2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gauld put together perhaps the single-best season of his career in 2024, scoring 15 times and adding 12 assists while leading Vancouver to the playoffs yet again. The striker is at the heart of everything going forward for the Whitecaps, with his ability to play anywhere across the front three invaluable. He's showing no signs of slowing down and with Stuart Armstrong integrating into the team, the entire Vancouver attack could be in for a bump in 2025. If Gauld can take that next step, he has the potential to be one of the best attackers in MLS, and perhaps even an MVP candidate.

Gauld (knee) is training fully with the team and nearing a return but the game against Portland comes too soon for him, coach Jesper Sorensen said in a press conference, according to Har Johal from Daily Hive. "Ryan is now in a period where we train him. He does everything in training, but he also has to be sustainable and then we also have to build on top of that. He has to face physical things because he's been out for so long, but it won't be long until we can see him in the roster as well and it'll be great."
ANALYSIS
Gauld is training fully with the Whitecaps but his return will be monitored depending on his sensations since no risk will be taken with the Designated Player after his long term knee injury. That said, Gauld is expected to return before the end of the season which is positive news as he will be able to help the team in the final stretch.

Gauld (knee) is still ramping up his workload in training, according to manager Jasper Sorensen."He needs to clear some stages where he trains together with the team and where he makes himself available and it's not just being in training for two or three times.

Should return this season

Gauld (knee) is still in his rehabilitation process and should return this season, coach Jesper Sorensen said in a press conference, according to Har Journalist. "You can go out in the gym and see him training. But I don't think that's what you're asking. I wish I could say when the pain is off and he has the right feeling. We will also be cautious with Ryan because what we don't want is a setback for him. We want to build him up. The amount of time he's been out, he will need a preseason to get back into shape. The most important thing is that we get a strong Ryan back. It's not how fast we get him back, it's when he's back that he's strong, and has the quality that we all know he has. No, he's not ruled out for the season and I will not expect him to be out for the season. We hope that he'll be back sooner than later, but we've said that many times. I can't say anything really decisive about it."
