2. Tomas Soucek

Like his international teammate Vladimir Coufal, Tomas Soucek has been a star performer under David Moyes. But in the Wolves friendly, Soucek gave away the possession inside West Ham's half that saw Wolves forward Matheus Cunha placing the ball in the back of the net for the opening goal.

Against Crystal Palace, Soucek again struggled with Palace's high pressing tactics and overall struggled to control the midfield in the game. With Guido Rodriguez's signing, Rodriguez seems more likely to be the starting midfielder ahead of Soucek under Julen Lopetegui.
