Judged on this season alone, Konqobe graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 32 of the 32 attacking midfielders in the Premier Soccer League, on 2 goals and 1 assist in 24 appearances (0.172 involvements per 90).

On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 21st of 32 of the 32 attacking midfielders in the Premier Soccer League. At 30 Konqobe is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.17 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.83 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 13.2, Konqobe carries the 21st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier Soccer League of 32, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Chippa United finished 13th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.17 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
