They've certainly lost players, but Bryan, Adarabioyo, Hector, Tete is a good back 4 at this level. They've got others like Mawson, Robinson, Kongolo, Christie, Odoi and yes even Ream who can do a job at this level.
I would be surprised if we finished above Fulham. Where do you think the two sides will finish?

Any way you look at this, I make it bad news for us. We are lacking in that area compared to last season and a team aspiring for promotion is now strengthened.
We’re starting to look like we’re just going to be a hoofball team again this season.
Good hat-trick v Birmingham, but the opposition was extremely weak that day. More like a training ground game without any pressure for either team.
First goal was a lucky 'worldy' after sloppy defensive work.
Second was a well-placed free-kick, but the keeper should have saved.
Third was an excellent free-kick, but more experienced keepers may have positioned themselves better
Wilson may do well alongside better players but 12 million could have been spent more wisely by Fulham.
He may be available for less than £5 million within a year or two.
It took a while for Mick to be impressed with Wilson, possibly due to work ethic in training?
The 'training ground' match v Birmingham apart, I have been underwhelmed by Wilson's capability and temperament (in a Cardiff shirt). He has undoubted talent, but I suspect a team like Fulham may not be able to exploit it fully.
He would have made many Premier league managers think again after failing to be an integral part of the Wales squad and then letting himself down badly in the Denmark game.
It was reported that Burnley and Leeds were among clubs interested, but I doubt whether Wilson would have had the necessary characteristics to be part of either Dyche or Bielsa teams.

He’s not the big talent everyone thinks he is. He won’t do it in the PL next year that’s for certain. Like Mitrovic, he’ll be out of his depth.
Fulham have had a great side in the Championship and they keep messing around with it when they go up. If they add a really good keeper, winger, centre half and keep Neco Williams, they'll be absolutely fine. Wilson and Mitro are going to do well. Silva doesn't seem thick enough to try and add 10 new players to a good side and destroy any balance.
