Issa Diop - Excellent defensively Diop had five clearances, four interceptions and three blocks in Saturday's 1-0 win against Brighton.

Impact Diop was an excellent defender across Fulham's first three of four February games the team has played so far. He logged 15 clearances, seven interceptions and four blocks. Diop will have the opportunity to help Fulham log a clean month, and all he has to do is ensure the team maintains one more clean-sheet win Friday versus Wolverhampton.

Bernd Leno - Seven-save clean sheet Leno recorded seven saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Brighton.

Impact Unlike his previous two February appearances, the Fulham team needed much action from Leno on Saturday. Even so, he prevented the opposition from scoring any goals past him. Leno has 10 saves and three clean sheets across that many appearances he has logged this month. He will look to conclude a perfect February, which is highly possible now more than ever, as Wolverhampton visits Fulham on Friday.

Willian - Starting against Brighton Willian is fit and in the starting Xi for Saturday's match against Brighton.

Impact Willian is good to go after passing a late fitness test from a calf injury. The attacker will help lead the line with the absence of Aleksandar Mitrovic from Saturday's lineup.

FEBRUARY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Aleksandar Mitrovic - Out with knock Mitrovic is not in the match day squad to face Brighton on Saturday due to injury.

Impact Mitrovic misses out on Saturday's match after being deemed not fully fit following last week's match with Nottingham Forest. The forward is a massive miss for Fulham with his 11 league goals leading the club.

Aleksandar Mitrovic - Fighting through injury Mitrovic still isn't 100 percent, though he made it 84 minutes and took seven shots in the 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Mitrovic has dealt with a foot issue since the World Cup and it still seems to be bugging him. That being the case, it's not enough to keep him out of the squad and it's expected he'll remain in the starting XI unless the injury gets worse. Of note, he's failed to score on 13 shots in his last four starts with only two of those shots being on target.

Willian - Late test Saturday Willian (calf) is considered a late-fitness test for Saturday's match against Brighton, according to manager Marco Silva.

Impact This isn't too helpful of an update on Willian, who has started every match for Fulham since October. If he's forced to miss out, Harry Wilson and Manor Solomon are options to step into the XI, though the loss of Willain is a definite downgrade for the attacking potential, given the form he's been on this season.

Manor Solomon - Scores goal Solomon scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Solomon has a Premier League goal now. Since playing against Hull City in the FA Cup, he has participated in four of Fulham's five games from Jan. 12 to Feb. 11. Solomon played 50 minutes during the four-game span and is expected to continue being a backup option.

Willian - Scores goal, suffers injury Willian scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest. He was injured and...

Impact Willian scored the first of Fulham's two goals. But according to Peter Rutzler of The Athletic, he felt something in his calf during the game's second half. The midfielder's next opportunity to play will be at Brighton & Hove Albion on Feb. 18. Until further notice is given about his calf, Willian's availability status will be a game-time decision that day.

Andreas Pereira - Assist vs. Nottingham Forest Pereira assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), seven crosses (four accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Pereira logged a perfect assist to a goal from Manor Solomon, who was so open that he took a couple of seconds to shoot without any defenders in front of him. The playmaking midfielder has two assists across his last three Premier League appearances at Craven Cottage.

FEBRUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Antonee Robinson - Eleven crosses, three interceptions Robinson generated 11 crosses (three accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest.

Impact Robinson was highly active during Fulham's latest game, taking advantage of a relatively weak Forest defense to attempt more than 10 crosses for the first time since October 2022. Though the left-back failed to log an assist, he compensated for its lack defensively by helping Fulham maintain a clean sheet.

FEBRUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tim Ream - Excellent defensively Ream had two tackles (one won), four clearances and three interceptions in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Defensively, Ream was Fulham's best player in the clean-sheet win Saturday. Since signing his 2022 contract extension, he has logged 27 clearances and 13 interceptions across seven appearances.

FEBRUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bernd Leno - One-save clean sheet Leno made one save and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Serge Aurier logged Nottingham Forest's only on-goal shot, which Leno saved. He is off to an excellent start in February. Leno maintained a clean sheet during both of his first two appearances, a rate that reckons promising fantasy consideration before the Fulham team visits Brighton & Hove Albion on Feb. 18.

Antonee Robinson - Keeps clean sheet in draw Robinson made two clearances, five interceptions and won two of two tackles in last week's 0-0 draw against Chelsea.

Impact Robinson has started every single Premier league game which he's been available for, with six clean sheets and 11 chances created from left-back for Fulham.

Tom Cairney - Out against Forest Cairney (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's match against Nottingham Forest, according to manager Marco Silva.

Impact Cairney will miss at least one match and it could be more, though Silva didn't dive into the specifics of the issue suffered midweek. It's the first league match of the season Cairney will miss and that could mean Luke Harris is the first defensive midfielder on the bench for Fulham, which could end up changing Silva's substitution strategy.

FEBRUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Harrison Reed - Good for Saturday Reed (knee) is available for Saturday's match against Nottingham Forest, according to manager Marco Silva.

Impact It's a positive update on Reed, who was in danger of missing Saturday's contest with a knee tweak. His presence allows Fulham to keep their same starting XI in a winnable spot against Forest. With Tom Cairney out, the midfield depth is a bit thin, as Luke Harris could be the first one off the bench if Reed or Joao Palhinha have to leave early, unless newcomer Sasa Lukic is ready to feature.

FEBRUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Harrison Reed - Twists knee midweek Reed came off the bench and twisted his knee late in Wednesday's FA Cup win, according to manager Marco Silva. "He twisted his knee a little bit, so let's see in the next few days....

Impact Reed is now in danger of missing Saturday's match, which could lead to some tweaking for Fulham in the midfield, especially with Tom Cairney also dealing with an injury. Reed has started all but one league match this season and if Cairney is out, Luke Harris could be next in line, as he started as a defensive midfielder Wednesday.
