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.
Available to play Saturday
Perez (hamstring) is back in training and is expected to be in the squad for Saturday's match against Atletico Madrid, manager Marcelino told media Friday. "We're getting back Ayoze, who missed the first three matches of the season due to injury."
ANALYSIS
Perez started the season on the sidelines due to a nagging hamstring injury, but he recovered during the break and should be an option at least off the bench for this weekend's clash at Wanda Metropolitano. Perez should eventually become a starter, though, as he notched 19 goals across 30 matches (22 starts) for Villarreal during the 2024/25 campaign.

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.
