Key strength: Pace and recovery
Overlapping full-back
At 30 years old, Kenny Tete has established himself as Marco Silva's trusted right-back at Fulham, where the Cottagers currently sit 12th in the Premier League. The Dutch international has amassed 18 appearances this season, clocking 1,445 minutes and contributing 1 goal—a notable return for a defensive-minded full-back. Tete brings €11 million of value to West London, justified by his versatility across the backline. His FIFA profile reveals a defensively disciplined player (62 defending, 57 physical) who prioritizes positional awareness over flashy attacking numbers—he has yet to register an assist this campaign. Operating in a competitive environment where Timothy Castagne also vies for minutes, Tete's consistent selection speaks to Silva's trust in his reliability. With four yellow cards earned along the way, he plays with the aggression expected of Premier League defenders. As Fulham navigate a challenging mid-table battle, Tete's experience and adaptability remain crucial assets in their quest for stability.
