Ollie Watkins
30-Year-Old
Aston Villa
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Watkins delivered another strong campaign in 2024/25, finishing with 16 goals in the Premier League while leading the line with intensity. He added eight assists and showed improved link-up play in Unai Emery's system. This came after a slow start in which Jhon Duran stole playing time. Entering 2025/26, he should remain the focal point in a potent attack that'll stay aggressive in both domestic and European play. If he stays healthy, Watkins could flirt with 20 goals with 10-plus assists being the ideal situation for fantasy purposes.
Scores in win
Watkins scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 win against Nottingham Forest.
ANALYSIS
Watkins buried a shot from outside the box, assisted by Morgan Rogers early in first-half extra time. This marked the third straight game with a goal for Watkins, who is up to seven through 20 appearances on the season. Additionally, he is up to 11 shots and seven shots on target over the last three games but on the other hand, he has not recorded double digits in completed passes in six straight league outings.
