Cody Gakpo
26-Year-Old
Liverpool
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gakpo has steadily improved during his time with Liverpool with 2024/25 being his best en route to 10 goals and four assists. He finished the season as the top choice on the left wing which is where he started, but whether through injury or rotation, he wasn't a lock in every starting XI. Gakpo's biggest step forward in his third season were his chances created (38), likely due to the role on the wing. Gakpo should hold onto the left wing once again, but depending on how the squad shakes out, the biggest question will be minutes. If he can surpass 2,000 minutes and 25 starts, he could near 20 goal contributions and become one of the better fantasy options in the league.
Scores late goal off bench
Gakpo scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Marseille.
ANALYSIS
Gakpo came on and finished the match in stoppage time, converting after Liverpool carried the ball into the box and Ryan Gravenberch supplied the final pass. His goal turned a comfortable night into a statement scoreline at the Velodrome. Beyond the finish, he helped Liverpool manage the final minutes through secure possession and smart positioning, while also creating one chance during his 11 minutes' shift. Gakpo's goal was his first after three games across all competitions without finding the back of the net. The forward will hope to score again against the Brentford on Saturday.
