Thiago Almada
24-Year-Old
Atlético Madrid
La Liga
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.
Relegated to minimal role
Almada has been an unused substitute in three of Atletico Madrid's last five matches between LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League.
ANALYSIS
Almada started the first three matches of the 2025/26 season but didn't do so again until a three-game stretch in LaLiga between Jan. 31 and Feb. 15. He's been a backup option for manager Diego Simeone and has failed to take advantage of the opportunities he's generated as well, tallying just two chances created and not a single shot in those two starts this month. Don't expect Almada to see regular playing time for Atletico as long as the team stays healthy, leaving him as a rotation alternative and not much else.
