Youri Tielemans
28-Year-Old
Aston Villa
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tielemans was an undisputed starter and leader for Aston Villa throughout the 2024/25 season, contributing consistently in midfield with three goals, seven assists and smart distribution. He offers control in possession and composure under pressure, and his ability to dictate tempo and connect phases of play made him one of the most reliable midfielders in the league. With two full seasons under Unai Emery, Tielemans enters 2025/26 well positioned to build on his production and remain a central figure. The main question for upside is whether he'll play more in an attacking role or sit deeper next to a defensive midfielder, something that often changes during a match.
Sets up goal in win
Tielemans assisted once to go with four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Nottingham Forest.
ANALYSIS
Tielemans fed the ball to John McGinn off a fast break, who buried a shot from outside the box to take a 3-1 lead in the 73rd minute of play. This marked the third assist in five games for Tielemans, who is now up to four assists on the season. This also marked the 10th consecutive league appearance where he accounted for at least one chance created, totaling 14 chances created over that span.
