Rodrigo Muniz - Scores late equalizer vs. Newcastle Muniz scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Newcastle United.

Impact Muniz entered the game midway through the second half and was in the perfect place at the right time to even things up, taking advantage of a loose ball inside the box to sneak a shot past Lukas Hornicek. This was Muniz's first goal of the season, but the striker continues to play off the bench, and that limits his fantasy upside considerably.

Tom Cairney - Ruled out against Newcastle Cairney has been ruled out for Saturday's Premier League clash against Newcastle due to ongoing knee discomfort, with Fulham unwilling to take unnecessary risks, according to coach...

Impact Cairney will miss Saturday's encounter after experiencing further discomfort in his knee, representing another setback following his delayed start to the campaign. The experienced midfielder underwent a minor surgical procedure on his left knee in early August, which prevented him from participating in the opening fixtures before he gradually resumed team training. He recently featured in three EPL games off bench, contibuting one shot, one chance created and one tackle, although his latest physical concerns have prompted the coaching staff to adopt a cautious approach. It remains unclear whether the discomfort is directly related to his previous procedure or represents a separate issue, and no timeline has been established for his return. His absence reduces Fulham's experienced midfield depth, with the upcoming international break potentially providing additional recovery time.

Gonzalo Garcia - Extends scoring drought Garcia had two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.

Impact Garcia started as Fulham's central striker and was involved in several promising opportunities, including a close-range chance that narrowly missed following Antonee Robinson's dangerous cross. The forward also saw another effort deflected over during Fulham's dominant second-half spell before being replaced in the 87th minute. He has now gone eight consecutive Premier League matches without a goal contribution after opening the season with a goal against Chelsea. His continued presence in the starting lineup provides opportunities to end that drought, although his recent attacking production remains disappointing.

Oscar Bobb - Active in attack Bobb had two shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Aston Villa.

Impact Bobb was one of Fulham's most dangerous attacking players, forcing Zion Suzuki into an outstanding first-half save following a counterattack. The winger remained active after the interval, creating space with his dribbling and contributing to Fulham's sustained attacking pressure. He has recorded one goal, 17 chances created and 26 corners taken across nine Premier League starts this season. His regular starting role and set-piece involvement continue to provide opportunities for attacking production.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Iwobi - Forces equalizer from corner Iwobi had three shots (one on goal), eight crosses (three accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.

Impact Iwobi played a decisive role in Fulham's equalizer, delivering a dangerous corner that Zion Suzuki mishandled over his own goal line. The midfielder was heavily involved in Fulham's improved second-half performance, contributing eight crosses and creating repeated attacking opportunities before being replaced in the 75th minute. He has started all nine Premier League matches this season, scoring once during that span. His consistent starting role and share of set-piece responsibilities provide a reliable source of attacking involvement.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Sander Berge - Returns to starting lineup Berge had one cross (zero accurate) and two tackles in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Aston Villa.

Impact Berge returned to Fulham's starting lineup after beginning the previous Premier League match against Coventry on the bench. The midfielder played the full 90 minutes but conceded an early penalty for handball, although John McGinn subsequently struck the crossbar. He has recorded one assist, nine chances created and 10 tackles across nine Premier League appearances this season, including seven starts. His return to the lineup suggests he remains an important option in Fulham's central midfield rotation.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Shea Charles - Records two shots Shea Charles recorded two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.

Impact Charles started in defensive midfield and became more involved offensively as Fulham dominated possession after the interval. He came close to scoring from a corner routine involving Timothy Castagne and later sent another effort over the crossbar. The midfielder has recorded 12 tackles, 12 interceptions and nine clearances across nine Premier League appearances this season, including seven starts. His regular involvement in midfield provides opportunities for defensive contributions, although his attacking output remains limited.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Antonee Robinson - Active on left flank Robinson recorded one shot (one on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Aston Villa.

Impact Robinson was heavily involved in Fulham's attacking play down the left flank, delivering a dangerous second-half cross that nearly resulted in an equalizer. The defender also helped launch a first-half counterattack that ended with Oscar Bobb testing Zion Suzuki. He has recorded 18 tackles, seven interceptions, 32 clearances and 29 crosses across eight Premier League starts this season. His consistent attacking involvement complements his defensive production.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

David Affengruber - Records five interceptions Affengruber had three shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 30th minute.

Impact Affengruber delivered a strong defensive performance, making five interceptions as Fulham limited Villa's attacking opportunities during the second half. The center-back played the full 90 minutes and helped his side withstand late pressure to secure a point. He has accumulated 10 tackles, 10 interceptions and 45 clearances across six Premier League starts this season. His defensive production continues to make him a useful option in formats rewarding interceptions and clearances.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Timothy Castagne - Contributes at both ends Castagne generated one tackle (zero won), one clearance and three interceptions in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.

Impact Castagne contributed defensively while also getting involved in Fulham's attacking pressure, notably flicking on a corner that created a dangerous opportunity for Shea Charles and Gonzalo Garcia. The right-back was replaced in the 87th minute after another active performance. He has recorded one assist, 16 crosses, 14 tackles and 22 clearances across eight Premier League starts this season. His regular involvement at both ends of the pitch supports his value in defensive and crossing categories.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Calvin Bassey - Remains steady in defense Bassey generated one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Aston Villa. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 49th minute.

Impact Bassey played the full 90 minutes at center-back as Fulham recovered from a first-half deficit to secure a point at Villa Park. Although he recorded limited defensive statistics in this encounter, the defender remains an undisputed starter in Fulham's back line. He has accumulated 17 tackles, six interceptions and 39 clearances across nine Premier League starts this season. His consistent playing time provides a stable foundation for his defensive production.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Bernd Leno - Makes key saves in draw Leno registered two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.

Impact Leno produced an important performance as Fulham secured a point at Villa Park, making a particularly impressive reaction save to deny Ian Maatsen in the second half. He was beaten by Nicolas Jackson's first-half finish but also benefited from John McGinn striking the crossbar with a penalty. The goalkeeper has recorded 23 saves, 11 goals conceded and three clean sheets in nine Premier League appearances this season. He will look to build on this performance against Newcastle in Fulham's next Premier League fixture.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Sessegnon - Option going forward Sessegnon is back in contention following a three-game suspension.

Impact Sessegnon hasn't been a regular starter this season but scored a goal on the lone occasion he logged 90 minutes. After that, a disciplinary issue kept him out for a spell, with the full-back potentially returning to the squad to face Newcastle. In that case, he'll offer backup behind Antonee Robinson, who has recently gained momentum on the left flank.

Emile Smith Rowe - Remains available despite squad omissions Smith Rowe (undisclosed) is fully fit and has been left out of Fulham's recent matchday squads for tactical reasons rather than injury concerns, according to coach Alvaro Arbeloa,...

Impact Smith Rowe remains available for selection, but his lack of involvement continues to reflect his position in Fulham's midfield pecking order rather than any lingering fitness problem. Coach Arbeloa acknowledged the midfielder's frustration over his limited opportunities while emphasizing that he must continue competing for a place in the squad. Smith Rowe has accumulated just 41 minutes across four Premier League appearances this season, despite making two Carabao Cup starts. Josh King remains ahead of him in the No. 10 role, with Tom Cairney providing further competition, leaving Smith Rowe's prospects for regular playing time uncertain.

Emile Smith Rowe - No longer dealing with injury Smith Rowe (undisclosed) has fully recovered from his recent fitness issue, with his continued absence from Fulham's matchday squad now attributed to selection decisions rather tha...

Impact Smith Rowe is no longer dealing with the physical issue that affected him earlier in October, with coach Arbeloa confirming that his recent omissions have been driven by competition for places rather than fitness concerns. The attacking midfielder has struggled to establish himself in Fulham's rotation this season, recording just 41 minutes across four Premier League appearances despite starting twice in the Carabao Cup. Coach Arbeloa emphasized that several fit players are being excluded from each matchday squad, leaving Smith Rowe needing to impress in training to regain his place. Josh King remains the preferred option in the No. 10 role, while Tom Cairney provides additional midfield competition. Although Smith Rowe is available for selection, his immediate playing time remains uncertain until he earns a more prominent role in the rotation.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

David Affengruber - Rested Wednesday after experiencing pain Affengruber (undisclosed) was rested for Wednesday's 1-0 Carabao Cup defeat against Crystal Palace after finishing the previous match against Coventry City with some pain, accordin...

Impact Affengruber was left out of Wednesday's Carabao Cup encounter against Crystal Palace after experiencing pain toward the end of the previous match against Coventry City. Coach Arbeloa indicated that the issue was not serious and that his decision was partly motivated by squad rotation, suggesting the defender's absence was precautionary rather than the result of a significant injury. The coach also wanted to provide Joachim Andersen with an opportunity while increasing Sander Berge's playing time. Affengruber should therefore remain in contention for Saturday's clash against Aston Villa, provided he experiences no further discomfort. His condition will likely be monitored in training, although there is currently no indication that he faces an extended absence.

OCTOBER 28 • Associated Press

Sander Berge - Plays full match against Palace Berge took three shots (zero on goal) and created one scoring chance in Wednesday's EFL Cup loss to Crystal Palace.

Impact Berge had previously seen his playing time managed due to illness, but he had little trouble playing his usual role in defensive midfield and completing 98 percent of his 94 passes during the midweek clash. He should be included at the expense of Hugo Larsson as Shea Charles' partner in the double pivot in future games. Berge's presence in possession allows him to generate some creative numbers in each game, which earned him his first assist of the season the last time he started in EPL play.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Antonee Robinson - Three crosses in 1-0 win Robinson recorded three crosses (one accurate) and two tackles in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Coventry City. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 82nd minute.

Calvin Bassey - Key player in 1-0 win Bassey recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Coventry City.

Impact Bassey was heavily involved in Fulham's 1-0 win over Coventry. He has played 90 minutes in each game so far this season and has taken a shot in five of the eight matches. He felt he should have earned his team a penalty as he was pulled down at a corner, but as he had pulled the Coventry player first it wasn't overturned by VAR.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Timothy Castagne - Six crosses in 1-0 win Castagne registered one shot (zero on goal) and six crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 win versus Coventry City.

Impact Castagne was heavily involved in Fulham's 1-0 win over Coventry, despite being unable to pick up a goal involvement. He was unable to complete any of his six crosses, and in the last game, he had attempted five crosses without a completed attempt. He took one shot in the game but was unable to direct his header on target.
