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.
Main creator for Philadelphia
Wagner crossed 12 times (five accurate), created five chances and blocked a shot during Saturday's 2-0 win over New York Red Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Wagner was held off the scoresheet despite leading the Union in crosses, chances created and blocks during the win. The fullback hasn't had a goal involvement since May 28th, but has combined for 10 chances created and 34 crosses over his last three appearances.
