Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Benteke.
Judged on this season alone, Benteke graded 40 — a solid campaign that ranks top 32% of the 64 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 → 40). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 53rd of 64 of the 64 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 1.4 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.
9 goals in 25 appearances (0.36 per game) for a mid-table side. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 12 goal contributions (0.48 per appearance).
With a Rating of 15.2, Benteke carries the 53rd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer of 64. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.57 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~5), then tapers with age. At 35, Benteke sits on 1.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Benteke's projected Rating — 15.2 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
