Scores in win over Villarreal
M/DAtlético Madrid
April 5, 2024
Witsel scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Monday's 2-1 victory versus Villarreal.
ANALYSIS
Witsel opened the scoring for Atletico Madrid inside the opening 10 minutes, as the towering center-back nodded home a perfect cross from Rodrigo Riquelme. Witsel's aerial ability has also been an asset for his teams, and Atletico won't be the exception. However, he'll earn most of his fantasy value through defensive stats going forward.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could move stateside
M/DFree Agent
March 24, 2024
Inter Miami and LA Galaxy are keeping close tabs on Witsel, according to Ekrem Konur.
ANALYSIS
The 35-year-old has made 42 appearances across all competitions for Atletico Madrid this season, playing mostly as a center-back. However, there has been no indication of the Spanish club wanting to extend his contract, and if that's the case, then the Belgian could be on the move this summer as a free agent. He'd be an excellent addition for any team in the MLS.
