G+A

Goals / app

11 goals in 23 appearances (0.48 per game) is double figures — and for a relegation-threatened side (5th of 6), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone. Add 1 assist for 12 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 1.04 goal contributions per 90 (0.95 goals, 0.09 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33.9% 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 12, Melamed carries the 12th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Ligat Ha'al of 12, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Maccabi Haifa finished 5th of 6) — 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 (1.04 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
