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.
Makes return Sunday
Williams had five crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Getafe.
ANALYSIS
Williams made his return to the pitch Sunday after missing nearly two months with a groin injury. He subbed onto the field at halftime and instantly made an impact, recording five crosses and creating two chances over the second half of the contest. Now that he's back healthy, he has a good chance to return to the starting XI Sunday versus Villarreal.
