2025 Fantasy Outlook
Almada had a disappointing spell in Lyon during his last time in Europe, moving to Botafogo before Atleti decided to bring him back into a top league. The attacking midfielder should take an immediate role in the starting XI and has immense upside in a strong attacking unit. with Lyon he scored once and added four assists in under 1,000 minutes, but his real upside is from his MVP-level play in MLS. Almada will be linking up with one of the best attacks in the league, including clinical finishers like Antoine Griezmann and Alexander Sorloth, which should help his numbers as a prolific chance creator. Double-digit goal contributions will be the expectation for Almada, and if he integrates into the squad quickly it's possible he comes away with more than that.
Out for finale
Almada is out for Sunday's match against Villarreal due to muscular discomfort, according to his club.
ANALYSIS
Almada is not with his team for the season finale, as the attacker instead missed out due to some discomfort. This will end his season a bit early, but it should be nothing to worry about heading into the summer. He then ended his first season with the club, recording three goals and one assist in 27 appearances (16 starts).
