Lucas Paqueta
28-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.
Starting against Forest
Pauqeta (back) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's match against Nottingham Forest.
ANALYSIS
Paqueta was set for further assessment but is no longer injured and appears to be on the right side of the injury, as the attacker is an option from the starting XI immediately. The Brazilian has started in al 18 of his appearances this season while recording four goals and one assist.
