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.
Sets up goal on Saturday
Abada assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 win against Austin FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 64th minute.
ANALYSIS
Abada started the game on the right flank and assisted Pep Biel in the 68th minute for Charlotte's second goal. Abada has featured twice and this was his first goal contribution of the campaign.
