Marcus Edwards
26-Year-Old
Burnley
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Edwards joined Burnley on loan for the second half of the Championship campaign and immediately took a significant role. He played in 14 matches (starting 12) and seemingly became the guy on the wing despite no goals or assists in his final nine starts. Even with seemingly a set starting role in this group, Burnley's system didn't prove to be fruitful for his fantasy output. Still, any starter is worth considering in fantasy circles and if Burnley have a favorable run of fixtures, there's no question his attacking numbers could improve.
Starts, assists in cup
Edwards provided one assist during Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Cardiff City in the Carabao Cup.
ANALYSIS
Edwards made his second appearance of the season, and his first start. Minutes have been hard to come by for Edwards in the Premier League, but he made the most of his chance in the cup. He was the best player in claret on the pitch, setting up the only goal. Edwards will likely need injuries to get run in the starting XI in the Premier League.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Everton showing interest
Everton are interested in signing Edwards, according to Caught Offside.
ANALYSIS
Everton could use another winger to add depth to their attacking line, and Edwards would be an absolute success in the Premier League following his recent displays in Europe. The former Tottenham prospect is keen on returning to England, but it's unclear if a deal will get done before the end of the January transfer window.
