Creative presence in midfield
Valenzuela registered one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and four chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Seattle Sounders FC.
Analysis: Valenzuela remained involved throughout the contest from his advanced midfield role, contributing both as a shooter and creator while playing the full 90 minutes. Valenzuela's ability to contribute across multiple attacking categories continues to give him a useful fantasy profile even when he isn't directly involved in a goal, as he has one of the highest floors in the Cincinnati roster outside of Evander.
Provides one assist in victory
Valenzuela assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Wednesday's 2-1 victory against New York City FC.
Analysis: Valenzuela made an immediate impact on his return from the two-match suspension he received for his red card against Columbus Crew, providing the key pass in the 90th minute build-up that redirected Pavel Bucha's ball into Evander's path inside the box for the match-winning goal, also registering one cross and three chances created across his time on the pitch. The midfielder has now scored one goal and contributed three assists across 16 MLS appearances this season, and his ability to deliver impactful creative contributions immediately upon returning from suspension underlines why he is an important component of Cincinnati's midfield structure heading into the Seattle Sounders fixture.
