Amahl Pellegrino
35-Year-Old
San Diego FC
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Pellegrino completed his first season in San Jose as the club's top scorer. On the face of it that's a good sign, but when he led the way with just seven goals it's far less encouraging. San Jose made the choice to blow it up and go for a totally new look in 2025 under Bruce Arena's leadership, which could be a good sign for Pellegrino, who clearly had the talent to punish MLS defenses. With a better starting striker, Pellegrino could push for double-digit goals in 2025, though that would certainly be a surprise given his 2024 inconsistencies in production.
Scores one goal
Pellegrino scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus FC Cincinnati.
ANALYSIS
Pellegrino delivered a strong performance in Saturday's 3-3 draw with Cincinnati, finding himself one-on-one with Roman Celentano in the second half after receiving Pedro Soma's through pass before rifling a right-footed shot past the diving goalkeeper to level the match at 2-2 and ignite San Diego's push for a winner. The 35-year-old Norwegian forward, one of the most experienced attackers in MLS, operates as a technically refined pressing forward who creates space for teammates as effectively as he finishes chances himself, and he has remained a consistent contributor both as a starter and impact substitute in Mikey Varas's rotation. Pellegrino has now scored two goals and added one assist across 10 MLS appearances this season.
