John McGinn
30-Year-Old

Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
McGinn was ever-present for Villa in 2024/25, combining energy, leadership and clutch performances in big games. He chipped in one goal and four assists in the Premier League while often covering ground box-to-box. His pressing intensity and ability to carry the ball through midfield remained vital in Villa's most competitive stretches. Heading into 2025/26, McGinn is still a central figure but may face more rotation with added depth. His ability to play in multiple positions should remain a key to playing time, but as seen last season when he scored three goals in Champions League compared to one in domestic play, upside is mostly inconsistent.
Solid service
McGinn generated two shots (zero on goal), seven crosses (three accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Sunderland.
ANALYSIS
McGinn was able to accurately put balls in the box, but he was unable to connect with a teammate to get an assist in what ended up being a draw. The veteran midfielder will need to post similar numbers on Thursday if Aston Villa hope to break a Bologna defense which has only allowed three goals through four Serie A games.
