Goals / app

14 goals in 30 appearances (0.47 per game) is double figures — and for a lower-table side (11th of 16), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 17 goal contributions (0.57 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 91% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.62 goal contributions per 90 (0.51 goals, 0.11 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 0.95 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 32, 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 17.3, Acheampong carries the 17th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Super League of 29, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Dalian Zhixing finished 11th of 16) — 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 (0.62 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
