Jean-Philippe Mateta
28-Year-Old
Crystal Palace
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mateta got off to a slow start in his first full season under Oliver Glasner, and then he caught fire for a few months before finishing slow after busting his nose in March. Along with Crystal Palace as a whole, he tended to score his 14 goals in bunches, including three braces last season. Mateta isn't likely to push any of the elite strikers in the Premier League or top 20 goals, but with a strong attack built around him he should be a solid option for double-digit goals once more. No matter what happens in the squad around him, Mateta's role is as a true No. 9 who can score in a variety of ways.
Scores opener
Mateta scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Thursday's 1-1 draw versus Fulham.
ANALYSIS
Mateta scored with his only shot of the match against Fulham on Thursday, heading home from a well-weighted Nathaniel Clyne delivery to end a five-match goal drought. The Frenchman remains his side's primary attacking outlet, having netted eight goals in 19 Premier League appearances this season, and his role as the team's penalty taker means he is always capable of delivering a goal contribution.
