2025 Fantasy Outlook
Choupo-Moting enters the new season as one of the highly-ranked recruits joining MLS, making the move after departing German powerhouse Bayern Munich in May 2024. He's had a long career mainly built on his playmaking in the attack, likely to assume a similar role with the Red Bulls. He most recently started in seven of his 32 appearances while with Bayern Munich in the 2023/24 campaign, mostly filling in when Harry Kane was injured. Soon to be 36 years old, it's unlikely he'll be starting every match, as that's never really been his role. At best, expect some kind of rotational role with the hope to be near 10 goal contributions.
Doubtful with knee discomfort
Choupo-Moting is at risk of missing upcoming games while he recovers from a knee issue, per the MLS player status report.
ANALYSIS
Choupo-Moting is one of RBNY's most prominent attackers, an experienced striker who brings European pedigree and a proven goal-scoring record, so a knee concern putting him in doubt is an impactful news for their offensive depth. If he can't play, the club's ability to threaten in the final third drops considerably without its most experienced forward option. However, despite converting a penalty kick in his most recent outing, he has been relegated to a backup role behind Julian Hall, who should continue to lead the front line for now.
