2025 Fantasy Outlook
Dias has been a familiar face at Manchester City as a regular starter, finishing his fifth season with the club during the 2024/25 campaign. He once again maintained his role in the center of the defense to start 25 matches, missing a few spells due to injury. His role seems unlikely to change heading into the new campaign as City look to get back to their top levels. Of course, City battled numerous defensive injuries last season and given that Dias is edging closer to 30, it wouldn't be surprising if he was rotated more if other center-backs in the squad are healthy. Nevertheless, a starting center-back on City always has fantasy value, stemming from clean sheets and upside from their many set pieces.
Getting better, still doubtful
Dias (hamstring) didn't rejoin his teammates in training yet and remains a doubt for Monday's clash against Everton, according to coach Pep Guardiola. "Ruben is not yet with the team. He is getting better."
ANALYSIS
Dias has been sidelined for several weeks with a hamstring injury and his continued absence from team training is a concern for City heading into the final stretch of what remains a tightly contested title race. Abdukodir Khusanov and Marc Guehi have been forming the central defensive partnership in his absence, and the club will assess his progress over the coming days before making a final call on his involvement against Everton on Monday.
