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.
Should be fine going forward
Dunk is expected to return to the XI going forward after coming off the bench in the 2-1 win against Brentford.
ANALYSIS
Dunk was dropped for a reported heel issue and possible illness, but he managed to go the final 45 in the win against Brentford. At full strength, he's gone the full 90 in every prior match this season and that's expected to be the case going forward. While he still doesn't have a shot on target, Brighton's defense has looked better in recent matches, allowing just one goal across three contests.
