Matt Freese
27-Year-Old
New York City FC
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Freese was a key factor in NYCFC's success in 2024, helping the team reach the semi-final of the Leagues Cup and the MLS Eastern Conference. Despite allowing more goals in 2024, Freese was able to solidify a strong presence in the box with an average of 3.5 saves per game, putting him among the league leaders in that category. With Thiago Martins remaining in 2025 and a new coach, Freese could see more clean sheets, especially if a defensively-minded one is hired.
Back after concussion scare
Freese recorded four saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Philadelphia Union.
ANALYSIS
Freese looked to have passed all concussion protocol and was able to start vs Philadelphia on Saturday. Outside of the one goal allowed, he was able to make four saves to up his average a game to 3.1. The keeper will face Seattle for the final regular season game on Oct 18 who have scored seven goals in the last five contests.
