Goals / app

0 goals in 22 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 1 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.4/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.08 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

Rated 74.2 overall — elite — among the best in the position. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.08 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.
