Adilson Malanda
23-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.
Tallies 11 clearances in win
Malanda registered 11 clearances and one interception in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Toronto FC.
ANALYSIS
Malanda reached double digits in clearances for the third time this season as his side worked towards its fifth clean sheet in 17 matches played. Additionally, the lone interception raised his count to nine over that period. He's now one of two members of the squad to have recorded every minute in the 2025 campaign, throughout which he has featured as a right-sided center-back.
