2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ait-Nouri heads to Manchester City with decent expectations after he was their first signing of the summer from Wolverhampton. He'll likely open as a left-back with tons of range to sit in the attack to rip shots and crosses. At Wolves last season, he had four goals and seven assists in 37 starts, numbers that seem a little too difficult to replicate given that he won't be as big of a focal point. Still, he'll be primed for more clean sheets and offers tons in the attack as a defender, so the upside is evident as long as the starting minutes are there.
Will represent Algeria
Ait-Nouri is not available for the time being as he will represent Algeria at AFCON.
ANALYSIS
Ait-Nouri is out for likely around the next month, as the defender will head to AFCON and serve with Algeria until their elimination. This will leave the club without their first replacement at left-back, with Josko Gvadriol or Nathan Ake as possible options at left-back if something were to happen to Nico O'Reilly. With Algeria one of the favorites in the tournament, he is likely to make a deep run and be unavailable for most of January.
