Est. Return 9/14/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Giroud had a challenging first season in MLS, struggling to find his rhythm after arriving late in 2024. The veteran striker still showed glimpses of his quality, but consistency eluded him without a full preseason to adapt. In 2025, with the benefit of complete preparation, Giroud is expected to play a more decisive role for LAFC, contributing both goals and assists. His experience and ability to link up play will be key, especially in support of Denis Bouanga, as he looks to make a significant impact in his second year.

Should be available Sunday
Giroud (hamstring) should be available for Sunday's clash against Toulouse, coach Bruno Genesio said in the press conference.
ANALYSIS
Giroud missed the last game before the break due to a hamstring injury but he has fully trained and recovered from the issue. The veteran striker is back available for Sunday's clash against TeFeCe and could be an option to start for Lille. If he is not deemed fit enough to, Hamza Igamane will be the one replacing him in the frontline.

ANALYSIS
Giroud has decided to leave AC Milan in the summer once his contract expires, and it seems LAFC are leading the race to acquire him. He'd join another former France legend, Hugo Lloris, in the Black & Gold. Giroud would be an instant hit in MLS, and he'd automatically become one of the league's best players.
