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.
Assists in win
Wharton assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Fulham.
ANALYSIS
Wharton hasn't been a huge offensive contributor in holding midfield, but he made the most of his chances during Sunday's win. He took a pair of corners and added a single assist. His lone shot was off target, and despite the assist here, Wharton remains a limited option offensively. Most of Wharton's upside will come from defensive contributions.
