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.
Picks up injury against Charlotte
Orellano left the field with an apparent muscle discomfort in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Orellano was active as a left wing-back before being forced off and replaced by Ender Echenique during the defeat. The Argentinian midfielder, who has started five of the last six league games, is at risk of missing upcoming action depending on how serious his problem turns out to be. His potential exclusion would likely mean more playing time for Echenique on the flank.
