2025 Fantasy Outlook
FC Cincinnati sold striker Brandon Vazquez to Monterrey before last season and then brought in Nicolas Gioacchini, Corey Baird and Kevin Kelsy to fill the void. No player stepped up and there was a revolving door at the two striker positions in Pat Noonan's 3-4-1-2 formation. However, Cincinnati showed they weren't messing around, breaking an MLS record for the largest signing in history ($16.2 million) by bringing in Denkey. He will join the team from Cercle Brugge in Belgium after a breakout season in 2023/24, scoring 23 goals in 28 starts. While some players struggle in their first season in MLS, Denkey is in an excellent spot in Cincinnati with a talented group of players around him. He has a ceiling of 20-plus goals in 2025 if Lucho Acosta sticks around.
Scores goal in big win
Denkey scored one goal to go with six shots (three on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 6-2 win against Orlando City.
ANALYSIS
Denkey was a constant threat in this match as he paced his squad with six shots, the most he has recorded in an MLS game this season. One of those efforts was a 77th-minute left-footed finish between two defenders to increase Cincinnati's lead. With nine goals in 14 league appearances, he remains level with Evander atop the scoring chart of a team that is averaging 2.4 goals per game. Additionally, Denkey's high playing time makes him a reliable attacking option in most fixtures.
