2025 Fantasy Outlook
Martinez ended up being one of NYC FC's best signings, completing his first full MLS campaign. With Mounsef Bakrar and Jovan Mijatovic not working out, Nick Cushing turned to Martinez. He finished as NYC FC's top scorer with 17 goals in 30 appearances, making 23 starts while averaging close to a goal scored per 90 minutes played. Despite a change of gaffer, the forward will likely assume the striker position again for 2025. He's projected for a 15-goal year for the boys in blue playing alongside Santiago Rodriguez and Hannes Wolf.
Undergoes successful surgery
Martinez (knee) underwent a successful surgery for his torn ACL on Thursday and will begin his long term recovery with the NYCFC staff, the club announced.
ANALYSIS
Martinez underwent a successful surgery to repair his torn ACL suffered while on international duty with Costa Rica, and he will now begin his long term recovery. This will keep him away from the pitches for about 10 months, which will likely make him miss almost the whole 2026 MLS season, with a return expected around late September, early October. The striker still has a contract going through 2027 with options for 2028 and 2029, suggesting he won't have pressure and will be able to recover in good conditions with the hope to return to his best level. Martinez scored 19 goals in 33 appearances this season for NYCFC, two more than the previous campaign, highlighting the importance he had in the frontline.
