2025 Fantasy Outlook
Rodrygo struggled with consistency during the 2024/25 season, finishing with six goals and five assists in 30 La Liga appearances (22 starts). He logged just under 2,000 minutes, his lowest total since 2021/22, with his role in the starting XI fluctuating due to the arrival of Kylian Mbappe. Unfortunately, nothing is likely to change in the new season, as there's not enough room in the team for him to see a regular starting role. When in the XI, Rodrygo provides plenty of value with some set pieces sprinkled in, but inconsistent minutes keep him from being a bigger fantasy factor.
Undergoes successful surgery
Rodrygo has been successfully operated following his ACL injury and will now begin his rehabilitation work that should keep him sidelined until 2027, the club announced.
ANALYSIS
Rodrygo tore his ACL last week and has since gone under the knife, with surgeon Manuel Leyes successfully performing the operation in recent days. The Brazilian winger now shifts his focus to the long road back, beginning a rehab process that is expected to keep him on the sidelines until 2027, given the typical nine-month recovery window for this type of injury. In the meantime, Vinicius Junior is set to carry a heavier share of the attacking load with both Kylian Mbappe (knee) and Rodrygo out. Franco Mastantuono, Brahim Diaz and especially Gonzalo Garcia are expected to be the likely option to step into the front line alongside the number seven until the injured stars make their return.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could head to Liverpool
Liverpool would be interested in a swap deal that would send Rodrygo to Anfield Road, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes.
ANALYSIS
The full deal would see Rodrygo head to Liverpool and Dominik Szoboszlai move to Real Madrid. Since Liverpool are in dire need of a proven winger who can make an impact at the highest level, it seems this could be a deal that would benefit both parties. Liverpool are stacked in midfield and could part ways with Szoboszlai in order to strengthen other area of the pitch.
