Neco Williams
24-Year-Old
Nottingham Forest
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Williams became a regular during the 2024/25 season, netting a full-time spot instead of a rotational role like the previous two seasons. He surpassed 2,000 league minutes for the first time, earning close to 2,600 minutes. Defensively, he notched 31 interceptions, 90 tackles and 120 clearances, an impressive line for a full-back. He also netted a goal and three assists. Given that he unleashed 37 shots, there's a chance for more offensive production if a bit luckier. Williams found himself a vital piece in the XI last season and if he can stay healthy, 3,000 minutes are on the table for him.
Scores goal
Williams scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and seven crosses (one accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Burnley.
ANALYSIS
In just five appearances this season, Williams is already on Nottingham's scoresheet. He has a strong chance to surpass his goal tally from last season, with one goal. However, Williams is not expected to become a scoring force, considering the aforementioned goal came across 35 appearances (28 starts) that saw him log fewer than eight shots on target. In each of Forest's previous three seasons, he logged exactly one goal twice.
