Bobby Thomas

Thomas was a dependable, ball-playing center back for Coventry in their promotion-winning 2025/26, contributing three goals and four assists across a near ever-present Championship campaign under manager Frank Lampard. That attacking output from defense is unusual and adds a sliver of fantasy interest, but the jump to the Premier League is steep, and a promoted side like Coventry will likely defend more and keep fewer clean sheets. His value rests on nailed-on minutes and the odd set-piece goal, with shutouts harder to come by at this level. He is a cheap, speculative defender, worth a look only if Coventry hold up better than expected, but the step up tempers the appeal.
