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.

Transfers, loaned back to Charlotte
Malanda has completed a transfer to Middlesbrough from Charlotte but will remain with Charlotte until the end of the 2025 campaign, according to his former club.
ANALYSIS
Malanda is going to complete a transfer to England this season, with the defender sent to Middlesbrough. However, the defender will return to Charlotte until the end of the campaign, hoping to help them to an MLS championship. That said, he will depart the team in December 2025.
