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.
Ruled out against Valencia
Yamal has suffered a groin injury and is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Valencia, coach Hansi Flick said in the press conference. "Lamine will not be available. He went with the national team in pain and did not train. They gave him painkillers to play. They had at least a three-goal lead in every match, and he played 73 minutes and 79, and between matches he couldn't train. That is not taking care of the player. I am very sad about this."
ANALYSIS
Yamal suffered a groin injury and was already in pain when going on international duty with Spain. The young forward took painkillers and played 73 and 79 minutes, aggravating the issue and making coach Hansi Flick angry about the management. Yamal is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Valencia and is a doubt for Thursday's Champions League opener against Newcastle. Marcus Rashford is expected to start in the frontline to replace him.
