2025 Fantasy Outlook
Munoz was an easy pick last season to be one of the breakout players in the Premier League and he did just that. In a system that gives him freedom to bomb forward, Munoz went wild with four goals and five assists as one of the best attacking full-backs in the league. He started 37 matches and has started almost every match under manager Oliver Glasner since he joined February 2024. As long as Glasner remains in charge at Palace, there's no reason to doubt Munoz will continue as one of the most productive full-backs in England, essentially operating as a winger in a 3-4-2-1 formation.
Option for Sunday
Munoz (knee) is an option for Sunday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Oliver Galsner. "Dani came back at the beginning of the week. Dani was so pleased that he can train with us again - helped the team to change the mood, and this was really great to see."
ANALYSIS
Munoz was already eyeing a return against Chelsea around a week ago, but that has been confirmed this week, as the midfielder has now trained for the past week. This is massive news for the club after a month and a half without their starter on the right flank, starting in all 14 of his appearances while recording five goal contributions. That said, he should return to that role almost immediately, sending Nathaniel Clyne (groin) back to the bench.
