2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ait-Nouri heads to Manchester City with decent expectations after he was their first signing of the summer from Wolverhampton. He'll likely open as a left-back with tons of range to sit in the attack to rip shots and crosses. At Wolves last season, he had four goals and seven assists in 37 starts, numbers that seem a little too difficult to replicate given that he won't be as big of a focal point. Still, he'll be primed for more clean sheets and offers tons in the attack as a defender, so the upside is evident as long as the starting minutes are there.
Notches three crosses

January 29, 2026
Ait-Nouri generated one shot (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Wednesday's 2-0 win versus Galatasaray.
ANALYSIS
Ait-Nouri would earn the start for a second straight UCL match Wednesday and saw some decent work, recording a shot, three crosses and three chances created in the attack to go along with one tackle, an intercpetion and three clearances in the defense. He will hope this leads to more time after a rough start of the season between injuries and going unused, with only 10 appearances between UCL and league play this campaign.
