Fulham’s Key Players to Watch This Season
As they enter the 2024/25 Premier League season, several Fulham’s key players are expected to play crucial roles in the team’s campaign. After a strong mid-table finish last season, Marco Silva’s side is looking to build on that success. Here are the players to keep an eye on this season.
1. Rodrigo Muniz
The Brazilian striker Rodrigo Muniz is expected to be one of Fulham’s main attacking threats. Last season, Muniz had a particularly hot streak, scoring eight goals in as many matches during February and March. Fulham will be counting on him to replicate that form to provide the firepower needed upfront, especially after the departure of Aleksandar Mitrovic in previous seasons.
2. Adama Traoré
After joining Fulham from Wolves, Adama Traoré had an injury-hit campaign but returned strongly towards the end of last season. His blistering pace and physicality make him a potent weapon on the wings. Fulham fans will be hoping that Traoré stays fit and continues to terrorise Premier League defences throughout the season.
3. Antonee Robinson
Robinson, who won Fulham’s Player of the Season award last year, is a crucial part of Fulham’s defense. His performances at left-back have been consistently strong, making him a player that Marco Silva can rely on for both defensive stability and attacking support. His pace and crossing ability are significant assets for the team.
4. Andreas Pereira
Operating in the heart of Fulham’s midfield, Andreas Pereira has been a key playmaker for the team. With his vision and ability to control the tempo of the game, Pereira will once again be expected to pull the strings in midfield, setting up chances and contributing to Fulham’s attacking play.
5. Raúl Jiménez
New signing Raúl Jiménez brings experience and a proven track record to Fulham’s attack. The former Wolves striker will be aiming to lead the line effectively, offering both goals and assists. His presence will be crucial, especially in guiding younger players like Rodrigo Muniz and Jay Stansfield.
Fulham’s Prospects
With these key players, along with other solid squad members like Emile Smith Rowe and Sander Berge, Fulham will aim to push further up the table this season. The depth in their squad, particularly in the full-back positions, gives them a solid foundation to build upon.
