Since that date they have produced sets covering the Champions League, Euro 2012, World Cup 2014 and 2018 and for the first time in 2019 the English Premier League.

The collection contained 469 cards in total plus an additional 26 Limited Edition cards making a total of 495. The series was made up of 17 individual player cards plus a Power Pairing for each team. On top of that there were individual card for Hero's, Awesome Foursome's, Top Keeper, Diamond, Savage Silk, Game Breaker, Triple Threat, Elite, Invincible and the final card which was the Premier League Trophy.
Not each team was represented in each category, with the elite 'Top Six' teams featuring most prominently. Backs for the cards represented the the positions the players play as represented on the right.
Wolves were represent by 24 cards all as detailed below.

On top of that there were individual card for Golden Baller/Invincible, Top Keeper, Defensive Rock, Game Breaker, Diamond, Lightning, Hero, Elite, Limited Edition, Ultra XL, Limited Edition Signature and again the Premier League Trophy.
Once again not each team was represented in each category, with the elite 'Top Six' teams featuring most prominently. Backs for the cards represented the positions the players play as represented on the right along with a Bonus back for the 'extra' cards. The cards were issued prior to the season kicking-off, thus, a number of players had been transferred to different clubs before a ball had been kicked.
As the season developed additional cards were added for new signings and squad updates along with Assist King and Goal Machine. Wolves were represented by 24 cards in the initial issue and a further 9 in the update giving a total of 33, all of which are shown below.

There is some excellent photoshopping going on. Rui Patricio is shown wearing the new Castore kit, however, the goalkeeper left the club for Roma two days before the new kit was launched!!
As the season developed additional cards were added for Star Signings.
For the first time Panini, rather than issue updates to the teams mid season, issued a complete new set in its own album. This new set contained 369 cards in Total.
Each team was represented by 18 cards which featured a number of individual cards which the additional 9 cards were classed as 'Ultimate'. Additional to this there were 11 Limited Edition Cards and 4 Signature Limited Edition.
The 18 Wolves cards are all featured below with the 5 different card backs are featured to the right..
Very much a repeat of the previous seasons the collection falls just short 500 cards Again 16 player cards alongside the Club Badge and the Team Line-Ups for each team. The additional extra cards saw Golden/Platinum Ballers, Super Stoppers, Defensive Steel, Midfield Master, Diamond, Fire, Ice, Electric Pace, Top Finishers, Adrenalyn Rush, Leader, Titan and World Class. As previous these were not issued for each team however, each team has a Limited Edition card.
This time additional cards were issued to the on-line game only and these were the clubs stadium.
Again the cards were issued far to early just as the season commenced. As a consequence a number of cards either featured players who had left the club (Conor Coady & Fabio Silva), whilst other important players (Ruben Neves & Joao Moutiniho) were not included as they obviously anticipated they would have left the club pre-season.
