Marcus Edwards
27-Year-Old
Burnley
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Edwards joined Burnley on loan for the second half of the Championship campaign and immediately took a significant role. He played in 14 matches (starting 12) and seemingly became the guy on the wing despite no goals or assists in his final nine starts. Even with seemingly a set starting role in this group, Burnley's system didn't prove to be fruitful for his fantasy output. Still, any starter is worth considering in fantasy circles and if Burnley have a favorable run of fixtures, there's no question his attacking numbers could improve.
Returns to bench
Edwards (back) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Bournemouth.
ANALYSIS
Edwards returns to the bench for Saturday's clash against Bournemouth after missing the last two matches with a back injury. The forward trained this week and is cleared to be part of the squad following his evaluation Friday. He had started six of his last seven appearances prior to the injury and now offers an attacking option off the bench, as he could feature later in the game depending on how it unfolds.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Everton showing interest
Everton are interested in signing Edwards, according to Caught Offside.
ANALYSIS
Everton could use another winger to add depth to their attacking line, and Edwards would be an absolute success in the Premier League following his recent displays in Europe. The former Tottenham prospect is keen on returning to England, but it's unclear if a deal will get done before the end of the January transfer window.
