Ayoze Perez
32-Year-Old
Villarreal
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Perez was coming off a nine-goal performance in the 2023/24 season with Real Betis, but he went to Villarreal and seemingly turned into a new player. He ended the 2024/25 campaign with 19 goals and two assists across 30 league outings. It'd be a surprise if he came close to those numbers again, but it's not like his goals came in bunches, and he scored eight times across his final 10 appearances. While 19 may not be on the table again, another double-digit output seems like a good possibility.
Option from bench
Perez (hamstring) is on the bench for Monday's match against Espanyol.
ANALYSIS
Perez needed some testing for Monday's match, but appears to be fit again, with the attacker on the bench. He has served in more of a rotational spot this season after an injury limited him at the beginning of the season, starting in six of his 14 appearances while recording two goals and three assists.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could return to England
West Ham are interested in Perez, according to Caught Offside.
ANALYSIS
The Hammers are interested in bringing the former Leicester and Newcastle forward back to the Premier League. West Ham have lacked depth upfront this season, and they believe the 31-year-old Villarreal player, who's having an excellent start to the season in 2024/25, can improve their attacking options.
