Olivier Giroud
39-Year-Old
Lille
Ligue 1
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Giroud had a challenging first season in MLS, struggling to find his rhythm after arriving late in 2024. The veteran striker still showed glimpses of his quality, but consistency eluded him without a full preseason to adapt. In 2025, with the benefit of complete preparation, Giroud is expected to play a more decisive role for LAFC, contributing both goals and assists. His experience and ability to link up play will be key, especially in support of Denis Bouanga, as he looks to make a significant impact in his second year.
Attempts two shots in defeat
Giroud recorded two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Rennes.
ANALYSIS
Giroud was held off the score sheet for the fourth time in a row in league play as his team generated few chances while playing with 10 men during most of the match against Rennes. He has been quite unproductive lately, scoring two goals in his last 12 games played across league and European competitions despite featuring as his club's main striker throughout that span. Since joining the team in July, he has racked up five goals and one assist in 21 appearances.
