OPPOSITION PLAYER TO WATCH
Midfielder Lewis Simper has made a strong impression in the early stages of the season, continuing the form that saw him named Sutton United’s joint Player of the Season for 2024/25.
The former Cambridge United man has already chipped in with a series of composed midfield performances, dictating play with his range of passing and ability to break lines. Known for his technical quality and eye for goal, Simper provides Sutton with a central creative presence who can both protect the back line and contribute going forward.
Opposition sides will need to be alert to the 23-year-old’s movement and vision, particularly around the edge of the box. If given time and space, Simper has the quality to unlock defences—and he’s quickly establishing himself as a central figure in Steve Morison’s plans this season.
