Adilson Malanda
24-Year-Old
Charlotte FC
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Malanda improved from an already solid 2023 season, contributing to a dominating defensive campaign for Charlotte. He started all but two league matches, going the full 90 in each of those starts. He averaged 4.9 clearances per contest and continually racked up clearances no matter the opposition. With standout goalkeeper Kristijan Kahlina in net, the Charlotte back line should remain one of the better units in the league, at least in home matches.
Makes 10 clearances in win
Malanda had two tackles (two won), 10 clearances and one interception in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Philadelphia Union.
ANALYSIS
Malanda was one of the best center-backs in MLS during the 2025 season, and he finished the campaign in style with double-digit clearances against the best team in the Eastern Conference. Malanda averaged 6.45 clearances per game in 33 starts during the regular season.
