Pau Torres
28-Year-Old
Aston Villa
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Torres built on a strong debut campaign by delivering an even more assured 2024/25 season, showcasing calm under pressure and elite passing from the back. He started regularly when fit and maintained a reliable partnership with Ezri Konsa across all competitions. His ability to break lines with the ball and stay composed in tight areas elevated Villa's build-up play throughout the season. Entering his third year under Unai Emery, Torres is poised to reach a new level in 2025/26. If Villa continue to control possession and limit transitions, he could establish himself as one of the league's premier ball-playing center-backs with hopefully more clean sheets on the horizon.
Strong defensive performance
Torres registered six clearances and one interception in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Manchester United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 73rd minute.
ANALYSIS
Torres led a 10-man Aston Villa defensive effort Sunday with six clearances, though they were unable to hold off the Manchester United attack in a 2-0 defeat. Overall, the central defender made 24 Premier League starts (23 appearances) this season, missing a two-month stretch of matches due to injury. When healthy, Torres remains one of the top choices at center-back for Aston Villa, seeing two goal contributions while adding 23 interceptions, 56 tackles and 58 clearances in the defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Man United looking at him
Manchester United are interested in signing Torres, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes.
ANALYSIS
The Red Devils are prepared to offer close to £42 million for the 27-year-old Spain defender. However, signing a center-back would be an odd move for the club. They already have Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire, as well as Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans, as senior alternatives for the position.
