25-Year-Old

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hlongwane earned a constant role throughout 2024, starting in nine different positions on his way to 23 starts in 32 appearances. He led the team in goals, notching 11 on 52 shots, averaging a goal around every three appearances. The attacker also added four assists on 29 chances created and 22 crosses. He's at his best in more of an attacking role, but he moved to a wing-back position late in 2024, which hampered his upside. Assuming he moves back to a more forward role in 2025, he should be set for at least 10 goals again.
On bench Wednesday
Hlongwane (personal) is among the substitutes in Wednesday's game versus Colorado Rapids.
ANALYSIS
Hlongwane will aim to bounce back, even though his playing time will be limited in the midweek clash. The versatile player was sidelined for two games due to family reasons after losing his starting spot over the previous few matches. He'll offer an alternative to Kyle Duncan on the right flank and to Owen Gene in midfield in upcoming fixtures.
