Thiago Martins
30-Year-Old
New York City FC
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Martins was an MLS All Star for the first time in his career in his third season with NYC FC. He hit multiple career highs, starting all 35 games while reaching 147 clearances and playing all 90 minutes in each match. The defender will have bigger responsibilities as the captain of the team with a new coach on the horizon and a developing back line. Martins will be tested in a big way in a new system, making his and NYC FC's defensive upside uncertain at best for 2025.
Returning for another season
Martins will return to New York City F.C after his contract was exercised for the 2026 season.
ANALYSIS
Martins has been the heart and soul of the back line for NYCFC, finishing another solid season in MLS. In 36 MLS appearances (including the playoffs), the defender recorded a career-high 236 clearances while also winning 26 tackles and making 31 blocks, contributing to 12 clean sheets. Martins will be a no-doubt starter in 2026, having just concluded his best season for New York.
