2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bassett had the best season of his career in 2024, setting career highs in goals (9) and assists (7). However, a quad issue forced him to miss the final four matches of the regular season and the playoffs. Bassett out produced his Non-Penalty Expected Goals and Expected Assists (npxG+xAG) by 5.7 goals, pointing to a regression in decisive actions in 2025. Even with a possible reduction in decisive actions, Bassett will remain a key player in an exciting Colorado Rapids core.
Scores in Thursday's win
Bassett scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Thursday's 5-1 win over Seattle Sounders FC.
ANALYSIS
Bassett and Portland made their return to MLS play Thursday after nearly two months off for the World Cup. Bassett went into the break in very good form, and that appears to have carried over the extended vacation. He found the back of the net in the 60th minute, his third goal of the season, all of which have come in his last five matches. He also created multiple chances for the fourth time this season. He was subbed off in the 73rd minute for Jose Caicedo.
