Ezri Konsa
28-Year-Old
Aston Villa
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Konsa was one of Villa's most consistent defenders in 2024/25 once again, showing maturity, strong positioning and composure in one-on-one duels. He's nearly ever-present under Unai Emery, starting all but one of his appearances across league and European fixtures. His ability to read the game and break up attacks anchored Villa's back line during their most demanding stretches. Going into 2025/26, Konsa should continue to evolve into a leader at the back. If Villa maintain a more settled defensive unit, his reliability could translate into more clean sheets and an even stronger platform for success.
Set to start in central defense
Konsa has been named in England's World Cup squad and is expected to form a strong central defensive partnership with Marc Guehi throughout the competition under coach Thomas Tuchel.
ANALYSIS
Konsa ended an impressive season with Aston Villa, having been a consistent and commanding presence at the heart of their defense throughout a campaign that included a Europa League title, bringing the physical dominance, pace and aerial ability that complement Marc Guehi's more technical qualities perfectly. The defender had an extraordinary run of form at international level before this season, having ended on the winning side in 11 consecutive England appearances, the joint longest such run by a defender in Three Lions history. Konsa heads into the World Cup as a trusted and dependable defensive option for manager Tuchel and one of the most experienced figures in a relatively young England back line.
