Ollie Watkins
30-Year-Old
Aston Villa
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Watkins delivered another strong campaign in 2024/25, finishing with 16 goals in the Premier League while leading the line with intensity. He added eight assists and showed improved link-up play in Unai Emery's system. This came after a slow start in which Jhon Duran stole playing time. Entering 2025/26, he should remain the focal point in a potent attack that'll stay aggressive in both domestic and European play. If he stays healthy, Watkins could flirt with 20 goals with 10-plus assists being the ideal situation for fantasy purposes.
Scores late goal to secure 2-0 win
Watkins scored one goal to go with four shots (three on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-0 win over Newcastle United.
ANALYSIS
Watkins scored his eighth Premier League goal this season. He hadn't scored in two games before this, but scored four in the three games before that. He has attempted four or more shots seven times this season, with this only being the third time he has put three on target. Of the seven games in which he has taken four shots or more, six have been away from home.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Backup plan for Arsenal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has set a deadline of less than two weeks for the club to agree a deal for the 27-year-old Swedish striker. After that, they're expected to pivot to other options, and the Aston Villa star is one of the options they're expected to consider. Other clubs in the Premier League are keen on Watkins, though it's uncertain if Aston Villa will be open to his departure.
