Adam Wharton
21-Year-Old
Crystal Palace
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wharton went from the Championship to the Premier League in February 2024 and has already established himself as one of the best in the country at 21 years old. The midfielder doesn't have a lot of offensive upside in this Palace system, but when fit he's a constant in the starting XI, cycling possession and occasionally taking set pieces. Wharton struggled with a hip injury throughout last season, but he got a surgery to hopefully correct the issue permanently. If he can put together a fully healthy season, Wharton would be in line for regular starts with more appearances on the scoresheet a likelihood after compiling 13 shots and 26 chances in 20 appearances (16 starts) last season.
Productive in Sunday's loss
Wharton recorded three shots (one on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Tottenham Hotspur.
ANALYSIS
Wharton put together a good performance Sunday, but it wasn't enough to help his side score a goal or earn a point. He recorded a season-high seven crosses, tied a season high with three shots and created multiple chances for the seventh time this season. On the defensive end he won five duels and recorded one tackle, one interception and one clearance in his full 90 minutes. Although he has just two goal contributions on the season, he consistently fills up the stat sheet on both ends of the pitch.

He's not completely free. Sometimes you need to cough it out. I hope this will happen now. Let's see. It was good for him to play 30 minutes. I think he did better and better during the game. If it's enough to start against Brighton, I don't know at the moment."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chelsea looking at him
Chelsea are looking to bolster their midfield depth in January, and Wharton is one of the top options they're targeting, according to The Telegraph.
ANALYSIS
Chelsea need to sign at least one midfielder to operate as a reliable backup behind Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez. Wharton could easily compete for a starting role, but it's unclear if Palace will entertain offers for the England international midway through the season. Wharton is likely to leave the club next summer, though.
