The Cottagers endured a difficult start to the campaign but have recently found their feet, winning their last two league games against Hull City and Coventry City to move up the Premier League standings.

Both Nigerian internationals have played important roles in Fulham’s performances this season, with their contributions helping the London club improve their results and build momentum.

The Cottagers have also undergone a major change in the dugout, with Marco Silva leaving his position as head coach and former Real Madrid manager Alvaro Arbeloa taking over the role. 

Iwobi and Bassey have continued to establish themselves as important members of the squad, and their performances have now been reflected in the individual player ratings.

Fulham’s highest-rated Premier League players in 2026/27: Where Iwobi and Bassey rank

According to ratings published by StatMuse, Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi is currently Fulham’s highest-rated player in the Premier League this season, with an average rating of 7.87 across his eight appearances.

The 29-year-old has featured in every league game for the Cottagers and has already contributed a goal to their campaign. He found the back of the net in Fulham’s 1-0 victory over Hull City on October 17, scoring the only goal to secure their first league win of the season.

Iwobi has also accumulated 657 minutes of playing time, making him one of the most regularly used players in the squad. 

He sits comfortably above the other players on the rankings, with summer signing Shea Charles occupying second place with an average rating of 7.25.

Charles joined Fulham from Southampton during the summer and has made an encouraging start to life at Craven Cottage. 

Josh King is third on the list with an average rating of 7.15, while Sander Berge occupies fourth place with 6.94.

Defender Dario Affengruber completes the top five with a rating of 6.82, alongside Iwobi’s Super Eagles teammate Calvin Bassey, who is also rated 6.82.

Although Bassey is some distance behind Iwobi in the rankings, his performances have been equally important to Fulham’s efforts this season.

The Nigerian defender has featured in every Premier League game and has played every minute of the campaign so far. He is the only outfield player, alongside goalkeeper Bernd Leno, to have maintained a complete record of playing time for the club.

Bassey has also taken on the responsibility of captaining the side, underlining his importance to the team. His defensive strength, composure on the ball and ability to contribute during build-up play have made him a key figure at the back.

His consistency has been very important as Fulham look to improve their defensive performances and become more difficult to beat under their new manager.

What next for the Super Eagles duo?

Fulham will be targeting a third consecutive Premier League victory when they travel to face Aston Villa on Saturday.

The Cottagers will head into the encounter with renewed confidence following their back-to-back victories over Coventry City and Hull City, but they face a difficult test against an Aston Villa side that will be eager to secure all three points.

Iwobi and Bassey, who both rank among Fulham’s most valuable players, are expected to remain important figures as Fulham look to extend their winning run and continue climbing the league table.

Iwobi will be focused on making another appearance to close the gap on Kolo Toure as the African footballer with the most appearances in the Premier League.

Bassey, meanwhile, will be looking to continue his impressive run of consistency at the back and help the team secure another positive result. Having played every minute of Fulham’s league campaign so far, the Super Eagles defender will be keen to maintain that record while continuing to provide leadership and solidity at the back.
