Daichi Kamada
29-Year-Old
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.
Appears from bench, picks up yellow
Kamada generated one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Manchester City. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 81st minute.
ANALYSIS
Kamada came on for the final 15 minutes Wednesday after a starting role in the past three games, recording a shot and a cross to go along with a yellow card in his time on the field. He sees plenty of time but remains more of a defensive midfielder, still without a goal contribution this campaign.

Eyeing return against Brighton
Kamada (hamstring) is eyeing a return against Brighton, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "It looks like today or tomorrow we're doing a re-scan again, and if it looks quite good, he's more and more integrated, so the plan is that he has a full training week and should be available for Brighton if the scan is more or less okay - it won't be perfect, but okay."

Out a few weeks
Kamada (hamstring) is expected to miss a few weeks of action, according to manager Oliver Glasner, per Sam Tabuteau of The Standard. "It's his hamstring. We have to assess him. We have a scan tomorrow. It was just an incident. He over-stretched his knee, and his hamstring got a full stretch, full extension. It looks like we will miss him for a few weeks, but I think he did well, very well."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to leave Crystal Palace
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.
