2025 Fantasy Outlook
Shaffelburg is coming off another decent season for Nashville, one where he scored two goals and recorded three assists across 23 appearances (16 starts). He set a career high with 97 crosses (16 accurate) despite appearing in seven fewer matches than he did in 2023. With the likes of Dru Yearwood, Brian Anunga and Anibal Godoy all leaving the club during the offseason, Shaffelburg has a great opportunity to be a regular starter in 2025. If Shaffelburg is able to earn that spot, then he would be set up to have his best season yet.
Two shots in first start
Shaffelburg generated two shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 0-0 draw versus Colorado Rapids.
ANALYSIS
Shaffelburg cracked the starting XI for the first time with LAFC in MLS during Wednesday's 0-0 draw against Colorado, logging two shots (one on target), one chance created, and four crosses while staying active in the attack. He pushed to make something happen but couldn't carve out a true high-danger look, as Colorado's defensive shape stayed compact and gave LAFC's wide players very little room to work. He's now sitting on one assist through four MLS appearances this season and profiles as more of a rotation option moving forward.
