Neco Williams
24-Year-Old
Nottingham Forest
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Williams became a regular during the 2024/25 season, netting a full-time spot instead of a rotational role like the previous two seasons. He surpassed 2,000 league minutes for the first time, earning close to 2,600 minutes. Defensively, he notched 31 interceptions, 90 tackles and 120 clearances, an impressive line for a full-back. He also netted a goal and three assists. Given that he unleashed 37 shots, there's a chance for more offensive production if a bit luckier. Williams found himself a vital piece in the XI last season and if he can stay healthy, 3,000 minutes are on the table for him.
Wins eight duels in loss to Cherries
Williams generated three shots (one on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Sunday's 2-0 loss to AFC Bournemouth.
ANALYSIS
Williams made solid contributions Sunday at left-back but his efforts were not enough to contain an assertive Bournemouth attack. He won eight of the 10 duels he engaged in, two of the three tackles, and executed two interceptions, two clearances and four recoveries. He was also able to place a shot on target and had another attempt blocked. The regular starter has got onto the scoresheet once but has yet to contribute to a clean sheet; his performance is not helped by a weak Forest defensive line around him.
