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.
Emphatic finish in win
Kevin Denkey scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Portland Timbers.
ANALYSIS
Kevin Denkey's rocket strike on the half-volley opened the scoring for Cincinnati Saturday as they earned a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Portland. The goal comes in the forward's second appearance (first start) since a leg injury caused him to miss three successive league fixtures. Overall, Denkey has scored 13 goals this season across 23 appearances (21 starts), including two goals over his last five appearances (four starts).
