2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bassey played the vast majority of Fulham's minutes this past season and contributed one goal and five clean sheets. He established himself as Marco Silva's first-choice center-back alongside Joachim Andersen, a role he's set to have again next season. Since he's not much of a threat going forward, he'll need to improve his clean sheet numbers to become a productive fantasy option. More cohesion is the hope between defense and midfield, but that's always hard to bet on. Expect similar numbers for Bassey in the new season where he plays a ton but doesn't provide overwhelming upside.
Busy in center-back role
Bassey produced two goals, 126 clearances, 56 tackles, 23 interceptions and 17 blocks in 37 matches played (36 starts) over the 2024/25 season.
ANALYSIS
Bassey saw plenty of action as a first-choice defender, maintaining a consistent level during his second full year in EPL. While his side finished in the middle of the table in terms of goals conceded, they had one of the lowest clean sheet totals, surpassing only the three relegated teams. Barring the arrival of a new signing to contend with him for the spot, Bassey could stay active next season as long as he continues to avoid physical and disciplinary issues, although he'll likely hold little clean sheet potential.
