Ruben Vargas
28-Year-Old
Sevilla
La Liga
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Vargas provided creativity from the wing for Sevilla in 2025/26, contributing three goals and six assists across 24 La Liga games while pumping in a heavy volume of crosses with 90 units. The Swiss winger is a direct, service-oriented attacker, and the six assists plus crossing volume give him a route to fantasy points beyond his own scoring. Switzerland reached the World Cup quarterfinals before their exit, so he returns a little later than most. Under manager Luis Garcia Plaza, he is a regular starter when fit, though he missed some time last season. For fantasy, he is a mid-priced winger whose value leans on assists and set-piece delivery rather than goals, useful in formats that reward chances created. If he stays healthy and holds a starting role, double-digit combined contributions are realistic in a Sevilla side that will lean on his creativity.
Reports to Sevilla
Vargas is ready for the new season with Sevilla after the World Cup with Switzerland, according to the club.
ANALYSIS
Vargas dealt with multiple injuries during his first full season at the club, managing three goals and six assists across 24 LaLiga appearances, and closed out the World Cup with a difficult ending, entering the loss to Argentina for only the final five minutes of extra time after Breel Embolo's red card. Despite the frustrating finish, he had a decent overall tournament, contributing one assist and two goals across six appearances, and his return to club training now shifts focus to preseason preparations as he looks to stay healthy heading into a fuller third season in Spain.

Late call for Tuesday
Vargas exited training early Monday ahead of Tuesday's match against Colombia and is now questionable, according to manager Murat Yakin, per Lucas Werder of Blick. "The annoyance is, of course, great that they had to interrupt training one day before the game. It would be a big loss if they couldn't stand on the court tomorrow. We will look closely today and tomorrow to see if they can still be there"
