The New Molineux Era: A Data-Driven Destiny

[Johno]

Thanks to Google Gemini for the title idea  
 

Have been playing moneyball with Wolves, after being inspired by Clayts and Munstermann. You can find them on youtube, I would definitely recommend it!

Holidayed the first season and Wolves caught my eye, they finished 11th and qualified for Conference League after winning Carabao Cup, took over end the season. Currently, in my second season with them.

2nd Season

 
Weird thing was that Tottenham won the title at Arsenal after beating them! 

Finished 6th and beat Liverpool to win Carabao Cup. Also won Conference League

Transfers

Going to pick few decent ones, that have made huge impact.

Have to say this is the best signing I have made by far, joined the club in January 2025, impressive record! 

Another top class signing in goal for us, Been superb.

Genuinely can't believe how I got him for 6M, What a signing and already dominating in 3rd season. Was top of the charts on key passes and passes completed while using FMdatalab

It may looks painfully slow to look at data but absoutely worth it in the end, I wouldn't even sign any of those players if I wasn't doing moneyball 

3rd season so far

Amazed how we have started the season, with us facing the big boys already! Gutted about Liverpool loss as they scored with last kick of the game

Interesting to see how this plays out, are you using Excel spreadsheets to help with the moneyball element?

No, I use fmdatalab and look at charts look at stats to sign players. I would recommend it tbh. I did find using excel spreadsheet doesn't really help. 

 

Really enjoying it immensely and currently in January and will update tomorrow.

Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.

What a season so far! Not surprised to see Nascimento, still banging goals in and happy to see Domina, still chipping in even he's a back up to the main man. Also special mention to Aranda, who is ripping up down the left hand side Sadly former Wolves player, Neto, knocked us out in 87th minutes in Carabao Cup Semi Final  Also very close in the table, surprisedly Ipswich Town was right up there before slipping down! 

Transfers wise, not bought anyone in as happy with the squad but may look at signing more players to boost depth since few players complaining about lack of it.

Loving the look of this  Was in the 1.5M barrier before selling players on big wages.

[Johno]

WOOWWWW! Thanks to Liverpool beating Spurs gifting us the title   Will do update shortly.

What a season from both of them! 

[Johno]

 

Made major improvement in the summer on new players, got rid of few players including Joao Gomes who went to Bournemouth for 25M. Felt we was lacking at right back, saw Pitbull stats for the season and was immensely decent, snapped up instantly!  Assadi was bought in for depth at left winger after departure of Tanguy Coulibaly (signed on free, sold for 30M) Big major signing for us is Curtis Jones on free transfer from Liverpool, couldn't pass this signing, fitting in perfectly  

Loving this!  

 

Season so far, we seem to be creating a pattern of win and then draw   Just knocked Chelsea out of EFL Cup too

Sadly lost my assistant manager to Man City  Also my set pieces coach to Spurs  Spurs and Chelsea tends to nick my backroom staff too.
