Fulham FPL fixture outlook: next 6 gameweeks analysed

Fixture summary

Fulham only have three fixtures left, but the schedule is workable for FPL. They face Bournemouth at home in GW36, Wolves away in GW37 and Newcastle at home in GW38. That gives them an average FDR of 2.67, with two home matches and one away trip. On paper, that is a decent run for managers looking for short-term picks rather than season-long holds.

The standout stretch is clearly GW36 to GW37. Bournemouth at Craven Cottage and Wolves away are both fixtures where Fulham can be competitive at both ends. Wolves carries an FDR of 2, the easiest game in this run, and Bournemouth at home is a reasonable attacking spot with an FDR of 3. Newcastle in GW38 is still only rated 3, but it is the least attractive of the three because of Newcastle’s attacking ceiling.

Overall, this is not a fixture run that screams captaincy or triple-up territory, but it is good enough to support one or two Fulham assets, especially budget-friendly options.

FPL implications by position

Goalkeepers and defenders look like the clearest route in. Bernd Leno at £4.9m has 111 points and comes in with 5.5 form, which is strong for a keeper in this price range. With Bournemouth and Wolves up first, save volume plus a realistic clean-sheet chance gives him a solid floor. Joachim Andersen also stands out. At £4.5m, with 125 points and 5.2 form, he offers strong value and has been the most productive Fulham defender on the season numbers. Bassey is cheaper at £4.4m, with 93 points and 4.0 form, and works if you want a pure budget route.

Fulham’s attackers are less convincing. Harry Wilson remains their top-scoring FPL asset listed here, with 161 points at just £5.9m, but his current 2.2 form suggests the season total is doing more work than the recent output. Raul Jimenez at £6.0m has 110 points, but 1.5 form is hard to back for a final sprint. Alex Iwobi is even colder, with 98 points and just 0.8 form.

If you want a midfield punt, Sessegnon is probably the most interesting differential. He is only £5.4m, has 95 points, and his 3.8 form is noticeably better than most of Fulham’s attacking options. Berge, at £4.9m with 87 points and 1.8 form, looks more like a bench enabler than an active buy.

Buy / hold / sell windows

Buy now, if you are targeting Fulham’s defence. Leno and Andersen are both viable ahead of GW36, and they remain holds through the Wolves fixture in GW37. If you need a cheaper route, Bassey is acceptable.

Hold Wilson if you already own him and do not have a more pressing transfer. Bournemouth and Wolves are decent enough to give him one last chance, but this is more about fixtures than form.

Wait or avoid most of the attackers as new buys. Raul, Iwobi and Berge do not have the recent numbers to justify a transfer, even with a fair schedule. Sessegnon is the one exception if you are chasing rank and need a low-owned midfielder with some upside.

Sell after GW37 is a reasonable plan for Fulham defensive assets if you are using free transfers aggressively. Newcastle in GW38 is not a disaster, but it is the point where Fulham’s appeal drops relative to teams with stronger final-day upside.

Verdict

Own the defence, fade most of the attack, wait on punts unless chasing. Fulham’s average FDR of 2.67 and two home fixtures make them relevant, but mostly as a value team rather than a target for heavy investment. Leno and Andersen are the best picks on both season points and recent form, with 5.5 and 5.2 respectively. Wilson is the only attacker with enough historical output to keep in the conversation, but his 2.2 form makes him more of a hold than a buy. For most managers, one Fulham defender is enough exposure for the final weeks.
