Goals / app

8 goals in 26 appearances (0.31 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 11 goal contributions (0.42 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.79 goal contributions per 90 (0.57 goals, 0.22 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 39, Faal carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Premier League (top 6%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Ruh Lviv finished 14th 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 genuine goal threat (0.79 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
