2025 Fantasy Outlook
It was hard to imagine FC Cincinnati finding a replacement for Alvaro Barreal's All-Star season in 2023. Orellano was brought in on a loan-to-buy option from Vasco da Gama and arguably had a better season in 2024 than Barreal did in 2023. In 33 league appearances, Orellano scored 10 goals and added five assists. His versatility was displayed as he saw time at both wing-back positions, attacking midfield and forward. With FC Cincinnati activating his purchase option, Orellano is set to be a key player in their future. While he might not have another 80-yard golazo, he should project for a similar season of 15-to-20 goal contributions.
Out with leg injury
Orellano is out for Saturday's match against New York City FC due to a leg injury, according to the MLS injury report.
ANALYSIS
Orellano suffered an injury in their last outing, and that will keep him from playing for a bit, with the attacker out for at least their game against Philadelphia. That said, this will force a change as he is a starter, with Lukas Engel likely to be an option on the left flank.
