Thiago Martins
30-Year-Old
New York City FC
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Martins was an MLS All Star for the first time in his career in his third season with NYC FC. He hit multiple career highs, starting all 35 games while reaching 147 clearances and playing all 90 minutes in each match. The defender will have bigger responsibilities as the captain of the team with a new coach on the horizon and a developing back line. Martins will be tested in a big way in a new system, making his and NYC FC's defensive upside uncertain at best for 2025.
Returns to starting XI Saturday
Martins (knee) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus Cincinnati.
ANALYSIS
Martins bounced back sooner than expected following knee surgery and could see plenty of minutes in this match. He has been a regular member of the back line this season, averaging 6.7 clearances, 1.3 tackles and 0.6 interceptions per game when in the starting lineup. Strahinja Tanasijevic will head back to the bench with Martins available.
