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.
Another goal for 2025
Baribo scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and four chances created in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Colorado Rapids. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 85th minute.
ANALYSIS
For 2025, Baribo's latest goal is his 15th. As of the weekend, he is tied for third in this year's MLS goals, alongside Evander. Among the top-four, Baribo is one of two to have 15 goals across fewer than 21 appearances, the other Lionel Messi. The former's July caps off with five games that include two goals on eight shots (three on target).
