11 goals in 14 appearances (0.79 per game) — double figures playing for an upper-table side (6th of 18). Add 1 assist for 12 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 1.05 goal contributions per 90 (0.96 goals, 0.09 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33.7% 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 32.6, Prtajin carries the 14th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the 2. Bundesliga of 18 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (1.05 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
