Julian Alvarez
26-Year-Old
Atlético Madrid
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Alvarez enjoyed an incredible first season with Los Colchoneros. The Argentinian forward notched 17 goals and four assists across 37 appearances (30 starts) in league play while also tallying 40 chances created and 50 corners taken. Even better, he didn't start taking corners until late November. Alvarez established himself as the go-to attacking weapon even though Alexander Sorloth was the leading scorer with 20 goals. Regardless of whether he plays alongside Antoine Griezmann or Sorloth, expect Alvarez to play a prominent role upfront with one of the highest ceilings in the league.
One shot Friday
Alvarez had one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 3-2 victory over Cape Verde.
ANALYSIS
Alvarez came off the bench once again for Argentina, only starting in one match so far this World Cup. He would get 57 minutes of play and recorded a shot, although it was not on target. It waits to be seen if he will start again this tournament, as Argentina's other forward, Lautaro Martinez, failed to record a shot for the second time in a match this tournament on Friday, although he did score in their group stage finale.
