Sandro Tonali
25-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tonali completed his first full year with Newcastle after he was suspended for most of his debut season, starting 28 of 36 appearances. He plays deepest of Newcastle's midfielders, which led to only four goals and two assists, but his upside was seen later in the season when he took set pieces. While that's not a certainty in the new season, there's a chance Tonali may have won the job and if that's the case, set pieces from a defensive midfielder gives you a little bit of everything in fantasy, something that could be useful later in drafts.
Returns to action with Italy
Tonali (groin) started and scored in Thursday's World Cup playoff match against Northern Ireland.
ANALYSIS
Tonali was able to recover quickly from a groin ailment, as expected, after sitting out the previous Premier League contest. He has gotten the nod in the last nine matches he was available for, sending in at least one cross in each of them, racking up 33 deliveries (nine accurate) and adding 20 corners and 15 key passes during that stretch, with three goals and two assists. Furthermore, he has tallied at least one tackle in his last three displays, amassing four (three won).

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Target for Real Madrid?
Real Madrid could make a move to sign Tonali in the summer, according to TEAMTalk.
ANALYSIS
Tonali is looking increasingly likely to leave Newcastle United in the summer, and the playmaker could be a target for Real Madrid, as Los Merengues should have enough money to sign him on a permanent transfer. Tonali is keen on returning to Italy, and other Premier League clubs are keen on him, so Real Madrid will have a tough time signing him.
