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.
Out with groin problem
Yamal is out for the time being after experiencing pain in his groin/adductor area, the club announced Friday.
ANALYSIS
Yamal came off the bench in the win over Real Sociedad and featured against PSG, but the workload affected him and will be sidelined for the match versus Sevilla. This means Ferran Torres and Marcus Rashford are likely to flank Robert Lewandowski upfront. Yamal will aim to return when Barcelona take on Girona on Oct. 18 after the international break.

Manchester City know they have an outside chance of signing Yamal, and they're ready to do everything in their power to get that deal over the finish line. They're competing with Liverpool on that race, but there's a strong chance neither club will get that done. The winger looks set to remain at Barcelona for the foreseeable future.
