There are a crazy amount of variables for the remaining European positions due to English teams looking likely to win UEFA competitions, so Fulham are still in with a shot and will want to boost their chances as much as possible. There will be some dead rubbers in the coming weeks, I’m not expecting this to be of that kind!
Ryan Sessegnon looked extremely promising in his breakout season way back in 17/18, but has had a real tough run with injuries hindering any progress since. He seems to have shaken that off and has started the last 4 matches for Fulham, fouling 3,1,3,1 in that time. He has had consistent numbers off the bench this season also, averaging 2.44p90. Sessegnon is versatile and can play LB or either wing, so can’t guarantee a match up here but his fouling numbers in either position look solid enough. Villa have some great foul drawing players across their side, so Sessegnon’s position doesn’t worry me.
Big Bassey has seen a nice trend in fouling lately, with the Nigerian fouling 2,2,1,2,1,1,1 across his last 7. 1+ at 1.72 at Bet365 is lovely, but slightly too short to single. have provided another longshot below. Kamara has been great for Villa when fit, and much to our delight, the big man loves getting in about it! He has fouled 2,2,2,2,1,1,3 across his last 7.
