Rodrigo De Paul
31-Year-Old
Atlético Madrid
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
De Paul was the engine that kept Atletico Madrid going in midfield and appeared in all but four games in 2024/25, making 23 starts while recording eight goal contributions (three goals, five assists). The scoring output isn't always there, but De Paul brings a lot to the table and has proven he can make his presence felt on both sides of the ball. He racked up 42 chances created, 59 crosses and 33 tackles, as well. De Paul should remain a key part of the starting XI moving forward with appeal on both sides of the ball.
Finds assist in season finale
De Paul recorded his fifth assist of the season in Sunday's 4-0 victory over Girona in the season finale, wrapping up a 44-appearances campaign.
ANALYSIS
De Paul set up Alexander Sorloth's opener with a perfectly weighted pass into the box, marking his fifth assist in the league this season. His consistency in midfield helped Atletico control tempo and transition quickly. De Paul continues to be a crucial link between defense and attack and finished his second season in a row with more than 2,000 minutes in La Liga. He equaled his goals and assists from last season in the league and recorded one goal contribution in the Champions League this year as well, though this time it was an assist rather than a goal. De Paul is expected to remain the leader in the midfield for the team next season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could play alongside Messi
Inter Miami are interested in signing De Paul, according to The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Inter Miami are looking to bolster their midfield with a box-to-box player, and De Paul was a star for Atletico Madrid in the 2024/25 season, so this could be a huge signing not only for Inter Miami but for MLS as a whole. The friendship between De Paul and Lionel Messi could play a role in the Argentina international aiming to move to Inter Miami as well. De Paul will be a free agent in the summer of 2026, which could prompt Atletico Madrid to allow his departure.
