2025 Fantasy Outlook
De La Vega's first MLS season in 2024 didn't quite live up to the high expectations many had for him. In 20 appearances, he scored one goal and provided one assist, while recording 18 shots, 37 crosses and 14 corners. Unfortunately, De La Vega was slowed by a groin injury early and struggled with inconsistent performances throughout the season. Despite the challenges, his potential remains undeniable, and heading into 2025, there is hope that he can fully recover and deliver the performances everyone was expecting. With his skill set and ability to impact the game, De La Vega has the chance to be a key player for Seattle in the upcoming season.
Won't feature before June
De la Vega (knee) will not be an option until right before the World Cup at the earliest, coach Brian Schmetzer told the media, according to Jackson Felts from the Hollywood Weekly podcast. "I am not expecting to see him until right around either just before the World Cup or just after the World Cup break."
ANALYSIS
De la Vega is still facing a lengthy road back from a fractured patella, with his return projected, in the best-case scenario, just before the 2026 World Cup in June. It is a tough break for the Sounders, as the forward has been a locked-in starter up top and a consistent presence in the front line when healthy. His extended absence should create real opportunity for Paul Rothrock and for Paul Arriola, who is also working his way back after a long-term knee injury.
