2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gimenez was busy throughout the 2024/25 season, recording 115 clearances, 27 interceptions and 26 tackles across 27 appearances (20 starts). The Uruguayan international was a regular at center-back, but some rotation would be surprising if Clement Lenglet and Robin Le Normand are also fit. His upside is capped since the only area where he contributes reliably is defensive stats such as clearances, tackles and interceptions. That said, Atleti's defensive prowess and tendency to secure clean sheets could boost Gimenez's outlook, as usual.

Forced off at halftime
Gimenez (undisclosed) was forced off at halftime of Thursday's 3-1 victory against Seattle in the FIFA Club World Cup due to discomfort, according to the club.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez felt discomfort and couldn't play more than one half in Thursday's game against the Sounders. He will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue and whether he has to miss some time. If he has to miss the third and last group stage game against Botafogo on Monday, Axel Witsel, who replaced him against Seattle, will likely see a greater role against the Brazilians.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Could head to Saudi Arabia
Two teams in the Saudi Pro League are interested in signing Gimenez, according to Diego Paez de Roque of El Desmarque.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez is one of the most reliable defensive alternatives at Atletico Madrid, but it wouldn't be shocking if the defender changes teams in the summer. After all, Atletico are keen on signing Cristian Romero, and they already feature Clement Lenglet and Robin Le Normand on the current roster. If the contract is attractive, which is sure to be the case, expect Gimenez to consider his exit from the Wanda Metropolitano.
