Despite being the second deadliest attack in the league, Fulham have a problem.

They have no first choice right forward.

Floyd Ayite, Neeskens Kebano, Sheyi Ojo, and Lucas Piazon have all been tried, but none have staked their claim. They have all made between 17 and 26 appearances, yet none has either five goals or assists.

With an outside chance of automatic promotion looming into vision, Slavisa Jokanovic has a serious quandary on his hands.

Ayite has usually started when fit. The Togolese winger has had more starts, 23, than any of the other candidates. However, he has struggled to produce. Last season, Ayite harvested a healthy bounty of nine goals and seven assists. This has proved a comparatively lean year. He has reaped only four goals, without a single assist.

These struggles have seen Kebano’s name bandied around. Yet this is a case of distance making the heart grow fonder. A return of three goals and three assists from 24 appearances, as well as just 0.5 key passes per game, suggest he is not the solution.

Ojo and Piazon have been, slightly, more productive per appearance. Ojo has four goals and two assists in 21 appearances, while Piazon is statistically the pick of the bunch with four goals and four assists in 17 appearances.

However, both have seen opportunities limited of late by the loan rules. Only five loanees are allowed in each match squad. Aleksandar Mitrovic, Matt Targett, Tomas Kalas, and Oliver Norwood are all either guaranteed starters or necessary back-ups. This leaves one spot between Ojo and Piazon.

The decision of who to include comes down to the role Jokanovic wants them to play. Piazon is a calmer and less excitable presence; Ojo tries to make things happen, with varying degrees of success. For example, Ojo attempts twice as many dribbles per game as Piazon (1.5 to 0.8), but has twice as many bad controls per game (2.1 to 1.1).

This suggests that Ojo should be utilised as an impact sub. So far, he has made a mere four appearances from the bench. Piazon has the strongest claim to start, but, in light of the loan legislation, Ayite is the best bet.

However, what Fulham really need is for one of them to hit form in this final run-in.
