Nico Williams
23-Year-Old
Athletic
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Williams appeared in 29 La Liga matches for Athletic during the 2024/25 season, scoring five goals and providing five assists in what was one of his most complete campaigns to date. His pace, dribbling, and improved decision-making in the final third made him a constant threat on the left wing. After signing a contract extension through 2035, he remains central to Athletic Club's long-term plans. Heading into the 2025/26 season, if he can build on his output from the last two campaigns, he should reach double digits in goal contributions and could aim to surpass the 20-goal contribution mark across all competitions, with the Champions League returning to the Basque region.
Stars in season debut
Williams scored a goal and added an assist while taking four shots (one on goal), crossing three times (one accurate) and creating three chances during Sunday's 3-2 win over Sevilla.
ANALYSIS
Williams opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 36th minute before setting up Robert Navarro for the game winning goal in the 81st. Williams is off to an excellent start after combining for just 10 goal involvements last year as he also led Athletic in both shots and chances created in the victory.
