Lamine Yamal
18-Year-Old
Barcelona
La Liga
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.
One shot Friday
Yamal recorded one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Friday's 1-0 victory over Uruguay.
ANALYSIS
Yamal was a bit underwhelming Friday after a goal in Spain's last match, as the forward would only record one shot, although he did earn three chances created. He is now up to three shots, eight shots and 16 crosses in three appearances (two starts) this World Cup. He will look to have more of an impact in the knockouts, likely taking it easy and not wanting to risk too much against a physical Uruguay squad.

Could Start, full 90 unlikely
Yamal is not yet fit to play 90 minutes but could start or see increased minutes, Spain manager Luis de la Fuente said when asked about the possibility of him starting, per El Correo: "Yes, but not to play for 90 minutes yet. We'll see if we're more interested in him starting the match or coming on during it. We'll assess how he's doing. He's getting better every day, he's already at a level, with a lot of desire to show the world his football potential and ours more. And we'll see, I insist, if we're more interested in him starting or coming on later during another moment of the match."
