The manager and the style of play
Manager
Álvaro Arbeloa
In charge since July 2026
A disciplined, defensively-minded 4-2-3-1 that drops into a 4-5-1 without the ball, built on tactical rigidity and low-risk distribution.
Marco Silva left for Benfica this summer; Arbeloa was hired to keep Fulham comfortably in the division.

Are Fulham FC a safe survivor pick?
Across the last 3 Premier League seasons — 2025/26 (11th), 2024/25 (11th), 2023/24 (14th) — Fulham FC avoided defeat in 59% of their league games. That is the baseline a survivor player should start from before looking at this week's fixture.
This season they have played 9, winning 2, drawing 3 and losing 4, with 9 scored and 11 conceded. At home they are 1-1-2; away from home 1-2-2.
Unusually, they have travelled better — unbeaten in 60% away versus 50% at home — so don't discount them on the road.
Recent form reads D-L-W-W-D (oldest first), meaning they have come through 80% of their last 5 matches without losing.
