2025 Fantasy Outlook
With the departure of Julian Carranza, there was uncertainty about who would step up and score goals for the Union. While Carranza was missed, Baribo stepped up in a huge way, having a breakout season with nine goals in 20 appearances. After playing just 153 minutes for the Union in 2023, Baribo played 1,409 minutes and generated an xG of 10.2 goals in 2024. With Baribo likely slotting in as a starter from match one, he should eclipse double-digit goals in 2025.
Out as percaution
Baribo (thigh) was not an option for the 2-0 win over NYCFC on Sunday as a precaution, said head coach Rene Weiler per Mauricio Gomes of 107.9 FM.
ANALYSIS
Baribo missed his second match in a row due to a thigh injury. It does not seem that the injury is too serious, which means he can feature in Saturday's trip to Nashville, pending on his evolution during training.
