Tai Baribo
27-Year-Old
Philadelphia Union
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
With the departure of Julian Carranza, there was uncertainty about who would step up and score goals for the Union. While Carranza was missed, Baribo stepped up in a huge way, having a breakout season with nine goals in 20 appearances. After playing just 153 minutes for the Union in 2023, Baribo played 1,409 minutes and generated an xG of 10.2 goals in 2024. With Baribo likely slotting in as a starter from match one, he should eclipse double-digit goals in 2025.
Takes four shots, can't score
Baribo generated four shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 victory over FC Cincinnati.
ANALYSIS
Baribo has been one of the top forwards in MLS this season with 16 goals across 25 appearances, but he was unable to find the back of the net in this one. He continues to be a solid fantasy option for most lineups, though, as he's often active in the final third even when he doesn't find the back of the net. Baribo has two goals and one assist while averaging 2.6 shots per game over his last five contests.
