Junior Firpo
29-Year-Old
Betis
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Firpo returns to La Liga after an extremely successful stint with Leeds United, especially last season, where he tallied four goals and 10 assists in the Championship. That sort of production isn't likely to translate directly with a major step up in competition, but Firpo should still offer plenty of upside going forward. Betis allowed a little over one goal per match last season and should be generally competent defensively, adding some nice clean sheet upside for Firpo as well. The only uncertainty is if he can totally displace Ricardo Rodriguez for the starting left-back job, though at the very least he should see a split of the time.
Back available Saturday
Firpo (undisclosed) trained all week with the team and is an option for Saturday's clash against Real Sociedad, according to Zona Mixta.
ANALYSIS
Firpo had been ruled out since late March while building his fitness back up, but completing a full week of training is the clearest sign yet that he is ready to return to the matchday squad. The left-back has missed seven consecutive matches and will likely ease back in from the bench rather than jumping straight into the starting lineup, but his availability gives coach Manuel Pellegrini more options on the left flank heading into the final fixtures of Real Betis's season.
