Steven Moreira
31-Year-Old
Columbus Crew
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Moreira had an excellent 2024 campaign and was awarded the MLS Defender of the Year for his contributions. He was excellent on both ends of the pitch, as he recorded five goal contributions (two goals and three assists) and kept four clean sheets across 25 starts. Much of his value doesn't show up on the stat sheet, though. He was stout defensively and started many Columbus counter attacks, but didn't often finish those moves. In 2025, he should remain a crucial part of the Crew's defense and attack, making him a solid and consistent fantasy asset.
Plays full game
Moreira registered one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Monday's 0-0 draw versus Spain.
ANALYSIS
Moreira played the full 90 minutes in Cape Verde's scoreless draw against Spain, contributing four clearances and an interception . Unlike the center-backs, who spent much of the match defending crosses and second balls, he was tasked with containing Spain's wide attackers. He brought valuable experience to Cape Verde's back line after featuring regularly in the MLS and averaging over three recoveries per game last campaign.
