Thiago Almada
24-Year-Old
Atlético Madrid
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Almada had a disappointing spell in Lyon during his last time in Europe, moving to Botafogo before Atleti decided to bring him back into a top league. The attacking midfielder should take an immediate role in the starting XI and has immense upside in a strong attacking unit. with Lyon he scored once and added four assists in under 1,000 minutes, but his real upside is from his MVP-level play in MLS. Almada will be linking up with one of the best attacks in the league, including clinical finishers like Antoine Griezmann and Alexander Sorloth, which should help his numbers as a prolific chance creator. Double-digit goal contributions will be the expectation for Almada, and if he integrates into the squad quickly it's possible he comes away with more than that.
Scores off bench
Thiago Almada scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 3-0 victory versus Mallorca.
ANALYSIS
Almada returned to the bench after starting the previous two matches in all competitions, with Alex Baena taking his place in the lineup. He still made an impact off the bench, scoring his third league goal with a well-taken strike during an 18-minute cameo. The midfielder has made just three starts across his last 19 appearances, and the goal does not secure a return to the starting XI as he faces competition for minutes with Baena and the returning Nicolas Gonzalez, who was the preferred option before his injury.
