Jakob Glesnes
31-Year-Old
Los Angeles Galaxy
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Glesnes has been a fixture in the backline since joining the Union from Stromsgodset in 2020, logging 2,700-plus minutes in each of the past four seasons. While Glesnes had several blunders, including two own goals across all competitions, he still flashed moments of brilliance with two goals and two assists in 2024. Philadelphia will be in the market for a center-back after Damion Lowe's departure, but Glesnes should be a nailed starter again for the Union.
Solid defensively in Galaxy league debut
Glesnes had one tackle (one won), 11 clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 1-1 draw against New York City FC.
ANALYSIS
Glesnes put in a solid defensive performance in his first game for LA Galaxy and was a key figure in helping the team secure a point, particularly after his side went down to ten men just past the hour mark. He contributed across every defensive category, leading the team with 11 clearances while also adding two interceptions, one tackle and one block.
