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.
Sent off for hand ball
Williams was shown a red card in the first half of Sunday's match against Crystal Palace.
ANALYSIS
Williams was shown his marching orders Sunday, sent off early in the match after stopping a clear goal-scoring opportunity, sticking out his hand on the goal line to knock the ball away. This will force him to miss another match, not an option to face Leeds United on Feb. 6, returning to face Wolves on Feb. 11. This will then force a change, with Oleksandr Zinchenko as a possible replacement at left-back.
