John McGinn
30-Year-Old
Aston Villa
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
McGinn was ever-present for Villa in 2024/25, combining energy, leadership and clutch performances in big games. He chipped in one goal and four assists in the Premier League while often covering ground box-to-box. His pressing intensity and ability to carry the ball through midfield remained vital in Villa's most competitive stretches. Heading into 2025/26, McGinn is still a central figure but may face more rotation with added depth. His ability to play in multiple positions should remain a key to playing time, but as seen last season when he scored three goals in Champions League compared to one in domestic play, upside is mostly inconsistent.
Workhorse throughout midfield
McGinn started in 27 of his 34 appearances while notching one goal on 31 shots and four assists on 31 chances created to go along with 60 crosses in the Premier League.
ANALYSIS
McGinn saw yet another season as a regular sight in the Aston Villa midfield, with the midfielder covering nearly every spot in the midfield to fill whatever role the club needed him to play in. This would lead to a decent statline for the Scottish player, earning five goal contributions, although that was five fewer than last season. He is on contract for another two seasons and looks likely to continue seeing solid time as he remains fit and a utility piece that could be used nearly anywhere on the field.
