Key strength: Work rate
Box-to-box midfielder
In his tenth year at Craven Cottage, Tom Cairney remains a steadying presence in Fulham's midfield despite the team navigating a mid-table 12th position. Now 34 and valued at a modest €1m, the Scottish veteran has featured in just 360 minutes across 5 appearances this season—yet his influence extends beyond the stat sheet. As a ball-playing midfielder renowned for his passing range and set-piece mastery, Cairney provides the technical quality that younger teammates like Sander Berge and Saša Lukić can learn from. With zero goals or assists in his limited 2024-25 campaign, his role has clearly shifted from starter to squad mentor, but his contract runs through 2026, suggesting Fulham still values his locker-room presence. For a club seeking consistency, Cairney's experience remains an asset worth preserving.
