31-Year-Old

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.
Four shots Sunday
Moreira registered four shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Orlando City SC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 55th minute.
ANALYSIS
Moreira recorded a season-high four shots Sunday, a shocking display considering he had just two in his previous five appearances this season. He put one on target and also added one chance created and one accurate cross. He was subbed off in the 83rd minute for Daniel Gazdag.
