Franco Escobar
30-Year-Old
Houston Dynamo
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Escobar was in and out of the starting XI in 2024 due to injury and multiple suspensions. However, he was a regular when available at left-back, as the team conceded 39 goals, one of the lowest numbers in the league. From 26 appearances, he participated in seven clean sheets and engaged in 3.2 tackles per game (best in the league). While he had three goal involvements, he's not a massive crosser for the Dynamo and only had nine shots last season. With yellow cards an almost-weekly occurrence, there's still plenty of downside for Escobar in fantasy if he's not consistently getting up the pitch.
Set for suspension
Escobar is set to be suspended after accumulating five yellow cards in the MLS.
ANALYSIS
Escobar will miss the match against LA Galaxy on Friday due to a suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card in league play. He has been a regular starter in defense and is expected to be replaced by either Felipe Andrade or Obafemi Awodesu for that game. That said, Escobar appeared to suffer an injury in the second half against Philly, so the suspension may not have much impact as he will aim to return as soon as possible if the extent of the injury is not too serious.
