Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.38 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.13 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.9% 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 19.6, Rutz carries the 20th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the USL Championship of 26 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.38 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
