Christian Benteke
34-Year-Old
D.C. United
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Benteke is coming off a phenomenal season, one where he led MLS in goals with 23 across 30 appearances. He also provided five assists, four of which came in the final 11 matches. He had a consistent season as he didn't go for more than three consecutive matches without scoring a goal. It was a vast improvement on his first full MLS season in 2023 when he scored 14 goals across 31 starts. Despite taking more shots during the 2023 campaign, 107 compared to 94 in 2024, Benteke was far more efficient with his chances in 2024 and appears to have settled into the league very well. With much of D.C. United's attack returning, Benteke will be a contender to lead MLS in goals again in 2025.
Two goal contributions
Benteke scored one goal and assisted once from five shots and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 loss versus Inter Miami CF.
ANALYSIS
Benteke opened the scoring Saturday for D.C. United by heading home their first goal before assisting the match's final goal late into second-half stoppage time. His three shots on goal marked a team-high in the fixture. Benteke is just one goal away from reaching the double-digit mark for the third successive MLS season.
