Daniel Gazdag
30-Year-Old

2025 Fantasy Outlook
A year removed from scoring 11 of his 14 goals from the penalty spot, Gazdag scored 13 of his 17 goals from open play in 2024. In a disappointing season for the Union, Gazdag was a bright spot. With a focus on youth development expected for the Union, 15-year-old Cavan Sullivan will be under the tutelage of Gazdag once again in 2025. While Gazdag's goals from open play will likely decrease (10.7 non-penalty xG), Gazdag should be in the 18-to-20 goal contribution range, similar to his last three seasons of 28, 20 and 19.
Scores opener Wednesday
Gazdag scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one corner in Wednesday's 2-1 victory versus Los Angeles Galaxy.
ANALYSIS
Gazdag opened up the scoring Wednesday with a strike in the 40th minute assisted by Hugo Picard. It marked his first goal of the season as he's seemingly still struggling to find his sea legs in Columbus. He finished the match with two shots and one chance created before he was subbed off in the 73rd minute for Sekou Bangoura. The Crew will need Gazdag to find his form on the attack as star striker Wessam Abou Ali (knee) will miss the remainder of the season.
