2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gomez delivered another stellar season in 2024, further cementing his status as one of the league's elite defenders. In 33 appearances and 2,711 minutes, he added one goal and 21 shots while excelling defensively with 52 tackles, 63 interceptions and 151 clearances. He played a crucial role in securing 10 clean sheets, offering both reliability and leadership at the heart of Seattle's defense alongside Jackson Ragen. His blend of physicality, tactical awareness and occasional offensive contributions has been a constant asset for the team since his arrival in 2020. Heading into 2025, Gomez will remain an integral part of Seattle's backline, continuing to deliver the consistent performances that define his game.
Suffers hamstring injury
Yeimar (hamstring) is dealing with a right hamstring strain suffered in Sunday's match against St. Louis and will be out for the time being, according to coach Brian Schmetzer per Ravegreenarmy.
ANALYSIS
Yeimar is dealing with a right hamstring strain suffered in Sunday's match against St. Louis and will be out for the time being while he undergoes an MRI to determine the severity of the injury. The Colombian is an undisputed starter in central defense, so his absence is a major blow for his team, which is already dealing with several injuries. Kalani Kossa-Rienzi is likely to replace him in the back line in the upcoming matches.
