John McGinn
31-Year-Old
Aston Villa
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
McGinn was ever-present for Villa in 2024/25, combining energy, leadership and clutch performances in big games. He chipped in one goal and four assists in the Premier League while often covering ground box-to-box. His pressing intensity and ability to carry the ball through midfield remained vital in Villa's most competitive stretches. Heading into 2025/26, McGinn is still a central figure but may face more rotation with added depth. His ability to play in multiple positions should remain a key to playing time, but as seen last season when he scored three goals in Champions League compared to one in domestic play, upside is mostly inconsistent.
Inks new contract
McGinn signed a new contract with Aston Villa until 2028, the club announced.
ANALYSIS
McGinn has been an undisputed figure for Villa since joining from Hibernian in 2019 and has played an integral role in the club's rise from the Championship to the Champions League. The midfielder has earned 80 caps with Scotland and ranks fifth on his country's all-time goalscoring list.

Off due to injury
McGinn suffered an injury in Sunday's 3-1 win over Fulham and was forced off in the 72nd minute, he told John Townley of Birmingham Live. "I considered coming off at half-time because I couldn't run properly. It was my own fault, I fouled Andersen in the corner and got a whack. But I stayed on and played through the pain barrier. Hopefully I'll be fine for Thursday."
