Lucas Paqueta
27-Year-Old
West Ham United
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Paqueta had a year to forget across the board, managing just four goals without an assist in 2024/25. He still created 36 chances, so it's not that he wasn't getting involved in attacking moves, but finishing proved to be an issue throughout the team. Paqueta still shot the ball at a similar rate to previous years (41 times last season), but his role changed no matter the manager, and that led to some starts as a false none and others as a defensive midfielder. If used correctly in a team that has the talent to improve, Paqueta could get back to the 10 goal contributions he had two seasons ago.
Scores screamer against Chelsea
Paqueta scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 5-1 defeat versus Chelsea.
ANALYSIS
For the 2025-26 Premier League, West Ham maintained Paqueta. At least temporarily, he rewarded the Hammers. Fewer than seven minutes into the game, Paqueta scored outside Chelsea's penalty box, shortly before they lost their grip. In terms of goals, he is consistent, with each of West Ham's previous three seasons including his four scored. Considering that Paqueta's latest appearances feature one goal, him surpassing the four-goal tally this season looks more promising than usual.
