Cucho Hernandez
27-Year-Old
Betis
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hernandez arrived at Betis in January after starring for Columbus Crew in MLS. He wasn't as prolific in Spain but still produced five goals and one assist in 15 league appearances (14 starts). With a full preseason to acclimate, he's expected to lead the line in 2025/26. His per-90 stats of 3.37 shots, 0.86 on target and 1.10 chances created could rise as he gets more comfortable in La Liga. Even then, simply having more time on the pitch in addition to a full offseason with the club should lead to 10-plus goals in this attack.
Available Friday
Hernandez (knee) is available for Friday's clash against Real Madrid, according to coach Manuel Pellegrini, per Gonzalo Tortosa from Elchiringuitotv.
ANALYSIS
Hernandez's clearance is a significant boost for Betis heading into a high-profile fixture at La Cartuja. The Colombian had been substituted at halftime of the previous match due to knee discomfort, raising concerns about his availability for Friday. As the undisputed starter at number nine, his presence gives coach Manuel Pellegrini his preferred attacking option, with Cedric Bakambu likely returning to a depth role after impressing with an assist in his place.
