2025 Fantasy Outlook
Vivian delivered a full and commanding 2024/25 season, anchoring the back line with strength and composure. He showed consistent aerial dominance, excellent timing in challenges and rarely made mistakes in positioning. He also increased his impact in the final third with a career-high four goals to go with his second-straight season with 12 clean sheets. Entering 2025/26, Vivian is in prime form to continue as a defensive leader. Fairly healthy the last few years, Vivian is one of the more stable center-backs in the league with 10-plus clean sheets almost a lock for him.
Shown red card
Vivian was shown a red card in the 60th minute of Saturday's 2-0 loss to Valencia.
ANALYSIS
Vivian would have to leave the field just 15 minutes following halftime Saturday, with the defender picking up a red card after denying a clear goalscoring opportunity. This will leave the defender out of a further match when facing Girona on Tuesday, likely to have his spot replaced by Aymeric Laporte or Andoni Gorosabel while out. That said, Vivian will return against Villarreal on Sept. 27, likely to see the start once an option again.
