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.
Struggles in 2025
Gazdag recorded 23 starts in 29 MLS appearances with Columbus (including the playoffs) during the 2025 season.
ANALYSIS
Gazdag was traded from the Union to Columbus at the start of the season but struggled to find his form. He managed only four goals and three assists across his appearances with the Crew, eventually losing his starting spot near the final matches of the season. This was a sharp decline from his 2024 performance, when he scored 17 goals for Philadelphia. While this may have been a transitional setback, Gazdag will need to adapt quickly and prove his value if he hopes to reclaim a starting role in 2026.
