Youri Tielemans
28-Year-Old
Aston Villa
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tielemans was an undisputed starter and leader for Aston Villa throughout the 2024/25 season, contributing consistently in midfield with three goals, seven assists and smart distribution. He offers control in possession and composure under pressure, and his ability to dictate tempo and connect phases of play made him one of the most reliable midfielders in the league. With two full seasons under Unai Emery, Tielemans enters 2025/26 well positioned to build on his production and remain a central figure. The main question for upside is whether he'll play more in an attacking role or sit deeper next to a defensive midfielder, something that often changes during a match.
Another goal contribution
Tielemans assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 3-2 victory over West Ham United.
ANALYSIS
This marked the second straight game where Tielemans recorded a goal contribution, and he is now up to two assists through 10 Premier League appearances. He also extended his streak to nine consecutive games with at least one chance created. On the other hand, this marked just the second time in six outings that he failed to record a shot on target.
