Wolves on Track to Set Premier League Records for Poor Performance in 2025-26 Season
Wolves have recorded 0 wins, 2 draws, and 14 losses from their first 16 Premier League games this season, earning only 2 points, or about 0.13 points per game. They are on course to finish with fewer than five points, potentially breaking Derby County’s record of 11 points from the 2007-08 Premier League season.
If Wolves fail to beat Brentford, they could also equal Sheffield United’s record of 17 consecutive winless Premier League matches at the start of a season. The club has become the first in Premier League history to start consecutive campaigns with 10 or more winless matches.
At this stage in the season, Derby County had six points, indicating Wolves are performing significantly worse this campaign. The club’s decline reflects years of dismantling the core group that once delivered promotions and solid top-flight runs. Key departures include players such as Jiménez, Neves, Traoré, Neto, Nunes, Kilman, Coady, Moutinho, Aït-Nouri, and Cunha.
Their replacements, including Fer López, Tolu Arokodare, and Jhon Arias, have failed to replicate previous creativity. Arias, for example, has yet to score or assist in 15 appearances, while López was a £19 million signing.
Wolves have managed to score only nine goals this season, with no player having more than one goal scored — a situation not seen since Leicester City in 1977-78. Strand Larsen has one goal in 14 appearances to date.
