MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Rusnak finally delivered the sensational season everyone had been waiting for in his third year with Seattle. Repositioned as a playmaker and true No. 10, Rusnak thrived in 2024, making 35 appearances (playoffs included) and contributing 10 goals and 12 assists. He was a constant offensive threat, taking 60 shots, creating 84 chances and delivering 166 crosses. His precision on set pieces was unmatched, as he took a career-high 142 corners. Rusnak's ability to control the tempo, unlock defenses and lead the attack made him an invaluable asset. Heading into 2025, he will remain the creative engine for Seattle, looking to build on this breakout campaign and elevating the team further.
Set to return against SKC
Rusnak (hamstring) is "available and ready to go" ahead of Saturday's clash against Sporting Kansas City, according to coach Brian Schmetzer, Jackson Felts of KJR Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Rusnak produced two goals and three assists across seven matches played before missing one game with his muscle injury. In addition to his open play output, he's one of the squad's main set-piece takers, so he should have plenty of offensive value when he's back on the pitch. He'll be in contention with Jesus Ferreira going forward.
