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.
Unlikely for derby
Vivian (thigh) is unlikely for Sunday's derby against Real Sociedad after not training yet this week, coach Ernesto Valverde said in the press conference, according to Radio Nervion. "Vivian hasn't trained all week."
ANALYSIS
Vivian hasn't trained all week and is doubtful for Sunday's match against Real Sociedad. The defender is an undisputed starter in central defense, having started 24 of his 25 appearances across all competitions this season. With Aymeric Laporte out and Vivian's status uncertain, Aitor Paredes and Inigo Lekue could see increased minutes until he is fit.
