Impact Rodrigo Muniz made his sixth appearance of the season and came on with 16 minutes to go, which made it his longest appearance of the season.

Starts season as rotational option Muniz has only appeared off the bench twice for 15 minutes to open the 2026/27 season.

Impact Muniz has not started the season with an increased role as he is still only a bench option, appearing in two of the club's three games while earning 15 minutes from the bench. The forward only started in 10 of his 21 appearances while notching a goal and one assist, struggling to see much time last season as he fell just short of 1,000 minutes played. With a limited role and limited time to work in the field, his value will be minimal until a bigger role comes.

Struggles Saturday Muniz had three shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Liverpool.

Impact Muniz had a few excellent chances during Saturday's loss, but didn't make the most of them. He couldn't do much with any of his three shots and his two chances created didn't go anywhere. Muniz will need to be more efficient to be a threat against top opposition.

Staying on bench role Muniz has made just one league start for Fulham since the beginning of 2026.

Impact Muniz started in four of Fulham's first five matches in the Premier League, but between injuries and poor form, he didn't start a single EPL match until March 21, just before the international break. As long as Raul Jimenez stays healthy, Muniz will continue to see minimal minutes -- thus limiting his fantasy upside considerably.

Impact Muniz was facing a longer absence and has at least another month on the sidelines, with a return expected in February. This will take his absence to over two months and potentially three months, a rough loss for the forward who started in four of his seven appearances before the injury. If not setbacks occur, a return at the start of February could come, with Raul Jimenez to continue at forward for the time being.

Impact Muniz would enter the field in the 58th minute as a substitute but would only make it to the 75th minute before he would have to be taken off, with the forward suffering yet another injury. The club will have him in for testing immediately, as injuries continue to be an issue for the forward, just returning from a four-game absence. He will hope the international break is enough time to recover from whatever discomfort he is experiencing, as he is set to see decent time when fit.

Impact Muniz was known to be out until the international break but is now going ot miss further time, as the forward is likely to continue to miss out after the break as well due to his injury. This is a rough development for the forward, as he was earning a starting role to begin the season. That said, this will likely set him up for a return around the start of November, potentially missing a month due to his injuries.

Impact Muniz is sticking around Fulham for a few more seasons at least, with the forward inking a deal with the club through 2030. This comes as he earns a starting role this season, notching one goal and an assist through five appearances (four starts) this season. He recorded eight goals in only eight starts last season (31 appearances), so he will look to bring more success to the club following his extension.

Impact Muniz was a surprise absence Sunday, with it no clearer when he suffered the injury, as it occurred last match against Brentford, forcing him off the field in the 80th minute.

Provides assist in derby Muniz assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 victory versus Brentford.

Impact Muniz provided the assist for the equalizer before linking play in the buildup to the 40th-minute winner two minutes later, feeding Alex Iwobi centrally before the final pass found Harry Wilson. He later had a powerful finish ruled out after a VAR review for a foul in the build-up, denying him Fulham's fourth. Muniz worked the Brentford back line with hold-up play and runs into the channels but couldn't find the back of the net just like his four last outings, having scored only once in the opener against Brighton this season. He will hope to score his second goal of the season against the Villains on Sunday.
