Connor Roberts

Key strength: Crossing and overlapping runs from the right flank

Attacking Full-Back

At 30 years old, Welsh international Connor Roberts finds himself at a career crossroads. Languishing in 19th place in the table, Burnley are mired in a relegation scrap where every point matters—yet they're forced to navigate this crucial period without their experienced right-back. Roberts, valued at €3.5 million, is sidelined with a knee injury that threatens to keep him out until January 2026, a devastating blow for both player and club. Across his career, the attacking full-back has built an impressive résumé: 371 appearances, 21 goals, and 31 assists—a testament to his trademark overlapping runs and dangerous crossing from the right flank. His well-rounded ability (rated 70 across all key attributes) has made him a reliable presence for Burnley since signing a contract extension through 2027. While Oliver Sonne deputizes in defense, Roberts watches from the sidelines, knowing his 30,033 minutes of experience could prove vital in Burnley's desperate fight for survival. The coming months will test his patience—and his team's resolve.
