2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tielemans was an undisputed starter and leader for Aston Villa throughout the 2024/25 season, contributing consistently in midfield with three goals, seven assists and smart distribution. He offers control in possession and composure under pressure, and his ability to dictate tempo and connect phases of play made him one of the most reliable midfielders in the league. With two full seasons under Unai Emery, Tielemans enters 2025/26 well positioned to build on his production and remain a central figure. The main question for upside is whether he'll play more in an attacking role or sit deeper next to a defensive midfielder, something that often changes during a match.
Training Wednesday
Tielemans (calf) was pictured in training during Wednesday's session.
ANALYSIS
Tielemans was back in training Wednesday, and evidently has a chance of returning for a Thursday clash with Maccabi Tel Aviv. The midfielder was originally expected to be sidelined until after the international break, so there's no guarantee he will return early. Tielemans has started every match he's been fit for this season.
