Fulham FC promoted to Premier League: Can Cottagers stay up this ... (Sporting News)

Here's a rundown of how the club has pushed for promotion this season. Aleksandar Mitrovic record-breaking season. The biggest story of Fulham's season is the ...

Tony's dealings this coming summer will be a major focus for Fulham fans, and could be critical in the club's Premier League survival. In addition, Marco Silva and the club must sit down this summer and construct a Premier League tactical plan. Now, the club has seemingly perfected that style of play, but once again, a move up to the Premier League begs the question: Will Fulham give the possession style another go in the top flight, or change course to a more traditional counter-attacking side typical of newly promoted clubs? Players like Harrison Reed, Bobby Reid, and Tom Cairney had revivals in the Championship, but it's hard to forget how poor they were just a year prior in the top flight as regulars in the squad. His record-breaking Championship campaign proves he still has the cutting edge, but across three Premier League campaigns with Fulham and Newcastle, he has not been up to standards. A host of current players have already proven they don't belong in the Premier League, and improvements will be needed. Fulham stayed in the Premier League for 13 seasons, enjoying its greatest success through 2008-2012 that included a seventh-place finish and an appearance in the Europa League final, until it was relegated in 2014. It has been a season to remember for manager Marco Silva and Fulham, scoring an insane amount of goals in the chase for a Premier League place. Silva managed to take Parker's vision of Fulham as a possession team — which never truly came to fruition in the Premier League — and mold it into a reality in the Championship. Fulham held an average of 60.6 percent possession through the Championship season, completing a stunning 457 passes per game. Out of contract players include American defender Tim Ream, midfield maestro Jean-Michel Seri, and center-back Alfie Mawson. Ream is expected to leave the club, as he has proven below Premier League levels in both recent relegation campaigns. After relegation from the top flight in 1968, Fulham languished for decades in the lower leagues. A slight dip in late September saw the club drop to fifth place, but it quickly recovered and was top by late November, never again relinquishing its lead.

Fulham seal Premier League return as Mitrovic starts party against ... (The Guardian)

Marco Silva's got the win they needed to secure promotion as Aleksandar Mitrovic took his Championship goal tally to 40.

We have to prepare for the big challenge ahead of us.” Emblematic of his club, Mitrovic is highly potent in the Championship and yet has usually disappointed in the higher echelon. The second half began almost like the first, Rodak making a fine save from Archer before Mitrovic lost to Iversen in a one-on-one duel. We have to be really positive, we have to have desire and ambition.” With two goals from Aleksandar Mitrovic taking him to 40 for the season and another from Fabio Carvalho, two stars of the campaign made sure Fulham achieved their objective for the season. Neat play between Mitrovic and the Liverpool-bound Carvalho might have resulted in a second in the 25th minute, only for the teenager to fire wide.

As for which clubs Fulham could be replacing in the Premier League, two of Silva’s former employers are in the mix. Its return to the Premier League was short-lived once again, with relegation in ’20-21, but it proved resilient—and dominant—in the second tier this season, never truly having its latest promotion effort in any kind of jeopardy. Whether that will be enough to reinforce the club—and find a suitable replacement for talented 19-year-old attacking star Fábio Carvalho, who is expected to leave for Liverpool—and prevent it from suffering immediate relegation in 2022–23 remains to be seen.

Fulham scored from their first real attack of the game, with Joe Bryan coming inside from the left and cleverly playing in Mitrovic behind the Preston backline for the Serbian to slot home through the legs of Daniel Iversen.
