2025 Fantasy Outlook
There were concerns in 2024 that Long might lose playing time with the arrival of Maxime Chanot, but the LAFC captain ended up playing the most games in the back, maintaining a strong presence in defense. Long enjoyed a standout season, recording 130 clearances, the first time since 2019 he reached such a mark, along with 41 interceptions and 34 tackles. His consistent performances proved vital in LAFC's defensive setup, and in 2025, Long will continue to be an integral part of the team's back three, bringing leadership and defensive solidity.
Makes nine clearances in win
Long made nine clearances during Saturday's 2-0 win over Houston.
ANALYSIS
Long had another dominant display at the heart of the defense, imposing his will against opposing forwards and pacing all players in clearances. This was the third game with nine or more clearances for the center-back, who would become an elite fantasy asset if he starts putting up such numbers more regularly.
