Goals / app

5 goals in 18 appearances (0.28 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 8 goal contributions (0.44 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.59 goal contributions per 90 (0.37 goals, 0.22 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 50.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.68 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 42.8, Luna carries the 7th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer (top 18%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Real Salt Lake finished 11th 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 genuine goal threat (0.59 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
