Chris Brady

Brady is coming off a fairly disappointing season with Chicago, one where he kept just four clean sheets in 33 starts. It was a significant regression after he kept eight clean sheets in 30 starts during the 2023 campaign. He also conceded multiple goals in over half of his starts. Overall, the Fire's defense struggled as the unit conceded 62 goals across 34 matches, one of nine teams to concede over 60. With Rafael Czichos gone from the back line, the Fire defense may be even worse in the 2025 season. Although he has proven in the past to be a reliable goalkeeper, the Fire's defensive struggles are likely to cause another disappointing season for Brady.
