WolvesStellar in service
Bueno registered 11 crosses (five accurate) and three corners in Monday's 2-2 draw versus Brentford.
Analysis: Bueno didn't get an assist but he delivered a strong effort with 11 crosses and three corners, with five of those crosses being accurate. The midfielder should remain aggressive against West Ham and if he keeps up this volume, he's likely to see better results. West Ham have allowed 55 goals through 30 Premier League games.
Strong offensive showing
Bueno scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Arsenal.
Analysis: Bueno was impactful with a goal and five crosses, finally getting on the score sheet for Wolves in EPL play this season. The midfielder has a somewhat tough matchup against Crystal Palace looming, as the side has only conceded 32 times in 26 league games.
Six crosses in home draw
Bueno had one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Newcastle United.
Analysis: Bueno was part of another defensive clean sheet for Wolves, which was only their second of the season, both of which have come in the last four games. He completed one of his crosses and managed to create two chances, makign it six chances created in the last four games.
11 crosses in away draw
Bueno had two shots (one on goal), 11 crosses (five accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 1-1 draw versus Everton.
Analysis: Bueno has started each of the last four games since returning from an injury four games ago. He is catching up as Wolves' set-piece taker, and only Andre (27) has taken more than Bueno's 23. He attempted 11 crosses in the game, completing five. He has taken more than 11 crosses in two games this season and completed more than five crosses on one occasion.
Supplies assist in win
Bueno assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), eight crosses (three accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 3-0 win against West Ham United.
Analysis: Bueno provided the key pass in the build-up Saturday that led to Wolverhampton's third goal in their 3-0 home win over West Ham United. In addtion to his assist, the versatile wide-player led the team with eight crosses (three accurate) and five corners while creating three chances. In 60 career Wolverhampton appearances (34 starts) dating back to the 2022/23 season, Bueno has scored just once and supplied two assists.
Four crosses in Old Trafford draw
Bueno had one shot (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Tuesday's 1-1 draw versus Manchester United.
Analysis: Bueno helped his side to a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford as he took two corners, including a total of four crosses. This was his 10th start of the season and his sixth time playing a full 90 minutes. The full-back also had a shot on target, which was a great chance, but Senne Lemmens made a great save.
Starting vs. Liverpool
Bueno (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Liverpool.
Analysis: Bueno will start on the left side of the defense after being deemed fit enough to play. This will be his first start since early November, and he should earn most of his fantasy value through defensive stats in a game where the Wolves are likely to be dominated and forced to play with a defensive-minded approach.
Late call against Liverpool
Bueno (undisclosed) will be a late call for Saturday's clash against Liverpool, coach Rob Edwards said in the press conference, according to Liam Keen from Express and Star. "H.Bueno has trained today so let's see how he is."
Analysis: Bueno resumed team training on Tuesday with Wolves and will be a late fitness call ahead of Saturday's clash against the reds. However, the return of the versatile defender will not impact the starting XI since he has been only a bench option in his three last appearances.
Aiming return against Liverpool
Bueno is dealing with an undisclosed issue and is aiming a return to the squad next week against Liverpool, coach Rob Edwards said in the press conference, according to Liam Keen from Express and Star. "He's not going to be quite right for the weekend, but hopefully next week."
Analysis: Bueno missed the last game against Arsenal due to an undisclosed issue that is serious enough to make him miss a second game in a row. That said, the versatile defender is expected to be back available for the clash against Liverpool next week. Bueno has been only a bench option since the arrival of new coach Rob Edwards, therefore his absence isn't impacting the starting XI of the Wolves.
Returns to bench
Bueno (back) is on the bench for Monday's clash with Manchester United.
Analysis: Bueno is back on the bench for Monday's clash after overcoming a back injury that left him out against Nottingham Forest. The defender wasn't deemed fit enough for a spot in the starting XI, so David Moller Wolfe continues to start at left-back.
Suffers back injury
Bueno was absent from Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forrest due to a minor back injury, according to Liam Keen of the Express and Star.
Analysis: Bueno was missing from the team sheet Wedensday despite no prior notice of an injury, with it now known he was dealt a minor back injury. The good news is the injury is minor, although the club only has until Monday to recover before they take the field against Manchester United. He will then be in a race against time to be fit for Monday, with David Moller Wolfe as a possible replacement
Available for selection
Bueno (undisclosed) is expected to be available for selection to face Newcastle United on Saturday.
Analysis: Bueno departed the 3-2 loss to Everton with an apparent injury, but the left wing-back is expected to be available for this weekend's clash. That game against Everton was Bueno's first start of the season, and if he returns to the bench, expect David Moller Wolfe to start on the left side of the midfield.
Forced off injured
Bueno (undisclosed) had a decent outing in Saturday's 3-2 loss against Everton but was forced off in the second half due to an injury, according to Nathan Judah.
Analysis: Bueno contributed decently in Saturday's game despite the loss with five tackles, three crosses and two interceptions but ended his shift in a sad way after being forced off due to an apparent injury. That said, if he cannot recover in time during the international break, his absence will not force any changes in the starting XI since he has started only one of the first three Premier League matches this season.
