Strong performance in win
Affengruber registered two tackles (zero won) and five clearances in Saturday's 1-0 win against Hull City.
Analysis: Affengruber reached at least five clearances for the fourth straight match, while Fulham's possession gave him plenty of chances to distribute from the back, leading to a season-high tally of 93 accurate passes. The defender has recently moved ahead of Joachim Andersen in the race for the right-sided center-back spot, putting him in position for a steady run of minutes. Clean sheets remain hard to count on, but Affengruber's 6.5 clearances per Premier League appearance currently lead the squad and grant him a solid defensive floor.
Finds starting time
Affengruber has started in two of his three appearances since joining Fulham.
Analysis: Affengruber was a late addition to this team this summer, but has quickly found himself in the action, sitting out his debut match but then starting in the next two contests. He then seems to have taken the role of Joachim Andersen in the middle of defense, quickly taking on a starting role for the club. In his two starts, he has earned a clean sheet and 16 clearances, potentially a solid center-back due to his work rate in defense, although a low amount of clean sheets could hurt him unless Fulham starts to pick up play.
