Est. Return 1/29/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Isco was one of La Liga's most creative players last season, ranking top eight in chances created despite making at least 10 fewer appearances than anyone ahead of him. His playmaking led to eight assists, trailing only Lamine Yamal, Alex Baena, and Raphinha. Isco remains a vital piece of the Betis attack, but staying healthy is key to unlocking his full potential. He made just 22 appearances (17 starts) last season, with all of his absences attached to two early-season surgeries for a broken leg. Given that he didn't suffer anything else the rest of the way, the signs are pointing up to an even better 2025/26 campaign.
Sidelined after surgery
Isco (ankle) remains out for an extended period following arthroscopic surgery on his right ankle, according to the club.
ANALYSIS
Isco has yet to be given an official recovery timeline but is expected to miss at least a month of action. He has struggled with fitness issues throughout the campaign, making just a couple of brief appearances in November. While this loss reduces the squad's offensive potential, both Pablo Fornals and Giovani Lo Celso are talented alternatives in the No. 10 role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Everton showing interest
Everton are interested in signing Isco, according to The Times.
ANALYSIS
Isco is a free agent after departing Sevilla and failed to latch on with a club in January, but that doesn't mean he can be a good addition to several European sides. Everton need a creative boost and Isco can provide exactly that, though there are questions regarding whether he can adjust to the physicality of the Premier League or not.
