Jefferson Lerma
31-Year-Old
Crystal Palace
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lerma's second season with Crystal Palace wasn't too different than his first. He was a consistent part of the first team, slotting into the team in holding midfield and occasionally as a center-back in the back three. He has little upside in either role, creating just 10 chances and putting eight shots on goal last season. Most of his fantasy relevant stats are of the defensive variety while appearances on the score sheet are rare in this Palace formation.
First league assist
Lerma assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 win against Brentford.
ANALYSIS
Lerma stepped in for Adam Wharton (illness) for his second league start and made the most of it, registering his first assist and earning the Man of the Match award. He has created just two chances in eight appearances while attempting seven shots and four crosses. His role this season has largely been as a substitute in midfield and as defensive cover when required.
