Daniel Gazdag
29-Year-Old
Columbus Crew
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
A year removed from scoring 11 of his 14 goals from the penalty spot, Gazdag scored 13 of his 17 goals from open play in 2024. In a disappointing season for the Union, Gazdag was a bright spot. With a focus on youth development expected for the Union, 15-year-old Cavan Sullivan will be under the tutelage of Gazdag once again in 2025. While Gazdag's goals from open play will likely decrease (10.7 non-penalty xG), Gazdag should be in the 18-to-20 goal contribution range, similar to his last three seasons of 28, 20 and 19.
Scores first goal with Columbus
Gazdag scored a penalty goal, had six shots (one on target), created one chance and drew four fouls during Saturday's 2-1 win over D.C. United.
ANALYSIS
Gazdag finally scored for the first time since being traded to Columbus after 16 games. Just after the half-hour mark, the attacker converted a penalty suffered by himself to break the deadlock. He kept pushing for another goal, pacing his team in shots attempted, but accuracy wasn't there during the second frame. After putting to an end such a long scoreless streak and scoring for the third time this season, Gazdag will hope to keep adding to his numbers and at least reach double digits in scoring as he did in each of the previous three campaigns.
