Marcus Edwards
27-Year-Old
Burnley
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Edwards joined Burnley on loan for the second half of the Championship campaign and immediately took a significant role. He played in 14 matches (starting 12) and seemingly became the guy on the wing despite no goals or assists in his final nine starts. Even with seemingly a set starting role in this group, Burnley's system didn't prove to be fruitful for his fantasy output. Still, any starter is worth considering in fantasy circles and if Burnley have a favorable run of fixtures, there's no question his attacking numbers could improve.
Delivers assist on equalizer
Edwards assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against AFC Bournemouth.
ANALYSIS
Edwards was introduced in the 77th minute of Saturday's clash against the Cherries and immediately gave Burnley a different angle, holding width and looking early for runners at the back post. His defining moment came in stoppage time, when he shaped a curling cross to the far post that Armando Broja converted for the equaliser. With Burnley producing only four total shot attempts, his one moment of quality delivery changed the final outcome. Edwards has only been a bench option this season but continues to make a decent impact late in games, as he contributed to one chance created in each of his last four appearances for the Clarets.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Everton showing interest
Everton are interested in signing Edwards, according to Caught Offside.
ANALYSIS
Everton could use another winger to add depth to their attacking line, and Edwards would be an absolute success in the Premier League following his recent displays in Europe. The former Tottenham prospect is keen on returning to England, but it's unclear if a deal will get done before the end of the January transfer window.
