Ollie Watkins
30-Year-Old
Aston Villa
Premier
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.
Denied by post
Watkins generated four shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 0-0 draw versus Crystal Palace.
ANALYSIS
Watkins entered the match in strong form after scoring four goals in his previous three games from 11 attempts and continued to threaten, taking four shots. He was unlucky not to score, striking the post with a header and missing a one-on-one opportunity against Dean Henderson.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Backup plan for Arsenal
Arsenal are expected to attempt a move for Watkins if they can't sign Viktor Gyokeres, according to The Mirror.
ANALYSIS
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has set a deadline of less than two weeks for the club to agree a deal for the 27-year-old Swedish striker. After that, they're expected to pivot to other options, and the Aston Villa star is one of the options they're expected to consider. Other clubs in the Premier League are keen on Watkins, though it's uncertain if Aston Villa will be open to his departure.
