Donyell Malen
26-Year-Old
Aston Villa
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Malen joined Villa midway through the 2024/25 season and showed glimpses of his explosive pace and ability to beat defenders. He didn't fully settle into the starting XI, but his upside remains clear in counter-attacking situations. With a full preseason to integrate, Malen could be a game changer in 2025/26. If he earns regular starts, he has the tools to hit double-digit goals and become a central figure in Villa's front three. His direct style and ability to stretch defenses gives them a different dimension in attack compared to their other forwards.
Assists as substitute
Malen assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 win over Leeds United.
ANALYSIS
Malen came on at the start of the second half and played a key role in the team's improved performance and comeback, setting up Morgan Rogers for his first goal. It marked his second straight goal involvement off the bench after scoring in his previous appearance.
