Chris Wood
33-Year-Old
Nottingham Forest
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wood notched a career campaign at the age of 33 in the 2024/25 season, leading Nottingham Forest to European football and a seventh-place finish. The forward reached a career-high 20 goals, with 17 of them coming in the first 24 matches. His three assists also matched a career high, seeing much more involvement in the fast-paced counterattacking system they have in place. The question is if this will be a one-off, as his form and Forest's form as a team dropped the final few months of the season. He's reached double-digit goals in the Premier League on six occasions and has proved he can score when given the opportunity, but reaching 20 goals in 2025/26 seems like a longshot.

No-show to finish career campaign
Wood recorded three shots (zero on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Chelsea.
ANALYSIS
Wood had multiple good chances to get Nottingham's team on the board but did not follow through. That has been his story since March, backed up by barely multiple goals despite double-digit appearances. But take the first seven months of Wood's 2024-25 season, and it is excellent. For the first time in his tenured Premier League career, he achieved a 20-plus G/A, which includes three assists on 22 chances created. However, the striker's bread and butter has always been goal scoring, with this season no different. Wood's 35 shots on target earned him 20 scored, his career best.
