Sander Berge - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Two shots in loss Berge recorded two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Ipswich Town.

Impact Berge played every minute at Portman Road and was one of Fulham's more involved players with two shots, one chance created, two tackles, four clearances and one block. He has been a regular at the base of midfield alongside Shea Charles, starting five of the six league games, and his season totals now stand at four shots, seven chances created, six tackles and eight clearances. His output is modest in every category, but he contributes a little everywhere and remains a fixture in the side.

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.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Busy defensively Berge had three tackles (two won), two clearances and one interception in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Liverpool.

Impact Berge had everything to do defensively during Saturday's draw. He shut down a few Liverpool attacks and won the ball back on multiple occasions. The midfielder was a rock at the base of the midfield and made life difficult for the entire Liverpool attack. Berge will be in for a similar task when he takes on Manchester United next time out.

SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Off day Berge recorded no stats in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Sunderland.

Impact Berge got the start Sunday, and did absolutely nothing with it during a very disappointing performance. It was just a day to forget, not that Berge has anything to remember it for. He will hope to bounce back against Crystal Palace, where any sort of spark would be an improvement.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Mixed output in loss Berge generated one clearance and one interception in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus England.

Impact Berge generated a few attacking plays and recovered some balls to offset his four fouls committed in the World Cup quarter-finals game versus England. The central man was quite consistent throughout the tournament, and he completed more than 100 passes in each of his last two matches played. Still, he lacked direct goal involvement, which is the usual case for him given his defensive midfield role.

JULY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Restless distributor in victory Berge recorded one clearance and two interceptions in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Brazil.

Impact Berge tallied an impressive count of 117 accurate passes for a solid overall performance in Sunday's match. The central midfielder has yet to generate a scoring chance over four games, but he's a constant presence for a dominant Norwegian side, producing a few defensive stats per contest. He should be a source of passes and occasional ball recoveries for the remainder of the competition.

JULY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Defensive in midfield Berge generated four tackles (two won) and one interception in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over Cote D'ivoire.

Impact Berge was defensive in midfield throughout Tuesday's win, shutting down some Ivory Coast attacks throughout the match. Berge doesn't offer nearly as much going forward but can be a consistent help to keep the opponent limited. Berge will need to be at his best next time out against Brazil, who offer far more threat going forward.

JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE

Contributes defensively against Senegal Berge recorded one cross (zero accurate), four interceptions and three clearances and won one tackle in Monday's 3-2 win over Senegal.

Impact Berge worked hard for the second game in a row and filled the stat sheet on the defensive end, while he rarely had any foray in the final third. He occasionally struggled to keep up with the more energetic opponents throughout the contest. He has registered at least one interception, racking up five, one clearance, accumulating four, and one tackle (two won) in his first two World Cup appearances.

JUNE 23 • ROTOWIRE

Controls midfield in win Berge recorded one tackle (one won), one clearance and one interception in Tuesday's 4-1 victory versus Iraq.

Impact Berge served as the central hub for Norway, controlling tempo through a steady stream of accurate passing that left him second on the team with 78 completed passes, just behind center-back Torbjorn Heggem. He recorded no attacking statistics on the night, though he did contribute defensively with one tackle, one interception and one clearance.

JUNE 17 • ROTOWIRE

Starting midfielder for Norway Berge is expected to be a starting midfielder for Norway at the 2026 World Cup.

Impact Berge is joining up with the Vikings as they head to America for the World Cup, with the midfielder set to take his starting role with Fulham to the world stage with Norway. He is set to be more of a defensive option for the club as they sit behind their amazing attack, helping out a defense that could struggle a bit more. This will kill Berge's production a bit, but the good news is he should see plenty of touches on the ball either way. With only one assist to his name for goal contributions during the league season, he is unlikely to find many opportunities around the net.

JUNE 10 • ROTOWIRE

Option for Saturday Berge (illness) is an option for Saturday's match against Bournemouth, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fullhamish. "Sander had the illness, he's been suffering...

Impact Berge struggled with an illness that kept him out last week, but he is now set for a return, as he has been cleared and is in contention. However, it appears he is still dealing with some drawbacks, leaving the question of how many minutes he will be available. He is typically a starter and will look to return to the role immediately, earning one assist in 33 appearances (32 starts).

Inactive due to virus Berge's absence in Saturday's game against Arsenal was confirmed by manager Marco Silva to be due to a virus that affected the Fulham training ground, James Benge of CBS Sports re...

Impact Berge was a late blow to the team's lineup, and his health will now have to be monitored ahead of the final few fixtures of the season. The midfielder has started in 33 EPL matches this campaign, losing a bit of consistency only in recent weeks. As soon as he's ready to play a significant role, Berge will aim to regain a starting spot from Harrison Reed.

MAY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Saturday Berge (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Arsenal.

Impact Berge is an undisputed starter in the midfield, making his last-minute withdrawal a significant blow for his side. No details have been provided on the nature of the issue, leaving his availability for upcoming fixtures uncertain. Harrison Reed is expected to continue filling in at the base of the midfield should Berge remain unavailable for the coming matches.

MAY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Keeps clean sheet Saturday Berge generated two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Aston Villa.

Impact Berge kept his fourth clean sheet of the season Saturday, his first since Dec. 27. He made two interceptions and one clearance on that end of the pitch. On the attack he recorded two shots for just the second time this season and he created one chance in his third consecutive appearance.

APRIL 26 • ROTOWIRE

Assists from cross Berge assisted once to go with three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-1 victory over Chelsea.

Impact Berge's accurate cross setup the first Fulham goal Wednesday, catalyzing a 2-1 victory over Chelsea. In addition to notching his first goal contribution of the campaign, the holding-midfielder contributed four tackles (three won), two interceptions, four clearances and one block to the defensive effort across his 90-minute shift. Berge has been named to the Fulham starting XI in 20 of their 21 league fixtures.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Credited with own goal Berge registered an own goal, four tackles (three won) and one clearance in Tuesday's 5-4 loss versus Manchester City.

Impact Begre would be on the unfortunate end of a Manchester City scoring play Tuesday, with the midfielder deflecting a Jeremy Doku shot into the net in the 54th minute, unfortunately being the game-clinching goal for City. Before the own goal, things weren't much better, allowing four goals, although he did record one clearance and four tackles. He remains without a goal contribution all season after not earning a single one all of last campaign in 31 appearances.

Erling Haaland joins the 100 club... in just 111 games! Man City superstar sets incredible record as he topples Alan Shearer as fastest player to a century of Premier League goals

Logging consistent minutes Berge has started in each of Fulham's seven matches in the 2025/26 Premier League so far.

Impact Berge has been a regular in midfield for Fulham regardless of who's playing alongside him. That said, the Norway international doesn't have a lot of fantasy upside in him due to the defensive-minded nature of his role in the middle of the park.

OCTOBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starter early Berge started the first two matches of the Premier League.

Impact Berge has always been a player that struggles to fill the stat sheet, and he's continued that despite starting each of the first two Premier League matches. Berge was given a rest during Wednesday's Carabao Cup clash, but remains a consistent part of the starting XI in the Premier League. Even with a consistent role, Berge has little opportunity to offer much on either side of the ball, as he mostly focuses on recycling possession.

AUGUST 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Silent work in midfield Berge recorded 59 tackles, 43 clearances, 23 interceptions and 20 chances created over 34 matches (28 starts) in the 2024/25 season.

Impact Berge was involved in most games when fit, but he didn't make any goal contributions, being more of a ball retriever in his first campaign for Fulham. The Norway international made 15 consecutive starts before dropping to a bench spot for the season finale. While he can continue to help the team if he stays on the roster, the current formation makes him unappealing in terms of offensive production, especially with his midfield partners Andreas Pereira and Sasa Lukic offering higher upside through set pieces.

JUNE 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet defensively Berge had two tackles (two won) in Sunday's 3-2 win versus Liverpool.

Impact Berge made a pair of tackles during Sunday's win, putting in a solid shift in central midfield. The midfielder has been a rock-solid part of the starting XI when fit and available and has started every single Premier League match since returning from injury in mid-January. Berge should continue to play a sizeable role moving forward.

APRIL 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting at Leicester Berge (ankle) is in the starting XI for Saturday's trip to Leicester.

Impact Berge returns after missing Fulham's past four matches due to an ankle injury. A regular starter when fit, Berge returns to the starting XI immediately sending Tom Cairney to the bench.

JANUARY 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available once again Berge (ankle) is available once again and should be an option to face Leicester City on Saturday, manager Marco Silva told media Thursday.

Impact Berge has missed the last five games, and his return will add another body in midfield. It's unclear if he'll return to the XI right away, but the Norwegian will likely compete with Sasa Lukic for a regular role in midfield alongside either Andreas Pereira or Tom Cairney.

JANUARY 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Late call to face West Ham Berge (anke) is a late call for Tuesday's match against West Ham, according to manager Marco Silva, according to Sam Tabuteau of The Borough of Hounslow Herald. "We have to assess,...

Impact Berge looks to be a late call for Tuesday's match, facing a fitness test ahead of the match to decide his availability. This will hopefully end his four-match absence due to an ankle injury. He has started in his past five appearances but is uncertain about seeing that spot immediately if fit, more likely to see a bench spot to test his legs before seeing a start again.
