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.
Active at both ends
Dunk had three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Fulham. He also recorded five clearances, three blocked shots and two interceptions.
ANALYSIS
Dunk is a steady target in set-piece situations and is also a solid outlet for defensive stats, so he tends to have a solid floor every time he's in the starting lineup. Even though the lack of clean sheets limits his upside, Dunk is a solid depth piece for the center-back role. He's racked up seven shots, 11 tackles, 16 interceptions, 35 clearances and 19 blocked shots over his last nine EPL appearances.
