Jose Maria Gimenez
31-Year-Old
Atlético Madrid
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gimenez was busy throughout the 2024/25 season, recording 115 clearances, 27 interceptions and 26 tackles across 27 appearances (20 starts). The Uruguayan international was a regular at center-back, but some rotation would be surprising if Clement Lenglet and Robin Le Normand are also fit. His upside is capped since the only area where he contributes reliably is defensive stats such as clearances, tackles and interceptions. That said, Atleti's defensive prowess and tendency to secure clean sheets could boost Gimenez's outlook, as usual.
Doubtful after missing practice
Gimenez could miss Wednesday's Champions League clash with Barcelona as he picked up an issue during the last league game and didn't train with the squad Monday, El Observador reports.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez's status is now unclear following a run of three appearances off the bench across all club competitions. Even if he achieves a quick recovery, his involvement might be limited in the upcoming UCL action, but his absence would reduce the team's defensive depth behind Robin Le Normand, David Hancko, Marc Pubill (ribs) and Clement Lenglet. The Uruguayan has made 12 La Liga starts this season but has been frequently limited by injuries and rotation.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could head to Saudi Arabia
Two teams in the Saudi Pro League are interested in signing Gimenez, according to Diego Paez de Roque of El Desmarque.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez is one of the most reliable defensive alternatives at Atletico Madrid, but it wouldn't be shocking if the defender changes teams in the summer. After all, Atletico are keen on signing Cristian Romero, and they already feature Clement Lenglet and Robin Le Normand on the current roster. If the contract is attractive, which is sure to be the case, expect Gimenez to consider his exit from the Wanda Metropolitano.
