Nico Williams
23-Year-Old
Athletic
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Williams appeared in 29 La Liga matches for Athletic during the 2024/25 season, scoring five goals and providing five assists in what was one of his most complete campaigns to date. His pace, dribbling, and improved decision-making in the final third made him a constant threat on the left wing. After signing a contract extension through 2035, he remains central to Athletic Club's long-term plans. Heading into the 2025/26 season, if he can build on his output from the last two campaigns, he should reach double digits in goal contributions and could aim to surpass the 20-goal contribution mark across all competitions, with the Champions League returning to the Basque region.
Beginning match from bench
Williams (groin) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Mallorca.
ANALYSIS
Williams returns as excepted, but is only ready for a role among the substitutes to begin Saturday's fixture. The attacker has missed the last six matches in all competitions so he'll likely be eased back into action with minutes from the bench in the second half.
