Rodrigo Riquelme
26-Year-Old
Betis
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Riquelme signed with Real Betis ahead of the 2025/26 season after a stint at Atletico. He showed creativity and work rate in his previous campaigns, especially when deployed wide or as a tucked-in playmaker. Betis is expected to offer him more consistent minutes in an attacking setup that suits his strengths, as he's projected to start on the left wing. If he adapts quickly to the system, Riquelme could become a steady provider of assists and key passes throughout the campaign, with the aim of surpassing the eight-goal contribution mark he reached in both 2022/23 and 2023/24 with Girona and Atletico.
Scores one goal off bench
Riquelme scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Tuesday's 3-2 win against Girona. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 79th minute.
ANALYSIS
Riquelme came on at halftime in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Girona and proved the decisive substitute, steering home the winning goal in the second half from inside the box after Ez Abde chested the ball down and set him up with a precise cutback to make it 3-2, while adding one crosse and two tackles. The Spanish has now registered one goal and one assist across 21 La Liga appearances this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could leave Atletico this summer
Riquelme could leave Atletico Madrid in the summer, according to Diario AS.
ANALYSIS
The defender has struggled to see regular minutes for Atletico Madrid this season, and he's likely to depart the club in the coming weeks as part of the operation that would send Alex Baena to Los Colchoneros. Riquelme would be a better option at left-back than what Villarreal currently have in their roster.
