1 goal in 19 appearances (0.05 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 4 goal contributions (0.21 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.42 goal contributions per 90 (0.1 goals, 0.31 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 47.9, Bafdili carries the 14th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League of 19 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.42 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
