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.
Headed to AFCON
Bassey is departing Fulham to link up with Nigeria for AFCON.
ANALYSIS
Bassey will miss at least a few weeks with his national team and could be absent even longer with Nigeria expected to make a deep run. Bassey's absence is a huge blow in the starting XI, likely bringing Jorge Cuenca into a consistent starting role. Bassey started all but one match he was fit for before AFCON, and went the full 90 every time he started.
