Fulham team
Fulham have been one of the standout clubs in terms of getting their transfers done. They have signed some top quality players, all of whom seem destined to fit in their manager’s system. The arrivals of Jean Michael Seri, Andre Schurrle, Fabri and now Aleksandr Mitrovic, signals the Premier League newcomers’ intentions to not just add up the numbers in top-flight football.
In fact, they are looking good for a top-half finish if Slavisa Jokanovic manages the players in the right manner and makes them play together in a deadly combination.
So, let’s take a look at how this Fulham squad will lineup, come the new season:
The experienced goalkeeper was bought this summer to add reliability at the back, as the Spaniard is more comfortable in a physical game, which will suit the Premier League.
Following Ryan Fredericks’ departure to West Ham, Christie is expected to start as the right-back for the Cottagers.
Ream is a leader at the back for the team and pulls them together in difficult circumstances. He is also a good and secured defender.
It was Tomas Kalas, a loanee from Chelsea, who partnered Ream last season but his departure means Odoi will start this season. The Belgian is an experienced defender who will relish this opportunity to play in the Premier League.
Marchand is a versatile defender bought from Nice, who can play either as a left-back or centre-back. He is a solid defender and is always looking to make forays up the pitch.
McDonald signed a new deal this summer and it was richly deserved for a player who always gives his all on the pitch for the club.
Seri can become a solid player if he can adapt to the new league quickly. And, with him playing for Fulham in the midfield, they have the ability to win the midfield battles against most of the premier league clubs if not all.
The captain has been fantastic for the club and is expected to diligently lead this talented side on the pitch. He is a quality player and is ready to showcase his prowess on the big stage.
The summer recruit from Borussia Dortmund is one of the best wingers in the world with bags of qualities and he will be a real asset. For just a mention, Schurrle was also a World Cup winner in 2014.
The signing of Marchand means Sessegnon can play much higher up on the left-wing. The young prodigy has been a sensation and is expected to take the Premier League by storm this season.
Mitrovic was key for Fulham last season when he was a loanee from Newcastle United. However, with the Serb signing a permanent deal, we will see more goals coming from him this season.
