Cody Gakpo
26-Year-Old
Liverpool
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gakpo has steadily improved during his time with Liverpool with 2024/25 being his best en route to 10 goals and four assists. He finished the season as the top choice on the left wing which is where he started, but whether through injury or rotation, he wasn't a lock in every starting XI. Gakpo's biggest step forward in his third season were his chances created (38), likely due to the role on the wing. Gakpo should hold onto the left wing once again, but depending on how the squad shakes out, the biggest question will be minutes. If he can surpass 2,000 minutes and 25 starts, he could near 20 goal contributions and become one of the better fantasy options in the league.
Nets for draw
Gakpo scored one goal to go with five shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Fulham. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 95th minute.
ANALYSIS
Gakpo got the start up top due to injuries to Liverpool's other strikers. He had a quiet match for the most part before netting a late goal that seemed set as the winner before a heart-breaking equalizer. Gakpo hasn't been at his best throughout the season and will have to compete for the starting job on the left wing even though he's healthy once more. If Liverpool can get their attack going in the back half of the season, Gakpo would have plenty of upside.
