Emile Smith Rowe
26-Year-Old
Fulham
Premier
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Smith Rowe's second season at Fulham was a step backwards. The talent that made him a teenage star at Arsenal still flashes, and he's a starting-caliber No. 10 when fit, but the output dried up in 2025/26, with three goals and, remarkably, zero assists across 29 appearances. For a player whose whole game is supposed to be creativity, a full season without an assist is a real red flag. He's still only 25, and there's now a new manager to win over, with Alvaro Arbeloa replacing Marco Silva, which adds another layer of uncertainty to his role. You're betting on a bounce-back here rather than buying anything proven, so he's a late flier in deeper formats if he nails down the 10 spot, but the numbers don't justify more than that yet.
Back on bench
Smith Rowe (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Burnley.
ANALYSIS
Smith Rowe is named on the bench for Saturday's clash against the Clarets after missing the previous match due to an injury suffered in training last week. He returned to training with the group during the week but is eased back into action as a substitute option. He will likely still feature later in the game depending on how it unfolds.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Palace ready to submit bid
Crystal Palace are ready to bid £30 million for Smith Rowe, according to Talksport.
ANALYSIS
Smith Rowe barely played for Arsenal during the 2023/24 season, and that's not expected to change in 2024/25, either, so it seems a move away from the Emirates is the best move for his career. Palace are leading the race for the playmaker, but other teams are expected to sneak into a potential bidding war, too.
