Daniel Pereira
25-Year-Old
Austin FC
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Austin FC's first overall pick in their first MLS SuperDraft in 2021, Pereira earned himself a new contract extension this offseason. The deal keeps Pereira in Austin through next season with a team option for 2026. He's now played 2,000-plus minutes in each of the last three seasons, contributing four assists with some spot work on set pieces this past campaign. After Alexander Ring's option was declined, Pereira should have a more significant role in the midfield.
Gets assist off the bench
Pereira assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 victory against St. Louis City SC.
ANALYSIS
Pereira was lucky to get an assist in this game as he only had one cross and created just one chance, but his performance might be enough to get him minutes off the bench against Minnesota United if Austin needs a spark. Minnesota has only conceded 16 times in 11 games, so it is possible Pereira could be used if Austin is struggling.
