2025 Fantasy Outlook
Valverde remains one of Real Madrid's most dependable players and his versatility to play right-back or midfield has made him vital to the squad. He made 36 appearances last season, contributing six goals and four assists, numbers that shouldn't change much year over year. Valverde's work rate on both ends of the pitch should him locked into the starting XI despite a new manager and the addition of Trent Alexander-Arnold. He's also been remarkably durable, featuring in at least 31 matches each season since 2021/22.
Pictured in training
Valverde (foot) was present and worked with the ball during the team's practice ahead of the upcoming clash against Betis.
ANALYSIS
Valverde is most likely ready to return after missing the previous game due to a foot contusion. The versatile man is currently expected to start at right-back, in which case Raul Asencio will move to a bench spot. However, Valverde's attacking upside may be limited from that position, as he's averaging 1.7 shots and 1.3 chances created per contest this season when operating as a full-back.
