Murillo
23-Year-Old
Nottingham Forest
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Combining Murillo with Nikola Milenkovic, Nottingham Forest's central defense was a key part to their 2024/25 season. Murillo steadily improved in his second Premier League season and started all but two matches, playing through numerous minor ailments. He reached almost seven clearances per game to go with 11 clean sheets. He's less of a threat on sets than Milenkovic, which means he's unlikely to improve much on his two goals and zero assists, though there's no reason all of his numbers can't look fairly similar in the 2025/26 campaign.
Starts Sunday
Murillo (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Brentford.
ANALYSIS
Murillo was concerned with a hamstring injury but is now back in the team, missing only one game as he finds the start against the Bees. The Brazilian is a regular central defender for the club, with 18 appearances (18 starts) in league play, unlikely to lose this role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Top target for Red Devils?
Manchester United are interested in making a move for Murillo, according to The Daily Mail.
ANALYSIS
Manchester United are looking to sign a center-back in the summer, targeting a player who could be a long-term replacement for Harry Maguire and be on the same timeline as the likes of Leny Yoro and Matthijs De Ligt. Murillo fits all the boxes, but it won't be easy to sign him. Nottingham Forest aren't keen on parting ways with the Brazilian, and if they do, expect Barcelona to enter the race for the former Palmeiras star.
