Last updated: Gameweek 6 · September 29, 2026

Fulham fantasy tiers

Best Fulham fantasy assets

Josh King (Fulham, MID) is the standout Fulham fantasy pick in September 2026, ranking 36th overall in our model with 9.67 InfoSport Points per 90. He leads the squad with 2 goals scored and sits 2nd in expected goals at 1.54, while his 7 tackles add defensive volume in category-scoring leagues. King’s 15.59-point haul in gameweek 3 shows his ceiling when attacking returns and tackles align.

Castagne (Fulham, DEF)

Timothy Castagne ranks 51st overall with 9.05 points per 90, driven by defensive work rather than attacking output. His 23 clearances, blocks and interceptions tie for 1st in the Fulham squad, and his 2 assists lead all Fulham defenders. The combination of set-piece threat (0.39 xA) and six tackles makes him more valuable in Sleeper and Fantrax leagues than his 0.9% FPL ownership suggests.

Gonzalo (Fulham, FWD)

Gonzalo García sits 60th overall with 8.29 points per 90, anchored by the squad’s highest expected goals total at 2.33 across five matches. His 2.33 xG is 1st of 19 in the Fulham squad ranks, and his 0.58 xA ranks 3rd, positioning him as the primary attacking threat. At 85 expected minutes per match, he offers consistent volume for managers rostering Fulham forwards.

Set pieces and penalties

Gonzalo takes first-choice penalties for Fulham, followed by Robinson and Iwobi in the order. Alex Iwobi leads the corners and indirect free-kicks rotation, with Oscar Bobb second and Ryan Sessegnon third. Iwobi also takes direct free kicks. Fulham’s set-piece hierarchy provides clarity for category leagues where dead-ball deliveries generate tackle and interception opportunities.

Defensive value and clean-sheet outlook

Fulham’s clean-sheet record sits at two for most outfield players, with the squad conceding seven to eight goals depending on appearance minutes. Antonee Robinson leads the squad with 13 tackles (1st of 19), while Castagne and Calvin Bassey tie for 1st in clearances, blocks and interceptions at 23 each. David Affengruber posted 20 defensive actions despite appearing in only two of the last three matches, showing category-league upside when he plays 90 minutes.

The distribution of defensive volume across Fulham’s back line makes multiple defenders viable in deeper rosters. Shea Charles contributes 23 clearances, blocks and interceptions from midfield (tied 1st of 19), adding defensive production in leagues that reward midfielders for tackles and clearances. With eight goals conceded in five matches, Fulham’s clean-sheet probability remains moderate heading into a run of difficulty-two fixtures.

Fixture outlook

Fulham face three consecutive difficulty-two fixtures: Ipswich Town away in gameweek 6, Hull City at home in gameweek 7, and Coventry City away in gameweek 8. The schedule turns harder in gameweek 9 with Aston Villa away (difficulty three), Newcastle at home in gameweek 10 (difficulty three), and Manchester City away in gameweek 11 (difficulty five). The next three weeks offer the best window to deploy Fulham fantasy picks before the difficulty rises.

Players to avoid

Bernd Leno ranks 189th overall with 4.6 points per 90, making him the lowest-scoring regular starter in our model. Goalkeepers in the InfoSport Points system score only from saves, clean sheets and goals conceded, and Fulham’s eight goals conceded in five matches limit his floor. Ryan Sessegnon projects for only 10 expected minutes in gameweek 6, down from 11 minutes in gameweek 3, removing him from starting consideration.

Rodrigo Muniz sits at 7.6 expected minutes despite a squad-leading 16.84 points per 90, a rate built on limited sample size across 30 total minutes. His 0.4 xG ranks 6th of 19 in the squad, but managers need consistent playing time to capitalize on that efficiency.

Frequently asked questions

Who is the best Fulham player for fantasy?

Josh King is the best Fulham fantasy pick in our model, ranking 36th overall with 9.67 InfoSport Points per 90 and projecting for 9.13 points in gameweek 6. King leads the squad with 2 goals scored, sits 2nd in expected goals at 1.54, and adds 7 tackles across five appearances. His combination of attacking returns and defensive work makes him the clear top option for midfielders in category-scoring leagues.

Who takes penalties for Fulham?

Gonzalo García takes first-choice penalties for Fulham, followed by Antonee Robinson and Alex Iwobi in the order. Gonzalo has converted one goal this season and leads the squad with 2.33 expected goals across five matches, making him the primary penalty threat. Robinson ranks second in the order despite playing as a left-back, adding spot-kick upside to his 13 tackles and 18 clearances, blocks and interceptions.

Are Fulham defenders good fantasy picks?

Fulham defenders offer category-league value through defensive volume rather than clean sheets. Timothy Castagne ties for 1st in the squad with 23 clearances, blocks and interceptions while adding 2 assists and 6 tackles. Fulham conceded eight goals in five matches, limiting clean-sheet upside, but the defensive workload makes multiple Fulham defenders viable in deep leagues.

Bottom line

Josh King and Timothy Castagne are the priority Fulham fantasy picks heading into a three-match run of difficulty-two fixtures, offering proven scoring floors through defensive work and attacking involvement. Gonzalo provides forward-eligible upside with the squad’s highest expected goals, while managers in deeper leagues can target David Affengruber and Oscar Bobb for category production when minutes stabilize.
