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.
In training
Denkey (leg) was able to return to the training pitch as there still is no timeline of return. According to manager Pat Noonan, "He was out on the field for the first time yesterday, which was the plan with his rehab. So no real update outside of that. "Same timeline that we were anticipating, maybe a little bit ahead" per Kamran Nia of the Enquire.
ANALYSIS
Denkey has made his return to training, though is not ready to return to action quite yet. He is, however, not too far along as a comeback during the Leagues Cup tournament is still a possibility.
