Box-to-Box
FulhamSeven crosses Sunday
Iwobi registered seven crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Iwobi recorded a season-high seven crosses Sunday, including one accurate cross. He also created one chance in his fourth consecutive match. Iwobi also kept his first clean sheet of the season, contributing two clearances in his full 90 minutes of action.
Scores in Sunday's win
Iwobi scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Iwobi scored an outside-the-box strike in the 34th minute Sunday, a goal assisted by Harry Wilson that took the 2-0 lead. He now has seven goal contributions this season, three of which have come in the last two matches. He had a productive match beyond the goal too as he created four chances for the third time this season and tied a season high with six crosses. He was subbed off in the 90th minute for Jorge Cuenca.
Scores and assists
Iwobi had an assist and scored a goal while taking two shots (one on goal), crossing three times (two accurate) and creating three chances during Sunday's 3-1 win over Sunderland.
Analysis: Iwobi set up Raul Jimenez in the 54th minute before scoring himself in the 85th while leading Fulham in shots and chances created during the victory. The goal involvements were the first since December for Iwobi as he's combined for three shots, five chances created and seven crosses over his last three league appearances.
Creates two chances in loss
Iwobi recorded three crosses (three accurate), two chances created and four corners in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Everton.
Analysis: Iwobi generated playmaking output from set pieces but was otherwise involved in defensive and ball distribution work against Everton. He has been used in a holding midfield position in three consecutive games since returning from international duty, and that is expected to remain the case in upcoming fixtures. While he can't be trusted for significant attacking contributions in that role, he might continue to deliver corner kicks while recording plenty of minutes and passes going forward.
Back with Fulham
Iwobi (international duty) is back in Fulham following AFCON.
Analysis: Iwobi is back in England following his time with the Nigerian national team, with the midfielder reporting to training Tuesday. This will clear him for play moving forward, as he should reclaim a starting role, starting in all 16 appearances this season, while bagging two goals and two assists.
Traveling with Nigeria
Iwobi has been called up by Nigeria for AFCON and is unavailable for the time being.
Analysis: Iwobi is off for AFCON and will not be with Fulham for the next few weeks, serving with Nigeria instead for the time being. Unfortunately for the club, this is a major loss, as the midfielder has yet to miss a start all season. This will likely force Sasa Lukic and Tom Cairney into more time, with Iwobi set for a return sometime in January.
Finds back of net
Iwobi scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Tuesday's 5-4 loss against Manchester City.
Analysis: Iwobi had a decent long-range effort that would find the back of the net on Tuesday, scoring in the 57th minute of the outing. It marks the midfielder's second goal of the season, with only four goal contributions on the season despite not missing a start all campaign. He recorded 15 in 28 appearances last season, a little behind his pace from last campaign.
Five chances created
Iwobi recorded one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 3-0 win against Wolverhampton.
Analysis: Iwobi accounted for a season-high five chances created but could not make the score sheet. He also recorded a shot for a second straight game and is up to three but none on target in that span. Additionally, he racked up a season-high 71 completed passes and tied his season highs of four crosses and two accurate crosses for a third time each.
Lacked effectiveness in loss
Iwobi had three shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Friday's 3-1 defeat to AFC Bournemouth.
Analysis: Iwobi was active Friday in an attacking midfield role, but his efforts lacked effectiveness. He was subbed after 86 minutes. He placed just one shot on goal, had two other attempts blocked and executed just one of his four crosses accurately. The regular starter has created two assists and a goal this season, it has been two matches since his last goal contribution.
Scores and assists in derby
Iwobi scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Brentford.
Analysis: Iwobi equalized in the 38th minute by pouncing on a loose ball in the box and then slipped a precise through ball for Harry Wilson less than two minutes later to curl home the go-ahead strike. The left winger was central to Fulham's shift in momentum and link play before halftime as he contributed throughout the game with two shots, two crosses and two chances created. Iwobi now has three goal contributions in five games with the Cottagers and is confirming his good form from 2024/25 since he should keep a regular starting role moving forward for Fulham.
Assists equalizer Sunday
Iwobi assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Manchester United.
Analysis: Iwobi's through ball in the 73rd minute set up Emile Smith Rowe's equalizer, earning a tough draw with Manchester United. It was the only chance he created in the match and he also took three shots and recorded two crosses on the attack. He completed the full 90 minutes in the home opener.
