Jefferson Lerma
31-Year-Old
Crystal Palace
Premier
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.
Starts after concussion
Lerma (concussion) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Sunderland.
ANALYSIS
Lerma returns to the starting lineup after being cleared from concussion protocol ahead of Saturday's match against the Black Cats. He had missed the club's previous outing due to the head injury but is now fully available again. With the defender fit, he resumes his role in the starting XI after previously holding that spot before being sidelined.
