The 2016-17 campaign was a season of exhilarating, attacking football for Fulham as The Cottagers, led by manager Slaviša Jokanović, finished 6th in the Championship to secure a coveted play-off spot. Leading the charge was the sensational midfielder Tom Cairney, whose 13 league goals and 11 assists earned him the club's Player of the Season award. The season was built on a thrilling late run of form and the emergence of 16-year-old starlet Ryan Sessegnon, though the promotion dream ended with a disappointing loss to Reading in the play-off semi-finals. It remains a memorable chapter that restored the club's identity and laid the groundwork for future success.
