Daichi Kamada

29-Year-Old Forward/MidfielderF/M
Crystal Palace
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kamada was a bit of a disappointment in his first season with Crystal Palace after linking up again with manager Oliver Glasner, who got the best out of him offensively with Eintracht Frankfurt. He finished last season with no goal contributions in 34 appearances (15 starts), largely playing in a midfield pivot instead of his preferred role in attacking midfield. While his playing time increased later in the season, it was mostly in a deeper role that didn't lead to much offensively. For him to produce goals or assists, he'll need to play a different role in the squad.
Option from bench

February 8, 2026
Kamada (hamstring) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Brighton.
ANALYSIS
Kamada is back in the team sheet Sunday after some time out with a hamstring injury, ending over a month-long absence. He will now look to find his way back into the team sheet after testing his legs, starting in every appearance leading up to his injury.

Kamada (hamstring) is eyeing a return against Brighton, according to manager Oliver Glasner.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to leave Crystal Palace
F/MCrystal Palace
February 10, 2026
Kamada is set to leave Crystal Palace in the summer, according to Sky Sports.
ANALYSIS
Kamada's deal at Selhurst Park will expire at the end of the 2025/26 season, and there are no talks between the player and Palace to extend it further. Kamada has struggled to earn a steady role with the Eagles, so it's not entirely surprising to see the Japan international heading in another direction in the summer.
