Chris Wood

Wood's 2025/26 was disrupted by injury, holding the veteran striker to 15 Premier League appearances and three goals, a sharp fall from the 20 he plundered in a superb 2024/25 campaign. When fit and leading the line, he is a proven penalty-box finisher who thrives on the service Forest provide, so the down year looks like lost time rather than age catching up all at once. New Zealand's group-stage exit brings him back early. The arrival of new manager Oliver Glasner adds some uncertainty over the system and whether Wood remains the focal point at 34 years old. For fantasy, he is a bounce-back candidate with double-digit goal pedigree, but the injury record and managerial change temper the confidence. Worth a mid-priced look if he regains a regular starting role, with the ceiling of another 15-plus goal season if his body holds up.
