2 goals in 24 appearances (0.08 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 5 goal contributions (0.21 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.63 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.38 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 20.8% 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 42.9, Symalla carries the 2nd-highest potential of the wingers in the 3. Liga of 14 — though on just 24 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.63 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
