It is time for another FC Dallas player recap from the 2025 season, with a look at Logan Farrington.
Stat breakdown
After what would have been a MLS Rookie of the Year-type season (if the league was still handing those trophies out), Farrington had a pretty solid sophomore season.
| Name | Games Played | Games Started | Minutes | Goals | Assists | SOT |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Logan Farrington | 32 | 18 | 1575 | 5 | 4 | 12 |
Farrington scored one more goal than he did in his rookie season, but his assists were cut in half (more on that in a moment).
Let’s dive into some fancy graphs and charts on Farrington’s season.
The one big thing that stands out to me here is Farrington’s work rate, especially on the defensive side of things. His pressure up the field helps the team and keeps the pressure off the defensive group.
The other item that stands out is how much better he’s at as a forward than he is as a winger in this league.

Highlight
Farrington does such a good job of stretching a defense and with his hold up play, it allows goals like this one:
What to expect in 2026?
A lot is going to ride on what kind of system manager Eric Quill runs in 2026. If he is back to a 4-2-3-1 (or 4-3-3), Farrington will likely be forced out on the wing where he is less productive.
But, if Quill keeps that 5-2-3 formation that worked in the last two months of the season, I would expect more out of Farrington next season.
Final thoughts
I will be honest, I thought we’d see a sophomore slump from Farrington this year. But to his credit, I think he grew even more as a professional with this team. Part of that was his partnership with Petar Musa and the other part was finding a role in the attack under Quill.
Now, some of his weaknesses along the wings this year could have easily been down to having to cover for Lucho Acosta when he was here in town. Without Acosta, Farrington was able to sit a tad higher up the field and do more.
I don’t think Farrington is going to be a 10 goal-a-season kind of player in this league, but if he can continue to put up 4-7 goals with 5-8 assists in a season, that is still good productivity that any MLS team would kill to have out of a young player.
The other thing that I keep thinking about with Farrington is his trade value. He’s still on the Supplemental roster side of things (something I think could easily change next season), which means there is a ton of upside for him should a team come in with a fairly big cash trade offer this winter. I’m not saying it should happen or even will happen, but it is something to keep an eye on.
