Bucha remains a key cog in the Cincinnati midfield, having started in each of Cincinnati's last 16 league fixtures and played the full 90 minutes on 15 of those occasions.

Credited with assist Bucha assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Wednesday's 4-3 victory versus Philadelphia Union.

Impact Bucha was credited with what can only be considered as one of the easiest assists he'll make in his career, as he passed the ball to Luca Orellano, who scored from behind the halfway line with an absolute rocket after seeing the opposing goalkeeper, Oliver Semmle, off his line. Bucha plays as a central midfielder, so his fantasy upside is limited, but he has one goal and one assist over his last two appearances. He's also up to two assists on the campaign across 18 starts.

He also recorded a secondary assist on Kevin Kelsy's goal in the 74th minute and added two tackles and one interception in his full 90 minutes of action.

MAY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Signed by Cincinnati Bucha has agreed to a transfer to Cincinnati FC from Czech side FC Viktoria Plzen, his new club announced Wednesday.

Impact Bucha will spend at least the next three seasons with his new club, having inked a contract until 2026 with a further option for the 2027 campaign. The midfielder comes into the club holding 200 professional appearances, most recently appearing 30 times while notching two goals and one assist with Viktoria Plzen in the first half of the 2023/24 season. The 25-year-old should add some decent depth to the squad for Cincinnati and may be able to shape out a starting spot at some point, but expect the player to only begin in a bench role, earning time here and there as he makes a name for himself in the MLS.
