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.
Defensive pilar to start season
Gomez generated four tackles (two won), 10 clearances and four interceptions in Sunday's 2-0 win over Colorado Rapids.
ANALYSIS
Gomez anchored the box as Seattle absorbed wave after wave of pressure from Colorado, especially late when the Rapids turned up the heat searching for an equalizer. He stepped up in the biggest moments, winning key duels, dominating set pieces with a massive 10 clearances, and staying locked in through extended defensive stretches while adding four tackles (two won) and four interceptions to cap off a brilliant performance against the Rapids. Gomez is once again expected to be the unquestioned leader of the Sounders' back line this season.
