2025 Fantasy Outlook
Nmecha is an interesting bet on upside for Leeds United, who are hoping he can get back to some of the goalscoring he had early with Wolfsburg. Significant injuries kept him off the pitch for much of the last two seasons, and he was unable to earn a major role even once back to full fitness. Prior to those injury concerns, he had established himself as one of the promising young strikers in Germany. He doesn't have a guaranteed role with Leeds, but he should get chances in the Premier League. That said, a lot of those early chances will likely be off the bench, limiting his usefulness early in the campaign.

Late call against Fulham
Nmecha is dealing with a foot knock and will be a late call for Saturday's clash against Fulham, coach Daniel Farke said in the press conference. "Lukas got a hit on his foot and missed training yesterday. We'll have to wait to see how he reacts in the next 48 hours."
ANALYSIS
Nmecha received a hit on his foot and didn't train on Wednesday for that reason. The striker will be a late call for Saturday's game against the Cottagers, with Noah Okafor as a possible replacement if he misses the game.
