2011/12 Fantasy Season Preview - Wolverhampton Wanderers

Wolverhampton Wanderers FC

Points per game (home: away): 1.47: 0.63
Goals per game (for: against): 1.21: 1.74

Predicted Season Finish: 17th
Not a showy team in the Premier League. Staying in the top flight has always been Wolves' target every season, and it will be the same too this time. They will continue to struggle but thanks to their relatively weaker competitors, they will again survive.

Fantasy Ace?: Matthew Jarvis (£6.0m)
To be frank Wolves is not a productive fantasy team - only one player managed to break the 100 point benchmark, and he's Jarvis. At £6.0m Jarvis is a little bit pricey, but if you think Wolves will do well this season, he's the best person to invest in.

Decent Picks: Roger Johnson (£5.0m)
The solid centre back from Birmingham has immediately become the Wolves' skipper after he joined the club. His leadership and experience will help reduce Wolves' goals against figure, but whether he can improve on his fantasy score is another question.

Worth Scouting: Steven Fletcher (£6.5m), Kevin Doyle (£6.0m)
Both strikers are decent, but their price tags have made them not so worthy investments. Depending on their form, you may think of getting them.
