Joseph Paintsil
27-Year-Old
Los Angeles Galaxy
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Paintsil delivered a strong inaugural MLS season with the LA Galaxy. The Ghanaian international joined the club in February from KFC Genk, producing 14 goals and eight assists from 34 appearances (playoffs included). He should remain a regular starter in 2025, leading attacks down the left flank and continuing LA's successful scoring cohort with Dejan Joveljic and Gabriel Pec. His role will be particularly important in 2025, as Riqui Puig will be out for most of the season with a torn ACL.
July start with brace
Paintsil scored two goals to go with five shots (four on goal) and one corner in Friday's 3-0 win versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
ANALYSIS
Paintsil's summer form includes three goals, which indicate that he tripled the tally Friday. After the attacking midfielder's unimpressive spring, perhaps his latest appearance foreshadows a bounce-back season. Five appearances and three goals combine for an excellent beginning.
