2025 Fantasy Outlook
Yamal featured in 35 La Liga matches last season, scoring nine goals and contributing 13 assists at just 17 years old. He broke records with decisive contributions in both the league and Champions League. His development has been rapid, and his final-third quality is already elite, creating 64 chances and delivering 108 crosses in La Liga, mostly from open play to set up high-quality chances for his striker. Heading into 2025/26, Yamal is expected to be a central creative force once again and the primary leader of the Catalans' frontline. If he continues his upward trajectory, he could be in the range for 30 goal contributions, and be a serious contender for future Ballon d'Or honors.
Should play minutes against Girona
Yamal (groin) is progressing well in his recovery and is expected to feature in Barcelona's next two matches as he aims to be fully fit for the Clasico against Real Madrid, according to Javier Miguel of AS.
ANALYSIS
Yamal is nearing a return from his groin injury and should see some minutes in Saturday's clash against Girona as he looks to rebuild his fitness ahead of the midweek game against Olympiakos and be fully fit for the Clasico against Real Madrid on Oct. 26. He has recorded five goal contributions in four La Liga appearances so far this season for the Blaugranas. His return will therefore provide a boost to the frontline.
