Youri Tielemans
29-Year-Old
Aston Villa
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tielemans was an undisputed starter and leader for Aston Villa throughout the 2024/25 season, contributing consistently in midfield with three goals, seven assists and smart distribution. He offers control in possession and composure under pressure, and his ability to dictate tempo and connect phases of play made him one of the most reliable midfielders in the league. With two full seasons under Unai Emery, Tielemans enters 2025/26 well positioned to build on his production and remain a central figure. The main question for upside is whether he'll play more in an attacking role or sit deeper next to a defensive midfielder, something that often changes during a match.
Five crosses Sunday
Tielemans generated five crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.
ANALYSIS
Tielemans recorded five crosses in Sunday's loss, though he failed to record an accurate cross or chance created in the loss. He also did not take a single shot. He was slightly more active on the defensive end, recording one tackle, two interceptions and one clearance across his 90 minutes of action.
