It only took Fulham one year to return to the Premier League. The summer residents made their way to the Premier League through the playoffs, where they dealt with Brentford and Cardiff. Although at the start of the last campaign there were serious doubts that Fulham would be able to return to the elite in such a way. In the market “summer residents” did not spend much, limiting themselves to two transfers and two leases. Fulham loaned left-back Anthony Robinson to Wigan, while midfielder Mario Lemina came from Southampton. Fulham also bought another defensive midfielder from the Saints – Harrison Reed for € 9 million. From Brighton, the Londoners finally poached right winger Anthony Knockert, who had previously played for the club on loan. For the Frenchman the club laid out almost 12 million. Fulham finished last season with a stunning finish, losing just ten times in the past ten Championship matches. In the only friendly match before the start of the Premier League, Fulham drew with Milton Keynes Dons (2-2).
Lyon could not get a ticket to the European competition for the next season. The Weavers managed to play 28 rounds, during which they won 11 victories and finished seven games in peace, which brought 40 points – one point less than teams from the Europa League zone. The “aristocrats” have the second best line of attack, which managed to hit the opponent’s goal 42 times. The main goalscorers of the team are Dembele (16 goals) and Depay (9). After a brilliant performance in the final of the Champions League, where the aristocrats reached the semifinals, losing with a minimum score to the owner of the main club trophy in Europe, the children started the League1 tournament on a positive note, confidently beating Dijon (4:1), for which we made a forecast.
