Goals / app

1 goal in 17 appearances (0.06 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 6 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 7 goal contributions (0.41 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.06 goals, 0.35 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 54.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, 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 11.4, Valot carries the 41st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the USL Championship of 44. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.41 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
