Nico Williams
23-Year-Old
Athletic
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Williams appeared in 29 La Liga matches for Athletic during the 2024/25 season, scoring five goals and providing five assists in what was one of his most complete campaigns to date. His pace, dribbling, and improved decision-making in the final third made him a constant threat on the left wing. After signing a contract extension through 2035, he remains central to Athletic Club's long-term plans. Heading into the 2025/26 season, if he can build on his output from the last two campaigns, he should reach double digits in goal contributions and could aim to surpass the 20-goal contribution mark across all competitions, with the Champions League returning to the Basque region.
Three shots in victory
Williams generated three shots (two on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Monday's 1-0 win versus Rayo Vallecano.
ANALYSIS
Williams was a constant outlet on the left, forcing a good save from Augusto Batalla around the hour and sending another effort over soon after. He drew two fouls, drove at Andrei Ratiu repeatedly and helped tilt the second half toward Athletic while contributing three shots and two chances created. Williams could not be decisive in this game compared to his two decisive actions in the opener against Sevilla but kept a good intensity and impact, suggesting the winger is in good shape in this first stretch of the season.
