2025 Fantasy Outlook
Watkins delivered another strong campaign in 2024/25, finishing with 16 goals in the Premier League while leading the line with intensity. He added eight assists and showed improved link-up play in Unai Emery's system. This came after a slow start in which Jhon Duran stole playing time. Entering 2025/26, he should remain the focal point in a potent attack that'll stay aggressive in both domestic and European play. If he stays healthy, Watkins could flirt with 20 goals with 10-plus assists being the ideal situation for fantasy purposes.
Fit moving forward

Watkins (leg) is an option for Sunday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Unai Emery. "Tomorrow we will train again, and normally he will be ready for Sunday."
ANALYSIS
Watkins had to withdraw from the England national team but is back in contention for the club, as the forward is back training with his club ahead of Sunday's contest. He will now look to earn the start immediately now that he is deemed fit, starting in eight of his nine appearances this season while bagging one goal on 15 shots.
