Daichi Kamada
29-Year-Old
Crystal Palace
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kamada was a bit of a disappointment in his first season with Crystal Palace after linking up again with manager Oliver Glasner, who got the best out of him offensively with Eintracht Frankfurt. He finished last season with no goal contributions in 34 appearances (15 starts), largely playing in a midfield pivot instead of his preferred role in attacking midfield. While his playing time increased later in the season, it was mostly in a deeper role that didn't lead to much offensively. For him to produce goals or assists, he'll need to play a different role in the squad.
Still no goal contributions in draw
Kamada had five crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus AFC Bournemouth.
ANALYSIS
Kamada was active as a midfield playmaker Saturday, but with limited impact. 35 of his 39 passes were completed (90%) and he accurately placed eight of his nine long balls, however only one of his five crosses hit the target and he was unable to place any shots on goal. The regular starter is yet to make any goal contributions this season.
