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.
Converts PK in loss
FD.C. United
July 28, 2025
Benteke scored a penalty goal, had five shots (three on target), created one chance and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 4-2 loss against Austin.
ANALYSIS
Benteke had his best performance since his return from the thigh injury that left him out for more than a month. The striker could only score from the penalty spot deep into second half's stoppage time but was a big threat during the entire contest, pacing his team in shots attempted. With goals in his last two games, Benteke will hope to get back to the form displayed at the start of the season, which would definitely help his team finishing the year in a not so embarrassing position.
