Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.27 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 21.7, Sinisterra carries the 28th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the USL Championship of 44, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Oakland Roots finished 10th of 12) — 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 work-in-progress on end product (0.27 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
