Kylian Mbappe
27-Year-Old
Real Madrid
La Liga
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 3/17/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mbappe is fresh off the 2024/25 season in which he won the Golden Boot with 31 goals in 34 starts. It didn't lead to trophies, but he scored goals and stayed fairly healthy, which is what he's paid for. Under new manager Xabi Alonso, there will be changes to Real Madrid's formation and style of play, but 30-plus goals are again in play for Mbappe if he can start 30-plus matches. Not many in the league can compete with his output and shot production, which will have him as one of the first players off the draft board once again.
Aiming return in UCL
Mbappe (knee) is aiming a return for Tuesday's second leg against Manchester City in the Champions League, according to coach Alvaro Arbeloa, per Madrid Xtra. "Kylian will not play tomorrow but we hope to have him for Manchester City."
ANALYSIS
Mbappe won't be available for Saturday's clash with Elche as he continues working his way back from recurring knee problems, though the superstar is expected to return for Tuesday's Champions League second leg against Manchester City. That would be massive news for the Merengues, as it means he would have missed only five matches before making his comeback, and getting him back would give a major lift to the attack considering his 36 goals in 31 appearances across all competitions this season. In the meantime, Brahim Diaz or Gonzalo Garcia are the leading candidates to step into the starting XI against the Franjiverdes.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Real Madrid to announce move?
Real Madrid are ready to announce the signing of Mbappe before the start of the Euros, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
ANALYSIS
Real Madrid are fresh off winning their 15th Champions League title in club history, but the team is not done when it comes to adding new signings. Pairing Mbappe with the likes of Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo or Jude Bellingham would make Real Madrid even more dangerous than what they were in 2023/24, when they won the league title and the Champions League.
