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.
Working with team
Orellano (undisclosed) is now training with the group ahead of the Clausura week four clash with Tijuana, Gilberto Galvan of Once Diario reported Friday.
ANALYSIS
Orellano will likely make his Liga MX debut within the next couple of weeks after transferring to Monterrey from MLS side Cincinnati in January. He could initially see minutes as a substitute before challenging Tecatito Corona, Anthony Martial and Lucas Ocampos for a starting role on one of the wings. Orellano featured as a wing-back in his last MLS season, during which he scored two goals and five assists over 30 appearances (22 starts), but he should play a more offensive role now with Rayados.
