2025 Fantasy Outlook
Espinoza was the only bright spot for San Jose in 2024. He scored four goals and added 14 assists in what was one of the worst offenses in the league. It speaks to Espinoza's talent that he was productive even in such a dreadful year. With wholesale changes throughout the starting XI, the future is uncertain for Espinoza, though it's unlikely anyone takes his set-piece role. If he gets a truly elite striker to finish his chances he could push for MVP candidacy, if not, he could be left making the most of a bad situation for yet another year.

Creates eight chances in win
Espinoza created eight chances and sent in 22 crosses (six accurate) during Saturday's 2-1 win over Austin.
ANALYSIS
Espinoza had another monster stat line to his account, creating a lot for teammates from both open play and set pieces and racking up more than 20 crosses for the second time over the last four starts. This performance capped another great season for the playmaker, who led all MLS players in both chances created and total crosses while ranking second in accurate crosses.
