Youri Tielemans
28-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.
Two shots in defeat
Tielemans registered two shots (zero on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Brentford.
ANALYSIS
Despite the loss, Tielemans delivered a solid performance with two shots and three chances created, which stands as an improvement over a much quieter season opener. He also racked up 78 completed passes, compared to just 14 in the last game. On the other side, he registered a tackle won for a second consecutive game.
