2025 Fantasy Outlook
Glesnes has been a fixture in the backline since joining the Union from Stromsgodset in 2020, logging 2,700-plus minutes in each of the past four seasons. While Glesnes had several blunders, including two own goals across all competitions, he still flashed moments of brilliance with two goals and two assists in 2024. Philadelphia will be in the market for a center-back after Damion Lowe's departure, but Glesnes should be a nailed starter again for the Union.
