The transfer window opens on Sunday - albeit for 10 days initially, mainly so sides competing in the Club World Cup can get early business done - before reopening for the rest of the summer on 16 June.

Are there certain players you are desperate for Fulham to sign, or an area of the squad that needs improving? Or maybe holding on to a key player is your biggest priority. And what about sales - who needs to go?

So over to you... what names need bringing in and shipping out?

Crystal Palace wing-back Daniel Munoz ranked second in distance covered (242 miles) last season and he also made the most sprints in the Premier League with 907.

Bryan Mbeumo and Milos Kerkez also rank highly, just behind Fulham's American speedster Antonee Robinson.

Newcastle's Anthony Gordon completes the top five.

While Gordon ranked fifth for sprints overall across the season, he sprinted more often than any other player, averaging 29 sprints per 90 minutes.

What's in a name? Well if the name's Anthony (or Antonee) then it is sprinting, with Gordon, Elanga and Robinson all in the top five.

Munoz is here again, coming in at fourth, behind Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson.

We asked you to select your Fulham player of the season from the four candidates chosen by our fan contributor.

And with the poll now closed, we can reveal the winner is... Antonee Robinson!

Here's what Drew Heatley at Fulhamish, external said about him:

It is little wonder the player known as 'Jedi' is attracting the attention of clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool. He has come so far in four years, adding defensive steel to his blistering pace on the left. His 10 assists and counting this term shows his impact. Hopefully he resists the dark side this summer.

Bournemouth and Tottenham were the most physical teams in the Premier League this season when considering the distance they covered and the number of sprints performed.

The results might explain why they had a lot of injuries.

Newcastle and Brighton were not too far behind though, with Brighton actually covering the most ground in the league, with fewer sprints.

Chelsea and Liverpool's style of play saw them sprint a lot but not cover a lot of ground, while Manchester City and Arsenal were the opposite (ran a lot but didn't sprint a lot).

Nottingham Forest very much had their own style of play this season as they both ran and sprinted the least.

Season rating: 7/10. An almost impossible season to gauge. We secured our record number of points and equalled our record number of wins, yet finished in the bottom half and missed out on possibly our best chance to win the FA Cup.

Happy with your manager? Yes. Marco Silva is not infallible and has his flaws, but he is our best manager since Roy Hodgson and he has indicated he wants to remain at Craven Cottage.

If he does, he will expect to be backed - and rightly so. We're close to real success, but we need bodies in the squad.

Unsung hero: Raul Jimenez. He enjoyed his best season in five years, scoring 14 in all competitions. Yet news of the club extending his contract drew groans from some areas of the fanbase.

A goal return of 21 in 72 games is a fine one for a player who cost just £5.5m, and he still has a significant role to play in a squad that I have already mentioned needs to get deeper.

Player you would most like to sign: We still haven't replaced Aleksandar Mitrovic, so a striker has to be on the agenda. Everton are the latest club to be linked with Liam Delap of Ipswich, so why wouldn't we have that conversation with him too? We're an attractive proposition on and off the field for any young player looking to step up.

Right now, my overriding emotion from the season is: Jealousy. Watching Crystal Palace lift the FA Cup was, perhaps strangely, one of the worst moments I have had as a football fan.

I was convinced it was our year. All the ingredients were there. It was a season for surprise cup winners and the Premier League table was so congested that a really high finish was so realistic for most of the campaign. Instead, we've ended up with nothing to show for it. We go again in August.

Here's my quick assessment of Fulham's Premier League season - and a return to my August predictions.

Ended the season: 11th

Pre-season prediction: 13th

A solid season for Fulham under Marco Silva, although the FA Cup quarter-final loss at home to Crystal Palace was a big disappointment and somewhat symptomatic of a season where form could fluctuate from one game to the next.

Even so, the campaign represents progress. The one concern could be a knock on the door from Spurs for Silva should they dispense with Ange Postecoglou.

What I said in August: "Much will depend on Silva himself but I think Fulham will have a relatively untroubled season."

We asked for your views on Fulham's performance against Manchester City and the season as a whole.

Here are some of your comments:

Bryn: Proud of the way they have played all season. This is tempered by total frustration at the absence of even an average striker. I know that Marco Silva wants improvement but this can't happen without the addition of such a player - even a youngster with genuine potential.

Johnathan: We've never been the same since the FA Cup home loss to Crystal Palace. Pity.

James: Disappointing end to the season. We have played well throughout the season and even broken our points record of 53. We tried our best but Manchester City were overall the much better team. Let's try and get a good start next season.

Ash: We had some great chances, but poor finishing. We've been hit and miss in the past three or four months after the international break. Marco is staying, hopefully Cairney will too.

Antoine: You cannot be a fan of Fulham unless you're content with losing every other week. Many ers love to attend the Cottage because you are really close and see all of the players, but they desperately need a great centre-forward to replace the incredible Mitrovic. Not worth paying up to £3,000 for a season ticket.

It feels slightly cruel that Fulham did not finish in the top half of the Premier League table.

They flirted with the idea of European football for months, and 11th just does not feel like a justifiable ending given some of their performances.

What is interesting about Marco Silva's side is that they do not fall into the 'flat track bully' category. They have been as good - if not better - at getting points off top-half sides compared with games against those struggling. That should offer a lot of encouragement.

Clearly, consistency has been their nemesis in recent months. But Fulham are close to breaking through the next ceiling under Silva. He has shown that this season by leading the club to their record Premier League points tally.

But how does he turn them into a team that can become a more regular fixture among those jostling for Europe? As ever, it will probably come down to investment.

Silva's standing and respect as manager is strong enough now for him to openly call out what he feels he needs to get there. He said after the defeat by Manchester City on Sunday that he "wants to keep improving, but we have to have the same tools as the other clubs".

That is his less-than-subtle way of asking to be backed in the transfer market.

There is always a balance to be found with these situations, but I think most Fulham fans are realistic enough to recognise that if the club are to kick on again under Silva, he is going to need to spend this summer.

Fulham manager Marco Silva has been speaking to BBC Match of the Day about the defeat by Manchester City: "It's definitely not the result to finish on a high at home. We had some moments, in of chances, that we did create. There were probably enough of those to get a different result, but City were more clinical.

"They were leading and the penalty killed our hopes really - we need to be more careful in that moment. We had two players ready to go in and have an impact [as substitutes] so unfortunately for us, it was a crucial moment."

On achieving a club record 54 points in the Premier League this season: "We have achieved something that nobody has achieved before. Up until the last stages, we were in decisive moments to fight for some of the European spots and arriving where we we did in the FA Cup [quarter-finals] shows it is a good season for the club.

"We improved from last season and that is the main thing."

On the futures of Tom Cairney and Kenny Tete: "Let's hope in the next few days you have some news."

On his own future: "That isn't really important. I have a contract [until 2026] and I have more important things to do in order to prepare the club to move forward.

"I'm talking about development and improvements, the club knows what that means. We cannot stand still at the level that we are at. If we want to keep improving, we have to have the same tools as the other clubs."

Manchester City have now won their past 15 league meetings against Fulham, the longest winning run one side has recorded over another in the history of England's top four tiers (overtaking Manchester City against Bournemouth - 14).

This was only the third game in Premier League history to see no English player in either starting XI, after Portsmouth v Arsenal in December 2009 and Arsenal v Chelsea in January 2019.

So the curtain has come down on Fulham's season with a defeat against Manchester City at Craven Cottage.

Marco Silva's side will have wanted a much better end to their season, having recorded 10 Premier League defeats since the turn of the year, but they were unable to find the all-important breakthrough.

How are you feeling after that performance and at the end of a long campaign?

Fulham make four changes to the side that beat Brentford last Sunday, in the final Premier League game of the campaign.

Captain Tom Cairney comes into the side along with Harry Wilson, Andreas Pereira and Jorge Cuenca.

Emile Smith Rowe, Alex Iwobi, Sander Berge and Calvin Bassey drop to the bench.

Fulham XI: Leno, Tete, Andersen, Cuenca, Robinson, Lukic, Cairney, Traore, Wilson, Pereira, Jimenez.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has made two changes to the side that beat Bournemouth on Tuesday, knowing a point here should be enough for a Champions League spot.

The big news sees Jack Grealish left out completely, while Kevin de Bruyne is on the bench for his final appearance in a City shirt. Ballon d'Or winner Rodri is only a substitute too.

Nico Gonzalez replaces the suspended Mateo Kovacic, while Jeremy Doku is in for De Bruyne.

Man City XI: Ederson, Nunes, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol, Gonzalez, Gundogan, Silva, Marmoush, Doku, Haaland.

Manchester City were really good in their win over Bournemouth on Tuesday, and they did not let the disappointment of last weekend's FA Cup final defeat affect them. Omar Marmoush was excellent, they created lots of chances and defended strongly too.

City still made mistakes, though, and the stray es that led to Mateo Kovacic being sent off and also gifted Bournemouth a late goal are the kind of simple errors you don't expect their players to make.

City will miss Kovacic here because he gives them legs in midfield and knits their play together so well. Without him, I have a sneaky feeling that this will not be a straightforward afternoon for them. The way the season has gone for Pep Guardiola's side, I would not put it past them to screw this up.

They only need a point to secure a top-five finish and maintain their ever-present record in the Champions League since 2011 but, with the way Fulham play, they are in for a tough time at Craven Cottage.

I still think City will find a way of winning, but me saying that is probably bad news for Pep Guardiola's side. I've found it impossible to predict Fulham all season and, whatever I say they will do, I am usually wrong.

Sutton's prediction: 1-2

We asked you to pick your player of the season after our Fulham fan contributor narrowed it down to Alex Iwobi, Calvin Bassey, Rodrigo Muniz and Antonee Robinson.

Here are some of your comments on your selection, as well as some other names thrown into the ring:

Robert: Bassey has shown week in, week out that he has what it takes to be a top centre-back. Consistency is the key and he seems to have cut out the errors he was prone to in his first season. An all-round positive influence around the club - and, as fans, we love him for it.

Terry: Really hard to choose between these four, and so many others could have a shout at player of the season. It's been a real team effort this year, more than any other season under Marco Silva. Calvin has been the most consistent of our defensive shield. I'm not discounting Robinson's contribution, he's been superb, but Bassey has directly stopped so many goal attempts, and made so many crucial interceptions that without him, we would have been in the bottom half of the table for the majority of the season.

Anne: I would have gone for Harry Wilson. I know he's been used mainly as a substitute but when he comes of the bench, he lifts things and picks the team up. His goals and assists have proven his value to the team.

Peter: Ryan Sessegnon is still only 24 years old and it is great to see him getting back to his best. He has an unerring instinct to pop up in the penalty area at the right time and place and he has what Fulham lack - ruthlessness in front of goal. OK, limited appearances mean that this season perhaps he would have been lucky to make the shortlist, but watch out for him next season. It was not just a sentimental decision bringing him back to Craven Cottage. Sess can be a pivotal player for us once again.

David: Can't believe Bernd Leno isn't on the shortlist.

William: It's difficult to pick a single player of the season when it's a team game and with injuries to some that were doing well at the time having to drop down the pecking order, but one player that has been outstanding throughout this season is Leno. He has saved us a few times when things were going wrong and that's why I would pick him.

Manchester City have won each of their past 17 meetings with Fulham in all competitions, the longest winning run in history one English league side has had against another.

Meanwhile, goals from Tom Cairney and Harry Wilson against Brentford last time out saw Fulham set a new Premier League for goals scored by substitutes in a single season (17). Those 17 goals have been worth 17 points to the Cottagers, more than any other side in the division this term.
