Fulham have lost all four matches Lookman has not started in the Premier League, whereas they have taken points in six of the 10 matches he has started.
"The 23-year-old has played a direct hand in four league goals so far (two goals, two assists), while only three players are making a successful dribble more frequently than him (every 27.8 minutes)".
