David Affengruber - Scores first international goal Affengruber scored his first goal for Austria in Sunday's 3-1 win over Kosovo in the Nations League, according to his club.

Impact Affengruber has started two of his three appearances since joining Fulham this summer, sitting out his debut before taking on a starting role in central defense in place of Joachim Andersen. He has produced a clean sheet and 16 clearances across those two starts, and this international goal adds to a strong early stretch of form.

Antonee Robinson - Regular at left-back Robinson has started in all five games to open the season at left-back.

Impact Robinson is back in his regular role at left-back for Fulham, a much better start to the season after injury issues halted him last campaign. His performances thus far have been subpar compared to previous seasons, as a struggling Fulham has forced him to take on more work in the defense, unable to be as active as he normally is in the attack. Without a boost in goal contributions and key passes, the defender's value has started to slide, still sitting as a mid-tier option but close to sliding out of that slot if his play doesn't improve.

Shea Charles - Works into starting time Charles has started in three of Fulham's five matches to open the season.

Impact Charles started the season on the bench for Fulham but quickly worked into a starting role, as the midfielder started in the next three games. His performances thus far have been a bit underwhelming, mainly performing defensively as he tries to find his legs after the jump to Premier League action. He did score over the international break with Northern Ireland and will hope that gives him some confidence and form, as his current value is minimal until he produces more.

Timothy Castagne - Remains starting right-back Castagne has started in all five matches to begin the season at right-back for Fulham.

Impact Castagne has resumed in the starting right-back role after holding that spot much of the 2025/26 season, starting in all five games this campaign. His performances so far have been mediocre for a full-back, with a decent amount of crosses(20) and an assist, keeping him somewhat relevant. He remains a tough player to roster on a struggling Fulham, unlikely to be rostered in many leagues.

Oscar Bobb - Searching for Fulham goal contributions Bobb has starte din all five matches to open the 2026/27 season but is yet to earn a goal contribution.

Impact Bobb is following his club this season when it comes to rough starts, as he has struggled to get much going in his five matches, notching only four shots, eight chances created and 14 crosses. That said, the winger is yet to bag a goal contribution, an issue leading back to last season, as he is yet to earn a goal contribution at all in league play with the club. He was an intriguing prospect coming out of City and does have some upside if he can find his form, although a struggling team won't help that at all. Until he starts to break out, he remains a borderline bench player in most formats.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Sander Berge - Starter again Berge has yet to record a goal contribution in five appearances (four starts) this season.

Impact Berge has not had an ideal start to the season with Fulham, as the struggling team has coincided with his performances. He has yet to see a real, solid match from his defensive midfielder role thus far, not working into the attacking third very often. This limits the midfielder's usage heavily and keeps him as a lower-end option for any fantasy roster, especially after only earning a single goal contribution all of the last campaign.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Calvin Bassey - Maintains starting time Bassey has started in all five of Fulham's matches to open the season.

Impact Bassey has been a regular for Fulham as they start the season, picking up where he left off last campaign, with five straight starts to open the season. It has been a rough start to the season for Fulham, and that has not helped anyone in the defense, as Bassey has only recorded one clean sheet, four interceptions, six tackles and 17 clearances. That said, with goal contributions being a rare occurrence, the defenders' overall value remains minimal in most formats.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

David Affengruber - Finds starting time Affengruber has started in two of his three appearances since joining Fulham.

Impact Affengruber was a late addition to this team this summer, but has quickly found himself in the action, sitting out his debut match but then starting in the next two contests. He then seems to have taken the role of Joachim Andersen in the middle of defense, quickly taking on a starting role for the club. In his two starts, he has earned a clean sheet and 16 clearances, potentially a solid center-back due to his work rate in defense, although a low amount of clean sheets could hurt him unless Fulham starts to pick up play.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Harrison Reed - Limited to reserve role Reed has yet to feature in the Premier League this season, with his playing time limited to the Carabao Cup.

Impact Reed has been restricted to a reserve role in Fulham's midfield, with Shea Charles, Sander Berge, Hugo Larsson and Alex Iwobi all ahead of him in the pecking order. His only opportunities have come in the Carabao Cup, and the depth of competition leaves a limited path to regular Premier League minutes. Reed should remain an experienced rotation option, particularly in cup competition, but may need injuries or significant rotation to earn a larger role.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Emile Smith Rowe - Limited to backup role Smith Rowe has played just 38 minutes across three Premier League appearances this season, though he has started both of Fulham's Carabao Cup matches.

Impact Smith Rowe has been limited to a reserve role in the Premier League, with Josh King established ahead of him as the preferred attacking midfielder. His two Carabao Cup starts have provided the majority of his playing time, while his league involvement has been restricted to brief substitute appearances. With King making a strong start to the season, Smith Rowe could find it difficult to earn a larger Premier League role unless the current hierarchy changes.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jorge Cuenca - Settles into backup role Cuenca has not featured in the Premier League since starting Fulham's opening match of the season, though he has received playing time in the Carabao Cup.

Impact Cuenca has fallen into a reserve role after starting the opening Premier League fixture, with Calvin Bassey and David Affengruber emerging as manager Alvaro Arbeloa's preferred center-back pairing. Joachim Andersen and Cuenca currently provide the primary depth behind the two starters, leaving Cuenca with limited opportunities in league play. The defender should remain involved in cup competition but will likely need rotation or an absence ahead of him to regain regular Premier League minutes.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Benjamin Lecomte - Limited to cup appearances Lecomte has yet to make a Premier League appearance this season but has started both of Fulham's Carabao Cup matches.

Impact Lecomte remains firmly behind Bernd Leno in the goalkeeping hierarchy, with the German established as Fulham's undisputed Premier League starter. The French goalkeeper has instead received his opportunities in the Carabao Cup, a role he should continue to occupy as the season progresses. Lecomte failed to play a single Premier League minute last season, and barring an injury or absence for Leno, his opportunities should remain largely limited to cup competition.

Joachim Andersen - Benched for second straight match Andersen was dropped to the bench for the last two games, with coach Alvaro Arbeloa favoring David Affengruber over him. The player said after the game against United, per Sport Wi...

Impact Andersen was an undisputed starter over the last two seasons, playing 2,877 league minutes across 33 starts last term and captaining the side in the majority of them. In the current campaign, the Denmark international served the final match of a suspension carried over from last season in the opening defeat to Chelsea, then started the losses to Sunderland and Crystal Palace. However, he was an unused substitute in the goalless draw with Liverpool and managed only 10 minutes against Manchester United. Arbeloa changed his back line after three straight defeats and brought in David Affengruber to the heart of defence, with Fulham taking two points from the two matches since, keeping one clean sheet and coming close to a second against Manchester United. As a result, Andersen could face a spell as a rotation option unless injuries or results force a rethink.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Iwobi - Creates five chances Sunday Iwobi recorded two shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Manchester United.

Impact Iwobi had a very productive outing Sunday, recording five chances created after creating five in his first four matches combined. While he still did not record a goal contribution, this type of performance is what has Iwobi has done in the Premier League for so many years. He was replaced in the 71st minute by Cesar Palacios.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Gonzalo Garcia - Three shots Sunday Garcia registered three shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Manchester United.

Impact Garcia managed three shots in Sunday's draw, but he failed to put one on target. He also created one chance in his third straight match. After scoring in the season opener Garcia has struggled to find a groove, totaling 12 shots across four matches but putting just one on target. He'll hope to bounce back after the international break.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Bernd Leno - Concedes once Sunday Leno made five saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Manchester United.

Impact Leno was well on his way to a clean sheet and a win Sunday, but an outside-the-box strike by Matheus Cunha in the 89th minute took both away. Leno made a season-high five saves to stop the damage there. Next up is a trip to Ipswich Town after the international break.

Ryan Sessegnon - Returns from groin injury Sessegnon is available off the bench for Sunday's match against Manchester United after recovering from a groin injury.

Impact Sessegnon returns to the matchday squad after the groin problem kept him out of Fulham's previous two matches against Liverpool and West Ham United. His place on the bench confirms he has recovered sufficiently to provide an option Sunday, though his workload could be managed following the brief absence. Antonee Robinson retains his place in the starting XI, leaving Sessegnon in a backup role at left-back as he works his way back into regular contention.

Impact Sessegnon had already missed both the draw with Liverpool and the EFL Cup match against West Ham United due to a groin problem, an absence that has further delayed his push for regular minutes behind Antonee Robinson. His involvement in training now offers a path back to availability, and his status will continue to be assessed ahead of kickoff.

Impact Tete had already missed the EFL Cup match against West Ham United after getting hit in the face with the ball in the recent draw with Liverpool, an issue that had left his status for this match uncertain. He has been limited to just 27 minutes off the bench this season, so his continued absence should not have a significant impact given his already limited role.
