Connor Roberts
30-Year-Old
Burnley
The Championship
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Roberts played a big role in the Championship last season, starting 40 times and producing five goal contributions (two goals, three assists.) The defender was excellent for the most part in the second division, which has kind of been the story of his career. In the Premier League, he started 19 times in 2021/22 and eight times in 2023/24. Surrounding those season were massive Championship campaigns and now with Kyle Walker in the mix, Roberts could be set for another underwhelming season, the main worry if drafting him in fantasy leagues.
Returns after one year out
Roberts (strain) came off the bench for 29 minutes in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Romania, marking his return to senior football for the first time in almost a year, the club announced.
ANALYSIS
Roberts was all smiles in his return to the pitch as his long road back finally came to an end during Wales' summer friendly against Romania. His comeback is a major lift for both country and club, giving Wales an experienced presence again while putting Burnley in position to have him fully fit and ready to roll for the 2026/27 Championship campaign.
