Antonio Carlos has been a vital piece to Orlando's ascendence in the Eastern Conference under head coach Oscar Pareja. The Brazilian center half is one of the best all-around defenders in the league, and he brings tons of passion, leadership and experience.
The only thing keeping AC back from even higher heights has been healthy. Last season, he missed a massive chunk of the early season. If he can stay healthy, Antonio Carlos is a Best XI-caliber center back. His fitness should be the only real variable this season.
