On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 21st of 27 of the 27 centre-forwards in the Super League. At 32 Malele is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.
Malele is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
6 goals in 26 appearances (0.23 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. Add 2 assists for 8 goal contributions in all.
With a Rating of 15.2, Malele carries the 21st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Super League of 27, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Dalian Zhixing finished 11th 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 (0.33 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~4), then tapers with age. At 32, Malele sits on 1.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Malele's projected Rating — 15.2 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
