Fantasy Premier League managers looking for value should consider Fulham's assets, according to analysis from the club's official website. The FPL Scout has highlighted several Cottagers after their opening performances in the 2026/27 season, with forward Gonzalo García standing out.
Fulham have teamed up with Fantasy Football Scout for the new campaign. The analysis arrives as Marco Silva's side seeks its first points, currently sitting 16th in the Premier League with zero points from two games and a goal difference of minus two.
Gonzalo García, priced at £6.0m, made an immediate impact on his Premier League debut. He scored and registered three shots, finishing Gameweek 1 with the highest expected goals (xG) tally among all Fulham players. He was also the only forward at his £6.0m price point to find the net. The FPL Scout said: "Good value in Gonzalo."
Timothy Castagne represents a budget defensive option at £4.5m. He provided two assists in the opening gameweek and has a strong record, with four attacking returns in his three career Gameweek 1 starts. Despite this, he is owned by just 0.4% of Fantasy managers. Fellow forward Josh King (£5.5m) also scored in Gameweek 1, recording three shots and creating one chance. He averaged a solid four points per start last season.
In defence, Jorge Cuenca (£4.5m) was the only Fulham player to return defensive contribution points in Gameweek 1. He made five clearances, three blocks, one tackle and one interception. The backline could be bolstered for the next match, with Joachim Andersen returning from suspension. Álvaro Arbeloa may also feature, offering managers another potential route into Fulham's defence. The team's injury situation, with Tom Cairney and Luc De Fougerolles currently sidelined, is detailed on our injuries page.
Fulham's next test is a home match against Crystal Palace on September 5th. Palace currently sit 18th in the table, making it a key opportunity for both sides. Fulham's Gameweek 2 opponents from the previous analysis, Sunderland, lost 2-1 at Ipswich Town in their opener. Nilson Angulo scored for the Black Cats, while Granit Xhaka provided an assist and earned two bonus points for his FPL owners.
Beyond Fulham, several players across the league saw significant transfer activity. Maxim De Cupyer (£4.5m) starred in Brighton's 4-0 win over Aston Villa, scoring, assisting, keeping a clean sheet and sharing bonus points. His price is expected to rise before the Gameweek 2 deadline. Mamadou Sangare (£5.5m) made a spectacular Premier League debut for Brentford, providing two assists and making 13 defensive contributions in just 75 minutes. Over 200,000 managers have already added him to their teams.
Riccardo Calafiori (£5.5m) is now the most-owned defender after a clean sheet and assist for his club against Coventry City. Arsenal's Martin Odegaard (£6.5m) is also among the most-transferred in players; he scored and claimed maximum bonus points in Gameweek 1, hinting at a return to his 186-point haul from the 2023/24 season. Fulham's full fixtures list shows they face Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage this Saturday.
