Fulham is having a great season in the Premier League. In fact, should the Cottagers finish above ninth in the table, it would be the best season the club has ever had in the EPL.

Tied for the team lead in league goals, Dempsey has already surpassed his goal total from last season and is quickly becoming a fan favorite at Craven Cottage.
