Josko Gvardiol
23-Year-Old
Manchester City
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gvardiol was arguably one of City's best players in their letdown of a 2024/25 campaign, starting 36 matches while serving between left-back and center-back, depending on where he was needed by Pep Guardiola. His two-way ability was once again on full display as he led the left flank, advancing at any chance he could to help the attack, earning him five goals despite the defender tag. He's unlikely to take a step down from this level in a system that fits perfectly to his game, though following the addition of Rayan Ait-Nouri, it does seem like he'll play more as a center-back going forward, which could lead to less time on the ball around the opponent's box.
Dealing with patella tendonitis
Gvardiol is dealing with patella tendonitis for the past 10 months and is carefully managing the workload on his knees, he said to the media, according to Ryan Dabbs from Men's Health. "I've been struggling with patella tendonitis for the last 10 months, so I need to do a lot of exercises for my knees. It's really important for me to keep the tendon warm so that I'm ready to run and train outside."
ANALYSIS
Gvardiol had a slow start to the season, missing the pre-season and the first three games of the Premier League campaign as he has been struggling with patella tendonitis in his knees for the past 10 months. The Croatian is carefully managing his workload in the gym before every outdoor training session in order to avoid any injury. Since returning to the pitch, Gvardiol has played all the games in the backline except one against Everton in the Premier League, contributing two assists, 12 tackles, 14 interceptions and 43 clearances in 11 appearances across all competitions.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to sign new deal
Gvardiol is expected to sign a new contract with Manchester City in the coming weeks, according to The Daily Star.
ANALYSIS
Several teams are interested in signing Gvardiol, but landing him won't be easy, as Manchester City have no interest in parting ways with him. Manchester City are set to offer the 22-year-old an improved contract worth £150,000 a week to extend his stay at the Etihad Stadium by two years. That would keep him under contract until the end of the 2029/30 season.
