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.
Picks up injury
Lerma was forced off in the 38th minute of Sunday's match against Newcastle due to an apparent injury.
ANALYSIS
Lerma would last until just before halftime Sunday before he finally had to leave the field, going down a few times before an injury ended his day. He was already covering for an injured Chris Richards (ankle), so this is something to monitor. He was replaced by Jaydee Convot, who will likely earn more time if he continues on the sidelines.
