Andreas Pereira - Six cross performancePereira had three shots (two on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 1-0 loss versus Newcastle United.

ImpactPereira was central to Fulham's attacking efforts Saturday, but he was unable to conjure the final shot or pass in his 65 minutes of play that would have picked the lock of the Newcastle defense during Fulham's 0-1 loss. Pereira has had a positive season overall, scoring once and providing a career-best seven assists over 32 Premier League appearances (29 starts). While Pereira's starting opportunities have been plentiful, it's worth considering that he's only played the full 90 minutes on four occasions this campaign.

ImpactWIlson entered the fray for the final 25 minutes Saturday as Fulham fell to Newcastle 0-1. In an abbreviated appearance, Wilson attempted a mind-boggling 10 crosses and eight corners (both season-highs). Wilson has missed patches of time due to injury over the campaign, appearing 29 times (15 starts), scoring three times and providing four assists. If Wilson is able to remain fit for the remainder of the campaign, he should play a role in Fulham's remaining contests.

ImpactLeno turned aside four Newcastle shots on target but allowed a late second half goal that led to Fulham's 0-1 loss Saturday.
