Moises Caicedo
23-Year-Old
Chelsea
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Caicedo bounced back in 2024/25, showing flashes of the player Chelsea expected when they signed him. After a somewhat disappointing 2023/24, he contributed one goal, two assists and 114 tackles. Most importantly, he started every Premier League match, anchoring the midfield with consistency and control. Adding Champions League may mean that he's not allowed to rest as much in European play, but it's still expected he'll be around 35 starts in league play, assuming he maintains his health. While the upside isn't there as a defensive midfielder, his variety and consistency from defensive stats provides a decent floor.
Scores in Wednesday's win
Caicedo scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 5-1 win versus Ajax.
ANALYSIS
Caicedo scored his first Champions League goal of the season Wednesday, an outside the box strike in the 27th minute assisted by Jamie Gittens. He now has four goals in all competitions this season, already matching his total from the last three seasons combined. It's unclear if this goalscoring increase is an anomaly or if this is just an expanded part of his game. If it's the latter, that combined with his defensive contributions makes him a valuable asset.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Real Madrid could move for him
Real Madrid are expected to make a summer move for Caicedo, according to TEAMTalk.
ANALYSIS
Chelsea have no concern over the future of the 23-year-old Ecuador midfielder despite the fact that Real Madrid are decided to move for him in the summer of 2026. The Blues are expected to offer Caicedo a new contract to ward off interest from Los Merengues, as they feel the former Brighton star is a key player in midfield, and one they wouldn't be able to replace if he were to leave the team.
