Plymouth Argyle has had a strong start to the season in the Championship, securing four points against Premier League-experienced opponents.
Steven Schumacher has had to be savvy in the transfer market due to limited budget, making key signings including Bali Mumba and Morgan Whittaker.
Several Plymouth Argyle players, including Brendan Galloway and Matt Butcher, are out of contract at the end of the season and may leave unless new deals are agreed.
Plymouth Argyle have enjoyed a highly respectable start to the new season upon their long-awaited return to the Championship.
To date, three of their opening opponents have recently played Premier League football, so securing four points from that stretch will have Steven Schumacher full of confidence. It all began with an impressive 3-1 win over Huddersfield Town, followed by a goalless draw against Watford, and they were then defeated at the death by Southampton in front of the Sky Sports cameras.
Heading into the first international break of the season, Schumacher’s men have accumulated seven points from fifteen available, including the latest impressive home win against Blackburn Rovers after another agonising last minute defeat to high-flying Birmingham City.
Schumacher has one of the more limited budgets in the division at his disposal, and therefore has had to be extremely savvy in the market, with the permanent additions of key men Bali Mumba and Morgan Whittaker just two of eleven additions throughout the summer window. Julio Pleguezuelo, Kaine Kesler-Hayden, and the returning Finn Azaz are among the other eye-catching signings.
Out of contract Plymouth Argyle players
In spite of promotion, the likes of Conor Grant and Danny Mayor were released upon the expiry of their contract, and the club will lose more players next summer as well.
