Josko Gvardiol
23-Year-Old
Manchester City
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gvardiol was arguably one of City's best players in their letdown of a 2024/25 campaign, starting 36 matches while serving between left-back and center-back, depending on where he was needed by Pep Guardiola. His two-way ability was once again on full display as he led the left flank, advancing at any chance he could to help the attack, earning him five goals despite the defender tag. He's unlikely to take a step down from this level in a system that fits perfectly to his game, though following the addition of Rayan Ait-Nouri, it does seem like he'll play more as a center-back going forward, which could lead to less time on the ball around the opponent's box.
Solid defensively
Gvardiol registered two tackles (two won), nine clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Arsenal.
ANALYSIS
Gvardiol was back in the center of the defense Sunday, registering a solid match against the Gunners. His club would park the bus for most of the second half, leading to a lot of defensive stats, notching two tackles won, two interceptions and nine clearances. This continues the trend of minimal attacking work, likely to continue if he remains in a central role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to sign new deal
Gvardiol is expected to sign a new contract with Manchester City in the coming weeks, according to The Daily Star.
ANALYSIS
Several teams are interested in signing Gvardiol, but landing him won't be easy, as Manchester City have no interest in parting ways with him. Manchester City are set to offer the 22-year-old an improved contract worth £150,000 a week to extend his stay at the Etihad Stadium by two years. That would keep him under contract until the end of the 2029/30 season.
