2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sands made the switch to New England from Columbus in 2024 and immediately took over as the starting left-back. An injury sidelined him for more than a month, but he got fit and closed the season in the starting XI. Despite the brief showing with New England (just 434 minutes), he assisted twice and seemed set for a consistent role. Heading into 2025, Sands has little competition for the starting job at left-back, meaning he should be the top choice on the depth chart heading into the season for maybe first time in his young career.
Unfortunate own goal
Sands registered an own goal, one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Philadelphia Union.
ANALYSIS
Sands experienced a mixed night in Saturday's 2-1 win over Philadelphia Union, deflecting Milan Iloski's touch past Matt Turner in the first half for an own goal that handed the visitors the lead in an unfortunate moment, before responding after the break with composed defensive work and an accurate cross that helped initiate the buildup leading to Luca Langoni's equalizer. The American left-back made four tackles, one interception and one clearance. Sands has registered one goal across 11 MLS appearances this season, and his ability to recover from the own goal and contribute positively to the comeback underlined his importance to both the defensive and attacking structure of his team.
