Nico Williams
23-Year-Old
Athletic
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Williams appeared in 29 La Liga matches for Athletic during the 2024/25 season, scoring five goals and providing five assists in what was one of his most complete campaigns to date. His pace, dribbling, and improved decision-making in the final third made him a constant threat on the left wing. After signing a contract extension through 2035, he remains central to Athletic Club's long-term plans. Heading into the 2025/26 season, if he can build on his output from the last two campaigns, he should reach double digits in goal contributions and could aim to surpass the 20-goal contribution mark across all competitions, with the Champions League returning to the Basque region.
Plays from bench again
Williams recorded two crosses in Sunday's 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia.
ANALYSIS
Williams was brought onto the field from the bench once again after the same role in their opener, although he would appear for a bit longer with 29 minutes of play Sunday. He will now push for starting time in the group stage finale, one of Spain's standout players at Euro 2024.
