2025 Fantasy Outlook
Muniz disappointed a bit this past season, failing to crack 1,000 minutes from his 31 appearances (eight starts). His per-90 numbers are great since he still bagged eight goals, but Marco Silva clearly preferred Raul Jimenez at the top of the attack more often. There's a chance Jimenez doesn't get as much run at 34 years old, which would allow more pitch time for Muniz, as the two rarely, if ever, play together. If Muniz gets the minutes, he's shown the last two seasons that he'll produce, which is more than a lot of forwards can say.

Unlikely rest of season
Muniz (Achilles) isn't expected to return this season, according to manager Marco Silva. "Not for this game, not for the next one. It's going to be difficult for the rest of the season. The news is not good."
ANALYSIS
Muniz is unlikely to return this season, but Silva didn't mention anything about a long-term injury, which is at least a positive. If he ruptured his Achilles, that likely would've been reported at some point this season. For now, it's a minor Achilles problem that will keep Muniz out the rest of the season, leading to more minutes for Raul Jimenez. Muniz managed eight goals in less than 1,000 minutes this season, as Jimenez became the No. 1 striker.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Fulham determined to keep him
Fulham are determined to keep Muniz around, according to Fulham reporter Jack Kelly.
ANALYSIS
Muniz has been linked with a move away from Fulham in the summer, as the Brazilian wants to be a first-choice striker and not a backup, as he was in the 2024/25 season. Leeds United want to sign him, but Fulham are reluctant to let him leave. In fact, they'd be open to signing him to a new contract that would allow him a bigger role, and better wages, to keep him at Craven Cottage.
