2025 Fantasy Outlook
Huijsen is another new defensive addition for Real Madrid, and potentially the most important one. He was one of the best young center-backs in the Premier League last season, excellent on the ball and stout defensively. He offered some upside offensively, scoring three goals and adding a pair of assists, as well as tacking on the usual defensive stats. He won't have nearly as much to do in his own box for Madrid, but he should get plenty of chances for clean sheets, and he has the ability to be a major threat from set pieces.
Unlikely against Manchester City
Huijsen (undisclosed) is still dealing with a muscle overload and didn't train on Tuesday, suggesting he is unlikely to feature in Wednesday's Champions League clash against Manchester City, according to Miguel Angel Diaz from COPE.
ANALYSIS
Huijsen is still dealing with a muscle overload and is yet to resume team training with the Merengues. The center-back is a big loss for Real Madrid while sidelined since he is expected to be an undisputed starter in the defense when fit, and his absence is forcing a change in the starting XI, with Raul Asencio likely starting in his spot for the next fixtures given the numerous absences in the backline.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Two EPL giants after him
Arsenal and Liverpool are vying to sign Huijsen, according to Sky Germany.
ANALYSIS
Huijsen seems set to leave Bournemouth in the summer, and all signs point to the center-back playing in a bigger club in the 2025-26 season. Both Arsenal and Liverpool could use him, but Real Madrid, a team with even bigger needs defensively, could move for him as well. The Spanish international would be keen on joining Real Madrid if the chance arises.
