2025 Fantasy Outlook
Alba turned in a stellar 2024 season from his left-back position in a league that lacks defensive talent. In his first full season in Miami, Alba contributed four goals and 10 assists in 28 league appearances. His 0.40 assists per 90 and 77.75 passes attempted per 90 were both in the 99th percentile across all full-backs. As Alba turns 36 at the beginning of the 2025 season, expect similar numbers playing with Lionel Messi and company unless Father Time points to his clock, similar to a few of the studs on the Miami roster.
Forced off injured
Alba suffered a knock to his knee in the first half of Wednesday's 2-1 victory against Tigres in the Leagues Cup and tried to play the second half before being forced off in the 47th minute, interim head coach Javier Morales said in a press conference, according to Miami Herald. "We don't have an official medical report on Jordi yet, but from what I understand he had a knock to the knee."
ANALYSIS
Alba suffered a knock to his knee and was also stepped on his ankle by a teammate in the first half of Wednesday's Leagues Cup clash against Tigres. The former Barcelona defender attempted to play in the second half but was forced off two minutes later as the pain was too severe to continue. He will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue and whether he will need to be sidelined to recover. If that happens, Noah Allen is expected to start in his place.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not keen on leaving Barcelona
Jordi Alba has been linked with a Barcelona exit, but he doesn't want to leave the club, according to Mundo Deportivo.
ANALYSIS
The 33-year-old left-back said he doesn't want to leave the club despite the rumors, and in fact, his idea is to retire as a Blaugrana. "As far as I am concerned, I feel capable of continuing here for many years. I think that when I'm playing, I'm doing well and when I'm not playing, I support my teammates and try to help the younger ones as much as I can. I want to continue performing well. I've been here at Barcelona for many years and my intention is to stay here." Alba has been linked with a move to Napoli in recent weeks, but club president Joan Laporta said Barca will "honor" Alba's current deal that expires in 2024.
