2025 Fantasy Outlook
Oyarzabal put together a nearly identical season to his 2023/24 campaign. He scored exactly nine goals and added three assists for the third time in the last four seasons, which almost no one in the world can say from a consistency aspect. His chances created and shots were nearly identical, as well. He may not be at his peak, but he's still a regular in the squad and has a good chance for double-digit goal contributions. A new manager could provide a bit of a spark, as well, with 10-plus goals the hope in 2025/26.
Three goal contributions Sunday
Oyarzabal recorded two goals on five shots and one assist on a chance created in Sunday's 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia.
ANALYSIS
Oyarzabal would start again Sunday as he now has two starts in two World Cup matches, this time only playing until half. The forward would end up bagging a goal in the 21st and 24th minutes, earning a brace in just a few minutes. That said, he would also add an assist, finding Lamine Yamal in the 10th minute. This is a great rebound after the opening tie for Spain, as if Oyarzabal can contribute like this, it will take more pressure off some of their stars.
