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.
Precise through ball for assist
Benteke assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win against New York City FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 46th minute.
ANALYSIS
Benteke's key pass in-behind Saturday assisted the decisive second-half goal as D.C. United earned a 2-1 victory over New York City F.C.. The assist was the striker's second of the season and first since March. Across his last five appearances (five starts), Benteke has created three chances from 13 shots (six on goal) while scoring twice and assisting once.
