2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lukic had a quiet 2024/25 campaign, as he failed to score a goal despite making 28 starts, his most since 2021/22 with Torino. He still served an important role in defensive midfield and showed signs of being a creator with 26 chances created and 62 crosses (22 accurate), mostly due to an on-and-off set-piece role. Lukic looks set to be part of Fulham's starting XI again next season, but that will likely not translate into him being a reliable fantasy option. With only three goal contributions in 66 Premier League appearances, he's clearly not much of a threat going forward and is often substituted off early which denies him the chance of earning clean sheets. Even though he should again start most matches, most of his fantasy production comes from the defensive variety.
Set to miss four to six weeks
Lukic suffered an adductor injury in Friday's 3-1 loss against Bournemouth and will be sidelined for four to six weeks, Serbia coach Dragan Stojkovic said in a press conference, according to Sam Tabuteau of The Standard. "Lukic has an injury to the adductor of his left leg, with a break between four and six weeks."
ANALYSIS
Lukic was forced off in the 14th minute of Friday's defeat against the Cherries due to an adductor injury and is expected to miss between four and six weeks while recovering from the issue. This is a big blow for the Cottagers since he has started and played most of the full 90 minutes this season. His absence will likely open the door for Tom Cairney to see an increased role in the midfield under coach Marco Silva.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Roma want him
Roma are interested in signing Lukic and are pushing to complete a move during the January transfer window, according to Calciomercato.
ANALYSIS
Roma want to bolster their midfield depth and Lukic could be an attractive option since he can play in several different positions. Il Toro are asking for €15 million, though, so Roma can either try to lower that figure or add another player in potential negotiations.
