Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 37.7, Joveljić carries the 23rd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer of 45, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sporting Kansas City finished 15th of 15) — 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 productive contributor (0.46 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
