Liel Abada
24-Year-Old
Charlotte FC
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Abada maintained a starting role throughout much of the 2024 season, with the biggest hindrance to his playing time being the eight games missed through injury. He started 20 of his 24 appearances, providing a decent outburst of playmaking but truly succeeding through his goalscoring. He earned seven goals on 53 shots and one assist on 28 chances created, averaging a goal contribution every three appearances and a goal every 7.5 shots. With a full offseason in Charlotte, the forward should be headed for 10-plus goal contributions in 2025.
Earns start in playoffs
Abada had one shot (zero on goal) in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to New York City FC.
ANALYSIS
Abada got the start for the first time since Aug 10, recording just a shot vs NYCFC. This was mainly due to the suspension to Wilfred Zaha, who is expected to return to the starting XI for Charlotte Saturday.
