Dan Neil
24-Year-Old
Ipswich Town
The Championship
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Neil was a big part of the Sunderland midfield for the third straight season, starting 47 games and topping 4,100 minutes in the Championship after being named captain. As a defensive midfielder, he won't offer much upside in the Premier League, especially after barely averaging one combined shot and chance created per start in the Championship. While it seems like he's set to remain a starter, most of his fantasy production will come from defensive stats in his role, numbers that could increase in a more difficult league.
Joins Ipswich Town on loan
Neil is joining Ipswich Town from Sunderland on loan until the end of the season, ending his 18-year association with Sunderland at the end of his contract in June, the club announced.
ANALYSIS
Neil was developed at the Academy of Light and spent 18 years at the club, featuring in 259 games across all competitions and levels, scoring 15 goals and providing 21 assists. The midfielder is now joining Ipswich Town until the end of the season before becoming a free agent in June, at which point he will be free to sign with the club of his choice to continue his career.

Candidate to leave Sunderland
Sunderland are open to listening to offers for Neil, according to The Sun.
ANALYSIS
Neil has failed to secure a steady role at Sunderland this season. The Black Cats are open to listening to offers for him, but if he leaves the club in January, chances are he'd end up moving to the Championship instead of another Premier League club.
