Jean-Philippe Mateta
28-Year-Old
Crystal Palace
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mateta got off to a slow start in his first full season under Oliver Glasner, and then he caught fire for a few months before finishing slow after busting his nose in March. Along with Crystal Palace as a whole, he tended to score his 14 goals in bunches, including three braces last season. Mateta isn't likely to push any of the elite strikers in the Premier League or top 20 goals, but with a strong attack built around him he should be a solid option for double-digit goals once more. No matter what happens in the squad around him, Mateta's role is as a true No. 9 who can score in a variety of ways.
Scores header in win
Mateta scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 win over West Ham United.
ANALYSIS
Mateta rose above the jostling bodies Saturday to scramble home the ball with his head from close range as he opened the scoring for Crystal Palace in their 2-1 victory over West Ham United. Through their first five fixtures, Palace's talented striker has amassed seven shots on target, with at least one on target in each of his five appearances, and two goals. Mateta has also contributed to the team's defensive effort as they've sought to close ranks in late stages of close matches, as evidenced by his 13 clearances this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Keen on Aston Villa switch?

ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old French striker has been linked with a move away from Palace for quite some time. Even though he has no interest in a move to Leeds United, it's worth noting he'd be open to joining Aston Villa in the coming months. Don't be surprised if the Midlands club makes a move for the French striker in January.
