1 goal in 19 appearances (0.05 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 8 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.47 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 75.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.63 goal contributions per 90 (0.07 goals, 0.56 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 48.513000000000005, Ellis carries the 11th-highest potential of the wingers in the Major League Soccer (top 21%). In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.63 goal contributions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
