5 goals in 33 appearances (0.15 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 8 goal contributions (0.24 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.15 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 12.1, Chessa carries the 5th-highest potential of the wingers in the 3. Liga of 5, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (SSV Ulm 1846 finished 19th of 20) — 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 (0.4 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
