Lewis Dunk
34-Year-Old
Brighton & Hove Albion
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Dunk completed a mediocre season alongside Jan Paul van Hecke as part of Brighton's central defense. He had a couple injuries throughout the 2024/25 season that resulted in 25 appearances (23 starts), contributing to just three clean sheets. In 2023/24, he started every game, and soon to be 34 years old, it's more likely he loses time than gains it. Following the signing of Diego Coppola, this could be the last season for Dunk on his final year of contract, which also means his minutes and starts could drop further, leading to some inconsistent fantasy performances.
Available against Sunderland
Dunk (knee) is back available for Saturday's clash against Sunderland, according to coach Fabian Hurzeler, per The Argus.
ANALYSIS
Dunk sat out the last matchup against Arsenal as a precaution due to some knee discomfort, but the defender has returned to full training with the Seagulls this week and will be an option from the opening whistle for Saturday's clash against Sunderland. That's a big boost for Albion, as Dunk has been a locked-in starter at the heart of the back line and his presence brings stability and leadership to the defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Rejected move to Forest
Dunk rejected the chance to join Nottingham Forest in the January transfer window, according to The Daily Mail.
ANALYSIS
Nottingham Forest wanted to sign Dunk in January and Brighton accepted an offer for the center-back, but it was Dunk who rejected the chance to move to the City Ground. Still, the fact that Brighton accepted an offer for their skipper suggests Dunk could be on the move in the summer.
