Oscar Mingueza
26-Year-Old
Celta Vigo
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mingueza played in 34 La Liga games during the 2024/25 campaign and delivered steady production at both ends of the pitch, marking his best career season with ten goal contributions and his second with over 2,700 league minutes. He contributed to four goals and remained a reliable option across multiple positions in the backline. His versatility and durability made him the second of the most used players in the squad in 2024/25. Heading into 2025/26, Mingueza is expected to remain a central part of the defensive structure, though clean sheets will remain hard to come by.
Wins 10 duels in victory
Mingueza recorded five tackles (three won) and one clearance in Sunday's 2-0 win against Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Mingueza was effective at recovering and maintaining possession on the left flank, although he wasn't a big threat up front during this clash. His five tackles were a season-high tally after 19 appearances in all competitions. With set pieces becoming increasingly scarce for him, his value should continue to come from defensive output against most opposition, and possibly some creative actions in favorable matchups.

Forced off due to illness
Mingueza was forced off at halftime of Sunday's 4-2 defeat against Barcelona due to illness, coach Claudio Giraldez said in a press conference, according to Cadenaser. "He wasn't feeling well. He had stomach problems before the game and I should have substituted him in the 40th minute. We didn't want to waste the window before halftime and that's where we failed to adjust that corridor; Rashford caused us a lot of problems in those final moments of the first half."
