On long-term scout potential he's rated 14.1, ranking 465th of 520 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (61.7% of available minutes).

Judged on this season alone, Benteke graded 35 — a solid campaign that ranks top 32% of the 67 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer, on 9 goals and 3 assists in 25 appearances (0.572 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 71 → 35). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 56th of 67 of the 67 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer. At 35 Benteke is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Benteke missed 4 games through injury (ankle, injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 25 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
