2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tarkowski put together another productive Premier League campaign, as he kept 10 clean sheets and recorded two goal contributions across 33 starts. He missed the final five matches with a hamstring injury, but that's not expected to take any time from him during the upcoming season. He's been remarkably consistent across the last eight Premier League seasons, hovering around 10 clean sheets and recording a couple goal contributions during his time at both Burnley and Everton. Given the stability of Everton's defense, there's no reason to believe Tarkowski won't be able to keep up his numbers next season. His consistent level of fitness and ability to keep clean sheets, in addition to providing the odd goal contribution, makes him a solid and reliable fantasy option for the 2025/26 season.
Fit and raring to go

Tarkowski was in the starting XI for Sunday's pre-season friendly against Manchester United, looking fit and raring to go, coach David Moyes said in a press conference. "I think he's fit and he's raring to go. He's been training really, really well. He's healed incredibly well, but when the doctors give you a certain time that you've got to keep him out for, we have to abide by that as much as we can."
ANALYSIS
Tarkowski was expected to miss the first two games of the season with the Toffees but returned from his hamstring injury ahead of schedule, featuring for 20 minutes against West Ham United and playing an hour against Manchester United in pre-season friendlies. This is good news for Everton, as he is an undisputed starter in central defense when fit and appears ready to start the 2025/26 Premier League campaign.

Tarkowski (hamstring) is expected to make a return at some point during preseason for Everton. According to manager David Moyes, "I think he's been out for about 12 weeks now and we think it should be about 14 weeks but he's way ahead of schedule. I'm hoping maybe I might get Tarky around the next two games, but if I was going to get him I think it's more likely to be the last game" per Chris Beesley of the Echo.
