Ruben Neves says the Wolves' run in Europe has not contributed to their poor Premier League start.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side finished seventh last season but are winless this term after advancing to the Europa League group stage following six qualifying games.
"Fatigue doesn't have anything to do with it, we're all top players and are used to it," Neves said.
"The Europa League doesn't have anything to do with our position."
Wolves have beaten Armenian side Pyunik and Serie A club Torino to reach the main stage of a European competition for the first time since 1980.
The Black Country club's route to their opening Group K fixture - a first-ever meeting with Braga - began against Crusaders in July, meaning they have played nearly twice as many matches as most of their domestic rivals.
"It's been a beautiful journey into the Europa League and it's a historic moment for Wolves; we're going to do our best," Portugal midfielder Neves added.
"It hasn't been an easy start to the season - we've had extra Europa League qualifying games and the Premier League is the best league in the world.

"You are always going to have these moments in the season and we need to return to winning ways as soon as possible.
"We have these games ahead of us and the most important thing is the game tomorrow. Our objective is to win the game. It'll be difficult but we're going game-by-game."
Team news
Wolves head coach Nuno has no injury worries with Ryan Bennett expected to be available after he missed the 5-2 home defeat by Chelsea in the Premier League last Saturday.
Left winger Wilson Eduardo and defender Vitor Tormena could both be absent for Braga, who finished fourth in Portugal's Primeira Liga last term.
Braga coach Ricardo Sa Pinto has no other major injury concerns although his side have - like Wolves - made a disappointing start domestically, sitting a point above the relegation zone after one win in their opening five games.
Match facts
This will be the first competitive meeting between Wolves and Braga.
Wolves have won five of their six previous meetings with Portuguese opponents (L1), though all of those came between 1971 and 1974.
Braga have only won one of their eight away matches against English opposition (D2 L5), beating Birmingham 3-1 in the 2011-12 Europa League.
The Portuguese side have never lost their opening group stage game in the Europa League before, winning three and drawing one. All three of those wins have come in away games.
This is Wolves' first appearance in a major European competition since the 1980-81 Uefa Cup. They won all six of their Europa League qualifiers this season, netting 19 goals, with Diogo Jota having a hand in eight of those goals (three goals, five assists).

I don't see Fosun waiting as long as many seem to think

Nothing will happen while we can still progress from the group stage. The last match is 12th December, but we could be out before then, of course. The league results will pick up I'm sure. By 12th December we will have played 11 more league matches from which we ought to get something like 18 more points.
If by 12th December we have less than 20 points (from 16 games) and we are out of Europe then even Nuno will be looking over his shoulder.
Personally, as long as we are in the top 15 by Xmas (which I believe we will be) then Nuno is safe. But then I don't own the club (sadly)

Watched the last hour of the U23s game on Wolves tv. Arsenal had taken the lead in the first minute. Wolves equalised in the second half when Arsenal gave the ball away in midfield and Elliot Watt slotted it through for Jordao to finish well. Arsenal then upped their game and no surprise when they regained the lead when Balogun got his second. But Wolves kept going and earned a draw in the 91st minute when another great through ball from Watt saw Perry score on the volley.
Entertaining game played at a good pace. Watt and Jordao impressed in midfield and Sanderson played well on the right of defence. Nobody better than Kilman on the left of defence and I can see why he has been on the fringes of the first team.

So since winning the Asia trophy, we’ve lost 3 in 12 games across domestic and Europe football and you want me and Gem (to a lesser degree, obviously) out ?

Neither of you bothered to turn up for the last match!
One with hard drive problems, one with hard head problems. Replaced by a novice wulfrunnut and a witless American.
The match threads are a joke, and until we improve of the current incumbent we will remain in the relegation zone.

Would be a disaster of sacking Cullis proportions to sack Nuno .
Worrying that Fosun have shown 3 times already that patience is not their strongpoint
