4 goals in 12 appearances (0.33 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 6 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 64.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Final-third output. 0.67 goal contributions per 90 (0.44 goals, 0.22 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.7, Kabongo carries the 8th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Czech Liga of 47 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.67 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~15), then tapers with age. At 23, Kabongo sits on 14.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Kabongo's projected Rating — 49.7 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.
