Jefferson Lerma
31-Year-Old
Crystal Palace
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lerma's second season with Crystal Palace wasn't too different than his first. He was a consistent part of the first team, slotting into the team in holding midfield and occasionally as a center-back in the back three. He has little upside in either role, creating just 10 chances and putting eight shots on goal last season. Most of his fantasy relevant stats are of the defensive variety while appearances on the score sheet are rare in this Palace formation.
Completes 62 passes
Lerma registered one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 1-0 victory against Ghana.
ANALYSIS
Lerma was on the field for the entire match Friday as Colombia earned the win. He would not see his most productive day, as the midfielder only recorded a cross and a chance created. He still has yet to miss a start this World Cup, as he appears set to remain a starter for the round of 16. However, he is more of a defensive midfielder, cutting his value quite a bit.
