Stefan Frei
39-Year-Old
Seattle Sounders FC
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Frei had a strong 2024 season, proving once again why he's one of the league's top goalkeepers. In 33 appearances, he conceded less than one goal per game, made 91 saves, his highest number since his 2019 season, and recorded 12 clean sheets. Frei's reliability and shot-stopping ability were crucial for his team's continued defensive success, even if it ended in disappointment in the playoffs. Heading into 2025, he remains a cornerstone in goal and will be key in maintaining a strong backline while continuing to deliver standout performances.
Not done with Sounders
Frei signed a new contract with Sounders FC through June of 2027, the club announced. "We're very pleased to have Stef sign a new contract with the club. He is a Sounders legend who has been at the heart of some of the biggest moments in our history and he continues to set the standard with his leadership and professionalism. Stef understands what it means to wear this badge and he brings a presence that lifts the entire group. We're proud to keep him in Seattle and look forward to what he'll continue to bring to the team," said Sounders FC General Manager & Chief Soccer Officer Craig Waibel.
ANALYSIS
Frei is the club's all-time leader in appearances across all competitions and has helped Seattle win six major trophies while reaching the playoffs 11 times since 2014. He was named MLS Cup MVP in 2016 and has also earned MLS All-Star honors, Goalkeeper of the Year finalist recognition, and Concacaf Champions Cup Player of the Tournament honors during his career. Frei ranks among the top goalkeepers in MLS history in appearances, wins, shutouts, and saves, and is one of the few players to surpass 400 all-competition appearances with a single club. He started every regular-season match in 2025, posting eight shutouts and a 1.19 goals-against average while continuing to anchor Seattle's back line. His contract extension will be key for the Sounders to retain his leadership and instill the mindset they want to pass on to the youngsters integrating into the team.
