2025 Fantasy Outlook
Livramento broke through during the 2024/25 season with 32 starts in 37 appearances, reaching nearly 3,000 minutes. He played both left- and right-back, moving to the left side after Lewis Hall went down injured late in the season. Despite taking the spot of Kieran Trippier in the XI, his attacking numbers were fairly dour with just six shots and 26 chances created. He's a lock for the starting XI and has stayed healthy in his short career, but a lack of attacking upside limits him in fantasy with most of his numbers of the defensive variety for Newcastle.
Still building fitness
Livramento is still building fitness and appears to be outside of a starting role until he is a bit healthier, according to manager Eddie Howe. "He probably hasn't done enough training for me to feel 100% confident he can be in the best physical moment to start, especially in such a big game, but he's in our squad. Anyone who is in that position is in contention to play, so it's a balance with Tino at the moment. He's a massive player for us, and it's great to have him back, but I have to try and get the team selection right."
ANALYSIS
Livramento returned to the bench over the weekend for FA Cup play, receiving 10 minutes from the bench. That said, it doesn't appear the defender is yet fit enough to start, still needing to do a bit more work in training. He will likely only be a bench option to face Barcelona on Tuesday, more likely to start when facing Chelsea on Saturday.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Arsenal could make approach
Arsenal could attempt a summer move for Livramento, according to The Telegraph.
ANALYSIS
Even though Arsenal have decent depth at both full-back roles, they're lacking a true difference-maker at the position. They're ready to challenge Manchester City for the signing of the Newcastle star, but it's unclear of Newcastle will accept any offers from the Gunners.
