2025 Fantasy Outlook
Roldan had another solid season in 2024, continuing to prove his value as a key contributor for Seattle. In 37 appearances and 3,235 minutes (second highest of his career), he scored two goals and provided one assist. He completed 1,657 passes, created 37 chances and took 38 shots while also delivering a career-high 84 crosses. His defensive work was crucial, recording 77 tackles and helping his team secure 10 clean sheets. Roldan's consistency, versatility and work rate made him an indispensable presence in the midfield. Heading into 2025, he will continue to be a crucial player for Seattle, providing both defensive stability and offensive contributions across the pitch.
Still not fit
Roldan is out for the time being due to a quad injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.
ANALYSIS
Roldan had cleared Seattle's injury report before the World Cup break and has now returned post-break with a quad injury, something he suffered in training while serving with the USMNT, leaving him out of their last few games. He's been a midfield stalwart for the Sounders and a useful fantasy contributor when featuring regularly, and this new absence comes at a particularly difficult time, given how many other Seattle players are also unavailable. His absence will then create a major mixup in the middle of the pitch as they try to find another player as confident on the ball as him, with Snyder Brunell the likely option for now.
