the club’s feeder/reserve sides (Gran Pena and Celta B) up to that point.

Now, with the tournament underway, we have an even better idea of who is responsible for dead-ball duties. In this piece, we document who was on penalties and corners in Matchday 1. To do this, we’ve been drawing on the set-piece data from Fbref and WhoScored.

Matchday 2 of the FIFA Club World Cup gets underway this evening, so it’s time to settle on some Scout Picks. READ MORE: When is the Matchday 2 deadline for Club World Cup Fantasy? This is for the upcoming Matchday in isolation, so there’s no forward planning to the rest of the group stage. As with last week (which turned out quite well!), we’ve tried to be a little different and go with a few gambles.
