Goals / app

4 goals in 12 appearances (0.33 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.41 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.3% 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 22.4, Zubak carries the 27th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the USL Championship of 44 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.41 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
