2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wharton went from the Championship to the Premier League in February 2024 and has already established himself as one of the best in the country at 21 years old. The midfielder doesn't have a lot of offensive upside in this Palace system, but when fit he's a constant in the starting XI, cycling possession and occasionally taking set pieces. Wharton struggled with a hip injury throughout last season, but he got a surgery to hopefully correct the issue permanently. If he can put together a fully healthy season, Wharton would be in line for regular starts with more appearances on the scoresheet a likelihood after compiling 13 shots and 26 chances in 20 appearances (16 starts) last season.
Shown red card
Wharton was shown a red card in the 73rd minute of Sunday's match against Chelsea.
ANALYSIS
Wharton would see his marching orders after a second yellow card Sunday, receiving a first in the 67th before another just six minutes later. Unfortunately for the club, this is a major loss, as they will have to do without a midfielder who has yet to miss a start when fit. A change will then be made for their next contest, with Will Hughes and Jefferson Lerma likely to lead the midfield. Wharton will next be an option in league play when facing Brightion on Feb. 8.
