Ayoze Perez
32-Year-Old
Villarreal
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Perez was coming off a nine-goal performance in the 2023/24 season with Real Betis, but he went to Villarreal and seemingly turned into a new player. He ended the 2024/25 campaign with 19 goals and two assists across 30 league outings. It'd be a surprise if he came close to those numbers again, but it's not like his goals came in bunches, and he scored eight times across his final 10 appearances. While 19 may not be on the table again, another double-digit output seems like a good possibility.
First league goal
Perez scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 4-0 win against Rayo Vallecano.
ANALYSIS
Perez finally got on the scoresheet for the first time this season, converting his first shot on target. After leading the team with 19 goals last season, the forward has faced a difficult run marked by injuries and a reduced role from the bench.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could return to England
West Ham are interested in Perez, according to Caught Offside.
ANALYSIS
The Hammers are interested in bringing the former Leicester and Newcastle forward back to the Premier League. West Ham have lacked depth upfront this season, and they believe the 31-year-old Villarreal player, who's having an excellent start to the season in 2024/25, can improve their attacking options.
