La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Raphinha enjoyed a sensational 2024/25 season, scoring 18 goals and adding nine assists in 36 La Liga appearances. He emerged as a key figure under new manager Hansi Flick, especially in clutch moments, creating 91 chances, delivering 215 crosses and taking 140 corners, establishing himself as a creative threat from set pieces and open play. His role expanded significantly, and he was decisive 48 times across all competitions, eventually earning the captain's armband. Heading into 2025/26, with renewed confidence and tactical freedom, Raphinha is expected to remain a primary attacking outlet, though with some changes in the attack and gradual improvement of Lamine Yamal, it's a wonder if his opportunities on the ball wild drop. Nevertheless, with a starting role in this attack, the production will come no matter how things play out.
On bench against Athletic
Raphinha (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Raphinha is finally ready to return to action after he suffered a setback before the Clasico against Real Madrid in October. Coach Hansi Flick does not see him as an option to start for this match, and he will instead begin on the bench as he continues building fitness. He should still see minutes in the second half with the plan remaining to prepare him for the Champions League match against Chelsea next week.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Target for Red Devils
Raphinha is on Manchester United's shortlist for the 2026/27 season, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes.
ANALYSIS
It's not surprising to see Manchester United keeping close tabs on the Brazilian winger, who had a career-best season in 2024/25 with 34 goals and 26 assists across all competitions. However, signing the Brazilian winger will be expensive, as the 28-year-old could cost around £120 million, and that's only if Barcelona are open to negotiating.
