Bongokuhle Hlongwane
25-Year-Old
Minnesota United
MLS
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.

Scores brace in victory
Hlongwane scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) in Wednesday's 3-1 win against Houston Dynamo.
ANALYSIS
Hlongwane was spectacular Wednesday as he notched the first two goals of the match, achieving an impressive scorpion flick and a left-footed touch in front of the goalkeeper in the 60th and 63rd minutes, respectively. That effort broke a six-game scoreless streak in league play for the attacker. Although he should now have a greater chance of starting on the right flank, he'll face the challenge of showing that he can also produce in more difficult situations.
