Kai Wagner
28-Year-Old
Philadelphia Union
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
After inking a deal through 2026 with a player option for 2027, Wagner had another productive season in Philadelphia. Despite the team's overall struggles, he had his best individual season, with 10 assists and a goal. His 5.17 shot-creating actions per 90 is in the 99th percentile globally for full-backs, which says it all about his role. Wagner will again be one of the best defenders in MLS in 2025, as long as a move back to Europe isn't in the works.
Leads team in crosses in draw
Wagner had eight crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Toronto FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 63rd minute.
ANALYSIS
Wagner took all of Philadelphia's set pieces, which allowed him to raise his numbers even without a clean sheet or assist. Furthermore, his five tackles were one shy of his season-high mark. With consistent playing time and output in both attacking and defensive stats, he's one of the most complete full-backs in the competition heading into the decisive stage of the campaign.
