Vinicius Junior
25-Year-Old
Real Madrid
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Vinicius Junior had a solid 2024/25 season, finishing with 11 goals and eight assists in 30 appearances (24 starts). While he continues to be a reliable attacking threat on the wing, recurring injuries have occasionally disrupted his rhythm and consistency. Still, he managed a career-high 81 shots and created 59 chances last season, highlighting his ability to generate opportunities even if he doesn't land on the scoring sheet. With Kylian Mbappe leading the line as Real Madrid's primary striker, Vinicius Junior may not reach 15-plus goals like prior campaigns, but hitting 20-plus goal involvements seems like a good projection depending on health.
Set for prominent role
Vinicius is expected to be one of the key players for Brazil in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
ANALYSIS
Regardless of which position he'll play, the Real Madrid star will have a prominent role for La Canarinha after a 2025/26 season in which he tallied 21 goals and added 10 assists between LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League. Vinicius is considered one of the odds-on favorites to win the Golden Boot if Brazil makes a deep run in the tournament, but his track record with the national team isn't particularly impressive since he has just eight goals in 47 matches with Brazil. Look for Vinicius to operate mainly on the left side of the Brazilian attack, although he could play as a striker at times depending on the matchup.

ANALYSIS
Vinicius Junior has one year left on his current contract at Real Madrid, and there have been plenty of rumors regarding his potential exit.
