Career report
Fatawu is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Peak: 2025/26Holding levelBreakout: 2025/26StreakyStepped up 2024/25
The record covers 5 seasons (2023/24–2025/26) across 3 clubs, including a move abroad — 101 appearances, 15 goals and 22 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2025/26 at Leicester — Season rating 43, 9 goals and 7 assists in 43 games. 2025/26 was the leap — Season rating up 37 points at Leicester. Output has held steady across his last 3 full seasons (43 → 43).
A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±17 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2024/25 (Premier League) and kept playing — 11 games that season.
