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.
Hamstring not fully healed
Gomez underwent an MRI on his hamstring Monday and is not yet fully healed, with coach Brian Schmetzer indicating he will probably sit out until after the World Cup, according to KJR Radio.
ANALYSIS
Gomez has been sidelined since March and the MRI results confirm his recovery is taking longer than anticipated, likely ruling him out until after the World Cup. The center-back had been an important piece of Seattle's back line before the injury struck, making three starts prior to going down, and the club will now focus entirely on his long-term wellbeing rather than rushing him back for the final fixtures ahead of the break.
