Crazy that with that kid of point haul (27/33) they aren't in a better spot in the table. They must have been dire prior to that.

This is his level. He's thriving. He ain't young so he probably doesn't have a much higher ceiling. I would bet he would fit in on a team fighting a relegation battle in the prem, but also with Fulham next year if they don't get promoted. This is a good place for him. Guy's 30, and international football is in his rearview mirror. Best thing for him would be to find and keep a steady paycheck. I can't see a bigger team offering him a long contract extension, and according to Transfermarkt, he's contracted until the end of the '19 season. He should parlay his good play with Fulham into as long a contract as they will give him based on his play this year. Come to think of it, one wonders if his current form has something to do with his contract status and need to renew this offseason.
I don’t know if he’s enough of an upgrade over average Championship defender for those type of teams to drop $$$$ on him.

And Fulham wins 3-0; They are on a ridiculous run of form. The win moves them into 4th place on the table, eight points clear int he playoff race and four points from automatic promotion (although Cardiff have a game in hand).
Unfortunately for Fulham, the teams around them are in a similar run of form. Last 6 games. Cardiff - 16 points Fulham - 14 points Aston Villa - 13 points Wolves - 11 points Good news is those teams have to play each other whilst Fulham have done playing them. March 10th - Aston Villa v Wolves April 6th - Cardiff v Wolves April 10th - Aston Villa v Cardiff
Nominated for Player of the Month: https://www.efl.com/news/2018/march/player-of-the-month-february-nominees3 Tim Ream (Fulham) For all Fulham’s flowing football, Ream’s composure at the back was central to three clean sheets in the month. Magnificent against Aston Villa, his last-ditch tackle on Benik Afobe against leaders Wolves exemplified his determination.

Going to be very hard to catch Cardiff for automatic promotion, but they definitely should make the playoff.
Trail by 5 points with 6 games to go (Cardiff has 7 to go). That's really hard but Fulham has been remarkable since December. They haven't lost in league play in nearly four months. But down the stretch, Fulham has a much more favorable schedule @Wednesday (16th) Reading (19th) Brentford (11th) @Millwall (8th) Sunderland (23rd) Birmingham City (21st) Cardiff City's last 7 Wolverhampton (1st) @Aston Villa (4th) @Norwich (14th) Nottingham Forest (17th) @Derby County (5th) @Hull City (18th) Reading (19th)
