Diego Llorente

Llorente remained a key part of Betis's defense in 2025/26, though his appearances dipped to 18 in La Liga from 30 the year before as fitness and rotation cut into his minutes. When he plays, he is a high-volume defensive contributor, and even in that reduced sample he posted 95 clearances, 28 tackles and 28 interceptions. That is the profile of a fantasy center back whose value is built entirely on peripheral stats, with no attacking output beyond the odd goal. Manager Manuel Pellegrini rates him when available, so a healthier campaign would restore him to a regular starting role. The question is durability and squad competition, and until his minutes look secure he is a defense-only pick best valued for clearance and interception volume on the weeks he starts.
