2025 Fantasy Outlook
Eneli stepped up to compensate for Pablo Ruiz's absence in the midfield in 2024, taking on a different role but still delivering a strong season. The versatile midfielder played 35 games (playoffs included), providing stability and energy in the center of the park. While his style differs from Ruiz's creativity, Eneli's consistency and work rate were key for the team throughout the year. Heading into 2025, he will remain an important figure in the midfield, continuing to offer reliability and defensive cover while contributing to the team's overall play.

Won't make opener
M/DReal Salt Lake
OUT
February 20, 2026
Eneli (knee) is out for Saturday's match against Vancouver, according to the MLS injury report.
ANALYSIS
Eneli is not with his team as they start the season due to a knee injury, a major blow for the club. This comes after he started in 19 of his 29 appearances last season, recording one assist in his time on the field. Noel Caliskan, Luca Moisa and Diego Luna are instead likely to lead the midfield week one.
